Chapter 3: Chapter 3. The Mission
"Nothing, we are just speaking about making our squad better", Joles said.
After the night died down, and the sun was rising from the horizon. Modez's master came to them with a request, as their first assessment test.
"Today you will be entering the southern part of the village. The Darak forest, we heard there is a commotion going on there, as the beasts are going rampant. It's your duty now to go and annihilate them", the master said.
They replied in unison"Yes" , as they stand with their hands on their chests, they all grouped up as they discussed what they needed for the Hunt in that day.
"Yooh! I need to go to the blacksmith, I want to buy some required stuffs. Modez care to show me the way, I don't want to roam around as time is of most value now", said Jender.
"Anyone else needs anything?, now it's the time to speak" said Modez, as he knew that they will have a long and treacherous journey from that day on.
"I need to go to the guild, I need some potions, what I have will not be enough for the journey" Joles said.
"Okay Joles the guild is just straight from here you will see the guild at the end of this road. And Jender, the blacksmith is just around that corner,infront of the shop, you will see a huge fountain with a sword on top".
As Modez was explaining everything to the other, he was thinking of going inside his house, to bid farewell to his beloved family, as he knew he had a long journey ahead.
"Okay as for others if nobody else needs anything, wait for me at the village gate. I will be there in a minute" Modez said.
As Modez entered his house, his wife was waiting for him as he opened the door, " Don't worry we will be okay, we will be waiting for your victory" Krista said.
"Take care of Kisa as I am away" Modez said. " I will, don't worry,he has grown up now, so you don't have to worry so much" Krista replied.
As Modez and Krista kissed, Kisa was sleeping soundly in his baby crib, without any other worries in the world.
Modez went in his room looked at Kisa, " Wait for Dad son, I will be back and stay strong" Modez murmured.
He took his armor made of iron, and he took his spear. As he was going outside, he looked at his wife and smiled, "I will be thinking about you" he said and left from his house.
Jender found the blacksmith shop and went inside, as he entered, the bell on the door produced a metallic sound, no one was on the counter. There was another bell on the counter so he rang it, it produced a metallic ding sound, a bulk man came to the counter from the back of the store.
The man was covered in soot as he rubbed it with the rug he was holding, "Ooooooh! welcome how many I assist you" the blacksmith asked.
"I need two high grade daggers, with their scabbards" Jender said.
There were some daggers displayed, but he could see they were only mid tier grade. And he needed the high tier ones. "There is no reason for me to refuse, as long as you can afford the coins" the bulk man said.
The blacksmith called Jender, as he was going at the back of the shop, Joles followed the man. They reached a wall, and the blacksmith took out a dagger from his pouch, and placed it on a block on the wall.
The dagger stuck to the block, like it was held with a magnet and a door appeared. On top of it, there were word written the 'dagger collector'.
They entered the door, as Joles entered, the door shut itself, and behold there it was, the daggers of high tier and above, Jender was amazed with the collection, but he maintained his composure.
"Choose the ones to your liking, and I'll give you the price" the blacksmith said. As Jender was looking, he got interested with the pair of daggers at the end of the counter, they were black in color, but they were shining at the same time.
He could not take his eyes off them they were not that pleasing to the eyes but he was like looking at a beautiful gem.
"How much for these" Jender asked, " Kid you can take that for seven silver coins" the blacksmith said.
Jender went inside his pockets and took out his pouch, he rummaged inside the pouch, he took out one gold coin, and gave it to the blacksmith.
This the blacksmith took out the daggers, "Here you are, I can see that you are not from here, as the face is new to me, I will give you the scabbards for free", as he gave him his three silver change, and the scabbards.
"Welcome again. If you need weapon, even an upgrade in weapon, come to the shop I will be happy to help, not free though" the blacksmith said.
"Thank you, I will come by when am in need with weapons" Jender said, as he was standing there looking at the daggers, like they were something beautiful.
The blacksmith came out of the counter and called his customer as he stretched his hand forward "they call me Drizz" the blacksmith said. "Jender" he replied as he shook the man's hand.
The blacksmith went to the door and opened it, Jender went out the shop, and was going to the village gate, while still looking at his daggers.
Joles went inside the guild house and straight to the counter " how many we help you" the lady at the desk asked.
"I need ten high tier magic potion,six middle tier mana restoration potions and six poisoning Virals" Joles said.
After he purchased everything he wanted and paid, he also went to the village gate, where he could meet with everyone else.
Joles was the last one to get to the gate, as he went far from the gate than anyone, as everyone was there, the time he reached the gate, they went outside the gate and started going.
