Behind the Scenes
The tall structures on the 36th floor glistened with snow. Hawkfury and Nightshade sat on a bench together. Moon and Dwyn ran around and played in the snow. Shade and I stood together and watched. Christmas was just around the corner, leaving everyone anxious for it to come.
Four months have passed with no sight of Amadeus. Maybe we were lucky to not see him for so long. Maybe we weren't. We had some run-ins with his followers but not him. Hawkfury figured that he must be hiding.
Hawkfury maxed out his forging skill the day before. The whole guild pitched in to buy him his own forge. He was so excited to finally forge something then realized he didn't have any ore to use. We immediately went to work on trying to figure out where the best ore would be.
"Would it be here on this floor?" asked Shade.
"No. It's on the 55th floor in a dungeon guarded by a dragon," I said.
"A dragon?!" exclaimed Dwyn.
"Yes. As long as we stay away from its tail and jaws, we should be fine. But there's the issue of getting there first."
That day, we worked hard to reach the next floor. We fought hard, but the boss room eluded us until it was late in the day. We turned back to rest for the night. The next day was no different. We fought our way to where the boss room was the last day buy it wasn't there anymore. We didn't find it again until it got late, so we turned back.
"A boss room that changes places? How is that possible?" asked Dwyn.
"Yet another difference between here and the beta test," I stated, disheartened.
"We'll get to fight it," said Shade. "Don't be discouraged."
We went to the Confederacy and addressed them about the issue. A plan was devised to swiftly find the boss room and destroy the boss, advancing to the next floor. Once the plan was put into effect, the mission was completed within a half-hour. Access to floor 26 was granted.
When we arrived in the winter wonderland Dwyn and Moon immediately went running for the snow. Nightshade and Hawkfury went to sit on a bench together. Shade and I activated the teleport then stood together and watched everyone enjoy themselves. After a while we held hands.
