Having hired employees to excavate the site near Relin, Axel started on his first step to completing his rites. Toran, being the location of the first Arena master, was the obvious destination. With a simple word, he Teleported to Toran's square. 

Upon his arrival, the first thing he noticed was the massive temperature difference. Quickly shedding his cloak, Axel took in the sights. The city had seen some hardship and was on its way to being rebuilt. Word had reached him of an attack a little over a month ago on the normally peaceful city and how several heroes defended it. The fight must have been vicious to have caused so much damage. 

Axel noticed he had no idea where the Arena was. He spots a man sitting in the square. Axel simply walks up and asked, "Excuse me, could you point me towards the Arena?"
