Snippet #2753642

The Dawn Herald -Dawn for short- was pretty grumpy at this point. She had chosen to spawn in a random starting area, and it had send her to Dream City. She was now doubting the wisdom of said choice. Of many choices actually. Couldn't she have chosen a region with spawns her purifying magic would actually work on? Would it be too much to ask for monsters a larger size, so she could actually stab them with her Sirius Daggers?

She meant, sure, Selene could double as a spear, but when her enemies were this tiny and swift, that would be of little use.

Now, one might be confused about her grumblings, so we're taking a little swim upstream the river of time.

Dawn was surprised at how /right/ this body felt, when compared to the one she had in real life, but didn't stop to question it. She excitedly went through the tutorial, and as a result spawned in whatever starting location the game saw fit. Which was Dream City in this case.

She opened the map to search for quest NPCs, and found one nearby, which she leisurely walked towards, in awe of how realistic her surroundings were. She saw a troubled looking storekeeper, and one look at the map confirmed that this was the NPC in question.

Walking closer towards the old woman, she heard part of her grumblings, "... Stupid rats nibbling at my wares..."

Dawn approached the woman, "Ah, I couldn't help but overhear you just now", she began, "But do you need some help with those rats?"

Dawn stomped her hoof in frustration, which resulted in a squelching sound.

She looked down, and surely, she had just squished a rat to death. She pulled a face at the blood and intestines sticking to her hoof, and was relieved when the remains dissolved into motes...

She shrugged in the end, "What works, works", she muttered to herself, and began stomping at the rats. It wasn't that much better than wacking at them with Selene, but at least it was slightly faster. It took a while for her to get the hang of it, but it paid of in the end.

Finally the rats stopped appearing, which she took as a sign that the quest was over. Dawn went back, told the storekeeper as much and got her reward, which consisted of 30 exp, a few beginner potions, and 25 Nanopoints.
