"You catch those rumors that they aren't having him do anything?" Cy smirked again. "That he's just wandering around on his own?"

"Oh gosh, yes!" Arashi laughed, lightly. "He's a program... that isn't possible."

"I know, but the newbs always like stuff like that." Cyprian almost laughed. "Besides...he doesn't act at all like a normal NPC...he doesn't act his 'role'."

"I was reading the plot hits behind the new update," Arashi admitted as they began walking along the river of water that ran through the town. "He's supposed to be a healer who lost his memories and was taken in and raised by monsters. Apparently he will heal your team randomly during the battle just before casting a skill that takes you down to 1 HP."

"It's part of a combo." Cyprian nodded. "He's an extremely powerful healer...he casts a spell that makes you count as undead before healing you so that his heal spells deal damage instead of reversing it. So he heals you to death."

"Which also makes it so that a healer's heal will cause you damage!" Arashi gasped. "Oh, that is awful! Very creative... but awful! This is going to require extensive research..."

He looked positively thrilled at the thought.

"I hate to burst your bubble, but...the programmers really wanted a challenge and made the perfect one." Cy informed. "It's one thing to even have damage resistance...spells, items and skills help with that, even if it's magical, but...this is a status effect and there's not a really anything geared against it. Not only is it effective and near impossible to get around so you can heal yourself, it's damned hard to even prevent."

"There's a fix for everything!" Arashi assured. "And I'm going to find it!"

He laughed a little.

"Not that I'd be high enough to take on that boss anyway..."

"He's only for the elite." Cyprian nodded. "And most of them are pissing in their pants at his release. The Broken Memories expansion is gonna be mayhem when it's unleashed."

"Reminds me of when I was six and they released that WoW expansion... my cousin waited in line over night to get it," Arashi snorted. "I wonder if I can pre-order the expansion..."

"The Game is free, fuck World of Warcraft." Cyprian snorted.

"Agreed!" Arashi laughed before pausing and turning around, realizing that they had an entire group of new players following them.

Cyprian blinked at all the new characters before he sighed and looked at Arashi.

"You got a teleport ready?" He asked.

Arashi nodded and they heard all the newbies whine as they teleported to the next town.

"God, I hate those clingy little twerps." Cyprian sighed- dusting himself off. "Oh, the put us in the Magic City, cool. You can buy Perks to get spells from other lists here."

"That's pretty cool," Arashi breathed as he took a seat by a fountain and touched the water, smiling at the cold and wet feeling of it.
