On a beautiful morning the party walked down the road.

Stark: You said this guys a strong warrior, right?

Frieren: He's a dwarf that who stood guard over the next village for 400 years.

Fern: I know they live a long time but what's their life expectancy?

Sein: I think three centuries. 

Frieren: He's a long lived friend of mine. Everyone calls him old man Voll. I want to chat with him one more before he dies.

Stark: Wow you're all heart huh?

Fern: A rare opportunity. There probably aren't many people who can talk about the past with you beside Mr. Sozin. I see why you're looking forward to it. I suppose I can take a detour if it's that important to you.

Sozin looked at Frieren seeing her smile.

Frieren: Thank you Fern. We'll stay for a decade or so.

Sozin: And like that I'm punting you.

Frieren: Kidding.

Sozin: >:(

A few minutes later they make it to a small village with big tree.

Sein: Is that the village?

They saw a dwarf in the distance by the gate.

Frieren: Old man Voll.

She walked over. Voll looks over at her.

Frieren: It's been a while. (Looks at everyone) You see I did my best with the stories but nothing could live up to the real thing.

Stark: This guy looks too old to stand up.

Voll: Remind me....who are you again?

Stark: He's totally decrepit.

Frieren: C'mon it's me Frieren.

Voll: Hm....Ah, yes now I remember you.

(Sozin: Hm, looks like he's going senile.)

Frieren: What's the point of pretending to be Senile?

Voll opens his eyes to look at Sozin and Stark. He trips Stark then swings at Sozin who was on the other side of him. 

Voll: Most death in battle come from the careless underestimation of your opponent.

(Sozin: Never mind.)

Voll looks at Sozin.

Voll: And looks like you've become a mage.

Sozin: Geez old man. That's the second time you swung at me.

Voll: To see if you were ready the second time. (looks at Stark) Arrogance is the greatest weakness of people and demons alike.

Stark was having a hard time getting up.

Voll: Trouble standing? It doesn't matter how strong you are. An injury can be the end to anyone. Even if that person can defend themselves. If I had drawn my sword, you'd be down one leg, young man.

Frieren: Your strategies are as underhanded as ever.

Voll: Yes indeed. It's good to see you Frieren(Looks at Sozin) You as well my old student.

Sozin waves. Please make yourself at home.

 They were about to walk in the village but Stark spoke.

Stark: Uh, master....I need help.
