It had been quite some time since the quartet left the forest. They had made their way through Littlerock and spent the night in Yashi home. The young boy was mesmerized by the structure of the home. The walls the ceiling and even the bath was made from stone. Even his house had wood and tiles for roofing, but Yashi had stone. The young boy slept in Butorega’s old room that night and in the morning they parted ways with the fair maiden Yashi, and were on their way to Shugo home of Hal Village. “Hay Mr. Valin”, spoke Shugo as they were a hour away from Hal. “Can you believe Yashi’s roof was made from stone? I had never seen such a structure. Then there was a whole room filled with suits of armor lining the wall. Yashi’s grandfather must have really like armor. I wonder if any of them were made by my own grandfather. He should have been alive during that time.”
The young boy just could not stop talking. His nerves were getting to him. He was finally going to be home. It had been so long since he had been to Hal village. His trip was filed with danger and hardship. Now he could return back to his world of bliss and peace. No more fighting bandits. No more being kidnapped. No more traveling harsh roads. He would be home.

"It was a little weird that it was made of stone. The armor was what bothered me more." Valin said preparing his traveling cloak. "And why does armor disturb you knight? Said the Nomad lazily. Valin ignored her and through the hood over his head and covered his eye. Lin got a little flustered and asked again but before Valin had time to answer three people appeared around the bend ahead of the trio and the knight shot his gaze down. "Shugo are they people you know? "Valin you need to calm down right little knight." Lin said looking at Shugo her usal tone softened to almost feminine.

From around the corner three cloaked figures walked up to the group. The first and second were mass two massive figures that were obviously men. One carried and axe and the second carried a spear with a hand axe attached to his side. The third figure carried a sword and was much smaller than the other two. From the shape the figure was a woman. “Well well what do we have here”, spoke Butorega as he removed the hood over his head. On his left was Bones and on his right was Faith. It had been a while since his companions were back at his side, but thanks to their hard work Butorega was back in the good graces of the coalition. Though in truth Butorega was starting to tire of the organization.
“Is that not the red eyed bustard that killed our boys”, spoke Bones as he readied his axe.
“I think so”, spoke Faith. “He is also the one responsible for Tiffany being captured. We have a blood debt to settle with you.”
“Stop”, spoke Butorega as he extended his arm in front of his two companions.
“What”, spoke Bones with surprise?
“We have no right to claim his life”, spoke Butorega. “This man simply defended the village he was in. We attacked with violent attentions and he responded in kind.”
“But what about the others”, spoke Faith. “Do they mean nothing.”
“Trust me”, spoke Butorega as he looked at Valin. “I want to split his skull open more than any of you, but there is a principle that must be followed. If we do not hold onto some measure of honor than we are no better than beast.” The two raiders looked at their leader and gave a slight nood as they sheath their weapons. Their eyes however watch Valin’s group carefully.
“I will say this if you draw steel I will respond in kind”, spoke Buotorega to Valin.

"You have to be kidding me. Shugo stay behind me. Lin stay on guard." Valin said throwing his cloak down. "What's going on knight? Who is this man." Valin dismounted Albues and turned to Lin. "His my enemy, Shugo's kidnapper and our friends Brother." Valin turned back to the brigand. "Butorega! Yes thats right I know your true name now villain. I'm going to ask that you surernder your weapon and come with me back to Littlerock. Yashi is waiting and so your aware she know our history and your lies."
Lin got between Shugo and Valin, drew her bow and readied to draw and arrow if needed. "So This is her snake of a brother. He reminds me of you knight." Valin felt like an arrow was shot into him when she said that.

“Oh somebody is coming down the road”, spoke Shugo as he looked up and saw the figures remove their hoods. His eyes lit up like the moon as he laid eyes on the orange hair brigand. There was no mistake this was the man that kidnapped him. “Butorega”, whispered Shugo as Lin stepped in front of him. The young boy stared on as Lin drew her weapon.

As Valin, spoke the name Butorega a frown crossed the brigands face. It seemed that his enemy had picked up on his name somehow though Butorega had an idea of how. When Valin mention his sister Butorega’s eyes widened. Not only did he know where he lived, but he also came across his sister. Yashi was currently the most precious person to him. The idea of his enemies getting their hands on him simply pissed him off.
As Valin raised his weapons so did Bones and Faith. “It seems like that little restriction was broken rather quickly”, spoke Faith.
“I don’t even see why we agreed with it”, retorted Bones.
“So you have met my sister”, spoke Butorega as he stepped out from the side of his two companions. His axe was drawn and murder could be seen in his eyes. “What have you done to her”, spoke Buotrega as he took another step forward. “You say you have told her the truth, but what more have you done. Know this Valin of Illia or whatever you call yourself I will do upon you tenfold what you did to my twin If you think my rage was great before it is nothing compared to the inferno that is soon to fall upon you.”

