Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sigma Void

With the last hobgoblin taken out by Ayleen, Sigma smiled a bit as she walked over to him, concern in her voice as she asked if he was alright. Giving the arrow a quick pull, it cleanly came out of the wound and Sigma tossed it to the side as he gave a small nod "Yeah, I'm fine. Gonna take more than that to take me down." he chuckled lightly. "What about you, you good?" he asked curiously, giving her a quick look over. Sigma had a quick out of battle regeneration so he never really worried much about post-fight treatment when it came to himself. Besides..... he was just a program, he'd just respawn over in Reposhire, players on the other hand, one life, no respawn. It was his job to protect as many of them as he could, so treatment of players always came first.

Sigma Void

Sigma smiled a bit as Ayleen used a crystal to heal him, she was so kind and caring. When I find Loren, he's going to have a lot of questions to answer to. Sigma thought to himself. Ayleen thought he was dead, so why was he avoiding her, that's just mean! Sigma pushed the thoughts from his head, figuring he would deal with it later. With his wound healed, Ayleen took a step back, Sigma smiled warmly at her "Thanks, let's keep moving. We should reach the first rest zone by nightfall." Sigma stated, letting his hand rest casually on the hilt of his sword as the two continued further into the dungeon.

(we can time jump if you want)

Sigma Void

Giving a nod as Ayleen mentioned getting to the first resting area before nightfall, Sigma smiled a bit glad that he had decided to join her on the quest. Sure, it was hard and would take some time, but Ayleen was so kind, plus it was his job to protect the players. Wait.... is that the only reason I'm doing this?.... because my programming told me to....come on Sigma, now's not the time. he thought to himself as the two continued through the dungeon.

----------------------

Entering the first resting zone in the dungeon, Sigma let out a small sigh of relief as he stretched his arms up over his head. It didn't take long for the two of them to get a campsite set up and a bit later Ayleen mentioned how it was good they made food earlier. Sigma gave a nod as he joined her by the fire "Yeah, so what are you in the mood for?" he asked flicking through his inventory. Not many players really even tried to go for the sword, even less of them were able to pull it. Last time Sigma had checked the logs only four players had managed to get it, and he'd been with all of them through the dungeon. But Ayleen's chances seemed pretty high for being able to acquire the blade. "We got some pretty good loot today." Sigma smiled glad that their mission was going well so far.

Sigma Void

As Ayleen stated that any food would be fine, Sigma puled out some from his inventory and put it onto two plates, holding one out to Ayleen. Hearing her comment about it not meaning anything if she didn't get the sword, Sigma let out a small sigh. "Whether you get the sword or not is up to the game, though if you ask me, I think you have a pretty high chance." Sigma stated hoping to get Ayleen to relax a bit. "Even if you don't get the sword, you can become stronger in other ways. So don't worry about it to much, it's out of our hands." he continued. Technically, Sigma could override the game's decision on the sword, but he tended to just let the game's decision be final.

Sigma Void

Sigma listened closely as Ayleen told him what her plans were for the sword. To leave it at the grave of her supposedly dead companion. The knowledge of Loren actually made Sigma a bit upset, Ayleen was so depressed over the loss that in order to help end her grief she was willing to take on one of the hardest dungeons in the game, though he remained calm. "I see. Well I hope that you are able to lay your grief at rest soon then." Sigma spoke. "If you don't mind me asking. Where's your home at?" Sigma asked curiously. There were many places in the game where a player or group of players could purchase a home or a building such as a guild hall. Although he had mentioned to Ayleen that Torrine was the closest town once they exited the dungeon, he hoped that she would stay there long enough to get her to find Loren.

Sigma Void

Sigma smiled a bit as Ayleen stated that he would get along with Loren "He sounds like a great guy." he spoke though internally his mind was raking up questions. If he was so nice, why did he abandon Ayleen? He pushed the thoughts aside, he'd get his answers once they reached Torrine. "Coral, huh. Lovely area. I've been a few times, it's a good place to relax." he spoke warmly. Finishing his food, Sigma stretched his arms behind his head for a moment. "We had better get some rest." he spoke before pulling the orb from earlier out of his inventory and setting it up to keep watch. He knew that monsters weren't allowed in the safe zones and in a hard dungeon such as this one it was rare to find a PKer. Regardless, he figured that it would help Ayleen to relax some and honestly, it was a bit of a habit.

Sigma Void

Sigma smirked a bit as Ayleen stated that it got lonely being there by herself "Well, then maybe I'll have to visit you sometime." he smiled. If she didn't mind, he would definitly like to visit her every now and again..... so he could check on her health of course.......plus, he honestly liked being around her. As the two finished their meals and got settled in for the night. As Ayleen went to sleep, Sigma decided to stay up for a bit longer, opening up his terminal once he was sure Ayleen was asleep. They had made good progress through the dungeon, and it wouldn't be to far now till they got the the sword. Running through the logs of the dungeon, Sigma made mental notes of places that they should probably avoid and the best routes that they could take. After a while, he closed out of the terminal screen and cast a glance over at Ayleen before crawling into his own makeshift bed.

~~~~~~~~

As morning rolled around, Sigma woke to the sound of Ayleen but decided to stay down for a bit so he could quickly run through his mental notes again. A couple minutes later, Sigma got up and gave a little stretch before starting to put the stuff they no longer needed back into inventory along with the guard he had set up. "Morning, hope you slept well." he smiled looking over at Ayleen. "So breakfast, most important meal of the day. What are you feeling?" he chimed.

Sigma Void

Sigma smiled a bit as Ayleen mentioned doing more missions with him, he loved the idea but Dean's words rang in the back of his head. It was risky for him to be with a player for to long, what if they learned about him being an AI, would they report him? He'd gotten this far with few issues, so long as he didn't player kill or mess to much with the code, he seemed able to fly under the admin's radars for the most part. "Well, always glad to be of assistance." he smiled looking over to Ayleen. As she asked him what he had, Sigma flicked through his inventory for a bit, a tiny part of the corner of the screen glitching out for a split second, Sigma ignoring it in hopes that Ayleen didn't see it and if she did then she may think she was seeing something due to the low light. Frigging Dungeon Sigma mentally cursed. Pulling out food and getting it set onto plates, Sigma held one out for Ayleen, a smile on his face "Here we go. Omelettes and a biscuit." he chimed.
