The mage froze on the sight of Raven, Raven looked at him waiting for a reaction, the mage turned and started running, Raven grabbed him from his clothes, the bandit screamed fearfully.

- Don't kill me! I am sorry for before!

- I won't kill you.

- Thank you!

- You just have to tell me something.

- I will tell you anything you want!

-Where is your hideout?

- I can't tell you that, Ralph will kill me.

- Who is Ralph?

- Ralph, the one eyed; he's the leader of the bandits.

- Well you're either dying now or later, the choice is yours.

- Alright I will tell you, just don't say that I told you.

- Out with it already.

- Go outside the city, head north, you'll find a wolf's den, next to it is a cave, that's the hideout.

Raven let go of the bandit, the bandit thanked him for sparing his life.

"Forget about being a bandit, if I ever hear about you causing trouble, I will personally come after you."

The bandit promised Raven then took his leave.

"How the hell will I get past a den of wolves?"

Raven has a realization.

"Yes! That's it! Wolves are afraid of fire, all I need is two torches and I will be fine."

Then a disappointment, the bandits will be alerted of his presence, but wait, why the wolves don't attack the bandits, there must a be way to avoid them.

"Alright then, when I get there, I will figure it out."

Raven heads to the forest, he finds the cave.

"Wolves, only wolves all over."

He hears someone approaching from behind, he hides behind a tree.

"Did he see me?"

It appears he didn't, the man continues walking, Raven sees him, he's a bandit, he wears leather armor and wields a short sword, Raven watches the bandit, he doesn't head directly to the cave, he doesn't get near the wolves, Raven follows him, the bandit disappears behind a pile of rocks, Raven heads behind him, he doesn't find him.

"Did he go invisible?"

Raven thinks the bandit saw him, hid or went invisible to ambush him, Raven grabs his sword, he waits for a minute, nothing.

"Is he playing games with me?"

Raven looks around him, then he looks down, he sees a trap door, he opens it and goes down, he hears the rumbling of a crowd.

"Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!"

The bandits yell in unity as a one eyed man fights another, Raven reaches the fighting area, now he knows where he shouldn't go, Raven continues searching.

After some time, Raven finds the only bandit not in the fighting area, he's guarding a room.

"This is so stupid, I should be there watching the fights two, but look at me, the treasure room must be guarded they said, from who? The wolves."

Raven sneaks up behind him and chokes him out, he falls unconscious, Raven searches his pockets, he find a key, he uses it to open the treasure room.

Raven enters, the door shuts behind him and a golem rises up, Raven swings his sword, it breaks, the golem tries to punch Raven but it's too slow, Raven notices an ord floating in a hollow hole in the golems chest, Raven steps forward, grabs the orb and takes it out, the golem falls to pieces and the door opens.

Raven looks around, he sees gold coins everywhere, he picks one.

"This is fake gold, worthless."

The coins are too hard to be made of gold, Raven continues looking around, he sees a katana.

"How did this baby get here?"

Raven replaces his sword, he also finds the unfinished sword, he goes back the way he came from to leave, he sees the men getting out of the fighting area.

"I guess it's through the wolves then."

Raven turns around and runs out of the cave through the wolves den, the some of the wolves start to chase after him, Raven sprints out of the forest, he looks behind him, the wolves stopped chasing him.

Raven returns to the forge as the sun falls.

"I haven't eaten all day, now I am getting hangry, I better get done with this as fast as I can, I have no energy left."

Raven finds the dwarf.

- The job is done.

- I didn't believe you'll do it.

- I nearly lost my life, I guess I got lucky.

- Tell Giren he will have his weapons by tomorrow, wait, that sword, it wasn't the same sword you came with.

- You're right, mine broke when I fought a golem.

- You're dumb for swinging your sword at a golem.

- I did it reflexively.

- Anyway, let me take a look at it.

Raven hands his sword, the dwarf casts an analysis spell.

- This is a sword with no stat boosts but it has dimensional properties.

- That's good, but what does it mean?

- I can't tell, you have to use it again and again until you discover what that means.

- Thinking about it, dimensional properties sounds pretty good.

- Don't get your hopes up, it's probably some stupid ability.

- But it might not be.

- We will see, now excuse I have to go, looking after these men all day is sure tiring.

Raven returned to Giren and reported him.

- Well I guess congrats, you're elite now.

- I would like my payment now.

- You'll get paid, don't worry.

- I don't have money, I am hungry and without a place to stay at.

- I will pay, but answer me this question, what will you do if I had a bounty on my head.

- Well, fighting you will sure be interesting, but I would need special tools to counter your magic wich is controlling domains, but yeah, I am coming after you, if the pay is good.

- You just do it for the pay?

- No, I am interested in fighting you, but it must be worth it.

- You're good, you both have the batte lust and wit to recognize not every battle is worth fighting, that man sure knows how to pick them.
