Days passed. Toro stayed also near the house from Laola now with Foloya. Foloya was pretty friendly if she wasn't annoying Toro. Smoer and David studied with Laola during the day. Sven, Neocro, Lari, Sam and MrBored trained with Foloya in the swamps of Celindir and in the forest. Toro stayed near them. They trained on Irens and Watangkas. Sometimes they attacked a moving tree. "It's not a tree." said Smoer. "It's a Antiquery." "What ever." said Sven. They sat like every evening around a campfire near Laola her house. Toro coughed. "Um kids, tomorow I'll leave you." "Why?" asked the others. They started to like the knight. It felt safe when you had a strong knight close to you. "I recived a message today, there are problems in Dekane Mines. I go take a look cause Souleater is to busy." "What are Dekane Mines?" asked Neocro. Smoer started to talk. "Dekane mines lie under a big part of Darkon 2. Keakoon workers are digging eron crystals there. They work almost every day and night. Great evil awakened there cause the Keakoons digged deeper and deeper. Sometimes heroes train on monsters in the mines cause they give great experience. Some young heroes who enter never return though." "Woaw!" said Lari. "Can I go with you Toro?" asked Lari. Toro answered fast. "No way." Lari looked sad. "Come on, please!" Toro shaked his head. "It's dangerous there." "Only the first and last part, Toro." said David. Toro looked angrly to David. "The monsters in the middle are good for training on." continued David, ignoring Toro. "If you go with him, I go too." Toro didn't answer. "If Toro doesn't mind, we can join him, right?" asked MrBored. "I want to leave here for a while. Everytime I look to the south I feel the pain of losing my brother. I want to do something that keeps my mind busy." Toro still didn't answer. "Sounds like a nice adventure." said Neocro. "It's not..." said Toro quiet. Lari jumped up. "So, is everyone agreed that we go with Toro to Dekane Mines?" "I'll follow you Lari, where ever you go." said Sam. Lari smiled with the idea of a new dangerous adventure. Toro sighted. "Ok, fine. Are you going too Foloya?" asked Toro. Foloya shaked her head. "It was fun training with you but I prefere to stay in the forest." Toro was relieved now he knew Foloya wouldn't join. He got up. "Then it's sleeptime for all who wants to come with me. But remember, you will stay in the middle of the Mines. Only I am going to the end." Lari shaked her head but all the others nodded.
The next morning started with bright sunlight. Smoer got up really early and was reading a book about Dekane mines in front of the house. David sat near her and enjoyed the first sunrays of the day. A bit later Toro came outside. "Morning." said Toro. David lifted his head to Toro but Smoer didn't react. She was to busy reading. "Good morning noble knight." said David. Toro tried to smile. "Are you sure you want to go with me?" David smiled. "Ofcourse we are. Besides, you can use a bit help, can't you?" Toro put himself down and ate some bread. "I don't need help, I'm strong enough." David shaked his head but said nothing. "So, what kind of problem is there in Dekane?" Toro lifted his shoulders. "It was a weird message, I don't really get it but Souleater is to busy. I want to solve the problem before Souleater gets troubles with it. He's busy enough and he can use some rest too." David stared to the bright sky. "Are you sure it's not a false message?" Toro was quiet for a bit but then he answered. "It can be, Hamba David, but it's time for me to leave this place anyway. I'm not made to take a rest. I have to help Madrigal." David looked shocked to Toro. Toro called him a Hamba. Smoer lifted her head. She looked to Toro. "Did you say the word Hamba?" Toro looked to David who looked really angry to him. "I said that Hambas are weird creatures, but really smart." Smoer looked to David who looked relieved and continued reading. "Don't talk about things where you don't know about, Toro." said David. Toro smiled and got up. "I'm not as smart as you, but I know enough." He walked into the house to wake the others.
A bit later everyone was sitting outside. Sven, Neocro and MrBored had big sleepy eyes cause they talked a big part of the night about Dekane. They were exited to go. Lari ran around while waving her big sword in the air. "When do we leave?" asked Lari every 5 minutes. Toro sighted. "Let me talk to Laola and then we'll leave." Lari jumped on the ground. "Don't talk to long, please!" Toro entered the house and saw Laola in the kitchen. Toro walked to her and wanted to say something. Laola was faster. "Stop worrying." Toro sighted and put himself down on a chair. "They survived Mars Mines and Ivillish. What do you want more? Don't forget you also got 2 really smart youngh heroes with you." Toro drummed with his fingers on table. "Dekane is harder as iviliss and Mars Mines together." "True." said Laola. She turned around and watched to Toro. "But they are stronger too, they trained really hard. Each of them gained more experience as you think they did." Toro watched asking. "They made fun, they didn't train. Most of time they were singing or laughing. It didn't look like they were training serious." Laola smiled. "They trained really hard, Toro, but they made fun at the same time. That's why it doesn't look that they trained hard. Trust me, they got great power. Go to Darken, before you leave to Dekane, and help them buying new armour." Toro nodded and got up from his chair. He wanted to leave the house but he wanted to ask one more thing. "Will... Will this help me to proove that I'm a true Hero?" Laola looked out of the window. "I'm sure of that, Toro. Everything what you do will help you to proove the Gods that you are worth it." Toro smiled relieved. Laola picked up the pot filled with a weird colour water and gave it to Toro. "Take this outside please."
Laola and Toro walked outside. Toro put the pot down and Laola took a big spoon. She filled some bottles with it. Then she gave 5 bottles to each of the ones who wanted to go to Dekane. Lari looked with a weird face to the bottles. "What's this?" "This is a collector, Larimar. If you are in danger and you are about to die then drink one and you'll feel back healty. Don't waste them!" warned Laola. Then she tipped David and Toro to her. "I want you two to help the others find good armour. David, you know what ones they need. Toro, help them find the armours and buy them." The two nodded.
