Three bright missile-like objects shot out from the long, cinder wand, darting towards a group of goblins dressed in leather armor, connecting with two, and only scratching the cheek of the third.

The one holding the wand was a figure in a forest green cloak, their hood had been thrown off to reveal a man of reddish hued skin. His long, icy blue hair wiped around his face as the effects of the force of his magic slowly began to subside, but his eyes burned a bright period color, staring intensely into the eyes of his enemies, who were a small band of goblin bandits, and two wolves.

"I told you before, and I WILL tell you again; GIVE ME THE GOLD YOU STOLE FROM THE MERCHANT... NOW!"

The Goblins, who before he had fired his spell, had simply laughed in the face of this young man, who had decided to come alone from a request on a bounty board to help an older man from losing everything.

Now the remaining four Goblins weren't going to take this man lightly anymore, charging at him with knives and flails at the ready.

But the young man was fast, jumping over their heads, and aiming his wand once more to fire a wave of electricity at them, connecting with every single one, and even killing one of the wolves. The man tucked his wand away once he landed, and pulled out a knife, throwing it at one of the Goblins, digging deep into one of the eyes, before it convulsed and fell to the ground.

"How the hell is one man defeating us so easily?!" The largest of the three remaining Goblins shouted, which the man could only assume they were the leader, "KILL HIM!"

A Goblin swung his flail while the man ducked, sailing only inches above his head, and clanging against the stone wall of the cave. The other had taking the opportunity of the enemy being distracted, as swung his knife towards his side, which had connected, and made the man cry out in pain. But the man still lifted his leg, and kicked away his attacker, stumbling backwards while holding his side.

"You should be better aware of your surroundings, little piglet!"

The man swung around to spot the leader towering over him, his short sword lunging down upon the man, knowing there wouldn't be enough time to dodge such a sudden move.

But instead, a massive hammer slammed against him, sending the leader flying against the wall, and hearing the sound of snapping bones, before the leader crumpled to the floor, dead.

"Oi! He has reinforcements!" The remaining members cried, turning to run deeper into the cave

But the now injured man held his hand up, and a searing hot ball of fire spat out from him, and exploded on the last of the bandits. They screamed as their flesh burned, and finally coiled and moved no more.

The wizard dropped his hand, losing enough blood to make the world around him a bit hazy, but hearing the sound of clanking metal against the stone floor, a massive hand held out before him.

"I heard the commotion from outside the cave as I was traveling. It was a good thing that I came, or you would have been dead!"

A giant grin was painted on the face of a massive man with long, flowing golden hair, and beautiful sky blue eyes. A small goatee was the only facial hair he had.

"T-Thanks..." the wizard replied, coughing a bit of blood from his mouth, before taking the giant man's enormous hand, though staggering a bit as the knight lifted him to his feet

"Do you think you're going to be ok...?" the man asked, genuine concern forced the smile away

"I... Think so... but I hate to inconvenience you, but do you think you could help patch me up? I didn't bring enough supplies to make it back into town. I thought I'd be able to come out of this scott-free, but I guess that's being a bit too confident, I suppose."

"A magic user like yourself shouldn't ever be taking on that many enemies alone in the first place, Mein Freund."

"I normally can handle myself just fine, but there were a bit more than I had anticipated."

The giant man held the wizard steady.

"The name is Reinhardt, and I would be happy to help you out."

"Dextrin, and I'm a Wizard, by the way."

"There are so many different kinds of magic users, it gets a bit blurred together sometimes."

Dextrin laughed.

"Alright, that's fair."
