2 Chapter 2 The City Town And The Hunt Part One

For the last few hours the family of four and that of the spartan had been crossing the vast lands of vahrian itself for they had also dealt with disruption along their travel, yet the one who's had to deal with it was the spartan not because he was worried or dreading but because of his friend for she had been stretching her own tang of grid in taking in every pictures of trees of various types ones that surely would've made some people back on his world or realm marvel at it.

Once deha had ask five to stop so she could have him jot down down specific parts of trees and fruits of unlike any that even the spartan and the others hadn't seen.

"Boy I bet those dendrologists and arborists would be amazed of what's in this world, I'm mean trees that could provide medicine and vaccines for illnesses, heck I bet that there might be other things out there that we've hadn't discovered yet," Deha said in an overwhelmed by the many wonders of this worlds plants and trees.

"I'm sure they'll be glad to, but I don't see that happening seeing that if they are able to travel to wherever this is," Says a callous five.

"Careful don't jinx yourself there koa, just because we somehow ended up in another world doesn't mean that others won't," Retorted deha.

"Then I hope that you are right with that statement of yours deha," Responded five.

"How long have we been traveling again vaena?" Asked brandor as he turned to glance at his wife.

Vaena clearly looking like she hadn't slept for awhile had dark circles beneath her eyes indicating that she hadn't had much sleep something that even her husband and children were dealing with.

Yawning out loudly not caring whether that the spartan was with them or not vaena glances to the side opposite to that of her family, from the sky it was apparently almost noon, basically she and everyone have been trekking since the sun had risen about an hour ago with hardly any sleep, but no longer would she and the family have to worry about that for they have finally arrived to their destination.

About a ten yards from they are is a stone wall with a twenty foot long gate in addition width of twenty-one. As the group came closer people who were in line to enter the town all eyed the spartan in both novelty and apprehension thinking that he was a golem for which some of the people seen those walking rocks can sometimes get out of control.

The spartan from the corner of his eyes saw a groups of people from behind them were rushing to get in line, as they arrived the groups were breathing exceptionally rigid as if they've been on the run without a break, they stopped to catch their breathe until one of them caught sight of the spartan.

"Uhm... Woah! Never in my years have I've ever seen something like you before?" Says a girl.

From the kind of attire that this girl wore girl the spartan guessed right that she was what brandor and vaena called adventurers, now he may not know much about this so called advanturers but from what the two couples had informed him off about them was that they go out and ventured into the unknown to earn fame alongside with taking on jobs where they would have to hunt down beasts for certain reasons such as searching for things like that of plants far in some deep forests dungeon and mountain high and low and in return they get paid for the right amount coins or in other words money...

Realizing that he was out in his own world five shook himself back to the present when the same voice of a girl called out to him, from the looks on her face she looked to be having the countenance expression of someone who detested being ignored for a long period of time.

"Umm, hello there Mr. Are ya going to answer," Says the girl.

Expecting him to respond to her the girl put both hands on her waist awaiting for him to acknowledge her but all she gotten was nothing but silence.

A man from behind the girl hurried forth and pulled his comrade beside to his left and spoke out to five in a chuckle. "Sorry there sir, forgive my friend behavior, she sometimes gets antsy when hungry,"

"No problem," The spartan answered as he simply turns back to face the ongoing line.

From behind five it was clear to him that the girl was conversing with her comrade in an endeavor of trying to talk her down from trying to gain his attention, yet she doesn't take notice that five was not keen on talking to her well not that it matters anyway.

Either they don't care or not five overheard the comrades talking about slaying a beast that had been radically causing havoc in a neighboring town, apparently the creature was one that five and deha have never heard or seen but from what clear description the groups of friends were chatting off it was apparent that the creature wasn't much of a hassle to the groups as they talked of how they were told by the people in the nearby town that the beast resembles that of a giant who stood taller then even the spartan, it was said that was so hideous due to it's large eyes along with small circular ones that sticked around his large one, it has also been described to be whether bodily property with it's large stomach and teeths huge enough to put holes in an average man with one bite.

"It's a good thing we've killed that giant of a creature," One of the groups of friends said speaking.

"Nahh, i'd say it should've been a little bit harder," Another said.

"Whether it's easy or hard just be glad that the ogre is already dead, cause if it had not been for olfran here one of us would've been coming home in a body bag," Said a man.

"Yeah yeah leader, whatever you say,"

"Halla, what's got you all fixated?" Says one of the friends.

"Nothing important kas," Halla answered as she looked at a different direction away from that of the green behemoth in front of them.

