*Pant, Pant*


This is definitely harder than I expect, Solo thought as she watched Sierra delivered the ending blow to the now vanishing piece of data.


"Woah, Good job, Sierra". Ryna shouted as she slapped a high five with her senior who returned coldly.


Solo had been watching in admiration for the past few hours as Sierra slashed whatever that were in their way effortlessly while Ryna cheered almost everytime he did it.


"So? Solo, what do you think of him?" asked Ryna softly as she nudged her by the side.


"He's okay." Solo simply shrugged, but deep inside she was really envious and a bit jealous of Sierra.


Minutes later, she logged out. She did politely say goodbye, but she could see the question in Ryna 's eyes.


Lying on her bed, bushed at the strain that she was finally feeling after taking off her headgear, she fell asleep, slipping in her dreamland.

"Ryna, look out!" Sierra shouted.


"Huh?" Ryna snapped out of her thoughts. She spun around and was met with an axe coming down at her. She leapt away but the axe managed to slash across her arm sending a trail of data flying.


"Damn it," said Ryna grabbing her blade tightly. She then dashed forward and slashed the creature a couple of times before Sierra joined in. After a while, the creature disintegrated. Ryna sighed in relief but suddenly, Sierra was in front of her giving her a health drink.


"I have my own!" replied Ryna as she took out her own and used.


"You seem to be out just now," said Sierra angrily. "It's dangerous, don't you know that?"


"Of course I know."


"Then what are you doing just now?"


"I was just thinking."


"Whoever and whatever you are thinking, leave it until you're home. You will not be still here the next time!"


Ryna winced at Sierra's voice. 'This is just a game. There isn't a need to be so serious, is there?' thought Ryna. She drifted back to what she was thinking before. Solo seemed angry and a little sad when she said she had to go. 'Is there a reason for her to be sad or angry?' Ryna had thought but she just did not know why. She was again deeply in her thoughts that she did not realized Sierra had been calling her name.


"-na, Ryna!"


Ryna snapped out of her thoughts once again. She looked up and saw Sierra's angry face. Ryna was about to apologize when Sierra turned away.


"You can go back. I'll deal with the rest myself." Sierra simply told her that and walked away. Ryna stared at Sierra as he walked off. 'What's wrong with them two? First, it's Solo who looked quite angry and sad and now is Sierra. I think I've been giving people more problems and irritation than I know,' thought Ryna. Sighing again as she just could not think of the cause, she logged off.


Peering out from her hiding place, the young girl watched as the wavemaster left the party of three in a huff. Her grayish white hair flowing down her shoulder as she moved her attention to the heavy blade of the party that now consists of only two. Her gaze was kept firmly there till the pair separated. However, she was unaware that she was not the only one who had noticed that group. Someone else was there…
