Before leaving the castle to start their journey everyone had a lot of things to do. Picking up various items they had ordered from the blacksmith beforehand, buying supplies, and going to the social hub to check if anyone from the nearby town is there.
"You kids came, good, here are the things you ordered."
Reign and the others look at the equipment, there were numerous armor pieces for everyone there, even though they got some from the defeated enemies they were still using some rank D ones, they felt it was a must to change them for some rank C parts before setting out, so they went to Adrian a couple of days ago and ordered them, besides armor for them they ordered some for Greenie and the wolves as well.
Looking at the iron armor in front of him Reign nods happily, he was still using the rank D leather armor they got in the beginning, after numerous battles it was already in tatters.

The armor wasn't anything special but it was still better compared to their previous one, the iron plates on it were nicely made and put at vital spots, making sure to offer protection without limiting their mobility.
Greenie got the same armor as them, his was just a bit bigger while the wolves had specially made armor for them, it was still iron and leather and only defended their vitals, any more and it would compromise their movement.
Taking the items and paying for them they left for the market to stock up on the needed supplies, nobody wants to go hungry or thirsty in the wild, luckily their inventory is a great place for storing such things so they didn't need to carry all of it with them.
Finally, they entered the social hub where Reign and Shadow got surprised as Shadow's father replied to their previous messages.
Seeing that both he and his wife were alright they were relieved, after carefully reading the messages they understood that he was already a high level, probably around the same as them if not even higher, his reminder to not try anything dangerous and wait for him to find them made them smile, even though they were about to do the same thing he was worried about. In the end they replied to him and left, eager to explore the west and find the town.
"So, that would be everything we need right?" Reign asks everyone, he wanted to check one last time before they set off on their journey.
"Yeah, we have everything we need, time to go." Wolf nods in confirmation as they make their way to the gate. The soldiers at the gate see them and observe them as they come closer, they already found out that they were going to try and make contact with a nearby town, the mission was of very high importance and was incredibly difficult, making the soldiers worry a bit about them, after so many days they got used to this group leaving through the gate every morning, always excited to fight. They didn't want to see them die.
"You guys, be careful out there, you're the only bunch here that has so much potential, nobody wants to see you die before growing up." The same soldier that always told them not to die and cracked jokes with them at the gate came to them, this time the usual smiling face was changed to a more solemn one.
"Don't worry man, we always came back before, nothings gonna change this time." Reign steps forward and tells the soldier, he smiles in response while the gate slowly opens for them.
"I guess so, safe trip you little twerps and don't forget, no dying." Getting back to his position he smiles one last time at them before they turn around and leave through the gate.
"I do hope they survive, it's gonna be boring as hell here without them, these other players are seriously way too tame." Another soldier comes to him and says, his gaze still locked at the group.
"They're talented, much more than us, even the captain and vice-captain praised them for that, I really don't want to see them die so you." The soldier nods to him in confirmation as he says, shaking his head in the end he puts his hand in his pocket and takes out a cigarette, putting in between his lips he creates a small flame on the end of his finger to light it.
"But I have a feeling these guys won't be leaving us any time soon." He smiles mysteriously as he inhales the smoke.
"Acting all mysterious again huh, whatever." The other soldier shrugs his shoulders and goes back to the others.
Going through the forest slowly everyone was tense, even though they looked very calm and collected in the forest they were actually incredibly concerned, one mistake and the journey could end up fatal to them after all.
They were currently in the newbie forest's west side, even though the monsters here were too weak for them they still kept being cautious as the words from Eldar were still fresh in their mind, their bodies subconsciously tensed up, ready to face any enemy they might come across.
"Guys, I don't think it's a good idea to be so tense right now, we're only at the beginning after all and we might get mentally exhausted before getting to the dangerous part of the journey," Beast tells everyone while following them slowly.
"That's correct, if all of you continue like this then this trip will be over before truly even starting." Wolf looks at them with a slight contempt, he was used to situations like this after all and knew how to make his body as calm as possible, the others were not even near his level right now.
"Damn it, Wolf, we want to but, we just can't, how the hell are you so relaxed?" Reign curses at Wolf as he sees him being completely relaxed and calm.
"It's all in here." Wolf points to his head. "The more you think about the worse it is, just relax your mind and the body will follow, it's as simple as that, just think of this like a picnic, or any of our regular hunts." Shrugging his shoulders he continues moving forward while the others stop in their tracks and give it their best to calm down.
"Let's not stop, we'll just need to learn to do this during the journey, I don't believe that we'll get mentally fatigued so easily anyway." Reign shakes his head before standing up and continuing forward.
