I poked my head out the door to find Zidea.
Hi!! Come in!
Hey Kia, I got your message. You seemed so… Excitable heh. I figured I would just stop by.
Oh yes!
Zidea followed me inside and I busied myself preparing him a cup of tea. He looked a little bedraggled, no doubt from some amazing Red Mage adventure.
So, you had your first dynamis run?
I did!! Oh Zidea is was so FUN.
I bet you were pretty busy.
That I was! Here, tea? Sit! Relax. Let me tell you… Oh I had to ask so may questions before we entered. I wanted to give it my best, especially being new. I didn’t want to screw anything up.
Zidea smiled and chuckled as he lowered himself to a comfortable sitting position on the floor. I pressed the mug of tea into his hands, grinning.
They told me to sleepga on the pulls. That was always the most important thing. Sleepga first, everything else after. And so I did. Every pull, sleepga! Then I would cast refresh on the blue mage as she needed. I cured when my comrades were taking a beating. I even set some ice magic on those things they called statues.
Aye, Red Mage in dynamis can be difficult and very busy.
Oh Aye! Very busy! Very exciting! I was loving every moment.
I knelt before Zidea, my eyes shining with renewed excitement as I relived the event in my mind.
Even when an angry Quadav woke up and came after me, I slept it and grinned, not a scratch! Then one of the melee would come along and make quick work of it.
Ohhh! I was even lucky enough to obtain a Wootz Ore!
Wonderful, those sell for a nice amount of gil.
Aye! And I am certainly lacking funds as of late.
I giggled, and paused for breath, remembering the rest of the run.
And did they win it for you?
Oh I am just getting to that part.
I stuck out my tongue at Zidea and waved a finger at him, teasing, before continuing.
When it finally came time for the mega boss… Oh goddess, it sure was mega sized! The leader told us, only magic could be used to defeat it.
Yes, that’s correct. Were you brave enough to cast?
Well, before it was pulled, I asked what spell was best.
Did they tell you Blizzard or Thunder?
They said any. So I fired off a blizzard, thunder… whatever, I don’t even remember hehe… until I ran out of mana.
Once it fell, a mark appeared on the ground. When I checked it…
I presented Zidea with what I had found there.
“Dynamis-Bastok Interloper”. Congratulations Kia!
I excitedly thrust a fist into the air.
Yeah! My first dynamis win! I hope they’re all like that.
Sounds like you went with a really good group. I’m glad your first experience was a good one.
I let out a long sigh and stretched out across the floor.
Yes… And I was quite tired at the end, but so glad for the new, exciting experience. I’m really looking forward to the next one!
And what of that limbus run?
Oh that!!!
I happily clapped my hands together and quickly pulled myself into a kneeling position to better re-tell the tale.
Myst went as Corsair, plus two of her black mage friends and I. My job was to set gravity on incoming monsters. Then sleep after the black mages did a volley of ga spells. Rinse and repeat, as Myst so fondly described it. Which worked out pretty well until we got to the area with behemoth type creatures. They resisted gravity, so I quickly cast bind instead. Luckily that held.
Good!
Yes, hehe, the black mages even said to me, good bind. At the end, there was a super huge behemoth monster!
Heh, yes, a variation of King Behemoth. That is a notorious monster you would find not far from Qufim Island.
Oh in Behemoth’s Dominion.
Exactly.
I’ve been there before, but not seen such a creature, thankfully. The one we encountered was frightful, indeed! Hehe. We, well who ever it was chasing, ran around in a circle with the monster after them. The black mages would cast on it when it stopped to cast on us. This time, my job was to cast Bio and Poison. I even snuck a couple blizzard spells in. Hehe. Oh and of course keep the black mages refreshed.
Of course.
Oh.. But eventually, well I tried to cure, too… but oh… one black mage got knocked out! Myst kept the monster occupied while they recovered. That part was kind of worrisome. But in the end, we bested it!
I grabbed Zidea’s free hand as he finished taking a sip of tea.
Wow! So exciting and fun. I’m really looking forward to the next limbus event with them! They are very talented.
Zidea chuckled, set down his tea and patted me on the head.
That’s great! I’m glad things are going well for you. Thank you for the tea but, I’ve got to get going for Kirin.
I rose to my feet as well and playfully saluted Zidea.
Oh, well I wish you luck on that then!
Well… it isn’t for a while yet, but getting to Kirin room sucks sometimes. I went zero out of forty once.
Long walk-- Huh?
You have to tele to his room. And you either get to it or you don’t. Heh, if you don’t you have to walk back to the beginning to try again.
I pursed my lips and shook my head, confused.
That’s… unfortunate. So it’s totally random?
No… There is a way to one hundred percent get there I think… But I don’t know what it is. Or maybe those people are lucky 100% of the time.
Well I hope you get there first try, then.
It might happen.
Zidea flashed a big smile at me. Then he winked and pressed his hand to my shoulder.
It might not. Heh, you’re welcome to come watch the death. If you’re going to be up a while yet. It will be some time before we start.
Yeah I would… I w--- well no I mean I don’t want to see you and your friends die.
I pouted, choosing my next words.
Aww, but it’s so fun.
I should like to see Kirin one day.
You get to watch me kite Kirin, die, kite again! Haha!
…maybe help to slay it?
We slay it after his minions are dead.
If it wasn’t so late… I would absolutely come and fast cast cure IV you!
Do you know Cure IV pulls massive hate? You would die before I would if you did that.
He patted me gently on the head.
I peeked up at him, and wrinkled my nose.
At least you wouldn’t die then.
Heh, but you would. That would be counter productive.
But you’re the kiter.
Yeah, me and a paladin are.
I let out a disappointed sigh.
I’m going to have to get yet another linkshell to do sky stuff. None of the linkshells I have do it.
None?
No… The dynamis one stopped. The one social does it sometimes, but when I tried to find out exactly when, I was told something like… When people are on and feel like it.
Vague…
I nodded solemnly.
I don’t want to keep you! Good luck tonight, Zidea.
Thank you Kiamo. Sleep tight and sweet dreams.
