First Quest

On the spotlessly clean tiled floors there was a girl dressed in all white and waist length black hair.

She pulls her upper body forward and pushes down her back repeatedly.

'61 hours, 38 minutes and 59 seconds.'

She glances at the door while doing her sit ups.

'1 more minute.' She thought.

In her brain it's more or less three days but she already lost track of how many attempts she did to finally be able to mentally count the time.

'Thirty seconds'

She breathes in and out multiple times and at exactly thirty seconds a gas enters the room from the micro space in the ceiling. Filling up the room and the girl drops down motionless. Minutes later the gas was cleaned out of the room.

The door opens and two masked men enter. One walked towards the girl on the floor and picked her up while the other one was preparing for an injection.

After laying the girl's body back on the bed, he picks up the unplugged tubes from the floor and when he turns to the lying girl he sees her eyes move and opens.

*Chiiiiiik*

A fountain of blood gushes out from the masked man's throat. He grabs his slashed neck reflectively to stop the bleeding.

There is something light like a sprinkle of water he felt in his suited arm. Looking at his white clothes, he fails to process quickly what it is.

He looks up and freezes up. The girl who is supposed to be asleep is in the middle of a blood shower in her hand is the needle end of the tube.

As if the time when slowly the girl turns to him. Her face has a large line of blood from brows passing to her nose and drips to her jaw.

He flinched as she saw her dead calm expression, almost looking like staring at an empty space.

Her palm blocks his vision. Something pushes him down and he falls straight on his back. A heavy weight presses down his body like something is pinning him down.

'I guess this is it.' It is his last thought as he closes his eyes.

The black hair girl rides on top of the fallen body of the masked man and pulls out the syringe she stole and forces it in his neck.

'Taste your own medicine.' She thought mockingly and flicks away the empty syringe

A pool of blood reached the girl's bare feet.

'His skull must have been cracked' looking down indifferently and not minding the blood staining her soles, she bent down to check his pulse.

'Still Breathing?' After confirming he is still alive she reaches next for the mask but it won't budge.

'Huh?' She pulls again but still remains attached to its face.

She went around to slit throat with a masked man. He collapsed facing down with one hand still covering his neck.

'This one is dead for sure.' She nods to herself even without confirming the pulse. Scorching down she flips up the body.

The mask is dripping with blood. Not minding the mess she reaches for the mask and this one too, it remains attached.

Several more tries and failures before she moves back again to the cracked head man because the slit throat man's masks keep slipping off her grip because of blood.

Drying the blood in her hand she cleans it off with her dress. She gets ready to pull it one more time. Gritting her teeth and kneeing the man's chest she tugs the mask.

*Riiiiiip*

*Riiiiiiiiiiiip*

*Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiip* Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip*

'Ah Fin--'

*Booooooooooooooooooooom*

A small but terrible explosion happened.

The girl was thrown back in the mirror. Because the room is an enclosed space the sound vibrated back making the sound more violent to the ears. Her vision became blurry and continuous high pitch sounds were ringing in her ears.

*Ting*

'Hidden quest?!. . . . . .keepers?'

Her vision is returning slowly. She stood up and looked at the explosion source. Smoke is coming from the head of the masked man.

At her hand is the partially damaged mask. The mask is plain white in color (minus the blood stains), darkened eye hole and nothing else but before the explosion she heard a ripping sound.

*Bang

The door bursts open and six masked men enter. Their build might vary but their masks are identical with dead keepers.

Dragging herself the girl immediately went on the farthest opposite side.

")&!3^)##_4**^@$^!)*!)#&$(^" A mechanical voice spoke. It was impossible for her to determine who was speaking since their masks cover their full face.

The masked men split in between and made way for another masked man wearing the same mask but his white overalls are a little different and a eye catching bronze brooch is pinned on his collar.

He stops and glances at the direction of the smoking head keeper then the slit throat keeper before he says something.

"!(&*#^@()$&)!_#&$(@}!~^(&!!"

'Language Barrier' She thought.

The bronze brooch man steps forward to the cornered girl, she flinches and he stops from advancing. He continues to speak in a language she can't understand.

"!)!&#@)#&@(!)&#^(@&!&##@"

She raises her arms with an open palm. A gesture of surrendering. Cautiously she slightly lowers it.

"!()$@&)&@#)#@&" The bronze brooch man spoke and all the masked men started advancing.

The girl is reaching her hand out. The brown brooch man also extended his hands but then he flinched after noticing the girl was holding something.

"!)(&#@)#)!@#)#(" He shouts and all the men sprint towards the girl's direction.

A smile formed in her lips as she crushed the item she was holding.

Layers after layers of light springs out of the item she is holding, enveloping her body and when the light dissipates she is gone.

She vanished.
