Casey and Raelene
A bright green lush environment with waterfalls cascading on different levels at random area blotting the landscape. Ponds with lily pads the sizes of small boats. An array of frog species and bird species of the most exotic kind. There were frogs with more than four legs. Some had two heads, but most of them seemed without level. The larger frogs had levels but were generally very low. The lily pads were able to support the larger species, which was almost as large as Radley. The one thing that did bother him was the wyverns. They were at a relatively high level ranging between. Radley noticed that some of the brighter frog species were toxic and considered harvesting there toxins, but wasn't too sure about how they would affect his hunts.
Lili pads were covered in all sorts of colorful flowers. The waters were crystal clear with reeds spanning the outer edges. Smaller rivers ran out of them in a different direction from the ponds forming new waterfalls. A surreal utopia, heck, he could even see some pterodactyls. If it wasn't for the constant drizzle it would have been perfect, except he needed to watch the wyverns.
Radley watched as Blobby played with the frogs croaking and hopping away.
He was busy climbing up a hill towards a cliff when he heard some voices. Curiosity got the better of him, and both he and Blobby approached the direction of the noise in a crawl and peered over the hill.
Radley went bright red in the face. There were two girls standing in the waterfall, without any attire. They were naked, naked! He wasn't a pervert as he quickly backed away. He held his chest. Sometimes he thinks he was too innocent for his own good.
"Hey, you!"
Radley nearly got a heart attack as he turned to see where the voice was coming from. One of the girls was standing in front of him. She was still naked, and replied, "You like what you see?"
Radley quickly closed his eyes and covered his eyes with his hands, "No! Please put on some clothes! I swear on my life I just accidentally stumbled on you!"
She raised an eyebrow, "Well aren't you an unusually pure individual. The name is Casey, what's yours?"
Alarm bells went off in his head. People don't approach people in the wild. It was a dangerous precedent. He removed his axe from his back and immediately went in a defensive posture. He scanned the girl. Lv.12, Casey, friendly nature. Blobby spikes also went orient.
She raised her hands defensively, "Whoa, relax. I ain't here to fight, only to interrogate."
"Rule one of the wild. Never trust a person that comes up to you in the wild, and please, put on some clothes, do you always do this to every random guy you meet?"
"Don't bother, I ain't into dudes."
"So lesbian? That still doesn't explain why you are naked. It's inappropriate, please, for the love of god. Put something on!"
She sighed, "…No, maybe I want you to see me naked."
"Okay…that's just creepy I am leaving now."
"Not until you answered my question. What are you doing here? And you never did give me your name."
"I am on my way to a town and the road just took me through here."
"You do know there is an easier way. It called, walking around the big waterfalls."
Stupid Diff system. It made him use the difficult road.
"What's it matter which road I take?"
"Because this is a really dangerous place."
"It looks rather utopian to me."
"So they say, but I do think you have noticed the wyverns in the sky, right? There is also little cover here, and Wyverns just loves an easy meal."
"I'll take my chances."
"Wait, I think I know you. Yeah, you have an uncanny resemblance, though I nearly didn't recognize you with your new attire. You're the loner, aren't you?"
What the hell!? Were they at the competition? He wanted to throw them off so he feigned ignorance, "I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about."
"Man, we just love the live streams of the level one competitions. It gets the people all revved up. I am impressed that you made it this far. Loner."
"I ain't a level one. I am a level two, so you definitely have me confused with somebody else."
He turned to walk away but got an unexpected cut on a naked part of his flesh. He swung his axe backward in order to defend himself. It was the other girl. Raelene, Lv.12, Cautious nature. She was busy smelling his blood, and easily evaded his axe, "Yip, he is a level two. Are you his twin brother? I have a photographic memory. So, either you are his twin brother or you recently leveled up."
"What does it matter?"
Casey in the back chimed up, "It does, primarily due to the fact that it means you either die right here and now or, we let you go."
He sighed and closed his eyes. He should have never should have participated in that competition.
"I didn't do it for popularity or anything. I just needed the money. Satisfied?"
"Don't you have a sponsor?"
"No, I ain't as lucky as you silver spooners."
"Spooners he says. You're gifted, that was why there was a protection order placed on you."
Radley wasn't impressed, "How would anyone know? Just leave me be."
"Sorry, can't do that."
"Why?"
"Future council candidates are held in high regard. The entire competition system is aimed to look for possible magistrate candidates, but you outright schooled the competition at level one. As a result, you were marked for possible future Council members."
"I am not interested in politics, having status or even a name. That is your systems, it has nothing to do with me. I bid you adieu."
The two girls noticed the creature and Raelene tired attacking the creature but Radley did a roundhouse kick towards her wrist to divert the attack, "What are you doing, woman?"
"I could ask you the same thing."
"I am protecting my assets."
"It's a beast."
"No shit, Sherlock."
"You can't tame the beasts of this wildland."
"As you can see this little guy is a bit unique. Call it imprinting. I rather have this little guy protecting my ass than a human."
"That's a dangerous sentiment, you willing to go up against us both."
"I will show you the power of one that won a competition. I do not care if you kill me, but at least I will make sure he gets away. Casey, for the last time. Please put on some clothes."
