ELDER SCROLL ONLINE!
:::::::::::::::::::
Everything felt like water to her, and Kitty tried to open her eyes. The light was almost unexpected, and it burned like staring at the sun would have, in real life. Shielding her eyes on reflex, she noticed her usual pale, Englander skin was now a sickly green. Stretching her back only once, Kitty lowered her hand once more. She could smell the sea close by and the sting of the sun on her skin made her feel alive.
"I'm an Orc? Man, this sucks!" Swinging a slim arm, she broke a box that was close to her. "Oops!"
"Hey! Watch it, Orc!" An NPC by the looks of it glared at her angrily, and she grinned shyly.
"My bad… hehe…" Rubbing her head, she huffed as her usual brown black hair fell between her eyes. A few other players had spawned sa ship mates as well, and Kitty Kawaii Quakz put a great big smile on her face. "Hello, fellow players!" Arms spread out wide, she gave a joyful laugh.
The twenty others ontop of the wooden dock rose their eyebrows or smiled back waving. A few even ignored her.
"Hey!"
"'Sup!"
"Yo."
"Hiyah!"
"Want to party up, guys?"
"Yeah, party up! Hahaha!"
"Yo, she's smokin'…"
Kitty blushed, feeling a few eyes on her. Chances are the guy she liked in her town wasn't in their server, as each of the ten picked 4,000 players at a time, and at random, and threw them in a server.
A boy, Red guard by the looks, walked passed. "Hey, Kaleb, you here?"
No answers from the crowd came to him, and, in fact, most of them had either gotten who they wanted in their party, or went around him to ask her if she would join them.
"No thank you, guys, I think I'm going to stay here for other players- hey, wait up, S-Sam!" Quickly weaving around the other players to get to the teenager, by the look of him, Kitty skimmed his player name.
The boy turned, unsure of what to say to the beautiful girl moving towards him. "U-um… yes?" He had a hand on his sword hilt as if she would have actually wanted to kill him.
Then again, it was smart to think that, seeing as the server kicked all dead players until the server was won, or a resurrection spell or wish spell, which were supposedly extremely rare and virtually impossible to find, was used on the dead player's body. Kitty herself noticed that see had no weapon, but smiled, knowing she didn't need one.
"Are you looking for someone?"
The boy, Sam, smiled slightly, probably still afraid of her. "Yes. I am."
"Alright than! A quest! Let's party up, and look for this mysterious player Kaleb!" She swiped open the menu, which popped up in front of her much like the one in the Borderlands installment. Sending him a party invite, she pinned it the 'Silent Moon'.
Sam accepted it quickly.
"Soo…" Walking up to him, she stuck out her hand. "My name is Kitty."
The boy gave a wider smile. "Mine is Sc- I mean Sam. Sorry…"
"No need! I understand, but just remember that this game only gives slight changes to a players real appearance. If I think I see you in real life, I'm going to tackle you in a great big hug! Haha!" Her British accent rang out in the port, and Sam chuckled.
The wind picked up a little, and Sam held the leather cap he was spawned with. Kitty looked at the mirror section of her menu, after opening it again.
With dark brown hair that was swept off to the left side of her face, she had a never go away bang that fell down next to her nose. Two amber eyes glistened back at her, and she noticed her ears were slightly tipped like a real Orc's. Her teeth felt a bit bigger, and she realized it was because of the fact she had a set of fangs, although they weren't as large as the NPC Orc's moving passed her. At five foot three, she was slim with bigger thighs thanks to that being where all her food went. And her rear as well but… She had a pair of tight fitting leather pants on, which were black, thigh boots pulled up, also black, and a flowing dress with long sleeves, a shade of a nice purple. A pair of purple steel gauntlets was encasing her hands and arms, and she was happy to know that the game must have known she…
"Hey… Kitty…"
"Hmm?" Looking to her party member, he gave her a sideways glance.
"Want to head to the Imperial City?"
"Sure!" Closing her menu, she did a small jump. The two of them began moving to the front gates of what Sam said was Anvil, a city in Cyrodiil. As they entered to grasses path that was apparently a short cut to the Imperial City, Kitty found that a question popped up in her head. "Hey, Sam. What country are you from?"
"… Hammerfell?"
"No, dummy!" Crouching forward, with a grin on her face, she ducked in front of him as they walked further towards their destination. "I meant in real life! I bet you can't guess where I'm from!"
"Pfft. England." He rolled his eyes. "Get rid of that accent and then ask me a question like that."
Kitty gave a quick intake of breath. "You think my accent is stupid?" She was seriously hurt!
"N-no! I like it! I just meant that question…"
"Got you! Haha!" Bouncing back, she continued down the road.
"Kvatch is the city we'll have to stop at. We need more gold than the 100 pieces they started us with."
Kitty frowned. Why was he being so negative towards her? All she wanted was to make him smile. That was really the main reason she joined up with him. He seemed so sad that he couldn't be with his friend…
"By the way, I'm from America. Just to let you know."
Kitty laughed. "Alright." They continued on their way to the next City, Sam with a half stride, and Kitty with her joyful popping up and down. The sun soon began to set, the wind picking up a little, and the cold beginning to touch her, although she liked that kind of weather.
