The pitter patter of a bird bouncing on a table echoes through the Inn. There sits a man in pure black armor dangling a seed on a string around this chubby cockatoo, whose legs seem to be much to long for something this small, and its eyes like little black buttons, and feathers white like snow, in what almost seems like boredom. Voices can be heard arguing outside the Inn, the man proceeds to pick up the cockatoo and place it on his shoulder as he makes his way to a window. Outside there are three kids picking on a small girl. The moon light shines down on the street as the man just sits by the window, observing.

"What's wrong? no one to run to, you little street urchin!" said the tallest boy. "Don't get to close, my mom said everyone she touches always loses a family member." mocked in the smallest boy. "Makes sense, I bet it's her fault her parents died then too!" "SHUT UP!" echoed the girl as tears, made entirely of what seems to be space, fly down her face. "SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT" as she screams she raises her hand and the sigil for space forms infront of her "UP!" in a blink, the area in front of her is incased in a bubble of space. She flings her arms to the side as harshly as she can, and the bubble pops sending the boys down the road. Once they land they get up and scream as they run away in fear.

The man in the window lets out a small laugh as he gets up, and proceeds to his room in the Inn. He sets the chubby cockatoo down on a royal looking pillow, its long legs extend to make itself comfy as he starts to sit, its legs to completely hide in its feathers. As he walks towards the bed he raises his hand and the sigil for light appears. In a flash his armor is off, and he is in what seems to be a pink piggie onesie. The sound of guards patroling keeps the night at peace once more. On the outskirt walls of the town stands a man with silver hair, unique gauntlets, and grey armor with the sigil of Unknown engraved into the chest piece, but the most noticable thing is the six swords floating behind his back. Each seems to be comprised of different elements. Fire, Water, Earth, Thunder, Light, and Dark. A smile crosses his face, and in a gust of wind, he is gone.

At the center of town stands a giant pillar engrave with strange carvings and letting off a small purple glow. Above it, it generates an invisible shield protecting the town. An alarm rings out from the pillar. The purple glow dissapears and releases a white glow. A voice echoes from the tower. "EVER EVACUATE THE CITY! THIS IS NOT A DRILL! WE ARE UNDER ATTACK! REPEAT! EVERYONE EVACUATE!" The voice is now just on repeat. On the outskirts of the town surrounding the shield is hundreds and hundreds of undead soldiers. On the inside stands a man in heavy armor wielding two giant great-shields, one engraved with a dragon and the other engraved with a tiger. He has black hair tied into a short pony tail, a thick beard, and a scar across his neck. Next to him is two other people. On his left is a woman with black long hair, with chain-mail armor. She is wielding gauntlet blades on each hand. On his right is a younger man with dark blue hair, with what looks like burned leather armor. He is wielding two flintlock pistols. One giving off a small white glow and the other gives off a black glow.

"Sir renkov, the barrier seems to be holding for now." says the woman. "Indeed, but you don't have to be formal here Jenko. What would your father think?" the man wielding the shields laughs. "Yeah I guess you are right, by the way are we missing someone?"

"Hm? Oh yes, Alerix was in the city. Should be here in..." before he finishes his sentence a sigil for space appears behind them, and the man with grey armor walks through, his floating swords are gone.
"Sorry for the wait, got a little distracted by some things. So whats happening on this end?"
"Well at the moment the shield is holding, dont know for how long though."
"It should hold for another few days." says the young man. "Lets hope thats true verik." says Alerix. "Well, lets pop this sucker open shall we?" Alerix says as he extends his arm and a metal pole appears in his hand, engraved with the unknown sigil wrapped around it, and clear crystals on both ends. Renkov smashes his shields together.
"Onward!" They all push into the town. Guards that pull up on them are brought down with ease with brute force of Renkov knocking them down and Verik and Jenko leaving a killing blow. Within minutes they surround the shield pillar.
