Yuan and Hi finish up training. They go to eat with the elder and by that time it´s already sunset. "Geez, the time passed quickly today!" Hi tells Sozin. "That means you had fun come on now say your farewells we´re leaving for the smithy and after that back to guild headquarters!" Sozin tells Hi. "Village elder, thank you for your generous hospitality. It´s time we departed!" Hi tells them all. "So with this it´s farewell!" Sozin tells them. "No, we should thank you for dealing with our trouble! Farewell may we meet again sometime." the edler says. "We´ll definitely meet again, Hi!" Yuan tells him. "I have no doubt we will!" Hi says as he leaves with Sozin. "Now let´s hurry to the smithy and get out of here!" Sozin tells Hi dashing to the smithy. They arrive shortly and the blacksmith´s apprentice waits outside and let´t them in. "We just got done come in and take your new gear!" he says leading them inside. "You´re here just in time help Hi get in his armor! The swords are on the counter take tham i just finished sharpening them." the blacksmith tells them. Sozin takes his longsword, a long sleek black sword with a crossguard and a diamond shaped pommel, and his shortsword, a black arming sword with crossguard and pommel they both come with scabbards. Sozin secures them on his belt and on his back with some straps. Sozin sheathes the longsword and admires it. "It´s nice and thin but still as durable as my other greatsword made specifically for hunting." Sozin comments. Hi gets in his armor with the apprentice´s help. "This armor is really light i´m surprised. Can´t quite see through the helmet but i´ll get used to it!" Hi comments on his armor he takes off his helmet, the armor is black and western oriented and the helmet is slitted and has two pointy ears on each end similiar to that of the black birds his red hair compliments the black armor well. Hi looks at his swords and is surprised by their quality. "These swords are really something else. Before i had never used a western sword but if master likes them so do i! It´ll do nicely the crossguard will come in handy and the weight distribution is perfect and not topheavy like my tachi i had. It´s lighter than the other greatsword you made for me!" Hi tells the blacksmith. "I´m glad you like it, now scram you have more jobs to do!" the blacksmith tells them. "Then we´ll get going, Farewell!" Hi says. "Farewell!" Sozin says as well. They leave the smithy and the village via their teleportation stone. They teleport back to the capital to the guild headquarters.
Back at the guild headquarters they bag in their monetary rewards for the quest. "We finished our quest, now please give us our reward." Sozin tells the guild gal in charge of rewards. "Good hunting out there here is your reward!" she says giving them a small bag with gold and silver coins. "Thank you!" Sozin says and goes back to Hi. "Hey, Hunter some tempel ritter are waiting for you back there!" she adds as Sozin leaves. "Hey master who are those tempel ritter anyways?" Hi asks Sozin. "The tempel ritter are a special force tasked with slaying demons by the church they post quest´s here recruiting hunter´s to assist them in slaying demons. They need all the manpower they can get there aren´t many and they are always busy!" Sozin explains. They look at the tempel ritter sitting at a table. There are three in total sitting there, one is sitting there and drinking some tea, the other two stand guard behind them in heavy shining armor, wearing some clothes on top with the churches symbol on it. They have a spear with a crossguard and he banner of the churches symbol and have a heavy executioner sword for finishing off demons or as a back up weapon. Hi and Sozin both approach. "If it isn´t the hunter´s Hi and Sozin, we´ve been waiting for you!" the one at the table says and stands up to properly greet them he shakes their hands. "Pleasure to meet you !" Hi says reluctantly. "You are here for a reason. Tell me about it!" Sozin demands. "Slow down! Why don´t we sit down for a chat and some tea!" he tells them sitting down and pouring them a cup. "I don´t really like tea!" Sozin tells him. "Suit yourself then!" he says. "We have received information that you and your apprentice slayed a bunch of demons and an archdemon can you verify this?" he asks Sozin. "I can." Sozin responds. "Good then we have an offer for you!" he answers. "What is it?" Sozin asks. "It´s simple you help us kill some demons and you receive the allowance to hunt demons from the church! Every hunter needs that allowance from the church otherwise it is punished by the church. The church will hold responsibility if a hunter cannot fulfill their needs. So you don´t have a choice either we punish you for killing some demons or you comply!" he explains. "I already have one!" Sozin says holding up a medallion with the church simple and written in small letters it says that he is allowed to hunt demons in the name of the church. "That medallion is quite old you must have received it a while ago. Anyways that doesn´t change the fact that your apprentice doesn´t have one." he adds on. "You have a deal!" Hi says. "Great now that that´s out the way allow me to introduce myself: Lucius tempel ritter commander." he says, he is a western man with blue eyes and blond hair , these types of men are considered the handsomest in the holy kingdom of light. "Nice working with you!" Hi says. Sozin finishes his tea. "Then we´ll go now to help clean up some demon´s!" Lucius says and leaves the guild headquarters along with them and his comrades.
They head through the capital to the main gates located in the north. Out the maingates you can see farmland everywhere and some horsestalls right outside for travel. Merchant´s caravans go in and out of the capital. "Five horses please!" Lucius tells a guy managing horse rentals. "Of course they were just grazing back there!" he says pointing them to the horses. Lucius and the tempel ritter get on. "How far are they?" Sozin asks him. "Just northwest a lord´s territory has been overrun right in the middle of the country! Few hours on horse!" Lucius explains. "Oh then we won´t need horses. We´ll run there will make for some nice training!" Sozin says warming up. "Are you really going to run in that armor?" Lucius asks Hi. "This ways nothing so no problem i gotta listen to master!" Hi explains warming up as well. "You really are a crazy team!" Lucius tells them. "We´ll be going ahead then!" Sozin says running forth with Hi. "Follow them!" Lucius says riding his horse next to them. "Amazing you´re keeping up with the horses!" Lucius comments.
After a few hours they arrive at the lord´s territory. It was ravaged by demon´s and monsters. They castle is in flames and the village nearby in shambles. "I´ll go on ahead and scout the area!" Sozin tells Lucius dashing off and jumping on a a tower near the fort. He comes back down. "Approximately Seventeen demons, probably one archdemon somewhere and a lot of monsters such as goblins and a couple of wyverns rampaging around!" Sozin tells them. "What´s the plan?" Hi asks. "We are less in numbers. We´ll need to think about how to kill them whitout being overrun." Lucius ponders. "Me and my apprentice will go inside the fort and open the gates and kill the monsters and demons patrolling the fort´s walls eliminating a ranged threat." Sozin tells Lucius. "Sounds good me and my men will go through the village and kill any demons or monsters on the way. We will storm the main gates while you both attack from behind. If we find an archdemon one of you will chase him with our gear we aren´t as mobile as you guys." Lucius explains. "That´s that then we´ll go round the fort wall and then jump down and attack from behind!" Hi confirms. "And while we are on the walls we collect arrows and bows to offer ranged support before assisting down below!" Sozin says. "Then we will wait until you have killed them from range before moving in to not get hit!" Lucius says. "On to your positions then let´s raclaim the fort and our territory!"