Meanwhile as the group of advanturers were chatting with one another brandor along with the family and that of five waited for the group of three others in front of them to get passage from the two townsguards...

There were two sets of leather armor that the guards wore, on the inside was a darkish shade of green along with a long sleeve grey tunic while the man had on a brown leather set of armor that reaches down just sixteen inches from his kneecaps as well as him wearing a green leather pants and a brown boots that had the same color of his second armor, on top where his head is he had on a hooded chainmail tucked inside his tunic shirt with an addition of a metal helm.

With this five could see that the guards stood from the far back and the ones who were standing from the top of a wall all wore similar armor as their companion.

After letting the three people through the lead guard motions for the next in lines to which five and the family trekked forth a few yards and halted when one of the guards puts his hands up indicating they stop.

At first the guard was bewildered by that of the spartan due to his height and size but momentarily had to bring himself back together and walked forth.

"State your names and reasons of visits," Spoke the guard with authority.

"Aye," Responded brandor and with his right hand he made known of his family one by one. "The lady to my right is my lovely wife vaena, and the two youngsters here are our children, their names are kraeva and Gandhi,"

The guard took a glanced at the two children who just looked down at them with a hello as the two of them gave a wave of greetings at him.

Nodding in approval the other fellow guard walked next to him and brought out a roll of parchment and holding on his right hand was a pen of sorts that five zoomed in for a better look with the help of his helmets hud, each names that were written down glowed in an instant as the guard then paused for a moment.

The guard on the left eyes moved towards the spartan who was standing next to brandor. "And what of your tall friend here ser brandor?"

Brandor hearing that the man was referring to his new companion turned to look at the spartan. "You want me to tel-

The poor man didn't get the chance to finish speaking when the spartan instead cut him off mid sentence and responded to the guard. "You can call me five,"

Thinking why someone would name himself after a number the guard didn't want to dwell too much on it and just wrote the name down.

"Oook, now that that's done with, can I as for your reasons of visit?"

"Of course, forgive me for my unheedfulness guard, you see I'm here to stay with that of my sister," Said brandor as he berated himself internally for forgetting that.

"And may I know of who your sister is?"

Without a whiff of nervousness brandor answered. "Her name is doranda of vaxnalla,"

The guard right brow raised at the mention of the name as he glances at the man. "So you must be the blood sibling that lady vaxnalla had always spoken about,"

"Yes," Answered brandor.

"Ok now that I've wrote down your names and reasons of visit you the five of you may enter. And please do give lady vaxnalla my regards," Says the man as he then motions for other the other guards to let the five people on through.

Brandor happily gave a wave to the guard as a reply and answered back. "I'll sure do guardsmen!"

_______________________________________________

From the outside when they were awaiting their turn to enter the town the wall was as tall as a small business building with the exception of the door of course and when five and the family of four entered the area that they were slowly trekking through was filled with busying people who roamed the large area.

The wall that surrounded the town expanded out for two mile long or more, on the inside of five's helm a miniature replica of the town was shown with the holographic wall in displayed with the assistance of deha as she then adjusted it by zooming outward and stopped in nothing but two seconds.

"I've got to say whoever had built this wall knew exactly what they were doing, I'm mean look at this five," Deha said in wonderment of the structure wall of the town.

At first five thought that the wall had reached out for about two miles long or more but not when he laid eye on the full outlook of the wall it reach out in more then eight miles long in the shape of a circle. Five zoomed in on the circle and paused, if brandor and his wife couldn't see the the expression on the spartan's face it would've clearly looked like that five was impressed by the work that the people of this town had put in.

On the inside were multiple buildings all in big and small sizes. A considerable amount of them were the sizes of a three to seven story buildings and small restaurants, other ones were about the same distance and length of school buildings and that of a large mansions.

One building for certain that five notices caught his attention, he asked deha to zoom in a little bit closer, it was significantly bigger then that of the twenty first century united state capital building... The twenty first century building was one-hundred-seventy-five-thousand point one-hundred-seventy square feet with the width of seven-hundred-fifty-one and height of two-hundred-eighty-eight feet long.

The building he was looking at right now was slightly larger then that of the US Capital, it's size was one-hundred and seventy-seven thousand point one-hundred-seventy-six square feet, the width of it was seven-hundred and fifty six along with the height of two-hundred-ninety-one...

With this type of building it could fit an average of small villagers but five and deha doubted that had ought to happen seeing as how many other houses and buildings that surrounds it.

