It was an early morning. The sun's rays hit everywhere adding light to wherever it touched. The sky shined a bright blue with only a few clouds covering it.
A man is walking down the street. Dressed in grey pants and no shirt or shoes, this man is Komodo.
"Damn it, is Nevooa still asleep!" Komodo said to himself while looking down.
He walked to Nevooa's place and banged on the door until Nevooa woke up.
Nevooa got out of his room rubbing his eyes. He as a tired expression due to how early it was.
"Oh, it's you Komodo. What do you want?" Nevooa said plainly.
"I need you to follow me. We're going to a different kind of mission." Komodo said.
"Wait what?!" Nevooa shouted confused.
"Just follow me." Komodo said while walking out.
...
Nevooa and Komodo are now walking in the streets of the city. They are heading to the front gates.
"Where exactly are we going?" Nevooa asked.
"We have to go to the base of the mountain." Komodo replied.
"Could you give me more details about it?" Nevooa asked again.
"Hey! What are you guys doing?!" Invierno popped out right in front of them.
"Where going on a mission." Nevooa replied.
"Alright then I'll tag along." Invierno said in an energetic tone.
"I thought you got banned from doing mission for the rest of the year." Komodo said expressionlessly.
"I did, but they never said I could join someone else's." Invierno responded smiling.
They finally reached the front gate and walked out of the city.
"Nevooa you could survive the fall right?" Invierno asked.
"What?" Nevooa replied.
Invierno then took a few steps back and jumped off the mountain. Nevooa was shocked while Komodo just rolled his eyes.
"Base off the strength I'm feeling off of you, you wouldn't be able to survive." Komodo said.
"So we're just going to leave Invierno there for an hour?' Nevooa responded.
"Yeah, we'll just leave him there." Komodo said.
Nevooa and Komodo walked down the mountain and after an hour they go to the base of it. They were greeted with Invierno taking a nap.
Invierno was as carefree as a butterfly. He had is head on his upper arms and was smiling with his eyes closed.
The grass blew gently, the wind moves however it wants, and the sky is as clear as glass.
"Should we wake him up?" Nevooa asked.
"No we'll leave him there for a bit longer." Komodo answered.
"Nevooa, how strong do you think you are now?" Komodo asked.
"Right now, with all of the training I've been doing. I'm probably around middle soldier rank." Nevooa replied.
Komodo looked at Nevooa with a complex expression.
"The mission that we are going to be doing is easy. We will just have to defeat a spirit that Ganzhi and I trapped away years ago." Komodo said.
"How strong is this spirit?" Nevooa asked.
"I should be around low soldier rank." Komodo answered.
"Wait, why do we have to go down there." Nevooa asked.
"There is a sword down there that would be great help to you." Komodo responded, "It could boost your fighting power by a lot."
"But first. I have to test your strength." Komodo said.
Invierno woke up with a giant grin on his face.
"Did I hear a fight?" Invierno said.
"Yeah. I'm going to duel Nevooa." Komodo said looking down Nevooa.
"Alight then," Nevooa said while taking out his sword, "We should be equal in strength right?"
"Actually, I found something that makes me stronger." Komodo replied.
"I have no idea what kind of backstory those two have but this looks like it's going to be an interesting fight." Invierno said to himself with his smile getting larger.
