Spirit

A Chapter by Yui Tarsis

Spirit Kayako's her name. During her graduation, she chose to be a Fighter, and was hand-picked to be a Black Mage.

Spirit

  I jump in a perfect arc, landing right behind the monster, and burn it alive without even looking back. Hard times like these called for no mercy. All mine had been worn far too thin a while ago. 

  The weapon I held at my side was a simple gray staff, with a handle consisting of a split down the middle and the end having a similar split, the two opposing ends twirling around each other and slowly thinning, yet never touching. They exposed into an orb, which was a sphere while I wasn't using the staff, a star when I attacked, and a cube when I used defensive or supportive magic.

  I walked on as the sun set on my side, either scalding, smiting, or just simply melting every enemy I came across. I'd been doing this a while, so I was experienced enough to know that I should save my energy and ignore the small ones.

  A friend had asked me to do this. This might be oh-so surprising, but I didn't tend to have many friends. So the ones I did have, I was loyal to with all my being.

  It was one of my more simple quests. Kill a dragon. Even if she had inadvertently begged me to be careful, and warned me like it was an actual threat, I wasn't concerned.

  Four years on the job, and I haven't been defeated once.

  I travel alone. I don't need the help of others. I stay far, dodge, and attack hard. It's a strategy that's worked for me all this time, and I didn't very much care to change it.

  There's a growl nearby. I recognize it immediately. 

  It's a dragon. I must be getting close. Might want to be prepared for a surprise attack. I think, walking forward as if nothing in the world mattered. A clearing opens up, and I enter. In the middle of it, sits a dragon.

  It's coat was a blinding white, even during the night, and it had piercing blue eyes that seemed to stare into your soul. It might've just been me, but it seemed somehow... intelligent... But that was impossible. None of the monsters here had any half of a mind.

  After a short stare down, I chose to make the first move, holding up my staff to use a magic attack. Just as I did, it was gone. In the split second it took to make the motion, my staff had been thrown aside like garbage.

  I looked up in fear- actual fear...- realizing my mistake.

  I let my guard down.

  It held up one of it's massive hands, bringing it down at lightning speed. I only barely managed to jump out of the way, standing quickly and running straight for my staff.

  I was too slow.

  The dragon grabbed my cloak, yanking me back and throwing me like a rag doll across the clearing. I hit the unforgiving floor with a sickening cracking noise.

  The dragon looms over me, it's defeated prey.

  This is it, huh? Heh... Kara, I really should've listened to you...

  Even as I accept it, I'm scared. I knew what I signed up for, when I applied for the Fighter group, but...

  I don't want to die...

  I shut my eyes tight, and prepare for my demise.

Author's Note

Yui Tarsis
Alright! Spirit is my character, and this is where you guys can help me make the next scene! I'll wait for a little while, then if there are any ideas I'll pick the one I like the most! When giving me a character, please include a description of their personality, job, weapon, and minor details about their looks. Also, It'd really help if you could tell me how they enter the story and interact with Spirit. Keep in mind; they don't know this is a game. They think this is the real world. Only the creators of the game know it's fake. Oh yeah, and message me privately if you want something specific- *cough cough* BAD- to happen to your character.
Update for Spirit is done! I'm a lot more happy with this one!

Ah s**t creating our own characters! Time to make this a long and drawn out comment.

Name: Nymira Velkyrie
Age: 16
Class: Witch
Hair Color: Blond
Eye Color: Left eye colored Purple; Right eye colored Red
Height: 150 cm
Weight: 44 kg
Birthday: October 31st.
Character Description:
Nymira has slightly long hair which she ties into two pigtails with black lace ribbons. Round her neck is a Gothic black choke collar. She wears a black mage like robe with a hood. She has a pagan tattoo of a Satanic Pentagram burning that can be seen on her lower stomach which is only really seen if she is in her underwear or naked. Her miniskirt is a blood red plad with black lace trimming. She never wears shoes and will get angry if people try to force her to wear them.

Nymira is a mute and she carries around a stuffed plush doll named Reisys who is her only friend. She is very smart when it comes to Alchemy, and Witchcraft.

Nymira can cast magic with a grimoire which she does by using her own blood to summon whatever spells she wishes by writing runes and symbols in the pages of the grimoire.

Nymira tends to be alone and does not have friends. People tend to be afraid of her and how she looks thinking she is bad or something to that effect. She reads a lot of books and understands Biology well enough to put any person in their place.

As for how Nymira enters this story is completely up to you.

So is Nymira a shy-er person or more of a sarcastic, distant person?

Shy, and distant.

Interesting idea. and I have an idea for a character too. just working out the final points.

I like this and as a bit of a gamer myself it sounds like an Elder Scrolls game (Possibly Elder Scrolls Online ((ESO)) mixed With Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim)

I think you should tell us more about the character perhaps the see a reflection of themselves in the scales or perhaps do a memory of the Discussion with Kara so we can learn Spirits name.

At one point you have written "...I shout my energy and ignore the smaller ones" just a typo "Shout" should be "should"
Also don't stutter the "I don't want to die" unless she is saying it out loud.

I like this ill keep reading
