After a few weeks of resting and healing up, the group decided to meet up once again at a tavern in Gratsid for a good night of drinks and celebration.
They meet up and head into the tavern. They raise their drinks and yell to the whole tavern, ''We saved Greenwood and the kingdom; we avenged the wrongdoings the goblin king made, and finally the warlock is no more! to Orario! May the goblins never hurt anyone again!'' and continue the party until sunrise.
After many rounds of ale and whisky, William Dwayne and George the devious pass out at the bar, and Frederick the brave escorts Kobi the fabled back to his place before walking back home himself.
Frederick the Brave entered his newly purchased home in Gratsid, headed upstairs, and flopped into bed. Frederick the brave puts his silver ring on the bed stand, heads to the balcony, looks out into the dawn light, is happy that he and his friends were able to avenge those lost due to the goblins actions, and ends the night as a hero.
The following morning, they all meet up and go for a scenic walk outside the city walls.
Kobi the fabled laughs, ''I'm so happy we were able to avenge those lost to the goblin king's wrongdoings." Frederick the brave agrees, "Yes, it's nice to know we've avenged so many people'' William Dwayne asks, "Have you ever wondered what's on top of those mountains?'' George the devious looks up and sees the mountains in the distance. ''Yes, many times I've wanted to travel up there and find out, but I've always been too busy to.
Kobi the fabled smiles and says, "How about we have an adventure in those mountains and discover what's up there? It's been a while since we've had a big adventure." Frederick the brave and William Dwayne cheer, "Yes, let's do it!"
''Then it's settled, we will head for those mountains and find out what's up there; maybe it could even be our next big adventure!'' George the devious agrees, "Yes, that sounds like a good idea'' Frederick the brave shouts, ''Alright, let's head for those mountains!"
''There's probably some sort of hidden treasure or something; I hope this isn't going to be another journey like the goblin king. I wonder if we will find another foe... or friend," Kobi the Fabled questions, thinking ahead to what could lay ahead.
''As long as we are together, it will all work out," George the devil reassures his companions.
After a few hours of riding on horseback, they arrive at the base of a mountain. ''Let's leave our horses here'' George the devious demands.
''It doesn't look so bad," Frederick the Brave nervously chuckles, looking out at the snowy mountains. Frederick looks at his three friends and smiles. ''We can take on anything, right?" The rest of the gang nods and smiles, and as they continue their journey up the mountain, William looks up to spot a large cloud coming overhead and says, ''Hey, I think we should find some shelter for a while'' They then all look and spot a horrendous arcane ice storm beginning to form.
While looking for shelter, Frederick spots an old shack on the mountainside '' It doesn't look like much, but I think this will keep us safer. Let's have a look''. Kobi the Fabled replies, ''Anything is better than this freezing weather.
They enter the shack and are surprised to find a half-giant huddled in the corner, shivering from the cold. "Who the hell are you?" William Dwayne yells out, anxious as it could be a threat, his hand on his wand, ready to cast a spell.
''I am Cian; Cian the Cowardly, they call me'' he squeaks.
''What are you doing up here?" Frederick the Brave asks.
"I am a member of the great goblin-slaying squad, but I ran away from the battlefield; it was all too much for me," he stutters.
Kobi the fabled gets up in Cian's face and looks at him. "Hey. You look really strong, but you seem a little cowardly. Do you want to join us for now? We could use some extra muscle and a navigator for these mountains.'' He says it triumphantly.
''I will do whatever you say, Kobi the Fabled! Anything to escape this cold," Cian stammers.
''The goblin slaying squad, what's that?" William Dwayne asks with a curious expression.
''They are a group of heroes who slay goblins; they are the most fearsome warriors on the Orario continent, and I used to be one of them," Cian the Cowardly informs William Dwayne.
''I am a member, or I was a member until I ran away from the front line," Cian states, ashamed of himself.
''You'll be happy to hear that we have slain the goblin king and his army then!'' Kobi the fabled beckons.
''W-w-what, that can't be; are you telling the truth?" Cian, the cowardly, asks in disbelief.
