"That's Kira's trick!" Rowan exclaimed. He thought back to how Kira had knocked him out with it.
TRCreader: Now that I think about it, Ikra is just another way to spell Kira! [Amazed]
stephensolos: Oh so she a fan girl huh [eyeroll]
TRCreader: .....do you see ur username?
stephensolos: put some respect on Stephen. he's a badass.
"Looks like she's copying her," Onyx said, watching as Ikra got up and walked away from the fight. CZMT was still on the floor, pupils rolled back and completely knocked out.
"YEAH, that's a pretty hard hit," Rowan spoke.
"It was a miracle YOU even got up." Onyx joined in.
They watched in the channel as the little owl/frogs picked up CZMT And took him out of the ring.
"They're preparing for Hunter's fight!" Rowan said as he got up to put his things on when suddenly...
*FWOOSH*
*SLAM*
Somebody came flying in front of Rowan and slammed him to the ground. The shadowed figure reached back for a punch but stopped right before they hit Rowan's face.
"why don't you go through with it?" The figure asked.
Behind them were Rowan's chained blades held up by the sticks he collected earlier. They aimed directly behind the person's head, inches away.
"You first." Rowan replied with a nervous smirk on his face.
The shadowed figure then got up and reached its hand down to Rowan.
"Hahaha, I'm just playing!" The person said as they came into view.
"Gum girl?" Rowan asked, looking at the woman in front of him.
The girl with the stretchy physical manifestation stood in front of him with long black hair and a red button-down shirt. She had on pants like Rowan but the black type. There was a scar on the top of her nose bridge, seemingly stitched up.
'Was she the one watching me?' Rowan thought as he watched the laughing girl. Her username, level, and health bar were to her side. 'So she doesn't hide them?'
He activated [3rd person viewing] and looked through her profile.

'So she's the other player!' Rowan thought. 'Reincarnation? I thought I was the only woman Reincarnation?'
"Are you looking through my profile?" Tanon spoke from Rowan's side.
"You knew?" He said with an awkward laugh.
TRCreader: You were staring into space for a long time [laugh]
Stephensolos: yeah u were not subtle AT ALL [skull]
"Hey I have a question real quick. You ARE a woman right?" Rowan asked.
"I don't know, am I?"
Rowan gave her(him?) a confused look. Tanon didn't really have a curvy body...but a formal reincarnation in a mans body? But Onyx said that doesn't happen. So she a he? But her face...and voice! Rowan decided to keep it pushing before his brain exploded right then and there.
"Looks like we're both signed with Talis huh? So you're my what? Channel mate?" Rowan said, feeling awkward at Tanon's stares.
"Well, that depends..." she spoke. "Why did you ignore the guy who needed help?"
'SO SHE WAS WATCHING!' Rowan thought as he walked behind her to get his cloak.
'He's trying to act cool so badly.' Onyx snickered.
"You walked the same path I did to get to the waterfall..." Tanon followed him, continuing with her speech. "And probably found the guy while he was still alive, yet you decided to ignore him? Why?"
"Well, I'm sure you also saw the blood trail from the front of the forest to the back. He had been bothering the mother beast for a while and she just had enough. If he was going to do something like that he should have been prepared for the consequences." Rowan spoke calmly as he put on his cloak and put all his things back in the pockets of his hip belt. He thought back to how he saw blood on all the different branches he was picking up.
"So you left a player in need to die because it's his karma? That beast had killed many players over the years so why does it matter if he was bothering her?" Tanon replied.
"I mean how is that my problem? Are they my family? Friends? Why would I care?" Rowan shrugged.
"Wow." Tanon exclaimed. "I really hate people like you! HAHAHA!" She laughed with a bright face and Rowan gave a light chuckle.
"Don't worry, I hate people like me too." He said as he picked up his swords and put them on his back. "Well, I need to get back because my fight is after this one. Bye channel mate!"
He waved to Tanon and she waved back as he ran away, back to where he came from.
"Well this is going to be interesting," Onyx spoke. "You're both under Talis so you'll be hearing more of each other."
Stephensolos: different people have different values [shrug]
TRCreader: Lmao she had all 21 of the viewers [skull]
"Yeah, she even had a heavenly being on there!" Rowan exclaimed.
Stephensolos: no sponsors though.
"What do sponsors do exactly?" onyx asked. "Like I know a little bit but can you explain?"
