A few weeks ago
In a field, Emery watched as his party danced around a campfire. In his hand was Rye's coin, he passed it from one finger to another.
"He is using the forger's portal to move around," Emery whispered to himself.
"Lord Emery, are you okay?" Wrangler asked.
"Bring me the Betas," Emery said and they all stopped dancing. Murmer erupted as his party whispered to each other.
"Lord Emery, the Betas are you sure?" Wrangler asked hesitantly.
"Just do as I ask," Emery yelled and Wrangler whimpered. Emery noticed saliva sprayed onto Wrangler when he yelled.
The saliva ate through his skin like acid. Emery's hand turned gooey and he placed it on Wrangler's wound.
It started to heal immediately.
"Sorry," Emery said.
"Lord Emery is so kind," his party whispered to themselves.
A few weeks later
As Rye ran another body rose. As it also walked towards him he pointed his sword at it.
"Calm down, we are not going to hurt you," one of the bodies said.
"You are alive?" Rye asked lowering his sword.
"Yes, last I checked," a young man in a tailcoat said. Rye turned in the opposite direction.
"She is also alive," the young man said and Rye lowered his sword.
"You guys nearly scared us to death. Though I'm already deadO," the skull said and laughed hysterically.
"I am Kross and that's my sister Kriss," the young man said Rye turned to the girl dressed in a similar suit in yellow suit.
They both had a similar bob cut that made them look identical.
"What are you two doing here?" Rye asked and stepped back making sure he could see both of them.
"We got lost in the dungeon and were attacked by a monster. We thought we were dead but it seems we got lucky," Kriss explained.
'They might have been attacked on the first floor and brought here by the forger,' Rye thought.
"Can you please help us out of here?" Kross asked with sad bulging eyes.
"Sorry, but I'm lost here as well," Rye said.
'They may be only teenagers or even younger. How did they survive the first floor?' He thought.
They heard something being dragged. Kriss and Kross quickly hugged him. They quickly ran in the opposite direction and hid behind a huge wooden box.
The forger walked past them. Rye quickly ran to grab Ariya's body. As he was carrying the body Kriss bit him in the neck.
He pushed her away ripping a huge chunk of his neck away with her.
"Delicious," Kriss said as she smacked her lips.
Rye dropped Ariya and pressed his hand against his wound.
"What are you?" Rye asked as blood ran down his neck. Kriss smiled revealing her fangs.
"Vampires, vile creatures," the skull said.
Rye drew his sword with his left while keeping pressure on his wound with his right.
Kriss lunged a him and he swung at her.
"Not fair, it is my turn," Kross said and Rye started running. They slowed and chased after him. They walked glitching from time to time to catch up with him.
As he ran his vision blared. The walls swayed from side to side.
'Auto regeneration should have kicked in by now,' Rye thought as he staggered down the hallway.