Sam shivered, his leather armor, and cape probably not enough for him. Kitty looked up at the moon, as the dark blue sky and twinkling stars called beautifully to her. Looking at him still, with head pointed high, she caught him staring at her. He noticed her eyes on him, twinkling in the night, nad he looked away, embarrassed.
"A bit cold, Sam?" Her words came out like honey, and she blushed, noticing how much shorter she was compared to him.
"Y-yeah…"
They remained quiet, walking calmly as if they weren't in a game world or anything.
Everything was peaceful, and for some reason, neither of them felt the need for a torch light, or anything. Something began to nag Kitty, and she frowned.
"What is that sound…?"
"Hm?" Sam hadn't noticed it yet, but it sounded as if…
"Horse! Watch out!" Tackling her companion, they slammed into the dirt. A pair of thundering hooves went by her face, as she looked at the rider with wide eyes. Pulling her new found friend up to his feet, Kitty fell into a combat stance, fists raised. Two more riders, all in Elven armor, appeared, riding around the two of them, as they stood, ready for a fight.
"Look what we've found, boys! Two young kiddies, out for a dangerous midnight stroll!" Their leader perhaps, as Kitty felt, from the snobbish way he carried himself.
Kitty breathed a curse under her breath. "Thalmer. What is it you want?"
The same talker gave her a sadistic grin. "Nothing much… just the information you have on the mass amount of young warriors going towards the Imperial City!"
Kitty snorted. "Like I would tell you! Even if we did know!"
"Then die!"
It should have been expected, but Kitty was unprepared for the attack, and she rolled back as the Elven Long sword swiped at her.
Hissing, ironically, Kitty rose to her feet, and jumped at the rider. He wasn't expecting that type of forward assault, and the horse he was riding reared back in surprise as well. Kitty managed to hit him with a left hook, snapping his head back, and launching him off his horse.
Sam's yell of alarm made her look back, and she saw that the two Thalmer had dismounted their horses, hacking at his hid shield. He managed to hit them back with his curved sword, but was forced back on the defensive as he threw himself from a magically called upon jet of flames. Kitty clenched her teeth. The call of battle was too soon; she hadn't practiced her fisticuffs in quite some time, but as Sam gave another yell of alarm, she went barreling towards the spell user.
"RAWR!" Ramming into him, she slammed him into the dirt, straddling him. Raising a fist with amber eyes glistening with anger, she brought it to his face. The force of the punch snapped his head around, and Kitty grew wide eyes. That sound was familiar...
"You… you broke his neck!" The leader rose to his feet, wiping a bit of blood from his face. The High Elf growled. "Do you know who you are trifling with?!"
Kitty rose to her feet, hearing Sam's sword clashing with his adversary's.
"Do you… know who you are dealing with?" Her boots crunched in the dirt as she took a step forward. "I've felt my hand bring death to a man once before. And you threaten me… I must kill you as well than…" Closing her eyes until they were half open, she leaned her back a bit, feeling the moonlight hit her face, and her hair fall back. That dreaded bang fell to the side as well.
The Elf cursed at her, drawing an Elven axe in his other hand. "I'll send your pitiful life to oblivion, Orc!" He rushed at her, trying to take advantage of her positioning, but she was prepared. Leaning back further, she popped back like a spring, and she landed on her feet.
The Elf, looking for his target, only grew angrier, seeing how lithe and spry his opponent was.
Rushing forward, fist back with the other in front, she felt her arm explode with pain as she blocked his sword, and blocked his axe with her other arm. She pulled her head back, and rammed his helmeted head, as he pulled up his foot, and kicked her in the gut. Sprawling to the dirt on her back, Kitty tried to fight for breath.
Her health had gone down five points, and she noticed Sam's health bar was down one fourth.
"S-a-m…" Croaking, Kitty scrambled up, and watched her friend take another blow on the shiled, which snapped, and let the Thalmer's sword cut into his armor. The boy actually yelled in pain. His bar was at half. "N-n-n-!" Staggering towards the swordsman engaged against Sam, Kitty tripped face forward.
Looking back, their leader had her ankle, axe raised to cleave her leg. His helmet was off, and a great deal of blood was pouring from his blonde hair into his lime colored eyes. Pulling a foot back, she slammed it into his face, and she watched his health bar flicker danger close to 0.
Clawing at the dirt, she went sprinting at the Thalmer who was chopping at Sam's sword with a vengeance.
Body slamming the Elf, Kitty jumped up, and brought the Elf with her. Grabbing his head, and back strap, she pulled back, and swung forward for all she was worth, launching the Elf into the closest tree line. He screamed, hitting a tree limb. Kitty nodded, seeing his bar flickered with the sign, unconscious above it.
Turning, she gasped as a sword was hurtling toward her eye. Spinning slightly, she dodged, grabbed the blade with her armored hand, and clutched her opponent's body. Yanking forward with him behind her, Kitty brought the older man over her back, and crunching painfully to the floor at her feet. His health bar finally hit 0.
Falling to her knees, Kitty sobbed aloud, realizing what she had done. "I just killed him!" Slapping her hands over her face, Kitty let her tears stream down her cheeks. "What the hell is wrong with me!?"
Her neck tensed as Sam came close. Lowering her hands slightly, she looked back.
"It was for a just cause. They attacked us with intent to kill." Sam knelt beside her, groaning.
Clouds had blocked out the moon, and Kitty felt the first drops of rain hit her hard.
