Rangas Dinn stood next to his younger brother, Zannus, in the Izlude weapon shop. Young Zannus was in need of a sword after just completing his test to achieve swordsmanship, and the elder Rangas was there to help. Rangas was a lord knight, the highest rank a person on the path of a swordsman could obtain. Captain of the 4th group of the Alberta Knight Brigade, he was a well known man. Now, it was finally his younger brother's turn to start on the path of the sword, first being just a swordsman, then moving up to knight and then lord knight, as Rangas himself had done.
The line at the weapon shop was moving slowly, as many other new swordsman were there to buy their first proper swords and armor, then possibly of to train or get a bite to eat before heading off to their homes for training. Rangas tapped his foot impatiently and ran his fingers through his shaggy red hair. Zannus showed signs of impatience as well, tugging at his forelocks and shifting about uncomfortably.
So the line moved slowly yet surely, and eventually the two brothers made it to the front of the line and Rangas began to pick out armor for Zannus. Zannus wanted all the things that looked 'coolest', yet Rangas was more collected. He scanned over the weapons, testing power and asking for prices.
"Did you want a one handed sword, or a two handed one?" asked Rangas of Zannus. Rangas himself preferred a two handed sword, but he was more bulky in comparison to Zannus' own lean build.
"I imagine a one handed sword would be best…" said Zannus. Of course Zannus wanted a two handed sword like his brother, or even a battle axe. Yet he kept smart, knowing very well he wouldn't be able to ever wield such weapons like his older brother could.
And so, a strong one handed sword was bought for Zannus, as well as a pair of boots, a set of sturdy chain mail, and a light muffler to be worn over the mail. Rangas instructed Zannus on how to put the things on, yet ended up helping him into most of it anyway. Zannus admired himself in the changing room's mirror, puffing proudly. Rangas too was proud, and clapped the boy on the back.
"Let us celebrate! I'll buy you a meal over in Prontera before we head back to Alberta!" Rangas said, tousling his brothers light blond hair.
Little did they know they wouldn't be heading back to Alberta for a while..
