The Elder began walking towards Lava and in the blink of an eye a small dagger appeared in Lava's hand and threw it at the Elders head,before the dagger could near the Elders head he had already stepped away.
"What a waste of time,say hi to your ancestors for me"
"That's funny I was about to say the exact same thing"
Immediately Lava stretched out his hand and the dagger which was going on an aimless search halted and came back at Lava with full speed but the Elder couldn't move on time and the dagger lodged itself in the back of the Elder.
But the Elder wasn't going to go down that easily and casted some healing spells, by that time Lava was already on his feet and was running towards the Elder. The Elder smiled at his naive behavior and summoned a spear and threw it at Lava's direction. Soon he heard the satisfying groan and the sound of a body hitting the ground.
The Elder smiled but paused to think of something, the sound of the thud felt a little bit heavy, the person he fought sounded a bit younger. Before he could complete his thoughts he felt a presence behind him followed by a mocking voice
"Missed me?"
Before he could react his head was already lying on the ground.
"Congratulations. You just completed the quest 'Hunt Down'"
Lava finally let out a sigh of relief and started walking back towards the mountains.
When Lava looked at his items tab he saw the name of the dagger as 'Recallable Dagger' meaning he could call it back, then he saw the teleportation staff he had taken from the Elder of his village and a plan had hatched in his mind.
But who had the Elder killed then, as if to answer his question a voice cried out,
"Help me"
"Will!! How did you get here?"
"After you ran off I followed you here and got this"He said pointing at the spear lodged on his shoulder.
Lava took off the curtain of the Elder's hut and carefully removed the spear and quickly wrapped the rag around his shoulder and with all the strength left in his body carried Will to the top of the mountain.
"Why did you run of like that,why are you covered in blood and what happened to my son?"Chief Alu said after some warriors had taken Will from his shoulder.
"Because I went to kill the Elder of the Flame beasts and I am covered in his blood and your son got hit by the Elder's spear"
"The Chiefs seek your presence at the village center"A warrior said.
After walking for a few minutes Lava finally reached the village center.
Immediately healers of all kinds attended to Lava and soon he was walking like his face wasn't on fire.
"Thank you all for coming,first of all I would like to thank the hero who saved our lives and those of our future generations, Lava and all the other warriors who participated in the war. Today shall therefore be known as 'Lava Day'" Chief Gaf said.
"And as a thank you gift you are hereby given permission to explore the outside world but before you go have these" Chief Gaf said bringing out two ancient looking chests with dragons engraved on them.
"Do not open this one until you have won your first battle"He said pointing at the older looking chest.
"You may now go"
"What about the villagers of the Flame beasts village"
"They are now a part of us"
Satisfied,Lava touched the scroll and was immediately teleported away.
"Visit us soon"
"Goodbye"
"Goodbye Lava"
"Make us proud"
