(( Bentley’s P.O.V ))

I gasped out looking at the mirror in my hands, i-I saw me?.... no longer the avatar that hide my identity. The people around me all looked as surprised as I did, why would Keith Losanger creator of Swords and Shields Online do this?, why would he trap all of these people……why would he risk all this and risk losing everything if he was caught. The feeling in my stomach was strange and I didn’t like it, I looked up at him intently as he spoke once more “ …now… all of you are probably thinking that your family members or roommates can come and just unplug the helmet….. sadly more than three hundred players have been killed from being unplugged….so the only way to survive is to stay alive here and defeat all one hundred floors…”, there were a course of gasps as some muttered out discouraging words knowing that that may not be possible to do. He laughed a bit “ silly players shouldn’t have left out the rules….. “, my eyes were wide as I thought to myself “ three hundred…..? “, the image of Aryess unplugging the helmet without knowing played through my head as I felt queasy inside. “ Now…. Good luck players….. ill leave the rest up to you……. “ he spoke out finally as he faded into sparks that shimmered all around me and everyone else that stood in the plaza. People stood there wide eyed, while others fell to their knees crying, and while some yelled angrily thinking and hoping it would do them some good. I felt my knees tremble slightly...... i-i was scared.....something I haven’t felt in a long time and could actually admit….., but then the sudden thought appeared in my head thinking about Aryess, my grey eyes softened and i balled my hand into a fist, “ this is all real…… if I die here ill be dead in the real world….. im going to survive…..” I breathed out softly to myself. “ Im going to surivive…..” I reassured myself once more, I finally got my legs to move as I sprinted into the town as everyone continued to stand in the plaza trying to comprehend, I ran as far as I could away to become as strong as I could, I ran away for you Aryess….. to come back to you and be safe and warm in your arms once again………

(( Silvers P.O.V ))
I frantically looked around for him, he had to be here somewhere I wanted to scream for him but couldn’t bare to make my voice shout over everyone elses, tears clouded my eyes I had to protect him and keep him safe, I had to keep him safe.......i had to. Tears clouded in my eyes, I couldn’t tell if it was from fear or discouragement. What else could I do, where else could I go?. I had to be strong enough and find him…. I just had to……., I finally breathed out and fell to my knees and gripped my head. She looked around her finally failing to see him, it was a lot harder then she had imagined. A lot harder to find someone in a video game……..

He ran through the fields as fast as he could, he had no intention of giving up. His grey eyes gleamed under his black hair as in front of him far off in the distance, he saw it. The town of Time shinning with the sunset behind it. His eyes suddenly fixed on where a growl came from as he saw a lion generate in front of him, he growled angrily pressing on running at the lion as it ran at him, the lion pounced at him as he reached into his back shealth pulling out his black sword and sliced through the lion with such force that it disappeared in sparks, he breathed heavily stopping in his tracks and flipped his sword back in his shealth. “ I’m coming back Aryess….. just give me time……okay…? “ he breathed out continuing his way into the distance of the sunset.

“Life is beautiful
We love until we die

When you run into my arms,
We steal a perfect moment.
Let the monsters see you smile,
Let them see you smiling.

Do I hold you too tightly?
When will the hurt kick in?

Life is beautiful, but it's complicated.
We barely make it.
We don't need to understand,
There are miracles, miracles.

Yeah, life is beautiful.
Our hearts, they beat and break.

When you run away from harm,
Will you run back into my arms,
Like you did when you were young?
Will you come back to me?

I will hold you tightly
When the hurting kicks in.

Life is beautiful, but it's complicated,
We barely make it.
We don't need to understand,
There are miracles, miracles.

Stand where you are.
We let all these moments pass us by.

It's amazing where I'm standing,
There's a lot that we can give.
This is ours just for the moment,
There's a lot that we can give.

It's amazing where I'm standing,
There's a lot that we can give.
This is ours just for the moment,
There's a lot that we can give “
