~~~(POV: Hailey Adamo)~~~

~~~(Location: Sewers of Capital City Rosalia, The Fallen Kingdom of Rosalia)~~~

~~~(Time: 9:31 AM)~~~

Emerald and I have been walking down this single path for 20 minutes now, and there has been little change. This is the correct path since it's the only one to go down after facing the hidden boss. "I don't know why it's taking so long, Emerald. I wouldn't expect the sewers to be like this..." I'm tempted to message Cera and ask him if he knows anything.

I don't want to rely so heavily on him. He could send me into another terrible situation again. Being submerged full body in piss and shit was horrible to trick me into, and I'm not in the mood for another one of his practical jokes. Emerald lets out a low and quick groan in agreement. Her head is hanging down, and she's become lethargic. 

She's getting really sick and tired of the smell down here, and I think it's about time to put her back in my Inventory. I won't be needing her help with the boss since I'm likely dying. I don't want her to die either. I still don't know if she respawns or not. "It's time to go back in my Inventory, Emerald. When I'm done here, I'll take you out." She stops in her tracks and sits. 

She looks more than happy to be getting out of this, and I'm a little jealous that she gets out of this. "No, don't fight me too hard on this..." I can't help a bit of sarcasm from coming out, and she lets out a tired sigh. "Fine, fine. I'll hurry up." After she's back in my Inventory, I look forward on the path and begin walking again. This time alone and envious that Emerald gets a break.

My time and effort in this Raid are supposed to be worth it, but I'm starting to regret even having a Legendary Class... That's not true, but I'm annoyed nonetheless. "I wish I didn't have to get killed fighting this boss... Does that mean I'll have to do the whole Raid again?" That's a question for Cera, and I open my Friends Tab and click on Cera's name.

[Will I have to start the Raid all over again if I'm killed by the boss? Cause that's something that you should've said before I started this. Don't forget that I'm getting you back for sending me into a fucking sewer that smells like death. I don't know how I'm getting you back for this, but you can be sure that it'll be worse than this.]

That's a large promise to keep, but I'm getting him back for all this. He could've warned me how back it was and given me advice on how to prepare. "In the end, it's a bit my fault too. I expected him to help me, and he used that to his advantage to prank me like this. My gullibility came back to bite me." After a couple of seconds, I get a response from him.

[You'll not have to start the Raid over. You'll be respawned outside the boss room. Normally you would, but since this involves your tier-up quest, the system will be a bit more forgiving since your doing it on your own. As to your promise to get me back, all I can say is good luck topping my prank. That's a hard act to follow.]

The arrogance in his words pisses me off more than he knows, and more than I'd ever admit or show. It's the worse being outdone by a sibling, especially a younger one. "Stay on your high horse. I can't wait to knock you off!!" My anger gets the better of me after rereading this message. The only good thing about this message is I don't have to do the whole Raid over.

~~~(Time: 9:50 AM)~~~

It looks like Hailey is about to start her Raid boss fight from these messages. That or she's getting close. From what I remember reading about Consumed Queen Rosalia, she's a strong entity even among other Raid bosses, and that's something to be wary of. It sucks Hailey has to do it on her own, but that's the way her tier-up quest works. 

Speaking of tier-up quests, I haven't made any progress on mine simply because I haven't found out who to talk to in this fucking city. I'm starting to get frustrated with my own quest, similar to how frustrated Hailey is getting. "We heard that you gave our guys some trouble!!" Oh great, more interruptions to my quest. 

Earlier, I was attacked by a group of Players looking to take advantage of me. It didn't go so well for them, but it seems like they've gone and told on their big brothers. "I swear, if another group of people comes at me, I'm killing every Player in this city to prove a point..." My whisper is unheard as I turn to look at the group.

They're all wearing great gear with far better stats than mine, but that doesn't mean a thing when against The Witness. "Why don't you come and avenge them? If killing another group of you idiots proves that I shouldn't be messed with, so be it." I slowly draw my weapon, and I see the chills that it inflicts on them. They lean in closer and whisper to each other.

No doubt trying to figure out if they should attack or not. "I'll tell you what." The leader of the group starts talking. "We'll let everything go if you give us that weapon. There is no need for further conflict." This makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Do they really think that they can take this? How delusional in your own power must you be?

It's hard to stand here with a straight face. I'm having a hard time not laughing right now, and I think there has been enough talking. I burst forward and cut right through two of the Players, and The Witness is ready to continue killing. I unleash a flurry of attacks, and every strike cuts through a Player in the group, making them dwindle in number fast.

~~~(Time: 10:04 AM)~~~

I exit the blown-out hole that leads into the Palace, and I'm right outside the throne room. The smell isn't bad here, but I'm still covered in the sewage water. I look at the massive doors leading into the throne room, and I can't help feeling intimidated knowing what's behind that door. "This is it..." I slowly walk up to it, and I get a message from the system.

[Warning: You're about to fight a Raid Boss alone!]

[Warning: Consumed Queen Rosalia far out levels you!]

The messages don't help, and I know the first few fights with her are to learn her attack patterns and figure out how to beat her. It sucks that I have to die, but that's the reason I got levels to burn in this time of trial and error. I slowly push open the door, and I'm met with the sight of a grotesque monster sitting on a golden throne.

I walk into the room with Hearts Needle already drawn, and I see Consumed Queen Rosalia start to move, and she's doing it in a way that seems to lack a will. I'm not expecting a conversation, but I'm surprised to hear her speak. "The sister of Cera has arrived..." The voice isn't feminine. It's sounding like a man, and given her Lore. It's probably a powerful demon in that body.