At the meantime while the groups of four and of course the green armored being that was walking along the way people were eyeing the spartan with unsavory looks of suspicious wary of who he was. One member of the guards close by was curious of what's gotten the townspeople attention chose to follow after where they were looking at until his eyes widened in surprise of what he saw. Suddenly he tapped on the shoulder pauldron of his pal.

"Hey bud, you might wanna take a look at this!" He says.

The guardswoman was busy biting onto her piece of chicken leg and took a quick nibble on it. After gulping it down in four second she glanced at her partner with a slight frown upon her face.

"What is it!... I've been waiting to eat after having to payroll the damn town for almost a whole morning!"

"I know that, but please do ya self a favor and turn your hard of a head that way," Responded the man pointing at where the tall figure of a stranger bearing in green armor as he was trekking with a family.

"What in the light is that!' She says speaking in shock of seeing five.

"I do not know but one thing for sure is that the headman is going to be hearing about the stranger later on,"

"Well now that you've said that, should we apprise him as a threat, or tell commander of his arrival?" Says the woman.

"No, no no, i'd say just leave it be, I'm sure the stranger isn't looking for any trouble," Replied the man reassuring his comrade.

"Are you sure about that? Don't the townsguards have to make sure that we keep our guards up for anything whether if it's a threat or not?" The guardswoman said still uncertain of her partner's words.

Exasperatedly sighing to herself the guardswoman supposed that her partner was right, but one thing that slightly bothers her was the atmosphere the green armored being was giving off, unlike most of her fellow guardsman whenever a new face shows up in her town she'd memorize every single one of their faces, and if the woman or man was bear in armors that covers their whole whole body especially that of their faces she would remember them as well.

But varying the rest of the people from the armored being she was directly keeping her eyes on at all time she felt something off about him like he wasn't from around here or that of the nearby towns and villages.

_________________________________________________

Five took in the full view of his surroundings as he walked along with brandor and his family. On both sides were many merchant shops, other one's like that of food shops seems to have been opened for quite a while even before he and the others had arrived at the front bridge entrance of the town.

To his left five noticed a glint he turned to look and saw a man who seemed to have been working profusely, the man had on some sort of helmet that resembles a metal bucket with a leather rope strapped to the back of his head. From behind him two youngsters around their teenage years caught sight of five who was looking at their direction and nervously waved at him. A woman walked out from behind them as she exited from the inside of their house and saw that her two kids were looking and waving at somewhere else, wondering what had made them so nervous, she trailed after where they were waving at and saw exactly why her children was acting the way they were.

On the inside of his helmet five chuckled for a second when the woman pulled her kids back and motions for them to get to working all the while keeping an eye on him.

Like many the many worlds he's been in five couldn't help but agree more to the statement that one of his fellow spartan siblings said.... Spartan Sierra zero-sixty-one also known as soren, he'd once told five that wherever he and the others goes to majority of the people on those planet will always differentiate an emotionless machine from that of a human being.

He scoffed at the thought of it, five was used to the many looks that the people back from his universe or realm had usually shoot his way but here he surely could see the same expression the people of this town was giving his way.

Yet before he had even met a civilian on his first landing a certain doctor had reprimanded him and the other Spartan's that normal people wouldn't react to well on them. From there five took the doctor advice to the heart and along his first excursion with a team of spartan called green team, Kurt sierra-zero-fifty-one and Linda sierra-zero-fifty-eight, li sierra-zero-zero-eight daisy sierra-zero-twenty-three and lastly cal sierra-one-four-one.

As they were getting on with the task given to them green team met a group of people who manages to have survived a covenant attack on their city, at first five tried to reason with them saying he meant no harm but of course he was wrong at the thought of them since it was the first time a civilian had laid eyes on a bunch of walking seven foot beings, there weren't any shootings between the survivors and green team but there was definitely a few slur of words the people were shooting at five and the team of Spartan's.

The man that five was trying to reason with still hadn't lowered his weapon till kurt being the unusually friendly and sociable one of the squad stepped in, five appreciated the assistance from kurt-zero-fifty-one since he was the speaker and social one of the Spartan's he'd always made sure to alleviate people from acting in an ominous manner and with his talk with the man he eventually managed to compelled him to lower his weapon to which the man and his group had also come to terms with green team as they continued to rescuing a couple others survivors and left for the pelican.

"Koa, are you alright, I can sense that your emotion regulator is functioning distinctively different then usual," Spoke deha as she saw the expression on five's face faded away a few second after she spoken.

Answering deha for he knew there on if he had replied a little too late she would've berate him with few other questions that he wasn't in the disposition to make a reply to. "Yes, I'm good... How far away are we from the designation home of brandor's sibling?"

