Final Fantasy Online

Chapter 28: Swords of the Wanderer

Okay...it's been a while since I updated but nobody says I wasn't busy. I've been trying to squeeze in work, even with my insane family interrupting me. Christmas, I had to spend entirely with them but I even wrote till dawn on Christmas Eve. Result: 3 chapters entirely based around the Titan arc.

Even if I've been discouraged, my cousin showed me some vids about Youtubers' comments and opinions on fanfics and SAO. Then I thought: "Man, I feel like I'm doing people a favour." *sigh*

Well enough of that, here you go.

Chapter 28: Swords of the Wanderer

Year 2023 May 15 7:00am

Location: Floor 18 - Cellius Falls

"So, the tomb is here?" Tsukino asked unsurely. The party was standing next to a giant waterfall. Apparently, the tomb was at this very location but since when was acquiring an ultima weapon, or a part of a set, ever been easy?

"I guess is that the tomb and/or dungeon is behind the waterfall," Yami deduced. The party nodded looked around the waterfall. They eventually stumbled onto a cave behind it.

"Alright! We've got our way in!" Raiden cheered.

"Let's head inside. The sooner we get the arm, the better," Kizuna said as the party headed inside. The temperature dropped immensely as the cave was completely frozen inside.

"Jeez. It's so cold."

"All the more reason to hurry this up," Ronen added. The cave turned towards an ice slope. There weren't any alternative paths.

"Heading down a slippery slope I guess," Raiden said.

"In slip-sliding shoes," Scarlet added.

"What could go wrong?" Lumino asked.

"Let's see," Yami smirked kicking Lumino down the slope.

"W-Woah! Aa-aaaaaaah!" The king screamed in shock down the icy path. He fell to the frosty ground hard. A headache hit him hard. "D-dammit!"

"Lumino, you alright!" Tsukino called in concern.

"I can't tell if it's Titan or I just got a headache from you guys."

"Aww. You're welcome," Yami said with a sweet smile.

"I wasn't complementing you!"

"So sad," Ronen added.

"Shut up!" All this commotion had attracted a horde of demons. Imps. Nothing too hard. Tsukino used blitz, kicked off one of the imps and threw a Fire spell burning all of them. "You okay?" the white haired maiden asked.

"Yeah. Headache is wearing off. Maybe it was Titan," Lumino said.

"I've got an ice cream headache, without the ice cream!" Raiden complained. The party just kept moving forward to...

"Again!" Lumino cursed as he slipped down another slope. This one was longer than the last one. "Damn." An Arachne showed up. Lumino warped to the wall and warped to the Arachne severing its head off.

"I really hope we didn't come here for nothing."

"Sure we'll find something if we look."

"This could also prove that the moogle's info is right." "Lumino, I'll take the lead. This environment isn't really suited to you guys," Kizuna proclaimed.
