(pov:Alice)

(Yes the character view will change only by chapter to give the read a different person to follow and see who they like more.)

Alston and I have least so far it has been only two months and We seem to be getting some where we have made it to floor 21 but stuck on this one boss for some assault team have failed to beat the boss.

Alston had gotten new armor and sword, His armor was a red coat with a long back and it buttons to end of his stomach so he can walk with it on and he own the two a cursed fanged sword's the red fang of darkness and the black fang of fire but only use one for battle.

We had joined a group of scouts as the heavy hitter to beat him but I'm more there to support Alston with my beast a pink phoenix he name was Tara after his sister, she gives Alston health when he needs it and a speed boost to me to defend him as well but I am the one get mostly defended.

"Alice what wrong you have been starting off for almost two hours?" Alston asked.

"Nothing i was only think about my mother, father, and brother is all." I didn't want him to worry about me much he needs to focus on the boss and not on me.

"Okay but don't get hurt okay i still want you to be safe no matter what okay." He said stopping the group in the middle of the dungeon.

"Yes sir I will be as safe as I can be." I said Putting my hand on my head like i was saluting him.

He looked at me and said. "your silly stay by my side okay so i can protect you and get you back to the real world alive." he was smiling and it was reliving that he was.

We keep on moving until we found the boss room. "Take a vote fight or flight." Alston said. He was the only one who was missing life because he was the only one fight. The other tried to keep their life up. "I vote fight."

"Tara restore his life please and i vote fight." Tare flew over and healed him and came back to my side. Everyone open the voted fight. we opened the door and went in but we didn't find the boss till it landed in front of all of us. It was a black dragon it was giant but it was fast.

"attack spade charged and take the rare item for ourselves." one of the solider's said pushing Alston to the ground.

"No don't!" He yelled. It was to late and the boss swung and killed all of them in a single shoot. "Damn he is strong." He said angered.

I looked at the dragon and it roared and it hurt my ears. Then Alston tackled me before the dragon hit me. "Keep calm we can win." I said. We both charged the dragon and tried to dual strike it but it bite on to my leg and throw me into the air, then slammed his claw into my chest sending my flying across the stage. My life started to fall and it didn't stop i though i was goner but it stopped just in time. my vision went into the dying phase and i could not move.

Alston ran over and used a heal crystal on me and then helped me up. "Alice go back to the town." Alston said.

"No i am not going to leave you." I said.

"Damn it Just go you are holding me back." Those words struck into me like a knife. i couldn't stay here so i used a teleport crystal and left.

When i got back to the town i tried to walk but started to fall. Then Kirito caught me and asked. "Where is Alston?"

"He wanted me to leave the boss fight because he was being held back by me." I said.

"He said that to get you to leave so he could try to protect you." Kirito said.

I realized he knew how to push my buttons and knew how to get me to leave. "we have to go back and get him." I said. He picked me and ran to the boss room. We made it there in a few minutes and Alston life started to fall greatly. "quickly he is taking heavy damage." I said.

When we got to the door Alston's life had stopped here the end. Kirito let me down and he drew his sword and we both opened the door and the boss was defeated an Alston was standing there with his red cursed fang in his hand, and the other black cursed fang on the ground, He fell to one knee and looked I really bad shape. "Alston are you okay?" I asked

"I'm fine why are you here I told you to go back to the town." He said. He tried to get up but fell to one knee.

Kirito helped him up and we all went to floor 22 alston had us stop for a second and said. "Alice i want you to have this it a sword." He opened his menu and sent me an item called love's crest it had a descriuption on it.

"A man will give this sword to the girl he would like to spend the rest of his life with and protect her, the sword will changed to match the user skill to aid them as will." I think he was asking me to marry him but I was not for sure.

"Alston what dose this mean?" I asked.

He looked at me and said. "I want you to stay with me not as my girlfriend but as my wife." He said. I was shocked he asked me that question but I was beyond happy.

"Yes Alston I will marry you." I said. I took him and gave him a big hug.
