14 Heath (2/2)

Heath waved at everyone, nervous. He was surrounded by important people and he was just an ordinary guy. There was the firstborn, the secondborn, and the one who was blessed by the goddess. ”H-hello, my name's Heath and my class is Knight.”

”Alright, now that we're all acquainted, I have something for everyone. It's a new invention from the craftsmen.” Kerym went to another room and came back, holding iron armor.

”What's that? It's so shiny.” Dilya asked, looking at the shiny iron armor.

”Honestly, I don't know, but the craftsmen said it was much stronger than our current leather armor, but it is heavier.”

”Well, I don't want it.”

”I know you don't want it, but Kigai or Heath might. I know I do.”

”Yes, I would definitely like one,” Heath said.

”Alright, one for Heath. What about you, Kigai?” Kerym asked.

”Umm, I focus on dexterity, so having a heavy armor would just slow me down. Thanks for the offer though.”

”Alright.” Kerym walked over to Heath. ”You can have this then.” He passed the armor piece to him.

Kerym walked out of the room and grabbed the rest of the armor, giving it to Heath. ”Oh yeah, I have another thing for you.” He walked back and grabbed an iron sword. Kerym went back to the living room and showed Heath. ”This is the sharpest and strongest sword the craftsmen have created, take care of it.”

Heath's eyes went wide when he saw the sword. It was the prettiest sword he's seen and it looked strong. He grabbed the sword as it was passed to him. ”I'll take care of it with my life.”

Kerym chuckled. ”You don't need to be so serious. Now, get ready. We're leaving as soon as everyone is ready.”

Karl looked at the iron armor as Heath took off his leather armor and wore it. Karl was amazed. They already knew how to use iron and it's been only a hundred years. Very impressive. After a few minutes of fiddling around, Heath finally got the armor on. It wasn't built for looks, but performance. Heath looked like a real knight with his new iron armor and sword.

”I'm ready,” Heath said, admiring his new armor.

”Alright, let's go then. Follow me.” Kerym said as he left the house.

The group followed behind Kerym as they went in the dungeon's direction. Kerym waved at the guards as they left the city and went on the jungle floor. They kept walking and walking. It was weird because they didn't even try to hide, and nothing attacked them. After a lot of walking, they arrived at the dungeon.

”If the scouts weren't lying, this should be it. Are you all ready?” Kerym asked them.

”Yes!” they responded back.
