The group travels through the dense forest with Yuxuan´s beasts as escorts. She plays her flute on the back of the white tiger to lure new beasts out and tame them. The further they travel the closer they get to the elves. Along the path of destruction Vernon helps the plants grow back stronger. Green light emits from him and the plants that grow. The elves hear Yuxuan´s flute in the distance and await their triumphant return. "Do you hear that elder they have returned!" an elf tells the elder. "So they have!" The elder says seeing the group. Gale is the first to report to the elder. "Impressive so Hi managed to finally slay it!" the elder says. "Hello elder here we are again and in one piece!" Sozin tells him. "For the rewards then: An ivory flute for the beast tamer, some seeds for the forest spirit, red gems with fire energy in them for you two and finally a new bow for Gale!" the elder says handing them out their rewards. "Hi is still asleep, let me heal him real quick!" The elder says. He goes up to Hi who is resting points his staff at him and transfers some warm healing mana to him and regenarates his body back to full strength. "WHoa! I am fully healed! And i feel stronger!" Hi says jolting back up. "Thank you elder!" he says bowing. "No need for that you slayed that lesser dragon." he tells him. "Would you escort us back home?" the elder asks of the group. "Yuxuan and Vernon can, they plan on staying don´t you?" Sozin tells the elder and asks Vernon and Yuxuan. "If we are allowed too, of course!" Yuxuan says. "You are suited for our lifestyle anyways and i have seen what you can do. You will be a big help and you are allowed to come anytime you want and stay for as long as you´d like. That includes you two too!" the elder says. "We are honored!" Hi says. "Yeah, Yeah you can have Yuxuan and Vernon we are going my apprentice!" Sozin says heading off. "You can count on me if you need anything i join your party!" Gale yells to Sozin. "Nice, see ya! Hey apprentice hurry up or no dinner for you!" Sozin yells back to Hi. "I apologize for Master, If you´d excuse me. Gotta go!" Hi tells them dashing up to Sozin. "Ready to go!" He tells him. "Alrighty!" Sozin says teleporting out of there with him.
They head back to the guild´s tavern to eat. They enter the tavern full of hunters and sit down to eat. "Two beers please and a full meat course!" Sozin tell the waiters. "We´ll be with you shortly!" they say with their hands full with plates and beer mugs. They hurriedly serve the customers and head to the kitchen for more orders. The waiter is back. "Sorry for the wait! Have a nice meal!" he says. "And he´s gone!" Sozin says. "Let´s dig in!" Sozin says. "Thanks for the meal!" Hi says. They both dig in devouring the whole course in minutes, that would me enough to sate multiple hunters. They drink their beer. "Drinking contest?" Sozin asks Hi. "Don´t expect me to lose!" Hi says. "Whelp, That´s one for each of us! Bring us another two beers!" Sozin tells the staff. They drink up and gather a crowd around them observing the duel. "Another!" Sozin says drinking another. "Me too!" Hi says drinking another. "That´s crazy they are at their 35th beers and both show no signs of being drunk!" A hunter comments. "Those with elemtal gifts sure a special breed!" another hunter says. They are at their 40th beer and Hi taps out drunk. "I can´t take anymore!" Hi tells Sozin. "That early i could drink another 60!" Sozin tells him and laughs. "Seriously his friend is drunk and he is still fit as a fiddle!" a hunter says. "We have a new third place Hi with 40 beers a round of applause!" A staff member announces. "Third that´s good for a newbie doesn´t have to pay for the beers!" a hunter says. "Let´s look at the leaderboard!" a hunter says. "First place: Sozin with 100 beers, i guess he wasn´t lying. Second place: Otsuki with 93, close but not quite there. And with a big gap in between third place: Hi with 40 beers. The top three are inhumane!" a hunter says. "Alright drunk boy let´s go you need to have long sleep and you´ll have a bad hangover!" Sozin says picking Hi up and carrying him off to their rooms. "Sozin shows no signs fo having aged, i´d even say he has gotten stronger!" a hunter says seeing how easily Sozin carries Hi away.
Sozin and Hi arrive at their rooms and Sozin tosses Hi on a bed who falls asleep almost instantly. "So he falls asleep after being drunk, gotta remember that. He can sometimes be a nuisance when sleeping rolling around tossing his arms and legs around making noise!" Sozin says. "Good night apprentice. Well you gotta be able to hunt still so you will have a new quest as breakfast!" Sozin says heading to the main hall of the guild and taking a quest. "Slay the bandits in the Nafud highlands" and "Slay a sandworm in the dunes". "I´m sure he can take that a sandworm and some bandits might be some demons at work if i´m being honest. And a all that in the summer heat in Nafud what a lucky guy. We could have gone to the Volcanoes if i wanted too there you might fall in lava and melt!" Sozin says heading back to his room. He reads some scrolls form the dragonkin temple and goes asleep right after.
