Grasping the controller with one hand, I put on my goggles. Turning on my computer I clicked onto a small icon on the left corner. The screen on my headset turned orange. Icons appeared all over the screen. I click the one-labeled "start" and I was teleported into a large town. This was Mac-Anu. In this I was no longer Ami, I was Rhythem, a green haired wavemaster. My outfit was a mid-thigh length dress; green until near the bottom wear it became pink, then frills of a light pink. Near the top was a spot wear it ties, it's pink. My hair was a seafoam green, like all the other green on my character. My right eye is green; my left eye is pink. A pink ribbon ties in a giant bow around my waist. And my shoes are green, up to my knee, with light pink frill at the top, and a pink ribbon around the bottom of my knee. Walking forward I made my character fix her glasses. I had been playing for about a week; I wasn't as high as a level as most people are by this time. I was still only level 4. A small mail icon blinked brightly on the side of the screen. I selected it and read the message.

-Agriel.

Closing the message I moved my goggles to look at the time. It's 5PM, why am I just getting this? Putting my goggles back on correctly I moved my avatar over to the gate. Putting in the words into destination key I teleported myself to the area.

It was a dark place; deep gray clouds floated over head. In real life, it the clouds were that dark, it'd be raining. At least where I live it would be. I stepped forward. There was what looked to be sunken ships burried in the dark sand. Giant fish all over, while small fish stayed near logs mostly. Standing there I called out a few times, with no answer.
"Maybe she's in the dungeon." Motioning my character to the left I looked up at the map and headed towards the red arrow.
Once there I walked slowly around the giant fish to the entrance. I hated how they made you go in through the mouth, I always felt like I was being eaten. Stepping in I was teleported inside the fish's stomach. Walking forward I headed towards the nearest door. The "squish" noise the ground would make when you walked on it turned my stomach. I walked down a set of stairs, concluding she wasn't on the top floor. Searched the second floor too. I'll just search the floors for her. I thought to myself. I headed down another set of stairs. Then another. And then another.
"By the time I find her, I'll probably be on the bottom floor." I grumbled angrily. I don't like wasting my time online. I finally reached the end. I walked towards the treasure chest. At least I get treasure. Opening the box I pulled out a small key. What kind of item is this? Should I use it during an event? Placing the small key into my inventory, I entered /sit and waited for Agriel. Why is she always so late? I sighed impatiently.
"Rhytheeeem!!" Came a holler from the staircase. Out appeared a young looking girl like character. Her hair was long and light blue and she had a pink eye, the other one was covered by a black eye patch. Her skin was white, almost light enough to look like one of a doll. She wore a nice blue dress, with light blue rimming. A line went down the middle and stopped at the triangle cut out that was in the middle of her dress. Weird symbols were on her legs, and her shoes looked like they had melted in the middle, which was surrounded by light blue. On her ankles and back were wings, though looked like they were melting away too.
"'M sorry I'm laaate!" The girl said, rubbing the back of her head. This was Agriel.
I sighed lightly; "It's fine." Making myself stand up I looked at her CGed eyes. "What did you want to show me?"
"Oh yeah!" Agriel squealed, as if she had forgotten, "Hurry hurry! It's not here!" Agriel said, teleporting herself out. I sighed, walking back out manually.
"Over here!" Agriel waved to me as she ran off. Using a Speed Charm I followed after her, the ticking noise the charm made rung through my ears. Agriel stopped, as did I. Pointing up in the air I looked up. Looming over us was a giant lizard, which looked to have the head of a lion. Data streamed through its legs as it looked down at us. It was just basically a staring contest we were having now.
"What now?" I asked.
"Hurry! Attack it!" Agriel said, looking over at me.
"Attack it?! It's way up there!" I shrieked.
"Hurry! Attack it!" Agriel repeated. I forgot, she used to be a event NPC, when she wants something, she'll just repeat it.
"Alright alright..." I sighed, raising my staff. "Vak Kruz!" I yelled as the green fireballs surrounded it, flying towards the creature. The HP decreased then slowly came back. Why'd it coming back...?
I looked towards Agriel to see if she'd say something. She just stared back.
"Please! Do your best!" She cheered, I sighed.
"Vak Kruz!" This was the only attack I had learned yet, besides OI Repth. I repeatedly did the attack, making sure to keep his HP down so it wouldn't regenerate.
Finally it reached zero.
"Yay! It's dead!" I cheered, looking up at it as it slowly bubbled."Eh...?"
Slowly globs of green and black dropped from its body, splattering on the ground below. I jumped out of the way of the falling data.
"We must get out of here now Ms.Rythem!" Agriel yelled over the noise of splattering and sizzling. She ran off, and I followed quickly. I turned my view so I could watch the monster fall apart. What was that...? I was in awe. That couldn't have been planned.

We finally made it back to Mac-Anu. Luckily when you go back to town, you're completely cured. Looking around I noticed Agriel wasn't with me. She must still be afraid to come into towns. I thought, walking down the steps. I stocked up on low priced items. Looking around I wondered what to do now. I usually just follow the leads Agriel tells me about, and they're usually longer then that. Walking forward I made my way back to the steps. There was a loud yell from behind. I turned around as a twin blade girl ran behind me.
"What is it...?" I said, looking at her.
"T-T-That!" She shrieked, pointing to a small creature walking towards us.
"It probably bonded with you." I bent down and patted the small creature's head. It was like a dog with a squished head, but still pretty darn cute. In the last update, they had finally allowed these little guys to follow around their masters. Though some wild ones are allowed to find someone at times.
"I don't want it!" She yelled, looking at the grunty as if it was some poisonous snake coming to eat her.
How come people don't like these things? I stood up, holding the small grunty. "I'll keep it then." I said, looking down at it. It's tailed wagged as it looked up at me.
"Mama Feed me!" It commanded, looking at me.
"Thanks allot!" The girl said, putting in /bow to make herself bow to me before running off.

I stared down at it, feeding it some of the random things you pick up on adventures to feed to grunties. "Well, lets go to our house shall we...?"
