Chapter 15: Thieves Among Us

The resistance faces a new threat as rogue players—thieves—begin to prey on their ranks, seeking to steal essence and abilities.

The New Threat

Reports of attacks by rogue players filter in, causing unrest among the resistance. These thieves target weakened players, killing them to steal their essence and abilities.

"We cannot allow this to continue," Aric states, his voice filled with anger. "These thieves undermine everything we fight for."

Aria nods, her expression grim. "We must root them out and protect our own."

Hunting the Thieves

Aric and Aria, along with a select group of elite fighters, embark on a mission to hunt down the thieves. They track the rogues through the wilderness, using their knowledge of the terrain to their advantage.

"Their tactics are cowardly," Aric mutters, his eyes scanning for any signs of their prey. "But we will find them."

Aria's gaze is sharp and focused. "And we will make them pay for their betrayal," she vows.

A Deadly Confrontation

The confrontation is swift and brutal. The thieves, though skilled, are no match for the combined might of Aric and Aria. The siblings' abilities as Dragon Emperor and Dragon Princess give them a decisive edge.

Aric's sword cleaves through the air, striking down a rogue player. "This ends now," he declares, his voice filled with finality.

Aria's blade dances with deadly precision. "We protect our own," she asserts, her eyes blazing with determination. "And we will not be cowed by those who seek to exploit us."
