"Good morning, how can I help you?"

"I wanted to see if there was a quest for a party of two," Gold said as he walked to the counter with the chain in his hand, "Maybe something with guarding or similar."

"Let me see," She noticed the bronze plate on Gold's robe, "Well, before I do anything," She reached in one of the drawers, "Here, two silver plates, I will take those bronze ones back."

"But, what did we do to deserve these?" He said trying to act humble, "I only did one quest, and nothing else."

"You save Lady Liz, you save our village and you ask for nothing from us," She said, "We decided to give you these, since you have to be recommended, you received a town's recommendation."

"Thank you," He said as he replaced his plate, "Miia, stand up," Miia rose to her feet and he replaced the plate on her s.h.i.+rt and handed both back to the receptionist, Miia sat down once again, "Now, is there a quest for a silver party of two?"

"So let me see," She turned around and looked at a bulletin board that was covered with papers, "Let's see here," She pulled one down, "There is a quest that was submitted recently, to help deal with a vampire problem in a town not far from here, but no one was in measures of taking on the quest, so maybe you two could take it?"

"Yes, gladly, how much does it pay?" Gold asked, "And where is this town?"

"It would be 50 silver coins and for the location, I think," She turned around and searched through a bunch of maps, "I think I have a map, here you go," She unrolled it, "The town is there so about a day's worth of walking."

"Can I borrow the map?" He said as she rolled the map, "I don't have one."

"Of course, of course, here you go," She handed him the rolled map, "So I a.s.sume you accept, here, you will need this," She handed them a small letter with the message from the town, "Show it to them and they should let you in and tell you about the problem."

"Thank you," He said as he walked to the door with Miia walking by his side, "Have a good day."

"Bye!" The streets were still empty. Gold lead the path and began walking towards the northern exit of the town. The path was a simple dirt path that climbed a small hill and then descended into a valley. Gold knelt down and removed Miia's collar. She smiled at him and began talking.

"Master, do you like me?"

"Like you? In what way? As a follower or do I like as in love?"

"Whatever you think, master," She sighed. He stopped walking and lowered himself and gently lifted her head with his hand. She blushed and had wide eyes as he looked at her, "M-master?"

"Then I like you, yeah, I like you," He said nodding his head, "You know that you can walk like humans, you don't have to be on all fours," He laughed and began walking again, "You aren't a dog."

"O-okay master," She stammered as she got up and ran to catch up, "What are we going to do in the town, master?"

"Kill some vampires I a.s.sume, maybe I can let you have some fun," She looked at him cheerfully, "As in killing vampires," She sighed. He shook his head and they continued to walk. "Tell me how long you were here before I came?"

"Um, I think 12 winters, master," She said as they walked, "I missed you so much, I am sorry for not staying with you, I am sorry I left you, I am sorry, I am sorry, master, I missed you," He placed his hand on her head and rubbed it, "I love it when you do that, master."

"Now, let's try to get to the town by dusk or even before the setting of the sun," He said as he looked at the sky, "A little more walking, and we should be fine."

The sun was setting as they approached a walled city. The fields were battle torn, and the city was barricaded. The city was surrounded by a ditch and high walls. They approached the ditch where the bridge had been lifted. Several guards aimed at them with bows and one called to them.

"What do you want with this city?"

"I came to accept a quest that your city had sent to the neighboring town," He held out the letter, "This should be reasonable proof," One of the guards grabbed a one-eyed binocular and looked at the letter. He turned to the others and nodded. The door opened and they walked in, "Thank you."

"Follow me, our leader would want to see you," He said as he lead them down the street and towards a large house in the middle of the city, he opened the door and gestured that they enter. They entered and the guard led them onto a circular pedestal. Gates lifted around them and locked them in. Miia turned to the soldier and leapt at him. Gold held the chain and she was pulled back and fell onto her back and returned to his side and looked at the ground regretfully. A man walked into the room and lifted his hand and began casting a spell.

"Tier 9, cast Light of the Heavens," A ma.s.sive beam of light fell into the circle. After a few seconds, the light faded and the man signaled for the gates to be opened, "Welcome, I heard from the guards that you came to help us with the vampire problem, sorry about that, it is just for security."

"But how would you get rid of use after if we were vampires?"

"A fire spell," He explained, "But why do you ask?"

"Let me introduce myself, I am Gold, a high tier Magic Caster, this is Miia, my follower, we came here after seeing this request," He walked forwards and handed him the scroll, "This is the town, correct?" The man unrolled the scroll and nodded.

"Honor to meet you Sir Gold, my name is Daniel, Daniel Lightbringer, I am the town's priest," Daniel introduced himself, "Follow me, the chief will probably like to talk to you," He began walking, "But what do you mean by high tier Magic Caster? Do you specialize in anything?"

"Nope."

"Like what spells do you know?"

"Ever heard of Holy Smite?"

"The creator's judgement? The banis.h.i.+ng spell? I have heard of it but I don't think I could even cast such a powerful spell even if I am a holy mage," He looked puzzled, "I can only use Dominion Authority to then use Holy Smite, but that isn't my spell, but why did you ask me about it?"

"No reason, I am just looking into practicing tier 10 spells, I only know a few."

"a f-few tier 10 sp-spells?" He stammered, "Like what?"

"Dragon Hide and Enjoyable Pain, so no offensive ones," Gold said as they entered a larger room. They walked closer and Daniel bowed in front of a woman sitting on a throne. She scanned them and then looked at Daniel as he began to speak.

"My lady, this is a party that has come to help us with the vampire raids," He rose after she gestured for him to, "A Magic Caster and a follower, they are silver plates."

"I noticed," She said coldly, "So you two accepted our request, thank you, if I heard well, you are a Magic Caster, what spells do you control?"

"I master most magic that humans can use," He explained, "Me and Miia work well together and I think this shouldn't be so difficult."
