Mysterious Figure, Mysterious Blade - Ghosts from the Past and Present
Nighthand's Note: This is a repost from when Nall returned from his gapin activity)
It was a windy day atop the Highland city Dun Loireag.... Then again it's always windy in this stupid town. A figure stands by the Chaos gate and laughs to himself, his long ragged robe blowing in the wind. He watches the players run by aimlessly, some choosing a new area to adventure to, some talking and trading in the middle of the pathways. The boy laughs again. Impressed with the looks random players are giving him. A gust of wind blows by him blowing a corner of his robe up, hitting him in the eye.
"OW! Gah! What the!"
The boy holds his face and walks away quickly hoping no one saw him.
"I hate this town....."
The boy sticks out his tongue as he checks his information again.
"hmm... The End Cypher eh? Whatever happened to one word names.... Kids these days..."
The boy sighs and looks around. Scanning the area he sees nothing that could help him.
"This town isn't that big... It can't be THAT hard to find this guy..."
Noticing a group behind him he resists the urge to turn around and shout "BOO." The boy casually walks away and makes his way over the bridges. Players still looked at his odd appearance, as stared curiously. Though his ragged, pukish green cloak was all that was clearly noticeable, they still stared in awe. The hood covered most his head, only letting some shinny white hair spill out of it. His green markings were only noticeable when the boy was looking directly at you. He looks around, scanning for something of interest. He finds nothing but stops in front of the weapon shop.
"Geeze.... I bet he's gonna be at the Grunty farm or something.... Why couldn't he be here at the stupid weapon shop!"
The boy sighs and walks away. He heads towards the scroll shop taking little notice of the groupies that have slowly started to form little groups and point towards him.
“They must be really dumb to think I don’t see each and everyone of them...”
He stops in front of the scroll shop. Looking around proves only that he still hasn’t found his target. He turns around and a group of players quickly scatter, returning to their normal activities. The boy continues his search towards the Grunty Farm, walking across the bridges.
A shiver runs up his spine.
“You can never win. You are weak. You will always be weak. Run. Run from me and cling to hope.”
Those words... The boy shook his head, trying to forget the past he remembered. He was now standing in front of the farm, staring down at a baby grunty. The poor little thing looked up at him begging for food.
”I don’t collect food for you critters... Go waste some other player’s time.”
The grunty looked sad but the boy still walked away. He still didn’t see Cypher. He retraced his steps back to the chaos gate.
“What the hell... I know he’s online and in this town somewhere...”
The boy drops his head looking dejected. He looks over towards the weapon shop as the player catches his eye. Sitting to the side of the weapon shop sat someone. They were alone.
"B-ing-o!"
The boy looks him over and scans his data before walking up to him.
"hmm... Level 24 Blademaster... Oooo... Interesting equipment... Either he's rich, he hacks, or he's a rare item collector... That would explain how he found Reliance... But..."
The boy stares at him a little closer. He takes a quick look around making sure no one is watching him closely and makes sure Cypher still hasn't noticed him. His eyes grow a deep red as he stares back at The End Cypher, scanning every part of data.
"That's what I assumed... He doesn't know about Slepiner yet... Hmm... This could make things easier or harder..."
Cypher looks over in the boy’s direction.
"Oh as if!"
The boy jumps up and looks away pretending he wasn't looking at him. Noticing that his act isn't fooling Cypher and actually making him look like an idiot, he walks over to Cypher.
"You are The End Cypher correct?"
Cypher looks up at the boy and nods.
"Yes, I'm known as The End Cypher. Who are you and why were you watching me? or maybe I should say, spying..."
The boy shakes his head.
"No, no. Not spying, I was merely making sure it was really you. You can call me.... errr...Nall. Yes, I've been looking for you because of something you found..."
Cypher looks at Nall curiously. Pausing a few seconds, as that was the time it took for Nall to realize that Cypher was waiting for him to continue.
"That blade you have there... It's the Reliance no?"
Cypher again nodded, a little hesitantly. Nall stared at Cypher for a few seconds again, repeating the last pause.
"I may seem a little...intrusive... but where did you get that blade if I can ask?"
Nall gave Cypher his best professional grin as he waited for his answer. Nall wondered how Cypher would react to his sudden appearance and questions.
