She was in a forest. Solo glanced around her new surrounding; it was nothing like the other places she came across before. Surrounded by lush green trees, Solo felt, strangely calm and soothed by the atmosphere. Staring at the bright green grass beneath her feet, it seemingly has a hypnotic effect on her. Having forgotten what had happened minutes ago, she wondered incredulously, " How could such a place exist in The World, it was never mentioned in the BBS or any guidebooks."

" Hey, Eilathen, where are we?"

She received no reply, since her mysterious guardian was already not there. As though he had vanished into thin air, in a blink of the eye, as quickly and abrupt as he first appeared.

" Eilathen?!" She whipped around herself in circles, running and crying out frantically. A rush of fear and anxiety flooded her, in the foreign place. " Eilathen! Where are you?!" Solo shouted repeatedly, getting more worried as each minute passed by.

Solo…

" Eilathen? Is that you?" Like a lost child, Solo ran in the direction of the gentle whisper that speaks of her name. Her steps halted to a sudden stop. What is a bed doing in the middle of the forest?

"Heck, what's this!?!?" Ryna quickly jumped away from the creature which just appeared from the dart. Confusion reflected in her eyes. 'How can that dart do anything like this-' a hit was sent towards her as she dodged it at the last second. The crowd behind her immediately scattered after recovering from their shock. Some people were screaming behind her, escaping from the place, either they gated to the other town or they logged out.

"Man, this is chaos- what the- whoaaaa," she was strike back by the creature which sent her flying straight to a wall with a loud clash. Standing back up, she took her blade from her back and made a defensive manner. After she had successfully evaded the next attack, she dashed to the creature's back and slashed at it hard.

Her eyes widened, her attack did not inflict any damage to the creature. She tried again, slashing at the creature in whichever way she could, like a mad man swinging a sword. All her attempts were useless. The creature turned around, its arms swung together with it.

"Ahhh!!!" Ryna cried. She was 'slapped' by its broad, gigantic arms. The swing from that indestructible creature was strong. "Should have known. A bastard creature from a jerk!" Ryna forced out the words while she had a healing herself. It was getting difficult now. Her attacks were still useless against the creature. Her healings were finishing. She quickly turned and ran from the creature.

'How can a player do this? How did he transform a dart into a creature? And that bastard actually stopped me from- wait a minute. I didn't remember seeing his character before.' She was so much in her thoughts that she did not discover that she had run to a dead end. She quickly braked herself just inches before she hit the wall. Turning around, she saw that idiotic creature approaching. She scanned the place around her. There was no place to go and the only way to go was the way where she had came from which was where the creature was approaching from. She panicked; her heart was thumping fast against her chest.

'Oh no, this is the end,' she thought as she shielded her face with her arms crossed in front of her face when a blow was sent to her. 'This is it, this is it,' she kept repeating it to herself. Suddenly, something glittered in front of her face. She looked up. The bracelet! The bracelet was shining brightly.

Without delay, an idea sprung up in her mind. She quickly dived out of the way and the creature was stuck to the wall when its arms went too deep, it was hard to pull them out. As fast as possible, she went back to her feet and thrust her arm with the bracelet in front of her towards the stuck creature.

*Data Drain*

The effect was terrific. It was as if a magical shield on the once-invincible creature was peeled away. But Ryna did not lost herself in the magnificent performance by the bracelet. Without wasting anymore time, she dashed towards the creature and gave it a strong slash with a few combos. Finally after so much sweat, she defeated the so-called invincible creature, ok, it WAS an invincible one but that was before Ryna used her bracelet.

She fell to the ground, panting. Her blade lying beside her. After a few moments, she climbed back to her feet. She swung her blade and returned it to its holder that was strapped to her back. Wiping her sweat, she scanned the area. The wall in front of her had a large hole in which the creature's arms were stuck. She shivered at it. If she had not found out about the bracelet, it might be her having that hole!

"Now, where did that jerk went off to?" she said, walking in the direction of the Chaos Gate. In her mind, there was only one thing. Solo.
