He just smiled and shook his head at his partners exuberance. "Let me know how it taste." He looked around wondering off, something felt strange about the party. It was probably the fact that he was experiencing it rather then seeing it from a third person point of view.

"Greetings Warriors." The King stood up suddenly followed by the rest of the royal family. He gave a brief introduction and welcomed every one to the official closed Beta of the game. Grim payed it no mind as it continued to ramble on, but the growing feeling in his stomach continued. He watched the king, for some strange reason it appeared as if he were glitching. The others around him started to notice it too, but they were distracted by the things to come. A dark cloud bubbled up from the center of the room, and the same strange man from the introduction laughed evilly as he solidified. The figure bellowed the cliche villains anthem. "Foools" He spun around, rather then kidnapping the princess like he was suppose to the figure stabbed the king, drawing out a crystal from his chest. It glowed a brilliant color red. The Queen let out a horrible shriek. It reminded Grim, that even in this virtual world, some one had to control the npc's. Many in the room surged to fight the black clothed figure including the prince beside his father. He was too late to stop his fathers strange circumstance and it seemed even more powerless to stop the black clothed figure from using a binding spell and capturing him.

Many of the other figures surged forth to help the prince, realizing that the story had gone wrong but the pair had disappeared roughly in the same manner that they appeared. The game had officially begun and yet the players had not been given many clues. Grim snorted and went to go find Tsu.
