Chapter 11

Tina

For one glorious hour after the raid had rallied around her, Tina finally achieved her goal pace of “bats out of hell.” Then everyone remembered how tired, hungry, and thirsty they were, and things began to slow. By the time the first hint of the false dawn began to light up the gray-clouded sky, she was grateful for any distance at all. Even with her taking point to set the pace, the entire raid was dead on their feet. The only reason they hadn’t fallen over yet was because then they’d be actually dead.

Fittingly, the Endurance- and Strength-based characters were handling the march the best. When it became clear the casters couldn’t keep even this slow pace, Tina and SB—who’d insisted on walking under his own power again—organized a piggyback rotation. Tina volunteered to take NekoBaby since the Naturalist had wiped herself out bringing SB back to life. The jubatus was curled up on top of her backpack like a giant pet cat, which would have been cute if it hadn’t meant Tina had to carry her shield on her arm instead of her back, making her entire right side ache as the miles wore on and on.

At least no one was complaining anymore. Ever since the Assassins had left, no one had issued a peep of disobedience. They’d had a few more fights with random monsters, but the packs of shambling zombies and undead hounds were easier than the ones they’d fought yesterday. Tina took that as a sign they’d finally crossed into the western half of the Deadlands. Everything got easier as they got farther away from the Once King’s mountain.

But even though the fights weren’t as deadly, the fear that they’d come around a bend and find KuroKawaii’s or ZeroDarkness’s corpses—or worse, their reanimated corpses—didn’t go away. She’d even sent Zen ahead once to scout for them, but the elf had returned empty-handed.

“Are we there yet?” Killbox asked wearily, dragging his giant boots.

“Five more miles, I think,” NekoBaby said from atop Tina’s backpack.

“How do you know that?” Tina asked. She’d spent forty hours a week grinding quests in the Deadlands when the place first opened, and she still couldn’t wrap her head around the new distances.

The Naturalist shrugged. “Intelligence gear.”

“Nice,” Tina said. “Does that mean all the casters are super smart now?”

“I wish,” NekoBaby said with a snort. “It mostly seems to augment memory and analytical skills. Ask me to name the first one thousand prime numbers sometime.”

“That’s still pretty cool,” Tina said.

“And hella useful,” Neko said. “That’s how I know how far away from the Order of the Golden Sun’s fortress we are. I can remember the old game map’s grid system perfectly now, so I’ve been using familiar landmarks to build an updated version in my head.”

Several impressed “oohs” went up from the surrounding players, and Neko preened.

“So how much bigger is the world now?” Tina asked.

“Hard to say,” Neko replied. “Most stuff seems to be a thousand times bigger than it was in the old FFO, but not everything fits that measurement.
