Chapter 9 — First of sub labyrinth
Perspective — Diko
Lady of the Lake lobby
... It's rather clear whatever down there is very dangerous. Maybe we should ask that guard what it can possibly be.
Diko: Let's go back to the base camp. Everyone all rest up?
Lacia: Wait why are we going back?
Bile: Gather information about the next floor in the labyrinth most likely.
Diko: That's the plan. Let's move!
Base Camp
Hm? What's with all those soldier in a corner of the camp.
Soldier: Damn that infernal beast...
Soldier: It won't get away with this!
What's with the commotion? Hey, Oliver and Marco are here.
Lacia: Hi you two, is that soldier safe?
Oliver: How's our friend doing? Thankfully, he's fine...
Lacia: That's good.
Oliver: Can't say the same for his pals, though.
Lacia: Oh...
That sucks
Marco: Apparently, his unit was attacked by an ursine monster with blood-red fur.
He looks real tense right now.
Oliver: We've already put a word out to HQ. I think they just posted a mission to slay it, so you might want to check in with them for details.
Marco: I'd advise against heading to the deeper levels of the labyrinth for the time being. It's rather dangerous down there..
Oliver: I know! Why don't you check out that Small Orchard They just found!?
Marco: Yes, that's a fair point... If you want to build your strength, it might be worth visiting.
Oliver: Well, we'll be leaving now, good luck!
Well then... Either we return to the HQ or enter this new labyrinth.
Bile: What you all think?
Rolio: Perhaps we go to the Small Orchard?
Bile: Wow didn't that answer from you. I thought you would go back into the Lush Woodland guns blazing.
Rolio: Shut it.
Lacia: Well, I think we should go there as well.
Diko: Neigal?
Neigal: I don't have any objection.
Diko: Let's move then.
Small Orchard
This place look like the Lush Woodlands.
Rolio: This place looks similar to the other place.
Lacia: Yeah.
Bile: Anyway, let's see what's inside.
Diko: Wait, there's some soldier ahead.
Bile: They seem to be Tharsis soldiers.
Rolio: How would you know?
Bile: Well it's just a guess. Anyway, let's ask them about what's in this place.
Soldier: Hm? Do you have business in this labyrinth too?
He seem rather relax despite the fact that this place is a labyrinth.
Diko: Is there anything we should know about this place?
Soldier: The worst this place has are a few weak fawns, so this'll be a breeze. We'll finish up quick and hit the bar!
And then they just go further in.
Bile: Honestly, I doubt that's all there is to it.
Diko: Well, let's go.
Perspective — Narrator
The party then go further into this small labyrinth. Finding the fawns that the soldier talked about. And kill it easily.
Bile: Hmm...
Diko: What is it Bile?
Bile: Well, here's the thing. I have heard about these fawns before, from what I know there should be a deer as well.
Rolio: So the parent of these fawns.
Bile: Right, I don't really think we should hunt these thing down, the big one might comes at us with a vengeance.
Diko: How bad can it be?
Bile: It's a FOE.
The party immediately tense up.
Diko: Alright, let's stop hunting them.
They then hear the scream of multiple soldier.
Lacia: Wha- What was that?
Bile: Seem like its here.
Diko: Oh no...
Bile: Just don't make any sound and quietly leave.
They slowly but surely make their out of the labyrinth, but not before finding many corpses along the way.
Lacia: Eeek!
Bile: Shush!
Rolio: This is disturbing.
Neigal: No...
Diko: What a horrifying sight.
Bile: With those hoof mark, clearly it's a work of that thing. Let's just leave. The fact that a large group of soldier fall to this thing just show how strong these FOEs are.
Rolio: Lacia, you can hold on to me if you are feeling sick.
Lacia: N-No, I'm fine.
They manage to successfully leave the mini labyrinth.
Diko: Phew! I'd say that was successful, manage to get some material and avoid death.
Lacia: Let's go back to Maginia, I want to take a break after that.
Bile: Yeah, let's go back, it's time for lunch break anyway.
After they go back, they sell some material, get some new equipment and go for a lunch break, what they planned to do next is to tackle the new mission.
