"Of all the places in Midgar, why did you drag me here? You could have at least warned me of the humidity…." Ao asked, trailing after her ninja friend.

"You'll see soon" Naixoa smiled, slipping on her banana hat

"That hat looks ridiculous" Ao remarked. Smirking at the hat. She moved to take the hat off her friend, but tripped "What?" The high priest looked around "Those roots weren't there before…"

Naixoa laughed

"That's why we came here" She said "The monsters are great, and the wooden golems drop dead branches" She reached down and helped Ao up.

"So what tripped me up then?"

"That was a dryad" Naixoa pulled on one of the roots, and a dryad came tumbling out of the bushes "See? But don't worry, they're quite harmless" Naixoa boasted, just before the dryad tripped her up too. Ao laughed

"Whatever Naixo" Ao said, holding her bible ready for a fight "Quite harmless, yet aggressive if they see you" She chuckled, casting a blessing for both girls. "Are you going to help or what?" Ao smiled, as Naixoa stumbled up. She pulled out a handful of throwing stars

"Oh yes" She said, grinning, and throwing a star.

As Naixo threw her stars, Ao cast an agility up spell on the ninja, and then began to bash the dryad herself.

"Ugh! This bible does hardly any damage!" Ao shouted, retreating. She quickly searched through her inventory and found the Book of the Blazing Sun. She picked up the book and ran back at the dryad. Vines were flicking in every direction, making hard to get close to the monster, but this wasn't stopping Ao. Dodging the vines and Naixo's stars, Ao came right close to the dryad, jumped, and bought her book down hard on its head. Unfortunately, the whole move was ruined by a vine that wrapped itself round Ao's waist in mid air. Naixo laughed, as she threw her last stars to finish the monster off, causing Ao to fall to the ground as the dryad disappeared.

"Yes, thank you Naixo" Ao grumbled, standing up and rubbing her butt.
