Authors note:
This is a Dark Souls 3 story that follows a play through of me and two other friends. You are allowed to read this, but this is mainly a tribute to my friends. Constructive criticism is welcome, but I will not respond to hate.
The events that take place in this story and the personalities of the characters are largely made because of long running jokes about the characters.
This story follows the third person perspectives of 3 different characters.
The wind was still, the dark sun overlooked a dying world. Footsteps could be heard as a lone pyromancer stepped out from a locked room on a grand wall (the high Wall of Lothric). Her name was Nia, she was a 5'7 darkish skin woman with black hair wrapped into a messy ponytail. She was also wearing a standard pyromancer set fitting of the time period.
As she moved forward, she came to a staircase that leads from the top of the tower to a lower part of it. When she got to the bottom of the stairs, she saw a small bonfire with a sword sticking out the middle.
The warmth of the fire could be felt just by looking at it, almost like it was calling for her to rest. Just as she was about to sit down a loud THUD was heard from behind her. She quickly turned around to see what it was with her pyromancy hand ready.
Nia: "What the hell is that" she said as she slowly approached whatever just fell from the top of the stairs.
???: "Wow who are you, you look cooooool." the stranger said with their chin planted into the ground.
Now with a closer look Nia found not a monster but a girl that looked no older than her.
Nia: "Are you ok it looks like you took quite the fall" Nia said while she lowered her guard a bit.
Waifu: "oh yes, I'm fine my name is Waifu" she said still laying on the ground.
Waifu was a 5'5 woman with light skin and wild untamed hair that can't be described. She also did not have the best-looking face; in other words, she looked unkept. Despite the ugly appearance she had a HUGE personality. Going by her looks she was an apprentice sorcerer, wearing standard sorcerer attire.
Whop-eesh!
Their brief conversation was cut short after another loud noise was heard, this time from the other end of the tower. Apon looking over at the sound, Both Nia and Waifu were overcome with horror and disgust, there was a lone women lashing herself on the back with her robes cast to the side. At first it might have seen like she was carrying out some kind of weird religious punishment, but that thought was thrown out the window when a loud moan echoed out on an especially painful whip. She stopped after the last lash and accidently looked over at Waifu and Nia.
???: "..."
Nia: "..."
Waifu: "..."
Waifu gets up without saying a word dust herself off and walks to the bonfire and just... sits there. Nia stands there in disbelief her words failing her because of the scene Infront of her.
???: "U- Umm I- I- I was just practicing my yoga" she said as she remained unmoving in the same kneeling down position she was in, now with the whip discarded on the ground.
Ligma: "My name is Ligma I- I assume we are here for the same reason, right? To link the flame, right?" she said now putting on her cloths.
Ligma was a 5'7 female with black messy hair that drops down a little past her shoulders. she also has light skin and a completely average build. She had the clothing of a traveling cleric... when she was wearing them.
Nia: (in her head) "I'm just going to pretend nothing happened and introduce myself to this freak like a normal person."
Nia: "Hi I'm Nia I- It's nice to meet a fellow age of fire advocate." Nia says as she is still not completely there mentally.
Ligma: "umm where did your friend go, I would also like to talk to her." Ligma says as she is now standing up and ready to go.
Nia: " Oh her she's not really my friend I only just meet her, but we can go talk to her if you want." Nia says as she motions to start walking to the bonfire.
The unbearable silence that once filled the air is starting to break as they make their way to the bonfire. Waifu meets them halfway to the bonfire; it seems she had the same resolution that Nia had.
Before Ligma could say a word Waifu starts to speak.
Waifu: "it's nice to meet a new face could I know you name, mine is Waifu." Waifus says now with newfound excitement.
Ligma: "my name is Ligma... This might be asking for a lot, but I think we should travel together, I think it's safer that way." Ligma says now very timid a far cry from her earlier actions.
Nia interjects: "I think that is a great idea we would have a much better chance of linking the fire." Nia says with confidence.
Waifu: "oh so that's what you guys were doing i just came here because the blind lady from the shrine kicked me out. but if I just need to link some fire to get back there, I'll do it." Waifu says with excitement.
Nia: " if that's everything I think it's about time that we head out"
The clouds now covering the already darkened sun and a ghostly wind now fills the air. The tall, deformed trees that look more like a mutated hollow shake in the wind and screams of hollows can be heard coming from every direction. The newfound trio now prepare to go on an adventure that will surely leave its mark in history.
