The journey had begun, this was not the tough part though, that was the great beast that was ahead.
On the way the Knight had seen three figures along the path to the volcanoe, two of which seemed to be arguing
"Listen Gréz! If we kill it I get the head!"
"Torg I will get the head, I deserve the trophy because I am stronger than you!"
As the distance between the Knight closed he saw that the two arguing were orcs, both were red skinned fire orcs and the figure next to them was an Elven figure
"Orcs, let us wait till after the great beast is dead to discuss such matters."
"Hallo!"
The orcs turned to see where this voice came from to look at the Knight who had a cheery look on his face
But to the Knight he felt like a small child despite being very tall for a human, 7 feet tall, the orcs were hulking figures with bulking muscles around 8 feet tall, and the elf was 9 feet tall
"Hello human Knight, I am Torg the greatest orc warrior!"
Gréz cut in almost immediately after Torg
"And I am Gréz the most greatest orc warrior!"
"I am Jin I am assuming that we are all here to attempt to defeat this great Dragon, I look forward to working with you."
During this talk they continued to walk, you may be wondering why Jin is not riding a horse, that is because laws had banned the use of horses in adventures because many thousands of years before horses were brought by people attempting to attain power and almost always their horses did not make it through the mission, certain breeds of elves can talk to animals which have enough power to become intelligent beings and because beings could be intelligent not only did they express their viewpoint to that breed of elves which held power in laws but also the horses had become more stubborn and thought it as suicide. Of course only certain animals can even gain intelligence not only because breed but if you are too low on the food chain your chances are near to none.
The elf spoke now
"If you attempt to back-stab just because our differences later, think twice."
This comment had made the Knight mad, he had never been one to do such things and this passive aggressive elf is already trying to tick him off and blame him
"Same to you"
Then Jin whispered to the orcs
"What is the Elfs problem?"
The two had seemed to wonder the same thing and shrugged
The journey continued now
After a few hours a horde of Sabre Tooth Wolves attacked, these beasts were just barely smaller than a full grown horse in size and hunted in packs of 4-6, in this case there was 4
Gréz and Torg immediately rushed in to battle, Torg had a huge blade connected to a large blacksmiths hammer by a black silver chain, he first knocked the hammer into the beasts Jaw without holding the rounded crescent moon looking blade then he rounded his hammer which pulled the blade in the direction of the beats head, and when he struck the back of the blade with his hammer it had sounded like an explosion and the blade cut straight through the beasts neck as if it was warm butter
Gréz on the other hand used a thick gauntlet on one hand and a scimitar looking blade which was very thick nearer to the back of the blade on the curved part which had made the weight more on the top which in turn
brothers clean tactics, this brother had punched the upcoming wolf which charged him with his gauntlet, this had sent a shock through the Knights body, not only because he punched it, but because he could hear the bones crack and saw the beasts jaw become dislodged, the beast then attempted to scurry off but with his other hand he brought down his scimitar like weapon with great force, which had chopped the back of the beast but not cut straight through, then he began to hack at the first cut with incredible speed
Now Jin had rushed into battle, his weapon was a one-handed sword in his right hand and a sword breaking dagger in his left which had incredible durability, on his back he carried a shield and a sword in its sheathe, as he rushed he cast one of the skills he had gotten from his travels, which had increased his speed three-fold, he had dodged the first beast charging him and chopped at it's neck with his sword, this had suprised the Knight as it's pelt was incredibly thick and durable. The beast whipped it's head to face the knight and he, while it did so, swapped his weapons in their hands, and shoved the sword breaker in the back of the beasts gums so it could no longer close it's jaw, and in that moment he thrust his sword into the wolfs mouth anf stabbed the brain, afterwards removing his weapons from the wolf.
The other two beasts flanked the left side, where the orcs and elf were closer, the elf had cast a skill which had caused the wolf to charge the other and they fought for a moment and Torg finished the remainer off.
"We should rest when we get closer to black-diamond-mountain, and what is that hammery weapon called torg?"
"I agree, and this is called a Dual-Dragon. I had recieved it as an inheritence and trained directly under my father, what is that little knife?"
"This sword was found in some ruins I ventured in, it can be used to break swords it blocks."
"What of the shield and sword on your back?"
"Ah, this is called a bokken, it is a tough wooden sword basically, one of my skills allows me to encase my body and it turns out what I'm holding as long as it is or was alive in an armor."
"Hey little brother, aren't you gonna ask about my weapon?"
"Sure, what's the name of your weapon?"
"Fine eye haha, this is a weapon I crafted once becoming a master blacksmith, I had actually gotten the materials for the weapon myself when I went out on an adventure many years ago, this adventure was actually gone on because I wanted to impress a traditional orc maiden, and you already know how they are...."
This had gone on for a long, long while, and believe it or not the Knight never learned the name of this weapon combo even after the orc was done talking!
