    After some time Kaz could see the city over a hill, with its giant stone walls, billowing smokestacks of all different colors, and stream of caravans going to and from the city viathe main roads. As Kaz stood at the top of the hill with his cane, he cloaked himself in illusion making him appear to others as anman in his early fiftieswith white hair and a majestic maneadorning the lower half of his face, giving him the look of an old but strong lion. Kaz also now appeared as if he wore reenforcedleatherarmor that seemed to haveserved him for years, lastly onhis hands he wore brown leather gloves with studded metal on the knuckles. Satisfied with hisdisguise as a old, strong, and experienced adventurer he made his way towards the entrance nearest tohim.

    Myfriends and I wherefinally back from our latest adventure together, and ready for some time off at our bace in the city of Kain. We are the topranked adventurers in the kingdom,making us also the strongest in the kingdom. We have our bace hear in Kain because this is the city we startedadventuring in 10 years ago, it feels so long ago. We are a party of four and have alwaysgottenquests together, with the twins Tanya and Lila as our main fightersusing swords as thereweapon ofchoice, then my bestfriend and most happy go lucky of thegroup Jaxacting as thetank with a massive axe and towershield almost as tall as him standing at 6''5", then theres me the leader andstrategist grey I am gifted with the ability to control mana to make magic. I have alwase stood at the back of the frayissuing commands andgiving buffs/heals to myfriends,don''tget me wrong I can dish out some seriousdamage but have alwase ben more of an information gathering type of person.

I was startled by the strength in his voice, onecould almost feel the poweremanating from him. Ofcourse only I was able totrulysense the energy. Even without my epicskills one could feel he was powerful by the way he spoke as if he wasabsolutelysure heownseverything,not that he wascondescending in any way, (as most nobles are)just that when he spoke it was as if it where a man speaking to achild, knowing he was better than you but never holding it againstyou as itwent your fault. "Y-Yes, itshouldn''t be long. Itusually only takes about half an hour."Jayanswered.He was startled at first asno-one had talked to him that way in a long timesensed his father passed, it was alsohelpful that he was 7 feet tall."Well then, I thank you."the man sated as heturned his attention away from them and unto the sky where a flock of birds where flying by.
