《The Adventures of the Mask Maker》The Tragedy
Advertisement
With the trap in place and about to activate, I decided to head over to Delta Town to both avoid the explosion once the trap starts and to check up on the status of the Delta Town. I heard that half of the town has been leveled due to some people's *cough* Reachii *cough* lack of restraint. I hopped on Blackie and we flew over to Delta Town. Even from far away, I can see the smoke and the essences of Death fluttering in the skies. I urged Blackie to travel faster. Last I recalled, Princess Emelelyn evacuated to Delta Town. Uh...no...before you think elsewhere, I'm not worried about her...I just think that since she's a valuable ally and we, the adventurers, should worry for her safety.
Anyways, we quickly reached Delta Town. Upon landing, I could finally clearly see the exact destruction...the exact status of the town. I hopped off of Blackie and quickly asked around for Princess Emelelyn's whereabouts. After asking a few people, I found out...unfortunately...that Princess Emelelyn was injured and hospitalized. I hurried over to the medical tent and couldn't help overhearing the screams of anguish...particularly that of Princess Emelelyn's screams.
Preparing for the worst, I lifted up the flap of the entrance of the tent and walked inside. There...squirming on a bed...was Princess Emelelyn. Her body was a mess. She was covered with burns and melted flesh. Her limbs were all broken...or as the healers described...shattered. From the reports of the healers...she will never be able to move those limbs again. Her face was melted off leaving a skull-like appearance. It was a tragedy.
Princess Emelelyn was screaming in pain and sorrow. She had just seen what have become of her and...the trauma is too overbearing. I reach towards the princess and grabbed her hand...or what's left of it and tried to comfort her and calm her down...saying stuff like how we can heal her and let her regain her original appearance. After some comforting, she calmed down...her eyes blank. I don't know if my comforting got through to her or if she just gave up but at the very least, she was calm. Otherwise, with all that thrashing, who knows what further injuries could occur.

I pulled out my mask - Mask of the Sleepy Knight - and had Shiyo cast Absolute Sleep on her so that she could at least sleep peacefully for thirty minutes. While the princess was sleeping, I dragged a healer to the side and asked about her situation. The healer says the situation is slim...and that there is less than 1% chance of restoring her appearance. Suddenly, a slight stirring sound shocked me as I turn my head to the princess sleeping on the bed...could she have heard this? Impossible! She should be asleep from the Absolute Sleep spell...unless Napknight did a shitty job again. Fearing the consequences, I ordered the healer to not mention the low success chance to Princess Emelelyn. Once I got the healer's agreement, I left the tent.
Whew...how am I supposed to notify King Thorhil of this unfortunate occurrence? Maybe Shadow should do it...after all, he's a staff member...yea....

A Beginner's Guide to Napping, Sunbathing, and Slaughtering Your Prey
Fang is a simple cat. Fang likes napping in the sun. Fang does not like being called Chairman Meow. Fang likes his belly being scratched for precisely 17.329 seconds. Fang does not like being punted between dimensions. Fang likes hunting and killing defenseless wildlife. Fang does not like mysterious blue boxes that appear out of thin air. Fang is having a Very Bad Day. A few things to note: Fang is a cat soul in a cat body, and that's not going to change any time soon. No cat girl evolution or possessed puppet or any of that. The slice of life tag is there for a reason. There is no epic tale here, only a cat doing cat things in a (hopefully) interesting setting. The game elements are pretty light, mostly there for flavor, so don't expect a huge amount of crunch. Nature is cruel, and cats are crueler than most.
