Plans for the present

New day, new trial.  This time I had to hunt Drooling Daisy.
Getting to the area it liked to hang out in was a little complicated.
I had to navigate my way through the Crawler’s Nest without a map and eventually come out to Rollanberry Fields.
Once I arrived, I was able to team up with a few others who were on the same trial.
Drooling Daisy wasn’t the only notorious monster that liked to hide out in this secluded area of the fields.
As I was making a lap around the pond, I nearly ran smack into Simurgh!!

I stopped, pin wheeling my arms and reversing my direction.  Luckily it did not see me.
Eventually a small group showed up to try and slay the beast.  They were taking quite a beating.  I knew it would be a while before Drooling Daisy re-appeared, so I sought to assist the group with a cure.
Boy did THAT tick the giant bird off.  It came tromping after me!!
I hadn’t expected such a negative reaction and was not at all prepared for the pecking it visited upon me.
A white mage was kind enough to cast Raise III on me for my failed efforts.
After that, I stayed on the far side of the pond and waited.

Eventually, my fellow trial seekers had to depart.
I decided to curl up in the grass and catch a little cat nap until Drooling Daisy returned.

I’m not sure how much time passed, but I was awakened by someone tapping me gently on the side.

Kiamo..?

Mmmhmm…

Are you okay?

Bleary-eyed, I blinked a familiar face into focus as I sat up.

Oh!!  Hi there!  Nice to see you again.^^ 

The red mage crouched beside me while I reacquainted my self with awake-ness.

You as well.  Is something wrong..?

Oh no, no.  I just… was passing the time waiting for the NM.

I see, so have you gotten a chance to try out that sword?

No not yet… I’ve only been working on the trial.

We will have to remedy that later.

I nodded and smiled.  The red mage straightened his legs and offered his hand to pull me up off the grass.

We spent the rest of the day slaying and then waiting on Drooling Daisy.
Our patience paid off and we finished the trial!^^
Again, we sat chatting before making our way back to Jeuno.
This time, of our past.
Then we made plans for the present.

Next is 400 birds.  Would you like to join me for that one?

Oh yes!  I would be honored!

Can you go to sky?

I sure can! ^^  Oh and I need a key for the map there, too.

Then that is where we will go.  We can do a Fields of Valor Page and get you a key, too.

Okay!  I’m excited!

And…  I’ll teach you how to solo.
