A couple of hours passed with both Rebecca and me relaxing above the corner tower. With her head leaning against my shoulder, we chat about the random things in life as well as the different things we have experienced during the game. Not before long, Kingston walks up to the tower, putting his hands near his mouth he shouts up to us.

"IAN! David has arrived!" - Kingston

Turning my head around, I nod at Kingston and both of us come down. Walking over with Kingston, we get to the Krepost building, where Kingston was putting down a large barrel of what seems to be equipment. Frank and his 6 vampiric beings, also put down a few smaller baskets, and a small group of goblin scouts was around taking out everything.

Luna and her pack were resting up with Celine, as she tends to their fur. Observing Luna, it seems like her body looked larger than the other wolves, but her stats were the same as I last saw it. Maybe she is getting close to an evolution? Similarly, Razor and Belle were also slightly larger than the average wolf, but still smaller than Luna.

David sees me walking over and smiles widely, spreading his arms around as he comes in for a hug. Making sure my spider legs don't hurt him, I hug him back patting his back as I do.

"Ian! It is good to see you. I was lucky enough to see the goblin scout coming from the Krepost before I got too far away from HavenFall. If I didn't see it, I don't know if I could have made it by dusk. I might have come during the night or even tomorrow." - David

"Well, it is good that you saw it. I'm also glad that the goblin scout got there in time. I was worried that it might have been too late. So, what did old man Hus make for us?" - Ian

"Most of it is for the troops, with a thinner stone plate. It is as durable as the thicker ones we used to use but lighter making it easier to move. Furthermore, there have been improvements in the stone weapons. They are a lot sharper than before and have a thin bronze coat on the edge. Instead of making a full bronze weapon, that was what he decided to do so that we would have a better chance at fighting.

As for arrows, Lime had the other blacksmiths make a huge amount totaling a thousand arrows with a bronze tip. Robin has said these arrows will do better than the ones we currently have as well as it pierces deeper than the stone arrows. That's for the mass-produced ones, as for you weapon Ian, here." - David

Taking out a long bronze spear, with a slightly curved tip, resembling part of the Alpha Jackalope Antler. The tip glistens as the orange glow from the sun shines over it. Taking the spear, I look at its stats and to my surprise, it was a lot stronger than it looked.

[Frenzy Antler

Attack: 60

+20 Agility

Skill: Frenzy, Sharp Point (Passive)

A spear created by an inspired blacksmith. His ingenuity helped forge a corrupted antler and bronze shaft, taking the slain monster's personality and creating a weapon that utilizes it. Its sharp point is something to be wary of, but its durable shaft is what keeps the spear together.

Made by Hus]

Frenzy (Active) - Enter a frenzied state, enhancing Agility by 10% and Strength by 10% for 5 min but lose 20% Agility and Strength for 30 mins. Cooldown 45 mins.

Sharp Point (Passive) - Enemies struck by the tip will experience 'Bleed' losing 1%HP every 10 seconds for 30 seconds. Can stack 5 times, dealing a total of 5%HP every 10 seconds for 30 seconds.

"This spear is amazing… Old man Hus outdid himself again." - Ian

"Oh before I forget, Solar and Lynn, made something too, out of the scrap pieces of metal. It seems to be a bracelet of some sorts, but it doesn't fit my wrists." - David

Taking the bracelet from David's hands, I inspect the item. Its cold touch reminds me of steel, but its orangey tinge tells me it is copper. On the inside of the bracelet, I see text that I couldn't understand, were they Elven?

[Elven Protection Bracelet

+10 Vitality

+10 Intelligence

Skill: Shield]

The item was very basic but maybe because of its 'basicness', it became very useful. Not only did it have a good stat boost but the skill it had was the same skill that Solar uses just without the elves' chant. Putting on the bracelet, let David help equip everyone else as we make the final preparations for the night attack. Gopopo helps move the arrows up to the wall while Gibing helps equip the demi-humans and the goblins making sure they were well-equipped to protect the Krepost while they were gone.

Kingston moves over to Celine, helping her with anything she needs for her own preparations. Luna and her pack got ready as well as they moved out of the Krepost and stood waiting for the signal to move out. She howls softly to her fellow wolves, making them all perk up as they look at the setting sun. Rebecca takes off the bronze equipment and lets me equip it as she wouldn't need it for tonight.

Putting it on, I slowly calm my breath, preparing my mental state for what is to come. Glancing around I see everyone doing the same, their nervousness slowly spreading to one another. Once I put on my armor, I made some noise hitting the butt of my spear against the ground. Their startled expression brought a smile to my face, as I walked to the front of the Krepost. Glancing to my left, I see Kingston grinning as well, as I approach the door of the Krepost, turning around and facing everyone.

"What's up, Ian? Why are you there?" - Kingston

"I am here to tell everyone just a few words. The tension around this place is as tight as a taut string, why is everyone so nervous? While we shouldn't be celebrating, there shouldn't be a need to be so nervous about what is to come. Tonight we venture forth to two battle fronts, the Glemt and the Tamer Village. The former was a place where we had no choice but to retreat from after a difficult battle and the latter was a place that invaded us when we were weak.

Tonight we will conquer both places. We will defeat the monsters in the Abyss and destroy the Heart. We will completely eradicate the Tamer Village, taking the monsters if possible and converting the villagers to our side. Now I will announce those who will be going to which front, starting with the Glemt.

David, Howard, Kingston, Gopopo, Gibing, Stellar, Kumi, 20 Zivotinjas, 15 goblin archers, 10 demi-humans, 5 hobgoblins, 5 goblin scouts, and me. Those mentioned please move out of the Krepost and stand ready down the hill. Make sure all preparations are complete within the next 5 to 10 minutes. There are potions given to us by Lucina in the barrels over here, take 2 each. Now for the other front, the Tamer Village. Celine, Frank, Yor, Gewari, Luna, and her pack, the rest of the Zivotinjas, Crizanna, Xabarils, and Ijagus.

Those I have not mentioned will be staying at the Krepost. Protect this place with your life until we come back. DO NOT let anyone inside. Rebecca will be taking care of you until I am back. That is all." - Ian

"Anything else?" - Kingston

"Nothing, Kingston. Please prepare yourself. I need you to be at the top of your game." - Ian

"Will do my lord." - Kingston

"Celine and Yor will be the commanders of the battle against the Tamer Village. Respect their orders and obey them as they will be the ones who will help you win. CELINE! Make sure the monsters you tame stay under your command. Do not let them be controlled either by the other tamer or by the other Zivotinjas. BELIEVE in yourself!" - Ian

"Yes, my lord. I will do my best!" - Celine

​ "And Kumi!" - Ian

"Yes, my lord?" - Kumi

"Make sure you keep the monsters under your command when we are going to the Glemt. They might be afraid of the new environment so make sure you keep them call as possible throughout the whole thing. They are important to the final stage of the battle and will be needed throughout the various battles." - Ian

"Yes, my lord. I will not disappoint you." - Kumi

"ALRIGHT! IT'S TIME TO MOVE OUT!!!" - Ian

"FOR HAVENFALL!!" - Everyone

After saying my final words, I meet up with Kingston at the bottom of the hill facing the grassland before us. Kissing Rebecca goodbye, I nod to everyone here with me.

It was time to leave and come back with a victory. Picking up my spear, I take the first step of many.