After they all checked if they forgot nothing they were ready to go. Laola standed in front of the house. She wished them good luck and entered the house. Foloya said good-bye and jumped into a tree. Toro couldn't resist to smile when she disappeared. Then they all took a blinkwing to Darken. David and Toro tried to calm them all down cause Sven wanted to run to food story, Neocro to general, Smoer to Magic story, Lari to weapon store, Sam wanted to check her mail and MrBored wanted to go check his money on the bank. "We promised Laola to help you buy new sets." said Toro. "So please stay calm and let me see what armour each of you need." The words of Toro looked pretty useless cause now they all wanted to run to the armour store. Toro sighted. "Don't move and be quiet!" The 5 looked suprised. David laughed. "But you said we would buy new armour." said Sven. David smiled. "You always bought diffrent armour as we are going to buy now. You need sets. Those sets give extra effects so you'll be stronger as in a normal set." "And where do we find those sets?" asked Neocro. Toro and David pointed at the playershops. "Others find parts and sell them. Now let me first find out what ones you need." said David. Lari jumped in front of David. "Me first!" David nodded. "You need a Warspon for now. It makes you hit better and it gives more critical. Search parts of them in the shops." Lari nodded and ran away. David walked to Sam. "You need a flury set. It's a low level set but it's the best for a RM. You'll heal faster." Sam ran behind Lari. "You, Neocro, need a Hyperrset. It's a level 45 set." Neocro laughed. "Good joke David, I know I didn't say first that I was already 60 but I'm really higher as 45 now!" David shaked serious his head. "A hyperset gives alot extras that you can use, trust me and go look for one." Neocro used fastwalker and disappeared. Then David looked to Sven. "You can choose, or you buy a set for more health or one for more critical hits." "Critical hits, ofcourse." said Sven. "Then you need a level 30 set, Talin." Sven looked surprised but lifted his shoulders and walked away trough the crowd. MrBored standed nervous in front of David now. "What do I need?" "A Recornset." said David. "It's a level 60 set but it will give you a higher attack speed ànd health." MrBored smiled happy and disappeared. Then David walked to Smoer. "I need a Roshel set." said Smoer. "It will give me alot defence, some intelligence and it will make me get more out of my magic power. David smiled and took Smoer her hand. Together they went looking for Roshel parts.
An hour or two later everyone was sitting near the General store wearing their new equipment. Toro helped everyone to pay the new sets since the 5 young heroes weren't that rich. "You look like a poor mercanery again." laughed Lari after she saw MrBored his Recorn set. Bored lifted his shoulders. "With this set I could get you on the ground in 5 seconds." Lari and MrBored started a discussion about who was the strongest. Sam was happy with her Flury set. It looked like her old blue set she had. It felt better as a Ringmaster set and it made her give buffs faster. Neocro didn't wear a purple set anymore. She was back as white when Sam met Neocro for the first time. It brought back memories. David was telling more about equipment and sets to Smoer when Toro called their attention. "It's almost noon now, let's fly to the entrance of Dekane mines." "Where is the entrance of Dekane mines?" asked Neocro. "Near Elderguards and Garbapiders." answered Smoer and she stooth up. "Did everyone bought enough food and stuff?" Everyone nodded. Then they jumped on their board and flied into the sky. They flied above the caves where Carrierbombs, Greemongs and Sylicia were hid. Then the cave ended and they passed the Elderguards. When Toro saw the first Garbepider he landed. The others followed. Garbepiders ran around a valley. A bit more north there were Cranes. Sam, Lari and Neocro found Smoer there a long time ago. "So where to now?" asked Neocro when he saw that Toro was just looking around. "We need to go to that dwarve there." He pointed to a little guy who was digging a hole with a shovle. They walked slow to the dwarve. When they came closer they saw there was a mine entrance behind the guy. "Hi..." said Toro to the dwarve. The dwarve looked up to Toro. "Oh, hi there Toro. How can I help you?" "We'd like to enter the mines." said Toro. The dwarve looked to the 7 who were standing curious around Toro. "If I think 'we' is you and those little kids you got there with you, am I right then?" Toro nodded and turned with his eyes. "They wanted to come with me so... I'll help them entering and leave them alone with the Pink Roaches. I received a message that said there was something wrong in Dekane. Did you send it?" The dwarve shaked his head. "Nothing or no one passed here last weeks and as far as I know everything quiet there inside. Well... 'quiet'. Those Keakoons make alot of noise." The dwarve smiled. Toro looked to the entrance of the mines. "Hmm, weird. Anyway, do we get the permission to enter?" "You can enter when you want Toro, you know that but... are your little friends strong enough?" Lari heared for the second time 'little' now from the dwarve and started to get annoyed. "Look you dwarve, we survived Mars Mines and Ivilliss. Ofcourse we are strong enough we trained days near the house of Laola and gained alot experience." The dwarve looked surprised. "Don't talk like that to me young man or you'll never enter here." Lari trew her helmet on the ground. "I am a girl! If everyone is going to call me a boy then my helmet will break one day." David jumped to Lari, took the helmet off the ground and bowed for the dwarve. "My apologizes, my friends are pretty exiting to go. Please let us enter." The dwarve looked surprised. "You are here too, Infinty?" He took a key and walked to the mine entrance. "It's cause you are here, mister Infinty, and cause Toro is here to protect you and your friends." 'I don't need protection." said David while giving the helmet back to Lari. The dwarve looked up to David. "You stay a mistery, Infinty." The door opened. "Good luck."
