"When everything changed" (xhecate)
Slowly walking down a small dirt path of a dense forest in Floor 53, a small sigh parted from the lips of a swordsman. While the boy had plans to do a bit of leveling to finally max his <<Dual Blades>> skill, a message sent by the <<Info House>> and his friend, Argo, caused said plans to be altered. Kirito didn't question why Argo wanted him to go by the dungeon, but he didn't particularly care. Once he'd finally reached his destination, dull steel optics scanned the area. <<The Rat>> was nowhere to be found, but a faint sound caught his attention. It was undoubtedly the sound of weapons clashing. Turning towards that general direction, the raven began to walk towards the source.
By the time the swordsman arrived at the origin of the noise, thousands of blue polygons scattered through the air. Staring blankly at them, the black haired boy's head slowly looked down, optics aimed at the sword wielder in front of him. Female, same one handed long sword as his known as <<Queen's Knightsword>>, a dagger hooked to her waist, short hair that was dyed a cerulean blue, and dull brown eyes. With arms crossed, the male continued to observe the girl, watching her fend off the last few mobs around her. Soon though all the monsters had been reduced to polygons.
Though right as she turned her back, a wolf-type mob leaped out from the bushes from behind her, lunging towards her. Right before it had reached the female, it suddenly exploded into blue polygons. Standing there was the boy in black, silver blade drawn. Once his eyes locked with the other person, he simply sheathed the sword, not saying a word.
