Spirit Heart

The Queen

Chris walked as far away as possible from the group but was quickly followed by Penndragon and Frewby. They quicky caught up to Chris, who was annoyed he couldn't figure out how to run yet. "Kazuya!" "Hey! Kaz!" "Kaz is a better name then Kazuya, Frewby." "It's shorter at least." Chris attempted to ignore then until he was caught by Frewby. "Relax." Frewby said, more annoyed that he was dragged along. "No one hates you. I mean, Keme probably does."

Chris forced himself away. "I don't care. I don't belong with them!" "Your action speaks louder then your words squire." "Actions don't speak, and don't fucking call me squire!" "Young Kaz, tis but a-" "I know that your words aren't literal! I'm not a idiot!" Frewby stepped closer to Chris, rubbing his head. "Relax. Just come chill with us." Chris backed away before sighing. "Ok. I'll come..." "That was... Easy... Let's go Penn." "YES! Let us return to the tabernacle for ale and meat!"

Frewby, Penndragon, and Chris returned to the group waiting for them. Keme rolled her eyes upon noticing Chris. "By the way, Penn. I never agreed to be apart of your guild." With that, Keme walked towards a building. "So... What exactly is the point of this game?" Chris asked, realizing he never finished the summary.

Everyone looked at at each other before looking at Zara. "Oh right. That comes next floor." Chris sighed and followed once be noticed everyone also heading into the bar. "Young squire-" Penn said, opening a door. "Welcome to our bar! Vallenfall!" Chris walked into a bar and noticed that it was pretty basic. "You named your guild after your bar." "We did." "Ok..."

"So. Shall we go kill the floor 4 boss?" Frewby asked, going behind the bar to grab a drink. "Don't worry." Zara responded. "Other players are facing the boss now." Chris sat at the bar, realizing that he joined the game a little later then he believed. "Does thou have a weapon?" Penndragon asked, taking a sip of his drink. "No." Chris shook his head. "You rammed into me 3 fucking minutes after I joined." "Ah. Sorry. I plan to become a blacksmith starting next floor-"

A message popped up on everyone's menu. Chris opened it. FLOOR 4 HAS BEEN DEFEATED. PLAYERS MAY NOW ENTER FLOOR 5

"Hark! The beast is slain! Onwards!" Penndragon grabbed Chris and ported, with everyone following suite. Everyone arrived in floor 5. NPC's were either silent or panicking. "What's going on?" Frewby asked, Looking around. "Something bad I think Frewby" Nutpelt responed, sarcastically. "Up there!" Griffin exclaimed, pointing upwards.

A women in high class clothing was lm her knee's atop a building. She looked at the croud but smiled. "King's wife Layla! Not our QUEEN but the kings current wife. Nothing more!" Chris noticed the one speaking was also a man in high class clothing but had a skull mask covering his face. "I hold you guilty of forcing the crown from me! You have any last words, whore queen!" Layla looked upon the crowd before focusing on Chris' group and smiling.

"My spirits. Do not fret. Although this traitor may have the spirit realm, my daughter, Princess Hana, is alive. Do not fear him. Do not cry for my death. But smile! Smile, as the heroes I called for have arrived. Smile, that the realm is plenty. Shed a tear at your daughters weddings. Shed a tear at the passing of a loved one. Shed a tear, as the days get shorter. But do not shed a tear for my death. I was nothing more then a stand in for the true queen. Princ... Queen Hana. Our daughter, and rightful heir to the throne." Layla looked at the masked man. "You were important to the king. But a king, you shall never truly be. My daughter is the rightful heir. Not you.

The masked man cracked his neck before responding. "I'll take care of Hana as well." The masked man lifted his blade, before slicing the queens head off, causing the crowd of NPC's to panic. Knights bowed to the masked man before they ported.

Chris looked at Zara and noticed the sad look on her face. "You ok?" Chris asked, concerned. "Sorry. I know I programed that, but it always hurt to see." "Shall we return to the tavern until this mess calms down?" Frewby asked. Everyone agreed and they ported back to Vallenfall.
