**FOUR WEEKS EARLIER**
Recca stood outside the church in Talos and everyone had came out to see him off. His mother was extremely proud of him, joining up with the Black Order was a prestigious thing. Although many of the people didn't want to see him leave. Recca had been one of the better priest at the church and the best thing that happen to them there since he and his mothers arrived. The emotional good buy was starting to get to him as he stared at his mother.
"Mom," he said to her as she looked deep in to her eyes. Holding back the tears he embraced her. She released him and looked at him, "Remember the teachings, and don't worry about me. The church will take care of me, just like they always have," she said with a smile on her face. He reached down and grabbed his bag. Inside was his bible, 'The Holy word of Ristoth' also inside was his holy symbol, bedroll change of priest clothes, water skins and enough food to get him to Alvina. He would travel north towards the sea to a port city by the name of Valcia. From there he would take a ferry to his destination. He waved one last good buy to everyone before boarding the carriage that was waiting for him. With one last look, she smiled say back and enjoyed his ride.
It took a little over 5 hours to get to Valcia, with having to stop to rest and feed the horses. It was mid afternoon by time he arrived and he headed straight to the docks. It took a little over an hour to find a ship headed to Alvina near Dragon's maw. It would take a day or so to reach it so he decided he would offer blessing on the deck of the ship to anyone who needed a little pick me upper. Many of the ships crew went to see him on their time off to speak with him and hear the word. It was even more special coming from him cause he had the mark of the gods, and he is a Monsignor of Ristoth. Even though he did these blessing for free people still felt the need to give him something.
*AFTER ARRIVING IN ALVINA**
After arriving in Alvina. Departing the ship he could see Dragon's maw in the distance. Seemed to be about a few hours walk, he smiled cause he loved to see new things and places. "Excuse me handsome," He heard a call of a woman voice from behind him. He turned to see a beautiful woman's approaching him. "We don't get many priest around here, especially one from Talos. You looking for fun?" Recca smiled at her, "I really have to get to Dragon's Maw..."
"Oh come on, it won't take long, maybe." She placed her hand on his shoulder and leaned in. With a smile on her face and a wink and brush of her hair, he smiled back. "Okay sure, Lets go have fun. But only for a little while." Recca laid there in a pool of his own sweat. The breeze blowing across his skin and he was huffing and puffing. "Wow, That was fun." He said with a smile on his face. "Never have I experienced such joy, and fun with out laughing. And this Feeling feels great. What do you call his act?" The woman looked at him, I call it Yoga, it help builds your core and give you a wide range of motion. Your a natural, I am glad you like it, you're my first student. I am hoping it will catch on soon. Thank you for your time."
Recca smiled putting back on his shirt and grabbing his bag he was off to Dragon's Maw. When he arrived he asked for direction to the Black Order headquarters. Once he found the place he was amazed at how many people were out and about doing things. It reminded him the military back in Talos. Everyone seemed to have a job, so he found the person that can best point him in the direction of the captain. But that didn't happen. Someone recognized his clothes and knew he was one of the new recruits. "Hey Priest boy!" Someone called out to him, He looked around a spotted someone waving him over. "Hey, whats your name?"
"I am the Monsignor of Ristoth, Recca Heartseeker." The man pulled out a piece of parchment and looked for his name. "Ah yes, your finally here. Your company has already left. Only take what you can carry over there, leave the rest here someone will take it to your room. someone will take you to company they should be a few hours ahead of you. We got word a couple of weeks ago that Fort Gansforth, in Sedan Territory near the Takari Border has fallen. It was under siege but they didn't last to long. So now we are sending a scouting party ahead while we finish mobilizing here and get ready to launch a counter attack to reclaim it."
Recca kinda understood what was going on, he was going into battle just shortly after arriving. Not a big deal this was what he signed up for. He met with his team had slight introductions and what not. But it was time to get down to business.
*PRESENT*
Silus was the leader of the small company of scouts. Recca drew his weapon and prepared for a signal to attack. Five orcs and a warg should not be much of a problem he thought to himself. He Followed behind Silus as he inches closer, Recca was ready but he wonder if everyone else were, but he quickly pushed them thought aside. He needed to be alert, and focused.
