This is the second chapter of the retelling of the first Sword Art Online story arc from Asuna's perspective.  It was divided into three parts because of how long the chapter is. I do apologize for making this longer than I anticipated, but I think it was for the better because it made it easier for me to write it like this.  Enjoy the chapter, and please leave a review.