"Hmmm, glad you asked, i'd say by the time he turn right just six yards away you'll see a brown building," Deha answered merrily.

"Thanks deha,"

"No problem, oh and uh do be a gentleman, when you meet the woman try not to act so grumpy," Deha told him expecting a slight disatisfaction from which she vanished from five hud.

Six minutes later as five brandor and his family turned the corner from their viewpoint the house they saw was about the same extent and size of an average small motel, on the middle of it placed a water fountain as fishes can be seen leaping up and back down onto the water. The grassfield that surrounded the water fountain was seventeen square feet widened. On it's right was a farm field that expanded out to a hundred and fifty yards. On the side of the building a building where five could see that people were serving animals of different varieties.

Understanding that the longer he remains on this unknown of a world five figured that he'd would forever see new species of animals ones that he'd always thought we're coming from misconception of an average fantasy book writer, one animal for certain looked like that of a snow leapord except it was colored in brown fur with black stripes that runs down the center of it's face. And that wasn't the only thing that caught the spartan attention, the cat was about six foot long on all fours and stands at the height of five foot eleven.

With this kind of beast five was certain that a modern trophy hunter would've loved to hunt this thing down and out it on his or her wall.

The horses came to a stop just six feet away from the entrance and beandor then hopped on down and lightly carried kraeva down too while vaena did the same with ghandi.

Five saw three figures coming towards their direction, two of which the spartan assume we're that of a man and a woman who were as young as a people in their twenties and on center of them was a woman, her hair was grey, skin tanned brown as that of brandor's, she wore what looked like a tunic shirt and blue leather pants, the armor she wore over her long sleeve tunic shirt enveloped mainly the upper part of her body without an opening for a sword to go through, the bottom part of her waist down to legs she bear armor that concealed around her thighs from the top all the way down to her legs. The only thing that wasn't covered was her head as she just allowed her hair to hang loosely without a care of who sees whether they were nobles or anyone saw her not that they would say anything since she was one of the many guardsman up in high ranks.

Brandor happy to see his sister walked towards her with opened arms and hugged the woman. "Sister! It is good to see you,"

"It is good to see you as well little brother, tell me what had gotten you and your family to come here out of the blue?"

"Well sister, it is a long story, perhaps we can discuss it inside your home, besides I want you to meet your niece and nephew, and of course you've met vaena," spoke brandor in a blissful way happy to see his sibling after seeing her in year's.

Getting down on her knees doranda smiled as she greeted the two children. "Why hello there little ones, I gotta say you two have grown a lot, I've only met you two the day your dear mother gave birth, and now seeing you guys all big and dirty, I say it's a quite fine look,"

"Excuse their manners sister, they've haven't known you for year's," Spoke vaena.

Standing up on her two feet doranda then went to hug vaena. "It is quite alright, besides be that as it may they've not seen me in eight years... Come here vaena,"

Without even waiting a second vaena walked forth and happily hugged the woman. "It's great seeing you doranda,"

"I could say the same to you as well, that goes to all of you,"

Afterwards as doranda was chatting with the two of them talking about how they were doing while the two kids after a few moments of hesitant they eventually warmed up to their aunt who was glad that the two of them weren't so shy of her any longer than she might've thought of.

The woman was glancing at the elephant in the room, brandor seeing this was about to elucidate to his sister of the reason why the spartan was with them but came a little too late when she trekked towards five and with right hand on the hilt of her sword she then had to tilt her head up and spoke.

"You know, there ain't a lot of people or knights that is who travels with a group of a small family, tell me stranger how much of my brother and sister coins did it cost for you to become their chaperone huh?"

Brandor stepped forth as vaena too followed after him. They understood that doranda had a bad history with knights and knowing that the moment she laid eyes on five she would berate them with dislikes, feeling terrible that the stranger who saved them and their two children was mistreated as some sort of person who'd done wrong and chose to stand up for him for the two of them also understood doranda had a point about the majority of a particular kingdom and their egotism man's of knights.

"Doranda please, do not, this man had done nothing wrong nor has he even asked of I and vaena's money," Spoke brandor hoping that his sibling would heed his words.

Doranda heard her brother yet still hadn't glanced his way as she then let her hand away from her sword, smiling to herself doranda then strolled around the spartan in curiosity. She do admitted that not many or should she say that not once has she seen someone concealed in what looks to be heavily fortify armor. Doranda notices the small cracks on where five's boots is and thought of how heavy this stranger is, at first she thought it was just some overweight man who stuffed all his belly in on the inside of his armor but pushed away that thought.

