Snippet #2447002

As he expected, Zeta heard the telltale ping of Strasza's invite. He was still in a bit of a haze, contemplating the best actions to take. He accepted the request as he felt Empyrean's smooth hand grab his own. The touch, though fleeting, helped clear his mind and reminded him of the present. The girls left the doorway and he was once again alone in his room. He searched the room for any signs of change, but there were none. It looked exactly as it did when he had first joined the Knights. It didn't make sense. So much changed in a matter of hours yet everything still looks the same.

He left the room after a few seconds of contemplation and followed a short ways behind the rest of his party. He could hear them talking, but couldn't bring himself respond. Not that they demanded a response, he was just used to always knowing what to say. The women ahead of him broke of into a run as they left the barracks. He quickly followed suit and used this chance to catch up with them.



Zeta passed Empyrean as she slowed down in the town. He sped up, not wishing to witness the depression that overtook the town again today. He finally slowed as he reached the edge of the town. He watched as Strasza engaged two approaching players. Their level was decent, but not great. They came bearing surprising news.

"Yeah, I can't believe it was cleared already!" The man with the bow exclaimed.

"I bet KoB is already in motion and decided to take the initiative to clear the dungeons, so no one had to risk there lives, They already try to do there best from defending players from PKs." The other player's news was what startled Zeta. He hadn't heard any news of the Knights clearing dungeons. Sure, he wasn't the highest on the totem pole, but something like this would require a lot of men. The player must have been mistaken. This did raise the question of who had cleared the dungeon. It couldn't have been a solo-er or a low level guild. Of course, the whole thing could just be a rumor and they were heading into a death trap. Lovely.



The pair had finally made their way to the tower and Zeta was beginning to wonder where Em had disappeared to. He figured she might be stocking up on potions to prepare for the dungeon, but he had a nagging feeling in the pit of his stomach and he would feel much better if they were together. It's much easier to watch someone's back if you can actually see it.

Strasza's voice broke his worried concentration, "We finally made it. Quite a sight huh?"

He took one look at the imposing figure of the tower and agreed, "It's something alright." Once Strasza began dissolving into light, Zeta followed her suit and selected to enter the dungeon.
