Avilien: Tutorial islands

Time's up

On the island of Coco and deep within the heart of Ice, Brit was also in despair. She strolled the frozen, snow-covered streets in a daze. Her name had yet to change to red and the allotted time was now over. she had failed to do what was asked of her. Fingers trembling, knees weak, she put one foot in front of the other and headed for the town hall.

Night had fallen and the moons appeared, full and bright in the wintery sky. There had been a commotion amongst the other players. Brit heard whispers of a great feat. Damocles had secured a royal game guide. Looking into the sky as she often did to forget all her worries, Brit looked at the azure moon, the crimson moon, and the golden one. No clouds obscured the vision and trillions of stars could be seen. Brit wished she could be up there with them as she stretched her hand out to the sky.

Every hour, on the hour since her capture Brit had sent a mail to Awesome Biscuit. Every time it was auto-rejected. She had done this for three days and now her faith in her betrothed was shattered. Awesome Biscuit wouldn't block his mails. He helped anyone and everyone.

Pushing on the town hall door Brit walked in at a slow pace. Her crimson hair hid most of her face and the tears. Inside was a full house. Brit didn't know, but Damocles, Moto, and Salamay had returned a few hours before her arrival. Straight from Mixten, they were gloating about the battle, laughing and drinking as they mocked Luke and the others with wild expressions.

Salamay noticed Brit first and giggled at the sight of her and her neutral name. Damocles, Next noticed her arrival. He knew her name wouldn't be red as he had guards monitor her every several hours.

"I...I..." Brit stumbled her words and then fell to the floor as tears dropped. "Forgive me, Squeeks. I couldn't delete a single person." Brit chewed on her lip and sobbed without knowing where Squeeks was.

This time when Brit entered the grand foyer she had an audience. Nate sat watching the display. Grinning ear to ear he found it remarkable that a long time nemesis of his had been broken and beaten into such submission. A feat that he would applaud Damocles for, if not for the fact he wanted to delete him.

"Oh no! Her wittle game guide goes bye-bye," mocked Salamay followed by the group's laughter.

Damocles reining in his laughter stood and walked towards Brit who remained on the floor.

"The deal was three days to turn your name red and swear allegiance to me. I see that you have done neither," He spat on Brit as he loomed over her.

Looking up at the nasty monster before her Brit lunged at his shoes as spit clung to her hair.

"Please! I beg you to give me more time," she grovelled as Moto, Nook, and Salamay laughed.

"If I gave you all the time in the world you still wouldn't delete a single person. Instead, I shall think of something else. I'm in a joyous mood today. Why not kiss my shoes." Damocles smirked as Brit grabbed a hold of his left foot.

"Please!" she begged over and over as she kissed each foot.

"What do you guys think?" Damocles looked back at his underlings who were laughing like hyenas. "I'm having second thoughts myself," claimed Damocles.

"Please! Please! Please!" Hands clasped together and on her knees, Brit pleaded to all other members of Damocles group.

"Beta class users are pathetic," spoke Nook.

"Ahh, let her off this one time boss, I'm itching to play cards with you," said Moto as he glugged down his beer.

"Do as you please, shes no issue of mine," replied Salamay.
