The Plague Among Us: Diversum
As clouds cast shadow across the town and pour the water upon them. To them, it's just another normal day as the town don't see sun often. The water is running through the street, but it seems the street drinks it up faster than any more to come, as the carts are pulled comfortably by the animal that appear to be a horse as its six legs would gently stomps through dampy street. On the sidewalk under the lamp as its fire protected by glass mildly shines upon the sidewalk. The people would walk through each other until few of them suddenly stopped and mysterious looked at each other.
Yrren Vex: "... Soup Man?"
Soup Man: "Yeah, but I don't even remember coming here at all... And I don't even know you but somehow I do..."
Arcathfrahraek: "Not even going to ask why and how..."
The waterdrops began slow down until it stops completely as it can be seen floating as the crowds has froze. They came realization that it was magic at work which froze time. The lamp began brights and brights up enough to blind them temporary, then they saw that there is an entity looking at them that appear to be whitescreen to them. For some reasons, they couldn't stare at the white entity as their eyes would resist against attempt to look at it as if they are trying to look at the sun. Then, the echo of voice fills the town up;
"You people been chosen... To survive the plague to come, and you may destroy it before it even takes over, if you wish. You have 3 days remain before it comes, each of you can trust each other, as I assure all of you are not one of them. Keep this information to yourselves because once taken, the plague will know you people will survive this and you are threat to it. Be cautious. I will select more chosen people to come and listen to my voice to say they are chosen as you'd see them. Farewell."
They felt tiny thuds on their head, the waterdrops are falling as unchosen people walks as if nothing ever happened. It seems with just a blink, the bright already disappeared. Lamp just stands there as its glass barely shines the people up. They now have three days before whatever is it comes.
They have decisions are either to wait for it to come or they can prepare for it. Should they prepare, the question is how they do it.

A person what appears to be a goat as she would runs out of the store and screaming at the dragon and crying for the guards. Arcathfrahraek must make a choice to whether to keep guards at bay or he must split up the group and run away from the guards. Should he keep the guards at bay, the question is how he would do it.
* Arcathfrahraek will split from the group and be on the run.
* Arcathfrahraek will wait for the guards and face them down. [ This way will encounter the guards ]
* Arcathfrahraek will run toward the guards and face them down. [ This way will encounter the guards ]

The Soup Man would strolls into the food store in the corner just next to robbed store across the street. He'd reach into his backpack to have adventurer's soup out. It turns out he has other two more left and he don't have any spare ingredients nor something to cook with. However, as far as he could reach, he felt something cold and he'd pull it out. From the hand, he has 5 gold coins.
3× Adventurer's Soup (User's health will be restored by his/her half of hp max as his/her stamina will be maxed out.)
5 Gold
Even with that left, he'd offer the soup upon the people in the store. Two people walks to The Soup Man, the lizard said he is willingly to pay 2 Gold for single Adventurer's Soup and the tiger said she is willingly to pay 3 Gold for two Adventurer's Soup.

"The Robber Who Stole Sun?! Is he kidding?!" Male wolf exclaimed.
"This creature even shouldn't to exist at all!" Male bull guard scoffed.
"Okay, that's enough of it. Pull crossbows out and aim at it. Shot it down when it's in your sight." The guard that appear to be female eagle, whose is the officer of the guards.
"Line up!" The same male wolf shouted.
They'd line up as they prepares the crossbows as some of them struggles with pulling the small arrows whilst others loaded them effortlessly.
"Aim!" Female leopard screeched to rest of guards who have loaded. There are four aiming at Arcathfrahraek while other four are loading and will aim in few minutes, excluding the officer. Totaling up to 9 guards, they were prepared to arrest Arcathfrahraek. However, as he is being an insane, the guards have no choice but to take him down, kill if necessary. Suddenly, after Arcathfrahraek bloated, he jumped off the roof of laundry store and charges toward to the guards. Two of the guards screamed in terror as they would drop the crossbows and run away from the dragon they thought were fairy tale. Driven by survival instinct, four guards fired four arrows at Arcathfrahraek, each made of steel which is likely to break through Arcathfrahraek's thick scale.