"Lin If he kills me shot otherwise hold do you understand." He then throw his lance aside. "Your sister is fine. In fact She convinced me NOT to kill you, All she wants is you to come home and I told her that I'd bring you back even if it killed me." Valin then started walking towards the brigands. Albues gave a low growl and tried to walk with the knight until Valin looked back and shook his head.
Lin readied an arrow and took aim at Buto. "You Better Be the man your sister thinks you are Brigand and not the man HE thinks you are! "Lin stay out of this! Butorega if your going to kill me hold on until I bring this boy back to his mother, This boy you kidnapped." The Knight kept closing the distance. "So whats going to be? Are you Butorega of Littlerock or Balgoth the destroyer?" Valin Challenged spreading his arms so he was completely open.

“You are not wielding a weapon, nor are you attacking me. The death of my men angers me greately, but we were the ones who attacked first.” Butorega sheathed his axe. Butorega then motion for Bones and Faith to do the same.
“Once again his stupid code”, spoke Bones as he placed his axe away.
“I will put up my sword when the archer places down her bow”, spoke Faith.
“Faith”, spoke Butorega. “There is no need to be so alarmed. They only have two capable fighters and one of them has unarmed himself. The archer can’t kill us all even if she wanted too. Just put up your sword. You are making the situation tenser than it has to be.” Reluctantly Faith sheathes her sword, but her eyes never left the archer.
“Young one”, spoke Buotrega as he looked at Shugo. “I am sorry for what I did, but at the time I was under orders. You have my apologies.” With that said Butorega turned back towards Valin. “I think I might come for this homecoming. It is the least I can do to make up for kidnapping the boy. After that we can settle whatever you have cooked up for me”, spoke Buotrega as he turned back toward the road. “Hal village is not far. Oh Bones take care of our business once we arrive.”
“Understood”, spoke the bandit as he walked ahead of the group. He wanted some feet between him and Valin. He expected the man to stab him in the back, or for him to stab valin in the back. Either way the two of them being near each other was not a good combination.

Shugo looked from behind Lin as Buotrega gave his apology. A sense of anger rose up in his stomach as he heard the brigand’s words. Sorry, he simply said sorry. All the hardship he has been through. The only thing he could say was sorry, and to make it worse he decided to follow them to Hal village. That brigand was going to his home town with him. Wait, how did he know it was Hal village. Valin had never mentioned the name of the village, nor did he imply that it was nearby. Either Butorega recognized him who he was, or the brigand had plans for the village. Either way a worrisome expression crossed Shugo face. The young boy gripped his lance tightly and began to walk forward.
“How is he and miss Yashi related”, whispered Shugo to Lin and Valin. The young boy could not believe such a kind person could be related to such a brutish and obviously evil man.

"You might like this back knight." Lin said handing Valin his lance back. "Thank you Lady Nomad." He then looked over to Buto's swordswoman. "Faith was it? It um...nic...an honor...Meet you on better terms." Lin sighed and fought back the urge to kick the idiot knight. She leaned down to Shugo and whispered "Our Valiant knight seems have a weakness for woman."
Valin collected himself "So Brigand what do you know of Hal?"

“I wish I could say the same”, spoke Faith as she walked ahead.
“Hal village”, spoke Butorega as he continued to walk. “Not much to tell you the truth. It is the town where I bought my axe”, spoke the brigand. “I also know it has some of the finest silks in Bern. It is also where Tif..”, spoke Butorega as he soon realized what he was doing. He had almost forgotten that Valin was still considered an enemy. It would not be best to reveal information about his comrades. “It is where they make the timber sealing used for boats.”
“Hay Buto”, spoke Bones as he stopped at the top of a hill. “I can see the village from here”, he spoke. Butorega arrived at the top of the hill only a moment later. From there he could see the half stoned half wood wall that surrounded the village. The lower half was made from stone while the top half was from wood. It was obvious that whoever designed the city once made the walls completely of stone, but time and age withered the rocks away. Their decedents replaced that which was once stone with wood. A single river ran through the town. Karts and wagons moved in and out of the gate.
“Well” spoke Butorega as he turned toward Valin. “You can find out yourself. We are only thirty minutes or so away from it”, spoke the brigand.

