It didn't take Leefa to reach the coordinates she had given Lostone. He, on the other hand took quite a while by Leefa's estimation. Well, it probably wasn't as long as it felt and a quick look at the online clock proved that to be true, but impatience to get started was tinging anything that delayed her looking. And besides, it wasn't a fair thing to fault him for. The difference in their flying speed made it impossible for him to reach her even if he had a head start.

She sat on the ground, conserving how wings so she would be fresh when they started. She wanted to be off as soon as Lostone got there. She sat right on the border of the farthest from the world tree Lillith could theoretically reach. She was going to go north along that line while Lostone would go south.

She knew the odds were impossible, but again that feeling wouldn't of destiny hadn't wavered in the least. She would find her, and she would kill her. The powers of an Alf were within her reach.

Finally, she saw the mechanical wings of a leprechaun come into sight and knew Lostone had arrived.

Not waiting for him to land she flew up to meet him. As soon as she was reasonably close enough that he could hear her she yelled, "You go south, I'm going north. Stay about this distance from the world tree and circle it." Before he could even answer she shot off in her chosen direction, the game even adding the graphic of a cloud at her feet where she started to indicate the speed.

Nothing would stop her. Putting Lostone out of her mind she paid attention to the ground and the sky. She gave areas already being searched by other players. Let them do the work. If they found her the commotion would be impossible not to notice.

She also passed by any areas with any NPC's. If there weren't any players there now, there would be. This helped eliminate about half the areas she would normally have to search.

This fight would also not take place in a safe zone, and by necessity by the scale of the fight it would have to be isolated to give them the space to fight.

She was also banking on the idea that the admins wouldn't make it hard to spot her when you got close. At least she hoped so. It was the only other way to speed up the search.

Scanning both the sky and the land, and taking the time to do the same to the floating islands, she made good progress.

A gnome took the time to stop her, flying directly into her path and risking being knocked over, maybe even killed.

"Hey, you find any clues about where Lillith is?" He asked breathlessly.

Impatiently she replied, "If I have why do you think I'd tell a friend, let alone a stranger?" and without giving him a chance to say anything else she flew around him at top speed and left him with a dropped jaw.

He wasn't the only one to interupt the search. After the third one she started taking out her sword in a flourish to let them know she wasn't in the mood to talk. Most backed off, a few drew their own swords, which she out meneuvered to their own deaths. But after two of her own deaths she realized the tactic was only costing her more time than to answer and leave.

It was beyond annoying though. They were wasting both of their times for questions that any intelligent person would never answer.

Of course there were also monsters that she had to either outfly or fight that also slowed her down. At least none of them were strong enough to kill her.

Delays, delays, delays. She had an elevation to obtain. She didn't have the luxury of taking the time for them. Those enemies she faught at least allowed her to vent some of the building frustration.

First an hour passed, then two. She didn't care. It was the weekend, and she'd started early after the failure of the tournement the previous night. She had all day.

Before she realized it she was reminded of how long she'd been on when a warning popped up with a health warning about her bladder. Forced to log out, she thought it was the fastest pit stop in history to get back on.

She logged on just in time to see a fire giant's spout of flame consume her. Back at another revive site she sighed and flew back to where she died. Yet more delays. She vented her anger by pulling Lambant Shadow from her inventory and made quick work slicing the giant in half.

Nodding with satisfaction she simultaniously put the sword back into her inventory as she launched herself back into her search.

Grangar stood in shock. Who was that player? He'd been sitting in hiding hoping not to be noticed by the fire giant when from nowhere a player defeated it in a single strike.

Who the hell was she? For the life of him he'd never heard of a player that strong, and anyone that strong had to be well known. They didn't just pop up out of nowhere. Well apparently someone had.

He pulled up his console quickly. Someone had to have heard of her though. Pulling up the game's message boards and found the player's topic. As swift as his fingers would go he typed out his question, giving a detailed play-by-play of the fight.

A half-hour later he looked at the replies and wasn't surprised to see replies mocking him, saying he was exaggerating the fight in one way or another. It simply wasn't possible. He'd seen her take out something weaker, or it was a full raid and he was too busy checking out the blonde to notice the rest. There were other explanations, but most just laughed at him.

Assholes.

He'd seen something wondrous and it was only a matter of time before he was vindicated as her legend grew.
