I look at the monsters that surround me, the giant sickles, their pincers could cut me, a level 24 in half, ending my journey of sao in a murky swamp. My pride slipped out of my reach, and I screamed in a fleeting hope of my survival. The I see a purple flash with a pale blue, it's an attack. I look at the rescuer, it's a girl, she short but not that short, I look behind her to see a giant sickle charging for her, she attempts to turn around, but he legs are stuck in the dark brown murkiness of the muck mud. She has a face of disgust. I hear her yell. As she uses a sword that is almost as tall as her and I, the blade is a brilliant black. Her sword skill of ten hits does exponesial damage. The giant sickle charging for her dies along with three others in the radius. I look at her and her muck covered legs. "Damn I triggered a flag monster," she says, what is a flag.... I hear a moth type monster roar, it was loud to hear. "Hey can you get up?" The girl sternly asks me. I try to get myself out of the muck, with no succes, "ok keep trying I'll cover you, k?" The girl says to me. Then I hear her use a bird call. A Owl's, then I notice her ears, their elongated like an elf's. Just as the call ended a smaller figure comes out of the trees, it's an elf, her armor and blade were astonishing to look at. It took a while for the moth to find us, but when it did, my two protectors fought off the horrid beast. While I was trying to get out of the mud, the monster was already at half. Once I had finally freed myself the two protectors had gotten stuck. I decided to help them, and when I got out my club, and use a collision sword skill, the tip of my club glowed an orangish as I rushed in. When the club made contact, it was critical hit, And with that, the moth beast burst into trillions of blue shards, I had earned the last attack bonus. Blacksmith's cape. When I equiped it, my raspberry armor, had really complemented the brown Cape, I had looked at the two girls, one was stern, oh boy, I prepared myself for the scolding.
"Listen please dont do that again, these monsters aren't a joke ok?"
"Uh"
I wasnt scolded ,but warned, I looked at my saviour in the eyes, the raspberry eyes. They had the look of concern, I looked down, and nodded.
"Owl wanna help me get,....uh" the girl started then getting flustered of not knowing my name.
"Lisbeth, or lis" I quickly say to get that out of the way.
"Yes, lisbeth," the girl continued still a little blushed up.
"I'm galaxy811, or galaxy"
"I'm owl,"
I look at the two elves and smile, I look around picking up materials I need to finish an order.  When we finally got to the floor iv main city, we went to a restuarant that I paid the meal for, as a thank you.  But when we entered Galaxy811 gave Owl a poncho to wear, I was confused, but I never noticed her cursor, its red, but why and she can enter the town? The white stone that was clicking became quite to my beating heart, and llevann polka, what what, I thought I buried that song in my subconscious six years ago. When I got back to my sences, I look at the two elves and decide to make some small talk.
"Galaxy what's your profession?"
"Blacksmith, swordswomen, and treasure hunter,"
"Oh cool, how about you Owl,"
"I am her highness' royal gaurd, corpral!"
"What about you lis?"both of the ladies ask me while we enter the restuarant.
"I, uh, ah, um, I'm a blacksmith, and a clubweilder," I sheepishly say, both nod, and a glow aappears in Galaxy's eyes. Suddenly we are approached by a group of men. They look at Owl in the poncho, Galaxy goes for the sword on her waist, slowly, but she's noticed, one of the men grabs out a serrated scimitar.
"Listen we could do this the hard way or the easy way? How would it be," #1 says in his hoarse voice. Galaxy just looks up, and slaps him across the room. "Shut the hell up,"she says trying to keep a straight face. She failed the attempt and starts to laugh, I have to say Owl and I joined. #2 quickly grabs Owl and holds her with his dagger by her neck. #3 comes out of no where and pick me up, I shreik l trying to get down. Galaxy looks at both of us, she just pulls out a dagger "you ever heard of special proficentcies, I met up witha certain Rat and she told me about wielding both a sword and a dagger at once, you just need a certain egg," Galaxy says beginning to ramble. She seethes the danger again to grab her sword, I try to appraise it but I can't, it's to high of a level for me.
"Ok boys how about it, one on one?"
"Your crazy!"
Owl look down into her poncho's hood she knows their in trouble, but I don't know what's yo happen next. I take a look at the dark skinned girl to see her in on second by us, and then seeing the leader on the wall across the room.
"Its ok you wont die, you just get knocked around," threatens Galaxy with a cold voice.
"Boys let's get  out of here!" #1 shreiks like a baby, and like that they leave sunning without tails between their legs. By the time they left the restaurant,  we were laughing. When I turn to the NPC I noticed that the restaurant was a lot nicer then I expected, the red carpet was a nice shade of scarlet. The birch wood furnature reminded me of home. I looked at the girls, thank both of then for showing me a good time, we just spend time at the restaurant the rest of the night laughing, eating, and drinking tea the rest of the time. The on thing I can never forget is, "Lis wanna be my apprentice and our third party member?"
I said yes.
