Awakened

First Quest

It wasn't too long after Koa and Apollyon had gotten patched up that the pair were back to being ready to go out on adventures again. Apollyon, Koa, and Violet were all walking down the street of the City of Wale, Apollyon was walking hand in hand with Violet, keeping her close, while Koa walked with one hand on the end of his swords hilt. They were rather silent with one another since the trio was still rather new to each other, they weren't sure what to talk about. After a moment, Apollyon cleared his throat to break the silence.

"So... Now that we're in an alliance, what should we do now? I mean, you seem to be a lot more knowledgeable about this whole adventuring thing than I am so tell me, what would you advise we do?" Apollyon asked, turning his head to look at Koa as the pair continued down the street. Koa turned his head towards Apollyon for a moment before he looked forward once more, "If I were to advise anything," Koa began, "I would advise that we first stop by a store to get proper adventuring equipment, tents, weapons, elixirs, that sort of stuff. Then I would advise we then take up a new quest, likely one that has a good pay-out."

"I don't think I'm going to need any weapons or elixirs, I'll be good." Apollyon scoffed, putting his hands behind his head. Koa shook his head, "That attitude will get you killed, Apollyon. There are a lot of dangers in this world, you don't know what sort of situations, it's always good to be prepared for anything." He spoke.

"There are many dangers out in the world, you have to learn to overcome any situation you are in if you hope to survive." An adult lectured, standing in front of a really young Apollyon as well as other children.

Apollyon sighed and shook his head, he didn't need someone telling him about the dangers of the world, he already had been taught about them all... Though, that was a really long time ago. "Whatever you say, Koa." Apollyon shrugged, his eyes glazing over for a moment before he then shook his head once more, "By the way, I know someone here who owns a shop. Perhaps he might have some supplies that could help us." Apollyon suggested.

The silver-haired Koa nodded to what Apollyon had said, " Let us go then." Koa nodded before Apollyon then began leading the three of them toward the store.

Meanwhile, Hendrick Kane was standing in his command center at the Razor's main camp. He had just had another meeting with the members of The Eternal Church, having met with them as they wanted an update about the Razor's missing prisoner which the church had an interest in. The leader of the razor's let out a growl, smashing his fists into the table he was leaning on, causing the table to smash under the force, "Damn it all! If those religious freaks want that damn girl then we'll get the damn girl." He growled before looking away in thought before his eyes then widened, "Masa! Get in here now!" He called out to the door.

After a minute, the doors to the command center opened and walked in was a peculiar-looking male. This man was about 6'2, had black hair that went down to his shoulders, blood-red eyes, two black horns on his forehead, and a black tattoo that went up his neck and presumably down his shoulder and chest. He was wearing the classic razor outfit, a barbarian-like outfit. The man was walking in chewing on a piece of beef. "You called for me boss?" He asked, looking at Hendrick.

"Masa, I have a new mission for you," Hendrick spoke up, turning to the man, Masa. Hendrick was unnaturally tall so he looked down at the other man. Masa tilted his head at the words Hendrick had said, "What is it this time? Someone piss you off and you need me to beat them up?" He asked, crossing his arms in the process. "No, The Eternal Church have become restless in wanting to locate the prisoner they had us keeping for them, ever since she went missing, they've been wishing for us to locate her." Hendrick explained, beginning to pace up and down the room, "I would deal with this myself but as you are aware, I already have a lot more shit I have to deal with right now."

"She?" Masa asked, raising an eyebrow. Hendrick nodded, "Yes. The prisoner is a young girl with white hair like snow and eyes that could be mistaken for gold." Hendrick explained, looking at Masa with a stern look, "Well? Will you do it?" He asked. Masa sighed, taking his jerky out of his mouth and throwing it to the ground, "Not like I have much of a damn choice now do I? Plus I don't think we want to piss off the church, especially with the rumors I have heard about their leader." Masa sighed as he began to turn and walk away, "I'll find your little prisoner, Boss." He waved and he began to walk off.

"Good, I know I can count on you Masa, you're my most prized Razor." Hendrick laughed before he turned and looked at the table he had smashed, realizing he is going to have to clean it up now. Before Masa left, he stopped at the door and turned his head to Hendrick once more, "Boss... Is it true that the leader of The Eternal church can talk to god?" Masa asked curiously. Hendrick just shrugged, "How am I supposed to fucking know? I've never met her." Hendrick grumbled, "Just go do your job Masa."

Masa rolled his eyes and then walked out of the command center to begin his quest of hunting down the prisoner... Completely unaware of the two individuals accompanying her.