''Yes, it's true; the goblins are defeated," William Dwayne states.
''Wow, you guys must be even stronger than my former squad. Do you have a name?'' Cian the Cowardly asks, desperate for an answer.
Frederick the Brave looks up to the ceiling of the shack and says, ''It has begun; our tale as legends of Orario has begun; the Diamond Order we shall be known as from now on; we will keep the peace in this land.''
Frederick the Brave walks up to Cian, places his hand on his shoulder, and says, ''You can join us. But we need you to do your best in every situation. You need to be strong and fearless! ... and most importantly, you need to be loyal.''
''This is a huge responsibility, but how could I say no to the people who destroyed the Goblin King himself? However, as your navigator, I must warn you of a beast that rules the temple atom in these very mountains, do you know of, The Hyl Lord?''
They look around in confusion at this name: ''I can say we have; can you inform us of what we are dealing with here?'' Kobi the Fabled asked nervously.
Cian the cowardly replies, ''The Hyl Lord is a powerful monster that lurks in these mountains; he's very dangerous, and many have perished trying to defeat him. It is said that he worships a higher evil, known only as the Demon King. The Hyl Lord has apparently been planning attacks on Gratsid for some time now".
William Dwayne replies, ''The Demon King? My father forbid me to learn of him in the grand Dwayne library; all the books depicting the gods were locked away!''
''We must take down this Hyl Lord before he can cause this land any harm." Frederick, the brave demands
''We have to beware of his great Hylian army; they are highly trained killers; I've run from a few myself''
''The Hylian's will be no match for us, Cian. Come on, what do you say?'' George the Devious adds, reassuring Cian the Cowardly.
''Do you think you can take down the Hyl Lord? I'm worried you guys might end up as lunch," Cian the Cowardly inquires.
''Don't be fooled. Cian, William Dwayne is trained in mystic arts; Kobi the Fabled has his magic telescope and impressive skills with his cutlass; and I have the strongest claymore in Orario. We were a pretty dangerous team, and as for George the Devious, he can bulk up and smash things when his friends are in danger. We've been through hell and back together, Cian, and we don't plan on losing," Frederick the brave exclaims, patting Cian the cowardly on the back.
''I'm not the greatest fighter; I will follow you guys; no matter what happens, I'll try my hardest!'' Cian the Cowardly remarks.

''Well, that's all we can ask for, friend. Let's get a move on, gang; its time to go hunt down the Hyl lord," Kobi the Fabled yells, and they venture into the mountain to confront their new foe.
After hours of walking around in the blizzard, the diamond order spots a mysterious cave and goes inside. Upon entry, there are mysterious murals depicting an ancient prophecy: The stone carvings depicted five warriors taking down a large, fiery entity.
William Dwayne points his wand at the murals and illuminates them in a blue light. ''It says here that four heroes will come and defeat great evil," says Kobi the fabled. Cian, the cowardly, feels shivers up his spine.
''How could this have been prophesied many centuries ago? Are we those heroes?" George, the devious, trembles. Frederick the Brave grabs his claymore and states, ''We're not just heroes; were the Diamond Order, the greatest heroes Orario has ever seen, we will defeat the Hyl Lord".
The diamond order ventures deeper into the cave and comes upon a mountain of bones. Then they heard devastating voices from the shadows: "Who dares to come to our territory? Are you foolish mortals?" and the Hylian army chants, ''Stay back, you disgusting monsters." Frederick the brave bellows. Frederick the brave points his claymore at the Hyl army: ''I'll take care of this gang; I have an idea".
Frederick the brave walks a few steps forward and yells, ''I have come to defeat the Hyl lord and free the Orario mountains; where is the temple and the Hyl lord?'' The Hyl army starts laughing and mocking Frederick, the brave ''Hylians know how to defend their mountain; he couldn't even take out 50 of us, and he wants to defeat the Hyl lord, what a weakling." One of the Hylians says it is a wispy voice.
