The New Mission - Zallo Village Arc

It was a day like any other in Echilia, when Honō Hantā was going to the guild due to an urgent summons. “So, you got an urgent summons as well then, I assume Honō?” Said a voice coming up from behind him.

It was his good friend Witz Meka.

“Ya any idea what it could be?” Replied Honō

“Nah, not a clue you know my father he could be calling us in to get him some tea from the store for God sake” whined Witz

If it were to get tea it would not have been the first time it had happen in Honō’s four years in the guild. Witz’s father for a guild master and leader of a nation truly is a great man, but a lazy one when it comes to going somewhere. Witz is the same never leaves unless there is a quote on quote “urgent” summons or when she wants to show off a new invention that she’s made.

“Well, the apple doesn’t fall far then does it then” retorted Honō in an annoyed tone

“Ummmm heh no idea what you're talking about” Witz replied.

“Really you don’t say? anyway we’re here now” pointed out Honō as he opened the door of the guilds base.

As Honō and Witz made their way to the guild masters office which was at the top of the of the stairs on the third floor, Witz remarked “That for a nation of advancement you’d think they’d have elevators or escalators in here by now”

After they entered the room, they were greeted by Armatura Meka the head of the Meka guild and Witz father. “I have a new mission for the two of you” stated Armatura looking at the two of them.

“Well, no hell dad out with it what’s the mission?” Remarked Witz sarcastically.

“Fine if you really want to know a pack of C-rank aether beasts has been spotted around the village of Zallo near the edge of the great forest of Mithhar. I want the two of you to go, have a look at the situation. Then if you deem it fit exterminate them or come back and report” replied Armatura in response to his daughter’s bad mouth.

“Sounds interesting but why us their only C-rank beasts it’ll be like poaching rabbits to us?” Questioned Honō

“Remember how I said it was a pack of beasts?” Responded Armatura

“Yes” said Honō still curious about the mission and its difficulty

“Well, the pack is supposedly that of thirty beasts regarding what the report from the village said. So, is it up to your standard of hunt now, Honō?” Asked Armatura

“Yep, sure does and so we better make a head start right Witz?” Said Honō

“Don’t remember saying I’d do it but sure ya I’m ready to go” whined Witz checking her pockets for stuff.

“Well then that settles that then try get to Zallo village by tomorrow night” said Armatura thinking about how he’ll finally have some peace and quiet when he gets home since Witz will be gone now.

“Well let’s get going then Witz” said Honō standing up from his chair and gesturing to the door for them to leave.

After they left the office, they made their way back to the guild entrance. “So, you wanna go now or in an hour” asked Honō while stretching.

“In an hour need to head to the lab and pick up a few bits for the mission” replied Witz after a long yawn as it was still early in the day.

“Ok then here’s a plan I go get the coffee and you get the gear” suggested Honō

“Sure, you remember how I like my coffee right?” Said Witz

“I’d be scared if I didn’t after four years of getting you and your father's coffees” remarked Honō. And so, the two set of to get ready for the new mission in the village of Zallo.