She also saw that the spartan had weird configuration of many strange things that closely resembles that of muskets sticking on the back of his armor without the needs of ropes in tying them up. From the bottom corner of her eyes she saw a small musket of sorts hanging on the right side of the spartan where his hand was close to yet what bothers her was why hadn't this stranger went for it, she was too busy in trying to get inside the man's head and yet he hadn't given her the reaction she was hoping for, though she gotta give it to him he was well preserve of himself from having to speak or act in any way at all something that mostly all men of this world don't have.

Vaena came next to her son and daughter as she stood between doranda and her husband. "Sister, what brandor is true, this man had not done anything of earnest trouble for he saved I and our children life,"

"I may be weary of some heavily armored man you two but that does not mean im a fool who would rush to look for trouble with them," Said doranda as she went to tap on five's right forearm and misses when he stepped aside and fed brandor's horse an apple.

A smile crept up to both kids face and that of brandor when the woman blinked in chagrin of her endeavor on what had happened.

She then chuckles and turned towards her relatives. "Alright, you guys can come on in, I have just gotten done with my day of guard duty, we'll speak inside during supper,"

Glad that there wasn't anything serious that happened brandor lightly tapped his kids on the head and motions for them to follow after the two escorts that doranda had came with, the two of course weren't shy at the time being for they both happily followed after the escorts when hearing the word supper.

"Tell me sister, how is our mother and father doing?" Asked vaena.

Her right brow raised up at the words of her longtime sister as she replied. "They are doing exceptionally well, although I've must tell you two that I had informed them before your reached at the front gate,"

"I see, I sure am eager to see them," Commented brandor.

"Seems like you've never let your guard dwindle sister," Commented Vaena.

Stopping in his steps brandor turned towards the spartan. "Five what of you, do you wish to have supper with us?"

"No, I'll be by the farm," Replied five.

"Are you sure ya don't wanna eat, im sure a big man like you also need some rest after having to walk for a whole night?" Questioned brandor.

"I'll be fine, you all head on inside,"

"Come you two, if the guy isn't wanting to eat then let him be... Oh and...?"

"Five," Brandor said answering for doranda as she was trying to find out his name.

"Five, alright, allow my helpers to assist you in leading the horses to the ranch, perhaps from there you'll help them in return," Doranda said as she got a nod of respond from the spartan.

______________________________________________

After brandor and the other left the area two of doranda's helpers or servants dressed in long sleeve tunics with the lower part of it reaching nearly to that of their kneecaps as they also wore light brown leather pants and muddied brown boots, he figures that this two people were the type of ones who works in the stables.

Both of them were around their teenage years, one a girl stepped forth and was going to bow down to the spartan but five immediately held out his hand for her to stop.

"There's no need for the two of you to bow,"

"Forgive us then ser, we were always told to bow to those of high standard," Responded the girl.

"You've not need to do that to me then, im none of that, what are you two names?" Asked five.

The boy on the left of his companion with a hand on his left chest spoke. "Of course ser, my name is escavan this here is my partner xala,"

"Nice to meet you two... Now I believe we should take the horses to the ranch," Said five as he can sense that the two of the animals were anxious to meet the other of their kindred.

"Of course this way ser five," escavan said with a gesture.

As the spartan followed after the two helpers others like them were eyeing him as he passed on through. From escavan front about two feet from him was an opened door to which they then tried ordering for the two horses to head inside but failed, five seeing that the two mounts wouldn't budge yet saw that the horses were looking at a different direction, following where it is they were looking at he saw other multiple of horses eating grass and some running alongside a pack of steeds.

"I understand that the horses are wanting to go with their kindred but lady doranda advised new arrivals or basically anyone that it's best to rest this two before we could even introduce them to the rest of the steeds," Spoke xalla.

"Come on you two, in you go," Said five.

The two helpers xalla and escavan were both somewhat impressed by how the two horses listened to the spartan as they watched him take off the saddles and that of the reins alongside with removing any of the equipment connecting on their faces such as the noseband browband and the cheekpieces.

After five had extracted everything from the horses he gave it to one of the servants who were called over by xalla.

Afterwards both xalla and escavan had asked five for help in another part of their assignment to which the spartan concede to after he closes the gate.

As he followed the two servants five saw that they were heading over to a large grassfield, it was about the size of an average football field, inside it were creatures that the spartan nor even deha couldn't tell of.

