Once upon a time, there was a group of unlikely travelers journeying through the snowfield on a heroic quest to defeat a menacing hydra.
You may have heard of them before. Their names were Xyla, Sora, Haku, Keii, Shinji, Kata, and Aizaku.
Their feet were swift. Their determination, firm. Their minds...slightly deluded.
Especially a few of the heroes, who for some strange, strange reason...thought Sora had poison arrows.
"Oh, my Gods!" Keii jerked back and pointed at an approaching shape in the blizzard. "It's a monster! Sora, kill it with your poisonous arrows! Here, you can have some of my diarrhe - I mean, special potion to make them even more poisonous!"
"I don't have poisonous arrows!" Sora exclaimed, killing the monster with a well-placed thrust. Keii loomed closer.
"No, here, let me help you put the potion on your poisonous arrows!"
Sora backed away and grasped her quiver of normal, wodden arrows. "No, really...it's okay."
"You shouldn't hug those too tightly!" Shinji warned. "They're poisonous, they might nick you and you could die!"
Sora gave up and stomped off ahead into the snow.
"What's up with her?" Keii asked Shinji.
"Dunno. Must be the fumes of the poisonous arrows getting to her head."
A while later, the earnest heroes chanced upon the hydra.
"OH MY GODS! A HYDRA!" Haku pointed dramatically. "Sora! You must use your poisonous arrows to defeat it! There's no other way!"
"..." Sora unsheathed her sword and ran ahead, delivering a slash to the side of the hydra's third neck. "Not you too, Haku..."
"Yeah, those poisonous arrows sure do pack a punch," Shinji said wisely as the blood flowed freely from the hydra's new wound. "Poisonous arrows are great!"
"I DON'T HAVE POISONOUS ARROWS!" howled Sora, attacking the hydra with an anew rage.
"We're sure lucky to have a companion who has poisonous arrows!" Haku added brightly.
As the boys stood around and talked (and Aizaku preened his hair), Sora, Xyla, and Kata were busy finishing off the hydra.
"Makes me almost want to become a feminist," Xyla remarked, cutting through the hydra's second neck with Toga's blessing and boosting Kata up so she flew through the air and sliced out a pair of the monster's eyes. Sora merely grunted and stabbed again, rendering the finishing blow.
"Yeah!" Keii cheered. "We defeated it! With the help of Sora's poisonous arrows!"
The hydra collapsed onto the ground and died.
[YOU GOT 500 EXP
YOU GOT 10 ZP
YOU GOT A QUIVER OF POISONOUS ARROWS]
"This loot system sucks," Kata remarked.
Sora bent down and picked up the quiver of poisonous arrows. She unslung her bow (dusty from disuse) from her shoulder and strung an arrow to it. "Did you say something about poisonous arrows, boys?" she said sweetly.
Shinji, Haku, and Keii's eyes instantly lit up, seeing as they simply loved poisonous arrows. "Yeah!"
Sora drew the poisonous arrow back and shot them, one after another. "Just as you liked them. Poisonous."
The Moral Of This Story Is:
I DO NOT HAVE POISONOUS ARROWS.
PERIOD.
