-Prolouge-
Surrounded. They'd been ambushed on the sixty second floor by a mob of cave trolls. They'd been careless. Set off a trap. The dreaded feeling of desperation and hopelessness grips Ash's heart as she realizes there is no escape. They'd been stupid to try and clear all the floors without the aid of a guild. The two of them had been living off sheer luck. And now their luck had run out. Ash watched as her health bar dropped to an alarming yellow and continued to inch away with every blow. "Liv this is impossible! We'll never make it!" she screamed as she blocked another attack. "Don't talk! Just kill!" Liv shouted, hacking at another troll. Ash could feel the last bit of her energy seep from her body. She dropped the tip of her sword to the ground panting, "I…. I can't. I can't go on. I can't do it!" Liv whirled around, smashing another troll to bits. "You have to Ash! You don't have a choice! We've got to keep going or-"
"Liv, watch out!"
…..
Time slows as Liv's HP bar dwindles from yellow to red to zero. Her eyes widen and she cries a silent scream. One of the trolls had struck the final blow while her back was turned. Ash reaches out to her sister, trying to grasp her hand. Liv trembles as she begins to fall. And then her body bursts into tiny shards of blue and float into nothingness. Ash stands staring at her empty hands while her younger sister disappears into thin air.
"Liv…. Liv….! NOOOOOOOOOOO!"
