## Story Details

### Story 1: The Rainy Season in VR

Leafa: You can say that again. Think we'll have to cancel the Sylph event tomorrow?
Sakuya: It looks that way. I'll tell Recon to start notifying the participants.
Leafa: They'll be disappointed, no doubt. It's bad enough that it's the rainy season in real life! You'd think they could at least set the weather to sunny in VR!
Sakuya: Ha ha, well, ALO's not the only VRMMO that creates its seasons using real-world data. And Sylph territory is especially hot and humid compared to the other areas. It's like Japan. With weather this hot, you really notice the difference when the seasons change.
Leafa: \*sigh\*... I'm not sure if I should be happy or sad about that...
Sakuya: Hold that thought.
Leafa: Why? What do you mean?
Sakuya: We Sylphs are the only race that can controle the weather. At least, I've heard there is weather-related magic that only Sylphs can use.
Leafa: Well, I know there's magic that any Sylph can use to predict the next day's weather. Is that you're talking about?
Sakuya: Not quite. This magic actually allows you to CONTROL the weather.
Leafa: Are you kidding me?! That kind of magic exists?!
Sakuya: Indeed. Which is why it's been written that Sylphs hid it-even from themselves-for many years. I have even heard of magic that allows one to reverse night and day.
Leafa: Holy crap... That's literally godlike. But if we used id, we'd be able to turn this rainy mess into screaming blue skies!
Sakuya: Correct. I understand that they want the seasons to be realistic, but this is getting ridiculous. We'll end up canceling a lot more than just tomorrow's event if it keeps up. I think it'd be worth our while to try track that magic down.
Leafa: You got it! I'll give you a hand.
Sakuya: That would be great, thanks.

### Story 2: A horse of Nidhogg

Recon: Yes! They're breeding all over Sylph territory, from the plains and forests to the swamps!
Sakuya: I've heard that name. It's an enormous serpent in Norse mythology.
Recon: Th-That's correct. And until now, appearances were extremely rare. And I'd like to say they've remained so... Why I don't understand is why they're starting to pop up more frequently in Sylph territory.
Leafa: Well, if the legend is any guide, they live in bodies of water. Y'know, we've had a lot of rain lately... Think that was something to do with it?
Sakuya: I think that's a pretty safe bet.
Leafa: All I know is that we have to act fast. We can't let those monsters run wild. The game maps will become too dangerous to explore.
Sakuya: You're right about that. Okay, let's continue the search for that magic spell. We have to find a stone monument deep in the ancien forest, where the spell has been secreted away.
Leafa: Deep in the forest, huh...? We won't be able to fly, will we? I've also heard that people get lost in there because the map doesnt show up either.
Sakuya: Correct. People say it feels like a dungeon, despite being above-ground.
Recon: W-Wait a second!
Leafa: What is it, Recon?
Recon: S-Surely you're not thinking of going into the ancient forest?
Sakuya: We are... Why do you ask?
Recon: That's where people are reporting the Nidhogg have made their lair!
Sakuya: You must be joking!

### Story 3: Sylph's Alchemy

Kirito: Not a problem, Sakuya. You had me at "exploring a sacred area", to be honest.
Sakuya: Ha ha, it's not sacred so much as an are that no one dares set foot in.
Kirito: Wait, what? Leafa told me...
Leafa: Yeaaaaah, about that... Hehe...
Kirito: You little liar!
Leafa: Okay, so the nuance is slightly different! It's the same idea!
Kirito: Slightly... More like totally. You just said that to make sure I'd come along. And here I thought Sakuya was inviting me to explore this area on behalf of the Sylphs.
Sakuya: Why didn't you tell him the truth, Leafa?
Leafa: I thought we were in a big hurry, and Kirito usually takes his time when he preps for a quest.
Kirito: Wait, we need to prep for this? What have you gotten me into?
Leafa: Uhh... Okay, so let me explain. See this forest up ahead? Most people who set foot in it get lost and just, uh, give up...
Sakuya: By which she means they can't get out and take a death penalty in order to respawn outside.
Kirito: What the-?
Sakuya: So I suppose in one sense it IS sacred ground.
Leafa: Oh, and we'll probably encounter swarms of these nasty serpent things called the Nidhogg, so... Watch out for those!
Kirito: Wait, wait, wait... We really need to come up with a plan here.
Sakuya: But as Leafa said, we have little time for strategizind. You have my sincerest apologies for the accelerated timeline. We must find that monument at once. We need to acquire that spell...
Kirito: Spell? Care to explain that too?
Leafa: Sure, I'll explain all you want while we're making our way through the forest.
Kirito: But then we'll never get out! Do I get any say in this?!
Leafa: Ha ha, don't worry! We'll figure it out... Probably.