Stephensolos: sponsors pretty much give you a part of their power, money, and unlimited Ahi. Depends on their level in the heavenly realm though. The more popular a sponsor is the stronger. They also don't have to sponsor you to give you power boosts. And there are different levels of the contracts you make with them.
TRCreader: yeah, chauntea is one of the lower sponsors.
"Stephensolos sure does know a lot about this." onyx mumbled to Rowan.
Stephensolos: Ofc I do. All the players I have chosen before have all been successes as well! [brag]
"Ugh he heard that..." onyx groaned.
"Now that you say that, I should put your donation to use." Rowan spoke as he pulled up the shop.
So many different weapons, skills, and power boosts showed up in front of him. The screen was so overwhelming with all the different things on there trying to get his attention.
"AH!" Rowan exclaimed, squinting his eyes.
Stephensolos: search up 200- that should narrow your choices.
"Alright hold on." Rowan did just that, going to the bar at the bottom with the price and putting in 200or less. The screen shrunk with not many options being left anymore.
"These are all beginner skills," Onyx said. "Go for the cover-up one."
"Nah. I don't really want to cover up my profile right now." Rowan refused and looked through the list. "AHA!" He exclaimed as he tapped on a skill.
"'Gender swap'? Really?" Onyx asked unimpressed. "Not even 'true sight'?"
"HEY! I can turn myself back into a hot girl!" Rowan retorted as he put his finger to his lips, trying to be sexy.
Stephensolos: If you get that with my coins I will kill you. [smile]
"Yes sir," Rowan hang his head down dejectedly after seeing the message.
"Just get 'true sight'" Onyx said. "That skill is super overpowered if you use it well."
*bark! bark!*
Amid the bickering, Rowan heard a very quiet sound to the side of the trail he was walking on. He shushed onyx and walked closer to see what it was. He looked down and under the road to find a baby dear/bear hybrid.
"Oh! It's a baby Tryphuji!" onyx faces lit up.
Rowan picked it up from where it was. It didn't seem to have the energy to fight back as it was dirty, bloody and cold.
"Poor thing." he spoke before getting up and putting it in the hood of his cloak. "Let's take it back to its mom."
Quickly, Rowan jogged to the place he last knew the mother beast to be. Once he got there, he found a crushed body on the floor. The face was beyond deformed and all the guts and liquids spilled out onto the floor. There was a trail of blood leading away from the corpse and deeper into the forest, back to where the waterfall was.
"What the fuck?" Onyx questioned.
Rowan saw the body and froze up. His eyes widened and his face became pale as his breathing started getting jagged. The corpse flashed into another image of a female body on the floor. Bones crushed with blood everywhere. 'The air!' Rowan felt sick. He felt dizzy and was about to pass out. 'It's not reaching my lungs!'
"..owan!"
He couldn't hear the words being said to him at all. The Tryphuji he was holding in his hand suddenly turned into a bloody knife. The image flashed again and things got even blurrier. But then his vision went black.
"ROWAN!"
Onyx wrapped himself around his eyes, covering the body in front of him.
"CALM THE FUCK DOWN!"
Rowan started grasping reality again, clothing his chest as he breathed.
"Deep breaths." Onyx couched him along, counting numbers.
Finally, Rowan calmed down from the panic attack, and his body exited the panic mode he was in.
"Turn around," Onyx spoke.
"I'm fine," Rowan replied but Onyx tightened his grip around the skull.
"OW OW! Fine fine fine!" Rowan turned around and Onyx let him go, allowing him to get his vision back.
Stephensolos: Panic attack?
TRCreader: I mean it's not every day u see something that graphic.
"Damn sorry y'all. I just register my trauma but I'm good now." Rowan took a turn to the left and started walking into the forest, away from the trail and the corpse. After some time he turned to go back on the trail and kept walking forward.
The further he walked the more the blood increased. Onyx kept looking at him to check if he was okay.
"Don't worry I'm fine! I was just caught off guard ya know?" Rowan gave a measuring smile until he came upon the Tryphuji corpse. Its big body laid there lifelessly as the spear was still sticking out of its back.
"What!?" Rowan yelled in a shocked manner.
"There's no way a big monster like that died from those wounds." onyx spoke referring to the slashed eye and spear.
'It's not like it bled out or anything so how could it be dead?' Rowan thought to himself.
*GASP*
Suddenly he remembered something he had overlooked before.