The creatures that five was looking at right now differentiate from that of a common horse, the front side of them were essentially hairy as that of a highland cow with the exception of their heads to which it has fifteen inches of fluctuating furs that runs down along their spines all the way to their seven six foot long tails. The two distinguishable appearances on them were the horns that protruded from the top of their heads just few inches from the eyes.

Curious about the kind of creatures this are five glances at the two youngsters. "What sort of creatures are those?"

Looking at where the spartan was pointing at xalla answered with a haughty voice. "Oh those, they are what we call jakoss, they're a distinct relatives from that of typical horses. Of course with the numerous furs of hairs on them which makes it the best mounts for the theatrical fair,"

"And speaking of fair, it is going to be happening tonight, heck even lady doranda is participating in on the race," Added escavan.

"Fair," Five said getting their attentions.

"Yes, it won't be starting until a moon rise,"

The spartan turned to where escavan was pointing at a seventy-foot-long clock tower, on the top of it was a man who grabbed the rope with a basketball size metal ball stringed on just the top center of it and began moving it back and forth as the sound of a loud bang of the bell rang.

"Looks like it's past noon... Welph, only a couple more hours till we have the fun of watching our lady partake in the race," Xalla says as she let out a yawn.

"And talking about race, this'll be the very first time lady doranda set foot in the horse race," Spoke escavan as he and xalla were quite appreciative of the spartan who opened the gate for them.

"You two said that this will be the first time the lady herself will race," Said five with curiousness.

"Correct ser-five, although the reason why was she had a deal with a very peculiar nobleman, at first we thought that he just wanted to beat lady doranda after she had humiliated him in practice," Xalla exclaimed in a buoyant mood.

"And not only that, lady doranda had also deflated the nobleman ego a peg or two right in front of the townspeople and that of the other people of nobility," Added escavan.

"Oh! Here comes randas," Spoke xalla with an avidity of euphoric.

It seems like to the spartan that mostly of all the people that worked on the lady doranda's farm were youngsters of who'm were around the age of that of junior highs and high schoolers kids along with a small amount adults who looked like they know what they were doing as some were helping other youngsters with the variety of different animals.

The girl that was walking towards them wore shoulder leather armor that reaches down to her tricep-lat, with the front of her chest the girl had a solid leather of brown breastplate covering her as on inside of it was a long sleeve black leather tunic. What the young girl wore on her waist was that of a long leather skirt that attached together with her black long-sleeve tunic shirt. The pant she had underneath it was a leather colored the same as her brown armor.

Five watched as the girl brought along with her a jakoss horse. As she reached them the young girl smiled as both escavan and xalla hugged her to which she returned the favor all the while as the jakoss stared at the spartan with a glare.

"Randas! It is great to see you!" Exclaim escavan with joy.

"Well tell us randas, tell us how your journey to the empress kingdom was with ser Kordyn and your father?" Xalla says as she came next to the girl.

"It was quite alright guys, me and my father only went there to meet up with a sorcerer," Answered randas as she happily chuckled for a moment before even noticing a heavily armored green behemoth standing on the spot where her two friends left.

"And who may this stranger be escavan?"

Escavan stepped away from the hug as he happily gave an introduction. "My lady, this is ser five, your uncle and aunt had came along with him as their chaperone,"

"My uncle, im guessing the cousins I've never met is here as well as aunt vaena?" Randas says as she walked towards the spartan.

"Correct," Five said replying to her assumption.

"I see, and im also guessing you won't be staying for long ser five?"

"Yes," Five said simply earning a well-clear foreseen expression on her face.

"Then you must know that before any knights departs they'd always apprised their companions," Randas says having to tilt her head up to the spartans helmet.

"I'm not most knights nor am I one," Five says feeling like that being called a knight was getting pretty piqued at that word.

"Well whatever it is I randas welcomes you ser-five to our home, so come me and my two chaperone here are going to need your help," Randas said half jokingly as she walked away with escavan and xalla pursuing after her.

"Wait! Were going hunting?" Questioned escavan.

"Yes escavan, I and a fellow kids will be hunting a beast in the forest before my mother's race," Responded randas.

"I'd say we've only got a few more hours till the sixth rung of the bell," Added xalla as she glances at the clock tower.

"Then that is good enough for me," Says randas.

"Do you not wish to tell your mother of your arrival?" Questioned five who leaned out of the way of a wagon as one of the people riding their horses were awestruck of his appearance.

"My mother would not care of it, she had always known that I do this with the other nobility kids and that of the townspeople's youths," Randas said replying to the spartan.

"Our lady doranda had always made sure that they'll also be a watcher far from that of lady randas so as to make sure she's alright and out of harm," Added xalla.