### Story 4: Sakuya's resolve

Kirito: Ungh! They're every bit as strong as you said!
Leafa: Whoa!
Sakuya: Leafa!
Leafa: I'm okay! It looked like I was gonna get stuck in the mud there for a second!
Kirito: This is about as bas as it gets... Not only are we flightless, but we're not even on solid footing!
Sakuya: Kirito, look out!
Nidhogg: Skraaaaaaa!
Kirito: Wha-! That was a close one! How many are there, anyway?!
Leafa: You barely made it! That attack would've killed you for sure.
Sakuya: We have to get out of here! We'll never kill them all!
Leafa: Y-You got it!
Kirito: I guess we don't have a choice.
Sakuya: Are you okay, Kirito?
Kirito: Yeah, I'm good. More importantly, are you? You're the leader of the Sylphs. Are you sure you should be out here?
Leafa: I said the same thing! But did she listen? Nope...
Sakuya: This is of great import to the Sylphs. How could I lead my people in good conscience, if I did not take part in this search myself? I had to see to this in person.
Kirito: I can certainly understand that. I'm right behind you, after all.
Sakuya: And for that I thank you.
Kirito: Though I can't say for sure just how far we'll get... Heh.

### Story 5: Unexpected Encounter

Kirito: Well, the three of us can't fight our way through that Nidhogg army.
Sakuya: This is true. We could figure something out if we had a tank player with us.
Kirito: Actually... If I'm the attacker... And you two buff and heal me, we might be able to get away with it.
Leafa: Maybe, but I still think we'd need at least one more attacker. And if that attacker could strike as powerfully as you do, Kirito... We could offer support while you two keep up the attack, and keep the monsters from attacking.
Sakuya: Ha ha, wouldn't that be nice? But finding reinforcements is tough on a good day, let alone a player like Kirito. They don't grow on trees- not even in the ancient forest.
Kirito: You've got that right. Besides, everyone who sets foot in here dies... So there's no hope of calling for backup this time...
???: Is that who I think it is?
Kirito: Who said that?!
Rain: It is you! Privyet, guys! What are you all up to?

### Story 6: Company in the forest

Kirito: What the heck are YOU doing in a place like this?
Rain: A place like what? Is there something weird about this forest or something? I was just looking to fight in the neutral zone between the Cait Sith and Sylph territories.
Leafa: Well, you wound up in Sylph territory!
Sakuya: Indeed. And I am Sakuya, leader of the Sylphs.
Rain: Are you serious?! I knew I was off course, but wow... Forgive me, Lady Sakuya. I never intended to infiltrate your territory, so I'll turn back. Spasiba...
Kirito: Wait up! Don't just run off into the woods!
Rain: Why? Oh... It's THAT kind of forest, huh?
Sakuya: Correct. Once you've set foot inside, you can't get out.
Kirito: I can't believe you just walked in without knowing...
Rain: Yeaaaaah, about that... Hehe...
Leafa: You sure picked a heck of a day to go out wandering...
Rain: Tell me about it...
Sakuya: Yeah, I can't imagine many people are out exploring in this weather. Is there any particular reason why you are?
Kirito: You think she has one?
Rain: Well, um...

### Story 7: Why Rain

Kirito: Oh c'mon, there's no way it's that simple.
Rain: Hahaha, I have always enjoyed getting wet in the rain. But honestly... it's mostly because there are fewer people out. I can just go out and do whatever I want without worrying about who might be watching.
Sakuya: I see.
Rain: Oh, and just so you know... My avatar name is actually short for Rainbow.
Kirito: Ah, gotcha. That makes sense. After all your real name is- Actually, I shouldn't say it in-game, hehe...
Rain: Heh. My sister's avatar name also takes inspiration from her real name. Seven colors in a rainbow, right? Looking back on it, I guess I took the path of least resistance with my name. But it feels like one more way that we share a connection.
I'm happy with that.
Kirito: Ha ha, the path of least resistance...
Leafa: Ha ha, the path of least resistance...
Sakuya: What is wrong with you two? You're doubled over!
Kirito: It's a long story. Rain would you mind helping us out? I think we can take down those Nidhoggs if you help me press our attack!

