Many nights have passed by our heroes in their journey after visiting the village of Cyru, But everyone still held their heads high in high spirits determined to complete their goals.
Ari was slightly better than before, being able to walk now she can easily keep up with Astra and Kai on their adventure.
"So.." Ari tried to start a conversation as they walked through an open field prepared to go to their destination.
"What commission are we doing?" Both Kai and Astra turned around simultaneously facing Ari faces as confused as can be.
"Commissions?" Astra questioned.
"You're an official adventure team are you not?"
Both Kai and Astra nodded in unison.
"Good-....so what commission are we doing today-" Ari asked again.
"We have to do commissions?" Astra asked blatantly.
Ari hits herself in the face with her palm, she couldn't believe that this was the team she joined.
"Well we need to go to a guild in the next city." Ari informed.
"You won't grow as an adventure team otherwise, so in short your rank will stay the same."

Night began to roll around the corner once again forcing our team of adventurers to stop and set up camp once more.
Given the opportunity they opened the map Kai walked with to find their next location.
Astra pointed to a city nearby that looked like a nice place to stop at.
"This is pretty nearby, wouldn't this be a great place to rest?"
Ari disagreed with this.
"Yea but the cave we have to go through is pretty dangerous, not to mention this place is ruled by one of the chairmen."
"Chairmen?" Yet another thing Ari said that confused Astra.
"Chairmen…the people we fought earlier each chairman has a city or village the size depends on his status they are six chairmen in total"
Ari raised up six fingers as she explained.
"There were supposed to be a seventh but plans changed ever since that battle he most likely died somewhere."
"I wonder who did that…." Astra said whilst looking at the map.
The area was silent for a while; only the mutant crickets could be heard in the distance.
"So then Ari.. where do you suggest we go?"
Ari pointed to the map once again but this time to a place that seems far off west.
"Bryxton Town-" Ari said as she pointed to the place on the map.
"Yes, the path is safe and the chairman there is weak even if he does spot us we should have an easy time."
Both Astra and Kai nodded.
"And when we're there we do our first commission." Astra said hyped for that moment.
Kai sighed.
"you are the boss…"
"I can't wait to use my magic on something!" Astra was beyond excited.
"Didn't you use it to defeat a chairman?" Kai asked with a smirk on his face.
"I was unconscious for most of it, you know that!" Astra responded.
As the two of them talked on and on about what happened Ari looked at Astra with a face that only screamed astonishment.
'She beat a chairman while unconscious?' She thought to herself as she stared in disbelief.
'Maybe' she kept thinking.
'Maybe for the goal I'm trying to achieve i…made the right choice after all.'