"Don't underestimate us." Frederick the Brave mutters in confidence before drawing the dark claymore. William Dwayne pulls out his arcane staff and begins to channel mana into it; his eyes turn bright yellow, and a massive blast of orange light erupts from the staff, sending hundreds of Hylians flying across the cavern. Kobi the fabled takes out his telescope and sees that there are still more than 10,000 Hylian soldiers. ''Hylians keep coming!'' George the Devious begins to grow, tearing his shirt off, revealing his gigantic bulking muscles, and running at full speed towards the Hyl army. Cian the cowardly grabs William Dwayne's shoulders and says, "Hey, what should I do?" William Dwayne places his staff on the ground, releasing a lava pool beneath the Hylians for a brief period of time. Then he turned to Cian, the cowardly "You can do this! Fight! For the diamond order!"
Cian the Cowardly nods and charges towards the Hyl army, screaming wildly with a spear in his hand. Kobi the fabled takes out his cutlass and stampedes towards the Hylians, and William Dwayne creates a massive wall of fire in front of Frederick the brave. ''Go! I'll keep the Hylians at bay!"
Frederick, the brave, rushes through the wall of fire and heads down a large tunnel. ''Let's see that new-found strength of yours'' Kobi states to Frederick the brave.
''I'll show you all what I can really do." Frederick the brave yells.
Meanwhile, Cian the Cowardly engages the Hylian army, stabbing a Hylian in the heart with his spear and kicking another one in the chest. ''I can do this; I am brave! Mother, give me strength!" Cian the Cowardly screamed with tears in his eyes. Frederick the brave climbs to the peak of Mount Hylia and finds a large temple. William Dwayne spots Frederick the Brave at the top of Mount Hylia. ''Frederick the Brave has made it; hurry, Cian, and George the devious; lets take out these Hylian army scum'' William yelled.
William rushes after Frederick the brave, as he must not face such a strong foe alone. ''Kobi, Cian, and George, leave these Hylians and help me get to Frederick before he hurts himself!'' William yells at Kobi the Fabled and the gang, ''George! Kobi! Cian! Help me get to Frederick before this ends terribly!''
''Right" George The Devious states in response to William Dwayne and kicks a Hylian soldier, "I'm sorry, this must be done." George, the devious, apologises to the Hylian army. William Dwayne casts a freezing spell on the ground beneath the Hyl army, causing the ice to spread rapidly through the cave floor. All of the Hylian soldiers get frozen to the floor as the Diamond Order chases after Frederick, almost slipping over in the process.
''Its too late'' William Dwayne yells, noticing Frederick the Brave at the top of Mount Hylia's temple with his claymore ready to go for the Hylia lord. George the devious punches a large stone statue at the bottom of the temple and creates an avalanche of rocks that traps William Dwayne and Kobi the Fabled inside. ''Were too late to stop him," George the Devious yells at Cian the cowardly.
They rush towards Frederick as the Hyl army struggles to break free from the ice and rocks.
Frederick The Brave jumps into the temple with the dark claymore and engages the Hyllord. ''Were almost there, Frederick; you can't lose," William Dwayne muttered.
Frederick begins his assault by lunging one foot forward. The Hyl lord takes a stand and can feel the presence of a great power emanating from the dark claymore. The Hyl lord takes a step back. He takes out his seismic hammer and smashes it down into the earth.
Frederick sidesteps the Hyl lord, dodging the smash, but the earth shatters around Frederick, and a small crater is formed. This doesn't phase Frederick at all, as he is filled with the dark claymore's energy; it will only take one hit to finish. Frederick's eyes glow with a dark purple hue.
''I will not lose'' Frederick charges forward with great speed. The Hyl Lord blocks with his great hammer; it takes great strength to wield it.
Frederick slams his blade towards the gullet of the Hyl lord, with the power of the dark rose emanating within him. The Hyllord attempts to block, but the claymore breaks through and is met with the flesh of the Hyllord. The sword shatters on contact, and Frederick falls to his knees. ''How did this happen? All this determination is for nothing. What use is all of this power for?" Frederick states. The Hyl lord grabs Frederick by the throat and beats him till he is unrecognizable. Frederick's vision goes black, and he hears the voices of William Dwayne: "It's too late!"
