It had yet to break dawn when Arcin woke up her injuries still hurt but they were not as serious as it was yesterday. She gathered up her things and placed the sleeping Saisako in the hood of her cloak. She brought out her staff once again and begun walking through the forest humming. She made her way towards the town beasts didn't attack her so it was like a peaceful stroll through the forest for her.
As she was walked a bird suddenly flew over and landed on her head. It then just sat down and got comfy. "Do you wish to come with me? I'm heading to the city nearby." Arcin asked, and the bride replied with a chewing sound. "Alright if you want to come with me. Can you land on my arm so I can look at you and give you a name?"
Holding out her arm the bird jumped from her head to her arm. It was a fairly small and slightly fluffy bird. it was a warm colouration with some reds and yellow though it's also had a large potion of its body covered with black feathers. I could then see the birds status.

"A phoenix… I wonder if you where sent especially since your rarity, level, and skills. If that's the case Higher beings really favour me. Well it doesn't matter you a very handsome bird and having your help would be useful. I'll give you the name Pyre welcome to the team."
It replied pleased and returned to the top of her head. Arcin continued her walk further in through the forest morning was starting to break when from the bushes something raced out.
From the bushes two figures raced out and hid behind Arcin. The from the bushes came out a group of people appeared. In Arcin's eyes they had a dark mist around them. Though one person of the 3 was not covered in this mist. "Give me those beasts."
"Why should I give them over to you?"
The none mist covered what surprised that Arcin didn't follow what they said. "What? How? Tsk, it's better to kill the defective Cruwan to get ride of any potential problems. Attack her." They ordered and the two mist covered people jumped at her. Arcin quickly was ready to fight as she spun her staff and slammed it into the two guys one forming a blade on the end of the staff stabbing the person through the chest she then flicked the body at the man that gave the orders before spinning around and spinning the staff around her shoulders and cutting off the others head.
The body fell to the ground as blood quickly begun to pool. The person then pushed the person she tossed over at him before she cut that in half with ease as well. She then pushed off the ground with a large amount of force and kneed the person in the chest taking them to the ground. Arcin stood on there chest before nocking off their masks she then pointed the tip of her blade at their face. "Not even a challenge."
"Now answer me what is it that you want these 2 beast for? You wouldn't be chasing them for no reason especially when you are not a summoner." Arcin asked having already checked their status menu. She pressed the blade into their skin causing blood for begin to form.
"As if something like that wound get me to talk."
"Oh ho ho ho oh?! A tough one eh? They are always the most fun to break… Its been soooo long since I've last headed an… investigation. Try not to break too soon." Arcin smiled with a wicked grin and evil glint in her eyes.
She stabbed the staff into their shoulder pinning them to the ground as the pulled out her knew weapons a set of blades she stabbed the longest blades into his legs pinning them as well as she then stabbed the shorter blades into his arms and hands. "You ready to talk yet?" She asked as the guy replied be spitting in her face. She had a dark smile as she begun to twist the blades in his hands.
After 10 minutes that guy finally gave up. "The leader said they are part of what's needed to unlock some cave. The one is a rare colouration and the other is a rare beast from another country that travels in packs."
"What's in the cave."
"I-I don't know. I wasn't told. All I know is that it is something important. Maybe a keystone."
"Hmmm a keystone… that's new. I'll find out what it is later. However you are no longer useful to me."
"S-so you are letting me go."
"Pahahahahah! When did I ever say that. Have a nice time in hell."
"Wait wait! Why are you doing this?!"
"Cause you messed with the wrong person. I'm the leader of the Lynch clan… ie someone you don't want to get on there bad side."
"Fuck you, you bitch! When the great Mundus is released and destroys it all he will bring forth salvation to his followers and destruction to his enemies! The gods have left us! All that remains is Mundus! HAHAHAAHAH!"
"Shut up you fucking cultist nut job. I'll be sure to kill Mundus just like I'm to kill you."
With that Arcin slide her blade across his neck staying there as she made sure he bleed out. She then removed all her weapons cleaning the blood off the blades not perturbed or bothered with what just happened. "Pyre destroy the corpse we best not leave a race of them." Arcin muttered as she finished cleaning the blood off her. Flames them begun to coat the bodies and Arcin turned to the two beast that still remained by here side.
"A Wild Feline, and a Black Wolfhound. High level clearly not from this area. They must have captured them and they escaped during transport." Arcin muttered crossing her arms in thought. The one then walked over to here. "Hmmm?"
The black Wolfhound begun to pull on her cloak looking at her with pleading eyes. "You want me to take the two of you home… I'm no charity case… however if you become my summons I'll have no problem with dropping you off when we arrive where you live."
The two looked at one another for a moment before stepping forward. "'I really thought they would give up. Quiet determined alright I guess I shouldn't only rely on the beast that the gods had sent me anyways I am a summoner after all.'"
"The Black Wolfhound your name is now Yuna, and the wild Feline is now Shin."
Arcin then made here way to the city and reaching the city outskirts she sent Yuna and Shin to her element space where summons can rest while leaving Pyre and Saisako out since they had Abilities to hide information.
'So now I have Yuna of the Dark element, Shin of the Plant/Physic elements, Pyre of the Fire/Calamity/Air elements, and Saisako of the spirit/all elements. I guess camping out was a real haul then. But no matter… I wonder what I'll run into next… hopefully I don't need to kill anyone anytime soon.'"
