"Wa… p…" [???]
("Huh…?") [Adam]
A voice called out to him, but he couldn't find the source. His surroundings filled itself with darkness, along with an endless warmth that enveloped him.
"Wak… p…" [???]
("Who… is that…?") [Adam]
"WAKE UP!!!" [???]
"UWAHH!!" [Adam]
His eyes shot wide open, and he leapt out of bed. Glancing around, he found Felix staring at him with his arms crossed.
"You done?" [Felix]
"Oh… That… That was you?" [Adam]
Without replying Felix grabbed a pair of clothing from Adam's closet and threw it at him.
"Oof! What was that fo-!" [Adam]
"Shut up, get changed, and come outside. We're going to a dungeon." [Felix]
After leaving some parting words, he shut the door behind him as he walked downstairs.
"..." [Adam]
("OH!!! I forgot that we had to go to a dungeon today!") [Adam]
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
After clothing himself, he met Aurora and Felix downstairs.
"Morning." [Adam]
"You're late." [Aurora]
She didn't seem very happy to be there.
"32 seconds." [Felix]
"What?" [Adam] [Aurora]
"It took 32 seconds for you to change and come downstairs." [Felix]
"You were timing me?" [Adam]
"Since we're all ready, let's go." [Felix]
"Huh?! Don't change the subject! Hey, wai-!" [Adam]
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
"Oh, they're already here." [Felix]
By the time they arrived at the dungeon, Heru and Tiffany were already standing idly by it.
"You made it." [Heru]
"Of course, I was the one who invited you after all." [Adam]
"...Go-good morning…" [Tiffany]
"Good morning to you too!" [Adam]
While they were having their moment, Aurora was getting a bit impatient.
"Quit chattering. Let's get this over with so I can go home." [Aurora]
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
As they entered through the swirling vortex, the surrounding area turned into a well lit cave. It's insides consisted of dark gray stone pillars lining the walls along with luminous crystal lights permeating the ceiling. It was stretched forward, as if it were inviting them in.
"This… Is much different than last time…" [Adam]
"Adam! Pull me out! Quickly!" [Krino]
("What?!") [Adam]
Red lights flickered from behind the stone pillars, putting Adam on edge.
"Something's there guys!" [Adam]
He extended a hand, taking a moment to summon Krino.
"...Guys?" [Adam]
He glanced around him, but none of his allies were in sight.
"Huh?! Where did they go?!" [Adam]
"Worry about yourself right now!" [Krino]
Light flashed from behind the pillars. Objects flew out at him at blinding speed.
"Wha-?!" [Adam]
Seeing something fly at him, his body reacted. With slight movements, he sliced the first object in half and tilted his head to evade the second one.
("Only two?") [Adam]
"Above!" [Krino]
Hearing his warning, Adam looked upwards to have something whiz by his head.
"Woah!! That was close! What was that?" [Adam]
He looked downwards at his feet. Between his legs was something resembling a blade without a handle.
("Is this… an incomplete sword?") [Adam]
He reached out for it, but was interrupted by Krino.
"It's coming!" [Krino]
As he spoke, a large silhouette emerged from the shadows of the pillar.
("What... is that…?") [Adam]
It's build was similar to a human's, but it was more machine than man. It's frame was astonishingly thin, and it had many blades penetrating its back.
"That's… a siyr!" [Krino]
"See-r?" [Adam]
"No, a siyr. It's something that should only be in the collective armory, but…" [Krino]
("Collective armory? You're not making any sense.") [Adam]
"Nevermind, that doesn't matter right now. Right now, we have to survive." [Krino]
The Siyr slowly approached Adam. It's body constantly clicked, and it's movements swayed as it put its foot forward.
"Scales of Libra!" [Adam]
Black and white blades appeared above Adam, launching themselves at the Siyr. To Adam's surprise, it didn't block or dodge. All of his projectiles hit its mark.
"That… was easy…?" [Adam]
