A beautiful day as it usually is on the island. The scent of the sea with the sound of the waves are normally relaxing to visitors... but not to the dwarf, for he disliked large bodies of water and the scent of the sea, but he needed to make this trek because of the information his ravens had told him; a Rune Knight with promising skill had just reached the rank of S. Unaware of any worthy ceremony made for the knight the dwarf might have missed, but cared not, for a true ceremony for a warrior is a test of their martial skill.
"But why care so much about this knight?" Huginn asked as he perched upon the shoulder of Brone Heavyaxe who sat in the rowboat, rowing the oars towards the small island called Kahu Rock just off the coast of Luluhawa Island.
"Rune Knights are the protectors of the nation" Brone said with the hint of pride and determination in his voice,
"When hel raises and fires burn, mercenaries won't come without coin, but the knights are the first to take up their weapons for their land" the dwarf exhaled a deep loud breath through his nose, already anticipating the strength of his opponent.
"Take great care, Brone, he is no mere mortal, he has what some of us seers call a 'divine spark'" Muninn landed upon Brone's other shoulder as the dwarf continued to row. Unlike his brother, Muninn showed more concern for his ally. Upon laying an eye on the Rune Knight, he learned all that he needed to off the warrior.
"No mere mortal, good, remember my goal, I want to make sure Fiore has strong defenders" For a moment Brone thought about his battles with the terrors of other worldly creature and the rumors of terrible Dark Guilds and warlocks that hide within the shadows of Fiore.
"Don't give me a whole essay on 'em, just tell me what weapons he favors and two of his strengths" The dwarf didn't enjoy longwinded explanations on anything, such lectures tend to put him to sleep and he lack patience for such things; but he needed to know of any dangerous details. Before in his earlier days of combat, he would rush in without thinking things through, desiring to learn of his opponent in battle, but that tactic nearly cost his life several times, now understanding that some beings, especially mages, have life-threatening magicks, and Muninn knew of his concern.
"He is a swordsman, a user of fire magic, but not mere novice fire... he is known as an Inferno Dragon Slayer" This excited the dwarf, he has heard of Dragon Slayers, but never had a chance to meet one, let alone test their prowess in combat, his blood raced as he began to pick up pace and soon reaching the shore of Kahu Rock,
"Lastly... be careful of his hand, he has the ability to pull things, including people, into other dimensions" This worried the dwarf, for what he called 'Here-and-there' magic, they were always complicated to him, no matter how many times his friend Kaito would try to explain to him dimensional magic, the dwarf would get frustrated, never fully understanding it.
"Don't get touched by his hand, easy enough" Brone said nonchalantly as he stepped out of the rowboat and walked up the sandy path. The ravens were slightly annoyed that the dwarf didn't take this fight more seriously when it comes to caution, but the dwarf was indeed taking it seriously in a different sense; he was determined to make sure that this swordsman had the skills worthy enough to protect the land.
He eventually spotted the pink haired young man; by the look on his face, he seemed excited and expecting the dwarf, to which Brone smiled back, glad that he was being welcomed,
"Pleasure te meet, ya, call me Brone Heavyaxe, the Shield of Paradise Dawn!" He called to the young man as he continued to take his time and walk up the slope off the beach. To onlookers, the dwarf resembled his people surely, but what made him stand out was the ash-gray skin. Already heavily armored with his blue breastplate and his horned helm beneath his right arm, he shown a great smile,
"I desire a battle with the powerful Rune Knight called Toga!" Not wasting time, the dwarf slipped on his helmet upon his head, now hiding away his white hair and gray face. His heart beating, excited to finally meet blades with a dragon slayer.