"Say that to the poor animals that we're about to kill," Commented Escavan with his hands behind his head.

It was no wonder to five why he had kept a close attention to a particular two persons hopping from building to building as they were following the four of them. The spartan was considering pulling out his M6G magnum pistol but refrained so as knowing that it'll probably cause a massive uproar from the multiple people he was nearby him and the kids.

About a few couple more walks the girl randas led her two friends and that of the spartan towards a large restaurant building, on the top of the door-way just three feet was a six foot long rectangular board, on the inside was the name of the diners building, deha on the other side laughed as she read it.

"The long wall restaurant, it's pretty obvious to me why the owner calls it that?"

Replying to his partner's utterance on the tavern's name. "Wouldn't really matter,"

"Whatever ya green brute," Remarked deha.

Once they've entered the tavern the people inside acknowledges the young lady randas as those nearby said their hellos to the girl all the meanwhile as she responded to their comment respectfully.

"The young girl must be well known around here," Comment deha as she watches the scene from the spartan's helmet.

However, while the people around the tavern were talking to randas a single sound of heavy footsteps coming from the spartan causes everyone to gawk at the green-armored spartan as others stared opened-mouthed at the massive size of five.

Randas seeing this gestures for five to come on over to which he reacted with slightly quieter steps towards her and two of her companions, as he continues forth he could still perceive the countless eyes following him as he then stops next to Xalla and Escavan.

Randas seeing the lady in front of her staring at the elephant in the room taps lightly on the counter three times. The lady apologized to her and then spoke out in surprise.

"Lady randas! Please forgive me of my hinderance, what can I do for you?"

"It is quite alright loieralla, im here to ask you of my usual hunt," Randas says asking.

"Ahh, I see, I'll go fetch it right for you, I'll be right back my lady," says the lady as she opened a door and walked in.

"My my, never thought I see something as rare as you," Spoke a voice.

Five may have not known who it is but telling from the looks leaking across randas face he supposed that she knew of this man.

"Kyro, oh my, what a surprise to see you here," Responded randas as a serious look was on her face to which then it turned into a yet so elated smile.

"Is that anyway to talk to an old enemy," Say the man now known as kyro.

Randas laughs slightly along with the man as they walked towards each other and hugged one another.

"I don't think the word enemy fits your portrayal my friend, besides you look better than the last time we've seen each other," Randas says to him to which earned a chuckle from the man.

"Aye randa aye, escavan xalla, it is good to see you two as well," Says kyro lightly bowing his head to them.

"We to you as well kyro," Xalla and escavan said responding to the man.

After kyro presented himself towards the other three he turned to the spartan direction and tried to make himself look taller but failed to no avail. All the meanwhile as five was eyeing kyro and seven of his companions who were all giving him the same remedy of both inquisitive thought and that of a bizarre look of interest towards him.

"And who might you be stranger, I don't think you yourself are a knight, I know many knights and not all of them are as tall or strange looking as you," Kyro said as he look the Spartan up and down.

"The name is five, and what I am is of no importance to you and your friends... With all due respect that is," Five says glad that at least someone like kyro wasn't thinking of him as a knight for once.

"I see, im guessing your some traveler who happens to come across lady randas, daughter of do-"

"Doranda, yes, randas asked that I accompany her and her two friends for a hunting assignment," Reaponded five.

Kyro was going to recite himself but randas spoke out loud for both him and the rest of their group.

"Say kyro, since you and your fellow pals are here to get the evening hunt, how about you and your companions join my friend and that of ser five in the hunt, whaddya say?" Declare randas as she spread her arms out and pulled both xalla and escavan into her arms.

Kyro with both arms on his waist took two steps back as he looked at one of his pals on the left side of him.

After a few moment of conversing with the woman she and the rest of her group came to an agreement as kyro happily nodded her way and turned back to face randas.

"We're in, when will we start?" Asked kyro.

"Loieralla, I'll take the toughest beast there is on today's list!" Randas said speaking loudly.

Loieralla smiled brightly as she knew this would've happened since kyro would be coming in the same time as every town hunters to drop off their kill and collect their coins as a reward, so seeing that one of her best clients especially in groups were here she figures that they would've wanted another hunt especially ones fit for their status, but, there was one exception, the green armored spartan known as five.

She didn't know if he was whether some noble man or boy who hides himself in an armor unfamiliar to her, or that he was just someone new looking to join the higher-ranking town hunters without even having to go underway from the very start just as every hunters had done.

But seeing that he was among one of the town best hunters so she deduces that he'll be just fine within the group as his protectors.

