Keith'S P.O.V.

Everything was going just fine until I met the magician and ax fighter.

I'm a solo player. I don't do things like save people. Even when I hear a blood curdling scream coming from a dark forest. But for some reason, I decided it would be a good idea to go and find whatever was in danger.

So I brought out my long sword and headed out in the direction of the forest. I had only gotten a few yards in when I found the source of the noise. A huge grim reaper dragon was towering at least 30 feet in the air, cornering two figures. A small figure holding an axe at least the size of themself and a larger one, who was the source of the screams.

He was obviously trying to use a teleportation crystal but it must have been a blocked zone. The smaller one was try to doge the reaper, but with no luck.

I sighed, this is exactly why I never worked with others!

I swiped down in the air, pulling up my main menu. I only had one stun crystal left. Oh well.

The only issue was getting close enough to the reaper.

By this time the smaller player noticed me. I gestured to my crystal and then the reaper. I put my finger to my lips, hoping they got the message. They nodded and nudged the larger figure. They whispered something and the larger one stopped screaming only to now start shouting insults at the dragon, egging it on.

I prayed this would work as I slowly crept up hiding in the shadows. Luckily, I have a strong stealth skill. Almost maxed out.

I pressed the button on the crystal, knowing I had only 30 seconds before it went off.

"Come and get me! Or are you too slow and fat?!" I heard the larger figure scream at the reaper, not a good choice as the dragon could, in fact understand, and was not to happy.

"HUNK!" The smaller axe wielder yelled as the reaper swung its tail, almost making a Hunk-kabob.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" Hunk screamed. Wow, he has a nice set of lungs on him.

Okay, okay... I needed to not only take down this reaper but I also needed to get these two idiots out safely.

I took a deep breath and chucked the crystal up at the dragons face. Then I got the hell out of there.

I didn't look back as I sprinted out of the woods. I could hear the thumping of feet behind me as the two players ran after me, screaming obscenities at the roaring reaper.

I didn't stop until we made it to the center square. I fell down on the cobblestone, panting and clutching my side.

After I caught my breath, I got a better look at the other players.

The smallest one was wearing a green shirt and brown pants with a metal war helmet and an axe bigger than her.

The bigger guy was wearing a yellow cloak and had a rare item, a magic staff. His dark skin was slick with sweat a dirt from the struggle.

"Thank...you, for saving us.." the smallest one got out, still out of breath.

"No problem."

"My name is Pidge, and this is Hunk." Pidge said, nodding over at her companion.

I nodded at him and sheathed my blade.

"And you are...?" Pidge asked, taking in my outfit.

"Keith, solo player."

Hunk and Pidge acted like I had stabbed them. Hunk's eyes widened and Pidge made a noise like a mouse getting trodden on.

"What?!" I demanded.

"You , um... wouldn't happen to, ah, know a guy named..." she trailed off, scratching the back of her neck.

"WHO?!" I asked, now getting impatient.

"Umm, ahh..." Hunk tried to finnish, but he couldn't.

"WHO?!" Okay, now I was PISSED!

"Lance." Pidge spit out, not looking me in the eyes.

"Who the quiznak is that?"

"That would be me." a voice came from a shadow of a nearby building.

I looked over, trying to find the source of the voice.

A tall figure emerged from behind a inn, its arms crossed, walking nonchalauntly.

I squinted, a bell faintly ringing as the voice registered as familiar.

As the figure came into light, I could see it was definitely male and he had... ears?

"The name's Lance, I believe we've met before." He said, and again, I felt like I knew his voice.

It wasn't until he came into the square that I saw his face.

Oh ya, I knew this guy.

How could I forget the guy that almost got me killed?