### Story 8: Run from Snakes

Nidhogg: Skraaawwwwrrrr!
Kirito: That's it! Keep drawing their aggro! I'll run around behind them!
Rain: Okay!
Leafa: Don't worry, I'll keep you buffed!
Sakuya: And you can leave healing to me!
Kirito: Perfect!
Leafa: Phew... What a fight! We're through the Nidhogg lair.
Sakuya: Indeed. And we couldn't have done it without Rain.
Rain: No no, I was just passing through... But I'm glad I could help.
Kirito: Hey guys, check out that massive rock over there. What is that, some sort ot monolith?
Sakuya: No, I think that's the monument we're looking for. Let's go!
Leafa: Oh my gosh, we made it! Whoohoo!
Sakuya: Indeed. That must be it. If we incant the words carved on this monument, we will acquire the secret magic of the Sylphs.
Kirito: Great! Is it something only Sylphs can incant?
Leafa: Yeah, it looks that way. But the level requirement is crazy high! I'm not quite high enough...
Sakuya: I'll try it. I should be at a high enough level.
Rain: As the leader of the Sylphs should be.
Kirito: Ha ha, yeah. You'll have to try again once you're stronger, Leafa.
Leafa: Man, this sucks...

### Story 9: Escape under the blue sky

Kirito: That did it! The weather's clearing!
Rain: Wow... The way the light filters through the trees is absolutely gorgeous.
Leafa: It's even making the water falling off the leaves sparkle! This is incredible!
Sakuya: Thank goodness. That should keep the Nidhogg population in check and make the map safe to explore.
Leafa: Wait a sec... We can't fly in this forest, can we?
Are we really gonna have to die in here in order to get out?
Kirito: No way... There's got to be another option.
Rain: Right, because it'd be really bad if Sakuya died, wouldn't it?
Kirito: Hmm... The weather's cleared up, right?
Rain: Huh? Yeah, and sunlight's filtering through the trees...
Leafa: And making the rainwater sparkle...
Kirito: So do you think our wings will be able to absord some power from the sunlight?
Sakuya: Ah, yes! That could be a way out!
Leafa: Quick, guys! Spread your wings!

### Story 10: Battle Again

Leafa: We really should've thought of an escape plan... Looking at you, Kirito!
Kirito: Me? The guy who wasn't even told where we were going?
Sakuya: Hahaha! We were in quite the rush. You have my apologies.
Kirito: No worries. We made it, and that's what counts.
Rain: ...
Kirito: What's the matter, Rain?
Rain: Hm? Oh, nothing. I'm fine.
Leafa: Are you a little sad now that the rain has stopped?
Rain: Ha ha, well...I like how fresh the air feels after it rains, too. But I've finally realized that I really do enjoy rainy days.
Kirito: Yeah, I noticed you really came alive when we were fighting those Nidhoggs, all wet and muddy.
Leafa: Hehe, I'll second that.
Rain: Augh, it wasn't that muddy! Why'd you have to ruin it like that?
Kirito: Ha ha, well, if it helps, that fight just confirmed for me how talented of a fighter you are. If you're still bitter about that comment, I wouldn't mind a duel or two.
Rain: Oh yeah? You want a rematch?
Kirito: Sure do. We can always wait for another rainy day, if you want. But I want to try fighting you for real one more time.
Rain: ... Hehe, I can see the fire in your eyes. You're getting ME fired up!
Alright, you're on! Let's do it right here!
Kirito: Ha ha, awesome! I'll make sure you don't regret it!
Rain: Same to you!
Leafa: Really? You're gonna duel now? After we just escaped with our lives from the forest?
You two really are combat-crazy...
Sakuya: Ha ha, I think it's nice of them to give us a show.

### Story 11: After Battle

Kirito: Yessss! I beat Rain!
Rain: Pfft, I would've won if it were raining!
Kirito: Oh! A sore loser, eh?
Rain: Hehe, nah, I'm just kidding. You've really upped your game, Kirito.
Kirito: You've made remarkable progress yourself, Rain.
Rain: You think so? Thank you. Okay, I should probably get going.
Sakuya: So soon? Are you sure I can't offer you some tea back at my palace?
Rain: I appreciate the offer, but I can't. I was still in the middle of gathering materials.
Leafa: That's what you were doing in that downpour?
Rain: Hehe, I told you I like going outside in the rain, didn't I?
I'll see you around, guys!
Kirito: Sure thing! Thanks, Rain.

### Story 12: Angel of Rainbow

Leafa: Yeah! We're way behind shedule of that Sylph event! It's supposed to be happening now!
Sakuya: Indeed, thanks to waiting so long for a sunny day.
Kirito: Sounds like you both have your work cut out for you. Good luck!
... Whoa!
Leafa: What's wrong?
Sakuya: Ooh... Look at the sky where Rain was just flying!
Kirito: Yeah. That's a beautiful rainbow.
Leafa: Wow... She's really living up to her name.
Kirito: And so the rainbow follows the Rain...
Sakuya: The harbinger of summer.
Leafa: Hehe, so it is. We all sound like poets or something!
Sakuya: It's appropriate, no? The changing of the seasons always makes me sentimental.
Kirito: And I for one can't wait to see what the future holds.
Leafa: Me neither! I hope there are a lot of summer events for ALO in the works!
Kirito: Ha ha, we'll know soon enough!
