Dyme looked up at the poster. It was of him and his band. Barely anyone came to see him play at the bar. It was 9p.m. and he could finally go home. It was hard being a musician. It wasn't as easy and fun as Dyme thought it would be when he first realized his dream. His older siblings, Even and Arlene, always said he would amount to nothing, but he proved them wrong. His determination and hard work led him here, here to nothing. He followed the yellow brick road and there was no Oz at the end.
He was off to the lake like every night since nine years ago. He always swam there to help relax him and to help clear his mind. He set down his sitar and took off his shirt. He dived into the chilling pool. A shiver went up his back. Something didn't seem right, something seemed different. He soon forgot his hunch and he began to think about his life. The death of all those connected to Ansem the Wise disturbed him. His thoughts then shifted when he could have even sworn he saw something underneath the water move. He had believed Arlene and Even about a monster underneath the lake. He believed it for nearly nine years. He decided right then and there that he would stop being so gullible and so naïve.
A wave pushed him. That was new to him, the water was usually calm. He saw something move by his belongings. He swam back to land. When he arrived, he realized that his shirt was missing. Who would take that? he thought Maybe a fan girl! A grin spread all over his face. His happiness was interrupted as a giant heartless erupted from the water. It was a large body!
Dyme picked up his sitar and decided that if there was any time to grow up, this was it. He was going to stand up to it and fight. He charged and whacked the large body in the front with his sitar. It did nothing to it. It grabbed him and began to crush his body. The large body, with Dyme in hand, sank underneath the water. It was gone.
Dulro threw the dice once more. He had won once again. It was his tenth win tonight. He never remembered losing, but he was drunk half the time he gambled. Poker was his favorite to gamble on. He always had hands like royal flushes or straight flushes. He was often accused of cheating. He laughed at all threats of death because of cheating. Cheating was beyond his pride. He believed that a man should never cheat and if he is founded to be cheating then he should be hung. He looked at the clock before he left. It was 10p.m. He had a feeling that something would happen that night, so he rolled the dice on it, like always. "All right. I'll leave my fate to my luck!" Some dice were taken out of his pocket. "If it's lower than six, then good fortune will some, but if it is higher, then bad luck will happen." He threw the dice to the other side of the room. He laughed and left the bar with not bothering to look at what it said. It was a ten.
Dulro was met with an unexpected surprise when he was staggering down the street. A man was blocking his path. The man owned a pink scythe and pink hair. He said something about Dulro's luck changing and him dying for cheating. Dulro couldn't really make out his words. The only thing Dulro knew was that this other man was as assassin sent to kill him. Dulro took out his deck of cards as the other laughed at him. A virtual card popped up in front of Dulro. It seemed to change constantly at a fast rate. The card that would be shown would be completely random. The assassin charged and Dulro flipped the card. It was a King of Spades. The king stepped out of the card and started to fight the assassin. Dulro ran off. He remembered the man now that some of his senses were coming back. His name was Auramil. Dulro has heard many stories about him. He was commonly referred to as "The Graceful Assassin".
He broke into a clock factory to hide. He ran behind and ducked under a desk. The front door swung open. Everything went silent. Dulro was perplexed about why Auromil wouldn't come inside looking for him. The desk he was under flew into the air. Dulro spun around. Floating there was an air pirate. Dulro cowered into a corner and took his deck out. He flipped the virtual card and it showed a two of hearts. The air pirate slashed threw the two of hearts and clung to Dulro. It covered him with it's wings. It opened up it's wings, and Dulro was not there.
