The sounds of metal and leather clanging hard on the streets as two figures were in full sprint.
"DAWNSTAR! WE DONT HAVE ENOUGH TIME WE HAVE TO GET AHOLD OF AS MANY PEOPLE AS WE CAN!" Cried out one of figures to the other covered in bright metal armour.
"YOU DON'T HAVE TO TELL ME TWICE DARKSTAR YOU TAKE THE LEFT AND I'LL GO RIGHT BROTHER!" Dawnstar yelled back at her brother who was beginning to move much faster as he was only wearing dark leather and chain mail armour. The city was large and they didn't know how much time they had left.
Darkstar passed by a place named the Weathercock Pavillion and saw two men sitting outside one looking at a map, the other talking to him with his hands in his pockets.
"Hey! There's something going on outside of the safe zone, follow this path to where you can see the hill, something is happening and we need people, it could be player killers!" He said as he grabbed at the man before slamming open the door and repeating what he said to the man. He then took off without time for a reply. He couldn't wait, people had to know.

Dawnstar looked around for a place where there would be playing characters and saw a shop "Flawless Sword" it said, she ran into the building crashing through the door and saw two people there.
"Something's happening outside the safe zone of the city, it could be player killers! We might need your help!" She shouted turning and leaving as quickly as she came in and continued yelling the same thing trying to reach as many people as possible.
Darkstar and Dawnstar both ran for some time and reached as many people as they could until they heard something like a megaphone activate. Oh no! We might be too late! they both thought and headed back to the edge of the city still yelling at people. A large number of NPC's had gathered there already.
They saw eight figures on the horizon, five of them were standing cloaked from head to toe, the two on either side were by far larger than the three in the middle, and then there were three that were on their knees with sheets over their heads, their life bars indicating that they were dangerously close to
0 hp. Darkstar and Dawnstar headed to the front of the crowd.
The figure in the middle began to speak, the voice of a man roared through the crowd.
"My fellow players, it has been a long time since we were first chosen to be a part of this game. Many of you have become great warriors, with legendary stories of victory and reputations that far exceed that of which you had in your previous life. So why would you want to leave such a place. By continuing to try to end this game you are bringing yourselves closer to becoming the shadows that you once were.
I for one wish to stay in this game, and as you can see I have others that agree with me that are here today and many more of you that are on the brink of giving up this fight, just needing some guidance. And then there are those who won't give up." He said as he lifted the sheets from the three people who were on their knees, one was a woman about the age of twenty with brown hair clad thin armour, the second was a man in his twenties as well with a full beard and red hair. The third was a girl, just barely out of her teens, crying could be heard before she was silenced.
"These three individuals were part of the front line, they thought that by continuing the fight they would be contributing to something. They want our stories to end, and we can't have that can we. So we have to make an example to all of you front line players, stop this ludicrous mission and just live out your lives in the splendor that is this world." He continued on as he began to walk in front of the three. When his hand reached out to touch the crying teenager, you could see large claws coming from it. "Now let them hear you scream." He said as he ran the blade across her throat, watching as her last hp past the 0 point and he body became pixels, with screams being the last thing she said. The other two cried out in horror.
"You bastard!" The man said.
"Please! Haven't you done enough? They get the message!" Cried the woman.
Their cries could be heard through the crowd. Darkstar and Dawnstar gripped their weapons and readied to run.
"May your sacrifices be worthy for The Gates of Hell..." was the last thing they heard before a rapier and another sword stabbed through the two remaining people. Their life bars fading to 0 and their bodies turned into pixels, scattering in the wind.
The four cloaked figures walked off into the distance behind the hill and disappeared from view. The fifth figure lingered, the one that spoke. Dawnstar and Darkstar both made a sprint to the hill. But then pixels began to distort around the figure as he laughed, still being able to be heard through the crowd. In a matter of seconds the distorted pixels seemed to overtake him as his figure disappeared from site. The two reached the top of the hill only to see nothing but the last of the distorted pixels disappearing from their site, the others were also long gone now hidden in the forest. The two stopped in horror.
"What the fu... How is that even possible sis! He just disappeared into thin air, it's impossible!" Cried out Darkstar looking at his sister.
"I don't know, but it's not something that was programmed into the game, we might be in over our heads brother." She replied as they stood there on the top of the hill. Darkstar rubbing the back of his head with his left hand and his group tightening around his glaive with his right hand. While Dawnstar felt the floor where the figures had been and looking on into the forest.
