Spiteful Healer

Broken fragments of two Airships exploded outward into the skies above the abyss, still several hundred meters out from the edge of the island of Tarolas. Amidst the debris were several players, loots of fear painted on their faces as they found their footing taken from them.

Several players were blasted outward, dying from the damage of the impact. Their bodies could be seen disintegrating as they were flung off and forced to log out. Namely, the pilot and crew members of Seraxus’ unmarked vessel - not a single one survived. Seraxus and his party of five, however, had the equipment, levels, and stats to survive the damage from the impact, and all began free-falling downwards towards the black mist below, with an unknown distance between them and the ground of the gameworld beneath them.

“Mother fucker!” Seraxus shouted angrily, audible to his party.

“Grace of Sloth!” Sylvia, the warlock player of Seraxus’ group, shouted. Her demi-human leopard tail whipped around in the air as she made a quick hand gesture and caused black runes to start glowing along the back of her hands, up her arm under her black robes until re-emerging out the collar of them up her neck and creating rune symbols on her cheek that gave off a deep black light. Following this, a magical glow of deep purple energy encapsulated her and the others, slowing their falling speed massively to the point where it almost looked like they were hovering. This contrasted heavily with the scattered fragments of wood falling out of the skies all around them, with a mixture of torn sails and iron plates flying about and dropping down to the abyss below ahead of the group.

This caused all of them to take in their situation, and all eyes arrived at the black abyss awaiting them below.

“Aint no way I’m boutta get off screened like this.” Seraxus shouted, looking at his companions anxiously. “Can you fly us out of here with this spell?” He looked to Sylvia.

“No, Warlocks can’t fly like Wizards. I learned this spell ‘cause of that Pyri bitch, but it isn’t leveled up yet - I can’t hold us for long. We got about one minute.” Sylvia quickly explained.

“I thought you said Makaroth was cool? VGN was gonna roll out the red carpet for us?” Gambit asked.

“That wasn’t VGN, idiot.” Hajax groaned at him. “Didn’t you recognize the airship?”
