The 4 of us were at a Tavern/Inn called “The Thick Panther,” We accompanied Senko and Amber to their room which was labeled 203

The room was very warm and cozy, the woodwork and craftsmanship of the furnitures was aesthetically pleasing in warm shades of red and brown.

“So this is where We’ll See you off for now?” Hakura asked Amber and Senko.

“Yeah the hunting trip was really tiring for Me~~” Amber was down for the count on the bed.

“Yeah, the thought of Ryuki dying nearly gave me a heart attack and I felt like dying.” Senko whined, only to get smacked by both Hakura and Amber.

“Pffttt~” I nearly broke down laughing.

“Anyway enjoy the festival you 2, Let’s meet up in game again tomorrow!” Senko broke his joker mood.

“Yeah we’ll make sure to buy a souvenir!” I happily said back.

“Amber, don’t let Senko overdrink his cheap booze.” Hakura Said jokingly.

“I make sure to hit him if he overdrinks!”

We shared a laugh together before going to the front door and the siblings logged off the game, to which Me and Hakura closed the locked door so only they can open it from the inside.

The 2 of us were alone for now.

“So~ shall we have your beginer attire salvaged and replaced?” Hakura sweetly asked.

Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

“Yep, Let’s enjoy the ceremony together too, but let’s also getb them both a souvenir!” I happily told Hakura as we both headed down the tavern’s inn and headed to the town’s market area.

The town was quite crowded with both players and npcs so the two of us stuck together quite closely at the town’s walls to which it had more wiggle room than the bussling streets infront of us.

The town was designed like a european medieval town where the streets are made of stones, the houses were very homey and cozy and the street lamps were that distinct shade of orange.

“Looks like getting to the blacksmith and armory might take us quite some time if the crowd doesn’t clear up anytime soon” I was very annoyed.

“Your right, we better wait this out a bit longer…” Hakura followed up on.

The 2 of us were alone, Hakura volunteered to accompany me to the blacksmith and armory to replace my old armor but due to the crowded area we couldn’t do much but wait together while watching the festivities.

45 minutes later while waiting it didn’t seem like the player and npcs that were crowding the place was gonna let up any time soon.

“Hey…” I muttered.

“Yes?” Hakura responded

“Thanks for waiting this out with me.”

“It’s no big deal, Amber was too tired and Senko is a lazy piece of shit, and I dont trust your bargaining skills to not get scammed in there.”

I cannot tell for the life of me if that was sarcasm or not. We continued to wait until something seemed to have caught Hakura’s eye from roughly 15-40 feet away…

“What’s wrong?”

“Ryuki, do you see those?”

“Yes I do…”

We were seeing players that ranged from level 4 all the way to levl 12 outside of the town’s safe zone with caged Coelophysis, gallimimus, neovenator, Riojasaurus, stegoceras, pachycepalosaurus, edmontonia, and Ornitholestes.

They were setting up camp 25 meters away from the town’s bridge and they were all dressed in shades of brown and green as if they were bandits.

“Are those poachers?” I wondered

“Those dinosaurs looked abused, harmed and starved. The game is less than a week old and there are already people playing around with the wildlife…” Hakura looked upset.

Hakura suddenly attempted to jump down from the town’s 25 feet tall wall down to the ground.

“Hey, what do you think you’re doing!?” I yelled at her.

“I’am going to save them! What else is there to do!? Ignore it and keep waiting for the crowd to lower?” She snapped back.

“If you’re implying this was about My armor being salvaged it isn’t, I’m just concerned with your safety.”

“Don’t try to stop me from saving them!” She was about to jump but I stopped her by holding on to her hand.

“If you’re gonna do this then I’m coming too!” I immediately equipped my ragged armor and prepared to jump too.

“No you are staying right here, your armor won't last long against those players! I’m level 8 their numbers are lower than mine and there are only 2 players that’s level 9 and 12!”

“If that was the case then I’ll just loot the armor off those same bandits that you are trying to stop.”

“Sigh… Alright let’s do this together then, let’s cover each other's backs!” Hakura pumped herself up while I just gave a confident smile as we both leaped down the wall and prepared to run across the town’s bridge fully willing to miss out on the festival just to save the dinosaurs.