Cian the Cowardly and George the Devious arrive at the entrance to the temple, but it's too late. ''FREDERICK< NOOOOO!'' they stare in awe as the most evil being they have ever encountered throws Frederick's lifeless body into the deep cavern below.
William Dwayne cries in agony. Kobi the fabled runs full speed to attack the Hyl lord but gets thrown back with ease by a seismic wave. George's skin begins to boil and bulge yet again. He loses all humanity and grows larger than he has ever been, matching the size of the Hyl lord. ''GEORGE!!'' Cian the Cowardly screams.
He charges towards the Hyl lord, tears well up in his eyes as the Hyl lord smashes his seismic great hammer into George's body and smashes through all his bones. George's eyes roll back into his head. But he will not give up hope yet. ''I will not die here!'' George screams as he begins to heal rapidly. ''What are you?" the Hyl lord mutters in shock.
George's bones regenerate rapidly; he begins to swell to an unbelievable size and pummels the Hyl lord into the floor. ''What? You are merely a mortal. How can you be this powerful?'' the Hyl lord mutters. ''I am George the Devious! AND I WILL KILL YOU FOR WHAT YOUVE DONE'' George screams in anger.
William Dwayne creates a spell to try and snatch the seismic hammer from the Hyllords grasp. He can see it shaking in the Hyllords hands. William teleports the seismic great hammer into George's giant-sized hands. ''Fuck off, you killed our friend!'' George takes advantage of the Hyllords defenceless state and smashes him repeatedly with the seismic great hammer into the temple floor. ''I won't stop till you die!'' George cries out.
The seismic shockwaves have caused the roof to fall apart, and sharp spike-shaped rocks fall from the roof towards George the Devious. The Hyl lord quickly regains his senses and distances himself from George's grasp. Suddenly, a large, sharp rock falls towards the Hyl lord, but he grabs it and flings it towards George's heart. Out of nowhere, Cian the cowardly jumps in front of George, taking the blunt of the attack. "Cian, noooo!" George screams.
George quickly grabs the Hyl lord and says, ''YOU WILL PAY!!!'' George throws the Hyl lord towards the ground repeatedly, creating a large crater in the centre of the temple. In George's blind rage, he doesn't notice his friend Cian bleeding out on the floor. William and Kobi rush to his side. ''GEORGE, we need your help'' William screams, but George is too full of rage to hear anything and pummels the Hyl lord with the seismic great hammer.
William Dwayne grabs Cian the Cowardly in his arms and says, Speak to me. William Dwayne's eyes begin to swell up, and Cian the cowardly smiles up at William and Kobi. ''W-was I a coward, brothers?" Cian the cowardly manages to say, "You saved my life; you aren't a coward!" George screams out in rage.
The seismic shockwaves of the hammer are slowly breaking down the temple even further, and rocks continue to fall. William carries Cian the cowardly over to a safer location, and Kobi and William stay with Cian until he mutters his last breath. Ian, the cowardly, dies in Williams arms. ''I WILL AVENGE YOU," George screams. "We should all avenge our fallen brother. William Dwayne speaks out.
Georges seismic shockwaves continue to bring the templecrashing down. William Dwayne begins to channel his mana into his staff at a rate unbeknownst to any of his friends. A hidden ability of the Dwayne bloodline is to draw out the person's full potential. A blue vortex of pure mana appears in the air, creating power equal to that of a thousand suns. "You killed my friend. Die." William Dwayne points his staff at the Hyl Lord. The magic inside his staff is immeasurable as it hits the Hyl Lord, and he is obliterated without a trace, his entire body evaporating in an instant. George the Devious is amazed and cries in pain at losing two of his brothers. ''I can't believe he's gone," George cries in devious cries. ''Cian and Frederick were our brothers." William Dwayne places his hand on George's shoulder. "I'm so sorry."
Kobi the fabled turns to William and George and says, "Come brothers, let's get out of here." Kobi the Fabled leads George the Devious and William Dwayne out of the collapsing temple. The remaining diamond order escapes the collapsing temple and makes their way out of the Orario Mountains.
