Excerpt From Episode Episode 52 - Coming Tuesday!
...the Wondercolts had found the Boss chamber. They entered to engage in a quick skirmish to see what they were up against. There were three giant skeletons standing a good 30 feet tall, blocking their way. They were quick and strong, and they kept the Wondercolts out, keeping the identity of the boss hidden.
Instead of AFCK baking, Bladescape was taking them to the best cheesecake restaurant in the game. She wanted AFCK to have a break as well after everything that had happened over the week. Plus, they had plenty of spare Col.
As they got entered the restaurant, there a was excited, squeakingish sound like some bird squawking.
"Doombunny!" a voice called out from the other side of the room. "Colorra!"
"Silica! Pina!" Doombunny yelled back, waving her hand vigorously as Silica waved to her with plenty of enthusiasm. Doombunny danced through the crowded restaurant on her way over to her friend as quick as she could. Pina was perched on Silica's shoulders. She was a feathered blue dragon.
"Dragon Master and Snake Charmer, friends for life!" They both said together before hugging. Colorra nicely rubbed her head on Pina's in a greeting of carnivore familiars.
Doombunny introduced everyone. The two beast tamers hung out decently often over the past month or so. Mishe was where Silica often stayed. She found the city comforting and the cheesecake was a good reason to stay.
"We don't want to bother you," Bladescape said.
"Oh, it's not bother," Silica happily smiled. "I only just ordered for myself. It gets lonely eating alone. Even if I only have one other person, that is kind of nice." Silica's cheeks had slowly gotten redder as she admitted to the fact.
"In that case," Bladescape grinned. "They we would love to buy you dinner and dessert because the cheesecake is so good here."
"I know, I took Kirito here after he rescued in the Forrest of Wondering a few."
"Kirito rescued you?" Diemond asked, intrigued to find out more about the Black Swordsman. Other than the cold and aloof Kirito they all knew.
"Well, he had something else he was doing, but long story short, he saved me and helped me out of the forest, and then helped me get Pina back because she died protecting me in the forest. I couldn't have done it myself. Pina is here today because of him."
"You are not in a guild," Bladescape said as she sat down and the others pulled tables together. "Someone with your energy and enthusiasm would fit well in plenty of guilds."
"No," Silica sighed. "I go from party to party. Pina has healing abilities. I've not found anything solid. And I'm not anywhere near where you guys are. I would not last a day on the front lines, even if I had the levels. I have heard enough from Doom to know that. I have a hard enough time in a lot of the dungeons down here."
"Well at least tell us how you met Pina," Bladescape said, shifting to a happier topic.
It was a sweet story and it reminded Bladescape of Doombunny fearlessly going up to Colorra and offering her what she wanted. They hung out and chatter more into the night before they bid their farewells.
