~~~(POV: Hailey Adamo)~~~

~~~(Location: Outside Capital City Rosalia, The Fallen Kingdom of Rosalia)~~~

~~~(Time: 8:21 AM)~~~

I look at the massive walls encompassing Rosalia and the gate separating the outside world with the Raid on Rosalia City. "I'll need some help reaching the sewage treatment plant that holds the secret path into the Palace... I didn't want to do this, but Emerald should be strong and big now..." She's been sitting in my Inventory for a while now.

I take her out when I get a chance to, and she's grown to be quite large. Speaking of taking her out, I open my Inventory and select her icon. She appears in front of me and immediately gets on her hind legs and places her front legs on my shoulders, hugging me. "I've missed you too!! Haha!!" She's already taller than I am without standing up.

From this point on, I'll be riding on the back of her. While it is slower to travel this way, it's not that much of a difference. Her speed stats are impressive on their own, and the most time I'd lose traveling large distances is an hour or two. She stops her love attack and gets back on all fours, and I look up at her. "Wow... You've gotten so big..." She gives a prideful look.

Cera said I couldn't have any help from Players, but he didn't say anything about tamed magical beasts. "We're about to take on a Raid. Just the two of us. My brother has informed me of a shortcut to the Palace once inside. You'll help me all the way to the Palace. After that, it's back into my Inventory until I'm done here." She doesn't look happy about that.

And she knows that she can get her way if she looks at me a certain way and acts a certain way. "I don't want to risk your life when fighting the Raid boss. I hope that you understand that. When I'm done with this Raid, I'll be having you carry me to the next place I need to go." Emerald rolls her eyes and releases a sigh. Agreeing to the plan.

Ever since NPCs could become Players, things have changed. I don't know if Emerald can be revived or respawned. I don't want to risk her. While she's powerful, she's not fully grown yet. Being a Legacy Grade beast, she can help me greatly in the future. I turn my focus towards the gate, and I walk up to it, with Emerald behind me. I place my hand on it and get a message.

[Warning: Raid on the City of Rosalia shouldn't be done solo!]

[Warning: Chances of death are extreme!]

[Do you wish to start: The Raid of City Rosalia? Y/N]

I click yes, and the gate slowly opens, and as it finishes raising, I step through the barrier, and Emerald follows behind me. She stays right next to me. "My brother said the place we need to go is on the Western side of the city... We'll kill anything in our way, but we'll do our best to avoid a fight, alright?" Emerald gives a knowing nod and is on the same page as me.

We start using the alleyways and roofs to reach the western side of the city, and we do have some encounters with monsters, but we kill them before they notice us. They're grotesque abominations that have been twisted be horrid powers. If these once humans look like this, I can't imagine what Queen Rosalia has gone through. What kind of monster she's become...

Emerald is easily able to hold her own against these creatures. While she's a Legacy beast, her stats are better than mine except for speed. Monsters are stronger than Players, after all. I couldn't imagine how strong she'd be if she was a Legendary beast. We take our time getting to the Western side of the city. If we actually agro one of the monsters, the rest will know we're here.

It's safer to keep things on the down-low cause fighting every monster in the city isn't ideal. In fact, it'll mean death. After a few minutes of careful navigation through the city, we come across a problem. Monsters surround the sewage treatment plant. "He didn't say anything about this..." Cera should've warned me about this. I open my Friends Tab and click on his name.

[Hey, you dumbass! The sewage treatment plant is surrounded by monsters! How am I supposed to get inside without getting killed? I know you probably didn't mean to do this, but I'm pretty upset right now! So? Any other bright ideas that you have to share with me?! Or are there no more traps for you to send me in!!]

My frustration and anger are clear within the message I just sent. And now I'm waiting for Cera to get back to me. Emerald is eyeing the monsters, and I'm doing the same. We're in a safe place, and no one can see us, but there are so many of them. If we fight them, all the monsters in the city will come running towards us, and then we'll die. I get a notification saying I have a new message.

[You didn't expect it to all be easy, did you? It's a Raid for a reason. You'll have to fight through the group of monsters surrounding the treatment plant before the rest arrive. That, or you can run past them and get into the sewers. They won't go down there since it's the territory of the Hidden boss. How you do this is up to you. I said good luck for a reason.]

Of course, there is no easy answer to this, and I should've expected this from a Raid. "Well, Emerald. It looks like we'll have to fight our way through until we get into the sewers. We'll only have a minute or so before the whole city is on us. They all have speed riveling my own, so we only have one shot at this." She understands and gains a predatory look at the monsters ahead.

I draw Hearts Needle and active all my best skills, and I leap off the roof and start carving a path inside through the monsters. Emerald is right beside me and helping in all the ways she can. She's killing them too, but suffering damage from their speed. "RAAAHHH!!!" There are screams in the distance, and that's our sign to get a move on.

We're inside the sewage treatment plant, and the smell makes me want to puke. There is a massive opening leading into the sewers, and I jump through it with Emerald right next to me. As soon as we cross that thresh hold, all the monsters stop their pursuits. I splash into the most disgusting water I've ever been in, and I'm gagging and puking.

As my eyes water, I can see Emerald having a hard time dealing with the smell too. "Let's get..." I have to take a second to gag and puke. "Get this over with..." I'm all out of puke to give, so that means all that's left is gagging. We step onto the walkway, and we're dripping in old shit and piss that's been left in the sewage. I open my Friends Tab and click on my brother's name again.

[I'm so getting you back for this, you piece of shit.]

That's all I send to him, and I'm still struggling to stop myself from gagging from the smell. After a few more steps, I get a message back from him.

[If anyone is the piece of shit right now, it's you. How's the smell down there, by the way? It hasn't seen any treatment in a few centuries.]

My face becomes red in anger, and my eyes nearly bulge out of my head. "The nerve of him..." He's actually trying to make me more pissed, given the situation I'm in.
