8 Chapter 8 (2/2)

”Oi mr boss dwarf sir, and Davis-bun.” ”Davis-bun?” Davis muttered to himself, ”Three said why not just add a blade to the top or back of the axe so you can go stabby stabby with the things?”

Davis's jaw dropped as he stared at the girl, then to Three, then back to the girl. ”I'm an idiot!” He shouted, ”Why the frogbiscuitunderworldstickdwellers didn't I think of that, You're brilliant!” He said walking up to Three and patting the large man on the shoulder, ”That will do, that will do, brilliant, simply brilliant!” Davis continued heaping on praises almost glowing with happiness, guess he must really be attached to those axes. Three was taken aback by character reversal, from stoic to bouncy, way too much like Sumi. Three frowned at the thought.

The dwarf nodded thoughtfully, ”Ya that would work, will need to a bit of tinkerin on those axes once we get back then boyo. Alright next!”

The next to speak up was Emmi, she was tall for a girl at around six foot, only slightly shorter than Talin. Her shoulders were broad, but that did not detract from her femininity, she had her dark hair in a pony tail, bangs hanging on either side of her face. She had amber eyes that glinted in the sunlight, also a somewhat stern face, determined. Her skin was on the paler side, but nowhere near as pale as Three's. ”My name is Emmi Furvenhart, and my weapon of choice is the greatsword, My 'quirk' such as it is.” She scoffed at that part, furrowing her brows, ”Is that I want to be the party leader.”

”That be ya quirk?” The dwarf asked her frowning, ”Yes that is my quirk” she answered.

”Why this be a quirk, nothin be wrong with a female leader, no matter, do the rest of you agree with her being the party leader?” He grumbled.

”Me and Talin already accepted her as our leader, she's actually pretty damn good at it.” Davis said shrugging. Everyone stared at Sumi and Three, Three just shrugged, he didn't want to do it, and he thought Sumi wasn't well suited for the job so Emmi might as well do it.

”Fine with us Big Stick, you get to be the boss!” Sumi said grinning at her. Three could see Emmi mouthing big stick, furrowing her brows even further.

”Right then, wha about the two of yas?” The dwarf said pointing to them.

Three stepped forward first, he tapped his chest.”I big, body strong, I shield.”

The dwarf nodded with a smile, ”Ya want to be a vanguard? Right at the front of the battle facing the wave of monsters and their bloodlust head-on?” Three nodded his consent, ”Ha, ya be a good fit for that me thinks, I also be a vanguard, our role is dangerous but if we do it right yer party be all the stronger for it, what be ya weapon of choice?”

Three shrugged, ”Never use weapon.”

”Ya haven't used a weapon yet eh? Then how about I teach ye about me own weapon, I be usin this baby here called a Mual, it be a heavy weapon so only strong fellas like you n me wield it, to top it off I have this beauty of a dwarven shield to protect meself and me party, altho I be thinkin a tower shield would suit ye best.” The hammer the dwarf pulled out was a really heavy looking war-hammer with golden engraving on the steel head. The shield was a layered square block that was drawn into a point at the bottom, The dwarf explained that he could extend the point with what little mana he had to wedge it into the ground, giving him the extra sturdiness he needed to withstand even the heaviest of charges, he explained proudly that a calvary charge would smash themselves to pieces against a proper dwarven shieldwall.

Three eyed the weapons with interest and nodded to the dwarf, eager to have weapons of his own.

The dwarf smiled at his newly found student and told him they could get his equipment from the cart of spare weapons and armour that Cilestius had brought with him.

Then the dwarf looked at Sumi the last one to speak. Sumi still had her dark-blond messy hair in a ponytail with bangs, bright green eyes, her heart shaped face was almost always glowing with excitement, and her energetic smile could easily light up a room. Her skin was neither tan nor pale and was for all intents and purpose normal, disregarding the fact that she was made from string and cloth or that a color would ripple over her skin if she felt a particularly strong emotion. She was short, barely above a 5,4 , but her presence made up for her lack of size.

She stared at the dwarf, ”Mr dwarf boss sir, you still haven't told us your name!”

The dwarf blinked, Three blinked, The rest blinked. ”Ya be right girlie! I be so into this teacher thing I forgot!” The dwarf let out a deep barreling laugh, ”Well let me introduce meself, better late then never I always say! I be Grimli Bruntherfust, pleasure to be makin yas acquitance!”

”A pleasure!” Sumi said grinning, ”I be Sumi, I be havin a body made of strings and cottons and cloths, I be havin a strong body, I have no beauty of a warhammer to call me own, mr dwarf boss Grimli sir.” The short girl said imitating the dwarfs accent with a huge smile. The dwarf wasn't offended in the least and roared with laughter patting Sumi hard on her back. ”I knew ya be a fun lil human girlie, Ya still be a bit to tall for dwarves or I'd be introducin ya to me son n the family,”

Sumi grinned down at him ”I'd be honored to be introduced!”.

”Well the party be filled with physical abilities, how would ya like bein a mage, throwin fire n thunder around?” The dwarf said still grinning.

”Sounds like fun sir!” Sumi said saluting the dwarf.

Grimli laughed and nodded, ”Well head on over to the mage then he be teachin ya a couple spells the quick way to get ya started, the rest of yas get prepared and get some suplies, me n giant over there will be gettin 'im a weapon n shield and I be teachin him how ta use them, in three hours we be headin inside the dungeon!”

Each of them headed off to do the tasks assigned to them, Three had to admit he was somewhat excited about entering the depths.
