In Dealing with Pecopecos...

She met Kawangakid in Alberta. After giving him some arrows for Ktk8, and helping out some lost wanderers in this land of Midgard, they went their separate ways. Kawangakid went out to the forest of Payon while Kirsikka, stayed and checked out the local pub.

It was quiet in Alberta, there aren't much people there. Most of the travellers there came to the city by boat the same as she was. She passed through some people she met on the boat. One of them was very drunk he already fell asleep on the table. Kirsikka caught a faint blue tint on the man's pocket. She lookedround to check if anyone was looking at her. When she found out that none of them was paying attention to her, she slid of her seat and gracefully glided towards the drunken man. Without anyone looking, she quickly took the shiny blue object from the drunken man, paid for her drink and headed outside the pub. She then went to an isolated place in the city, which wasn't really hard to find since most of the place in Alberta was deserted. When everything was already clear, she started to chech out her loot.

It wasn't much though, just a few jelopies, 3 animal skins, grasshopper's legs, a poring doll and a strange grayish rock. After poring over her new finds, she kept everything in her bag to be sold later to a dealer. But she was still holding the strange gray rock. It was the first time she'd seen that kind of thing. As Kirsikka examined the strange rock, it instantly broke into two.

"Dang!" Kirsikka said out loud to no one in particular. "I broke it!"

As she was trying to put the two pieces back together, the world suddenly spun and I find myself on the other side of the city. The people looked at me with curious stares. They are probably wondering where she had came from. She looked around the area where she "landed" and found herself near the docks. There was a sailor calling people who were planning to go to the Sunken Ship or the Izlude Marina. Looking around and finally deciding on what to do, Kirsikka went to the sailor, gave him the last five hundred zennies that she has and headed towards the boat that would take her to the Izlude Marina.

The voyage was short. It only took about 5 days to get to Izlude and when Kirsikka got there, she sold the items that she had previously got from the monsters that she had faced and that drunken man. Kirsikka went around and found out that the gray stone that she got was actually a Fly wing. It helps non-magic users to teleport from one area to another. She figured that that might help me out when she gets to encounter monsters that she know that she can't fight against. So Kirsikka purchased some of those and a couple of necessities that she knows that she would need and headed out after giving the nice lady Kafra some of my life essence to keep me alive, she left the city of Izlude and headed towards the city of Prontera.

It was an easy trek going there. On her way there, she was battling monsters left and right, training herself to be one of the best thief in Midgard. Kirsikka new to the trade, she hasn't even been stealing much. Just trying to kill them and get the loot when their already dead. Kirsikka knows that it's very disrespectul to the dead but she also knows that her skills werent good enough to actually try and steal from the monsters without actually getting caught. She remembered when she tried stealing one time from a bigfoot...that wasn't one of her memorable experience but it's enough for her to learn that when you're new to the trade, you have to start small.

As Kirsikka was battling those monsters on her way to Prontera, she getting more loots than I could possibly handle. When she reached the city, she enterd the some of the shops and sold her loot yet again. When she was finished, she again purchased more items that would help her in her trek towards the City of Morocc. After the preparations, she was ready to set out again. Giving her life essence to the lady Kafra, she then headed out towards the Prontera forest where she started battling monters again. Training did help her become more agile that the monsters barely hit her anymore. She started batting out stronger monster that she knows that she can fight. And while she gains experience from all the fighting, she has been improving on the attack strategy that she makes. She knows that she was getting better. And she loves the feeling of power as she quickly slice of Porings with her knife.

As it happens that Kirsikka was travelling in Socrat dessert when she encountered her first Pecopeco. It was really a magnificent creature. But she needs the monster to gain more training. Inching closer, she tackled the giant beast and started slashing it with her Cutter. She dodges and slashed with swift movements that the Pecopeco was didn't know where to start pecking her. But it was really hard work. The feathers of the beast was strong and thick that the cutter was having trouble slicing through it. But after numerous attempts, Kirsikka fanally killed him. She was proud. This was the first time she had battled a Pecopeco and won. Though, she had suffered much in the process, Kirsikka smiled inspite of herself as she headed to the closed palm tree and rested to get her strenght back. Drinking some milk and eating some meat while she rested in the shade she regained her energy quickly ready to strike at her next victim.

But as it happens, she has come across a pair of Pecopecos on her way to Morocc. Feeling that her luck was still at her side, Kirsikka started towards one of them and started attacking yet again. But Kirsikka did not anticipate that the other Pecopeco was her mate. The other creature started attacking her as well. not knowing what to do, she kept her concentration on one of them trying her best to finish the job and start attacking the next one but she was blacking out. She couldn't open her eyes anymore. She fell and went into a deep slumber.

She woke up looking at the face of the lady Kafra she met a few days ago in Prontera.

"So, you're finally awake," the lady Kafra said smiling at Kirsikka. "You be careful next time. I'll be hanging on to this until you are really safe from your journey." She continued as she held her essence in her hand.

Kirsikka thanked the good Kafra and headed off once more towards the city of Morocc...