In her hands was a scroll, unwrapping the red string that kept it close loieralla then rolled it opened for randas after she had given it to her.

"I got the best one for you my lady... In that piece of parchment is a beast that's been terrorizing the those who'd traveled throughout the forest just outside that of our wall, it would've been greatly appreciate it if you and kyro's group can deal with the beast," Says the woman as she brought up a mug for both her and kyro.

"Usual?" Questioned randas as she eyed the mug.

"Of course my lady, just as you've always liked, the red juice, made from that of our finest brew makers," Replied the tavern keeper.

"Thank you then lady loieralla, tell your brother I appreciate his red juice skill," Randas told her as she took a drink of the mug.

Kyro brought his mug and raised it as a thanks to the tavern keeper as well, he turned to face randas as he came to a halt beside her.

"So, what beast must we kill to earn our second money of coins?"

Randas let out a gurgle and burps out loud and spoke. "We my friend are going to be hunting down a forest basalisk,"

Kyro responded with a sudden chuckle as a slight concern within him can be seen by those of his group and randas. "A forest basalisk! That is quite infrequent, those beasts only comes out of their underground homes when threatened,"

"You are right about that dear kyro, and my guess is that it was either another underground monster that cause it to flee from it's home, or, unless it needed to hunt it's prey so it can feed it's eggless babies," Spoke a woman who was part of his company.

This woman was just that of the same height as a an average man, she stood at five foot eleven, her hair was dirty blonde, both side of her head was shaved off at two inches above the ears except the back. She wore a long sleeve blue tunic on the inside while on the outside she had a silver-like breast plate armor, as for what she had as a pant was colored in green and yellow stripe as well as a whether comfy looking leather boots that tucks in the end of her stripe pants. On both of her forearms was a brown fur-leather vambrace that probably what's keeping her arms warm. The only three known things as her weapon were that of an axe hanging by the side of her left midriff, on her back hangs a wooden shield and a sword in her right hand.

"Then it's a good thing the daughter of lady doranda is willing to lend us her aid, elrand," kyro said replying to her statement.

"So, now that that's settle with, shall we get going ladies and gentlemen?" Randas said speaking after she had gulp down the rest of her drink.

Kyro gaily grabbed his mug and gulped it down with one go and lightly handed it to loieralla. "Yes, lets go, lady randas,"

Meanwhile as the group were conversing with each other the spartan and his AI companion was chatting with one another in private.

"You sure about this deha?" Five said to her.

"Yes koa, the best way to know more about our new world here is to accompany this people, and to do that we need to cooperate with them," Deha said to five.

"And what of this person who's been following me ever since I entered the city?" Five said questioning her words.

"He is of no threat to you, besides he or she hadn't even attacked you, not that im saying you'll get hurt or anything," Although she knew not to worry for her partner deha still kept track of the person that's been following the spartan from the darkness.

"Fine, then I suggest we get going as well,"

_____________________________________________

Before the lady randas and two of her friends could go with kyro and his group xalla had to ask randas to keep the others waiting while eacavan and she could go prepare themselves.

Though the spartan chose to stay behind with kyro and his crew.

Kyro was intrigued by the large form of the spartan went to speak to him with slight reluctance but still did it anyway.

"So, you new around here ser five, for I must say that not everytime, I see someone like ya walking around with lady doranda's daughter and her two friends,"

Uncrossing his arms the spartan gave a response to the man's query. "You can say so, but I can tell you that I am not from around here,"

"Oh really! And if I may, what exactly do you mean by that?" Kyro said asking him.

"I assume you are familiar with a word known as realm, or whatever it is the people of this world calls a planet?" Five said to the man.

"Ahhh, I see, you must be an outworlder!" Exclaimed kyro in a sudden mood of tone.

"I guess you can call it that," Uttered five as he gave a reconciliation to the word outworlder.

"Yes, if you must know an outworlder is known to be something of aberration, for it is very unusual and rare for someone like you to pop into vahrian," Stated elrand.

"You see ser five, us vahrians, we may have been fighting some things similar to that of an outworlders, they wore strange armors, no like anything that you worn, but something very closer to that of our world," Says kyro as he was about to continue speaking but stopped when he and long with everyone saw pandas and her two companions walking towards him.

Five wanting to know more about this outworlder matter so he could learn a way to return to his own world but halted when he notices the young girl and her friends.

Coming to a stop in front of her old friend and that of the spartan randas then spoke out to the two of them. "Are you ready, for im about to show you both just how good my oversight is better then yours,"
