Author's Note: Hey guys! This is just my little story. It's about everyone's lives after SAO and ALfheim changed (for better or for worse.) I hope you enjoy the intro!
Kazuto was wandering through the forest. His long trench coat waved in the wind; it's grey lining glinting in the sunlight. The sun above was boiling hot, glaring down at him.
"Are we there yet...?" Mumbled Asuna. She wore a red-and-white t-shirt and shorts, her chestnut brown her waving from side to side as she trudged along.
"Well, you try finding this place!" He grumbled. "It's like finding a lake in a forest."
"Kazuto-kun, that's exactly what it is."
"Oh... Yeah..." He grinned at her, his onyx eyes flashing in the morning sun.
"Well, come on! We can't be late for the party!" She giggled happily and charged down the elevated wooden path.
"Wait up!" He cried, trying to keep up as she ran. He wasn't as fast as he was in SAO, or ALfheim... But he'd be damned if she beat him there. The lake quickly came in to view, the surface glittering in the sun. The tents had been set up at the South-side lake, flapping in the breeze.
He stopped at the top of the small slope and looked across the clearing - it was large, with oak trees surrounding it. The lake took up almost all of it, but around it's perimeter were luscious areas of grass and flowers. He saw the tents and grinned as Asuna raced down the slope. The stage was set up, and on it sat Agil and Klein. Finally, they were away from the Dicey Café long enough to enjoy themselves.
"Let's hope this lasts," Kazuto said as he gave the sun a smile, then raced down the slope after Asuna, his coat billowing out behind him.
Author's Note: This is just the intro (381 words :)) so if you want more, please write one review! I don't mind if it's positive (though I sure hope it will be ;)) or negative (provided that it's constructive criticism). The first chapter should be anywhere between 1000 to 4000 words. I await your feedback eagerly!