A weakness for women though Shugo as he stared at Valin from behind. He began to think back to their time spent together. Lin words began to make since as Valin has not shown much conviction against women as he did men. Even when miss Lin shot him he still did not seem mad. Though Shugo did not see it as a bad thing.
When Butorega started to talk about his axe a uneasy feeling began to rise in Shugo belly. There was only one blacksmith in Hal village, and that was his mother. The very idea made Shugo heart sink. His mother had sold a weapon to a man who killed people for a living. It was not like the knight. As the knight had a honorable duty to fight. This was a bloodthirsty brigand. “Who forged your weapon”, asked Shugo, but his voice could not reach the man. Shugo had not realized it, but he had unconsciously lowered his voice. He did not want to catch the brigand’s eye. There was something dangerous about this man.
As they came over the hill Shugo once again laid eyes on his home. It had been so long since he last scene it. The wheat fields outside of town had grown quite high since he left. Before he left they were baron strips of land that was just tilled by heavy plows. As small tear ran down his cheek as he opened his mouth to speak. “Home”, spoke Shugo in his normal voice.
“What was that”, spoke Faith as she turned to the boy.
“Nothing”, spoke shugo quickly as he gripped his lance.
“Whatever”, spoke Faith as she walked ahead of the group? “This is why I hate kids”, spoke Faith.

"Hey leave the kid alone. It you kind that took him away from his family." Valin snapped at Faith grabbing her arm. He let her go as quickly as he as grabbed her. "I see your company is as charming mine." Lin gave a growl that startled Albues.
Valin started down the hill then took a deep breath in "Butorega. I'm sorry if I killed any of your friends. But you have accept that what you and they do your going to get killed. Did the giant woman live?" "Valin!? You don't have to apologize!" "YES! Yes I do. All death is a tragedy and me killing bandits makes me no better then them." Lin was quiet for a minute then asked softly "Why do you care about their friend?" "Because If she's alive Im going to save her." Valin said without missing a beat and loud enough so that the whole group could hear.

“You’re a strange one”, spoke Butorega as he stopped and turned around. “First you claim to hunt me down with all your might and then you make a sudden shift to wanting to take me back to my sister. Now you ask about my comrade who you hunted with the Ilians to kill. I don’t know if you are weak willed man who bows to the words of a woman, or a knight with a very strong since of chivalry. Either way I am going to make this simple for you Valin of the crimson eye.”
Butorega walked up to the man and stared him in the eye.” First what me and my men did in that village was wrong. I know it, but that was what we had to do. Our honor demanded it and our hearts cried out for it. On the surface it may seem like we did it for gold or riches, and some of us did do it for such thing. However the core of my men did it for our comrades. Yes we realize that we can die and I have come to accept their deaths. I don’t hold anything against you for killing them, but at the same time I want to rip your head off. There is no need for you to apologize. You did your duty and they did theirs. You were just the better man at that moment end of story.” Butorega turned his back to Valin and began to walk back towards the front of the group.
‘And about Tiffany”, spoke Buotrega. “She escaped the cave and reported back in to one of our bases. However not long after that she was captured. We don’t know where she is, but we do know she is alive. That I can tell you,” with those words Buotrega began to walk forward again. “Come on we are almost near the town.

“Mr. Valins is not weak”, spoke Shugo, but he unconsciously lowered his voice again. The young boy was starting to realize that he was afraid of Butorega. Shugo gripped his spear again as he saw Butorega get in Valins face. He spoke of ripping his head off and terrible things. More and more he began to wonder how that theses two were related. Such a fierce man and such a nice woman could be related. But then he began to see it. The way Butorega spoke. His posture, his form, it all reminded him of Ms. Yashi when she was angry at Lin.
“Mr. Valin is not weak”, shouted Shugo finally breaking the internal barrier that kept him from yelling before. He stared at the brigand who stopped and turned around. His fierce eyes were now focusing on the young boy. Shugo heart rate began to accelerate and sweat began to pour from his head. He had done it. The one thing he should have not done. He had gained the ire of the bandit.
Butorega stopped and looked at him. “So you do have a voice”, spoke the bandit as he continued to walk. A sudden release came over Shugo as the pressure just seemed to vanish. He stood up to Butorega.
“Cheeky little kid”, spoke Bones. His voice brought him into Shugo attention. He had forgotten that he was even there.
