“I'm sorry for having you two spend money on me. Just know I'm eternally grateful. I'm starting to feel like myself. I'm not sure how I'll ever repay you.” Drippy said with a large smile.
“I know a way for you to repay us. You're going to repay us with your body!” Yadi said excitedly. “While I was getting food I saw a post for a quest.” Yadi pulled out a piece of paper. “It says that a popular route for knights has become unusable due to a feud between the nagas and the orcs.”
“What's a quest?”
"Something the knights think they are too good to do. So they leave it up to people like us to take care of. It will be a lot of work but the money is good. Which means more armor and science stuff for Luna. You can spend your share on what you want so long as you help out.” Yadi said.
“Why are they fighting? Aren’t they both monsters?” Drippy asked
“Yes they are but they both have their own factions. The Nagas were ruled by a strong king and the Orcs were ruled by a powerful Queen. Both disappeared about 20 years ago. Both sides blame the other for their missing Royal. Before it was just night raids but now they are fighting in the day.” Luna explained.
“So we need them to stop fighting. How exactly can we do that?” Drippy asked.
“I say we do it nice and simple, we take down both sides!” Yadi said with a sinister grin.
“While that may work for the orcs since they are strength focused, they may bend the knee if they think you are strong enough. The Nagas are a different story. The Nagas select their leader based on who is the most clever. So Yadi you deal with the Orcs and I will deal with the Nagas. Drippy, who would you like to go with?” Luna asked
Drippy though for a moment. “Luna I’m sorry I don’t think I’m as smart as you but I could be strong like Yadi.”
“Attagirl Drippy! No shame in being strong. I’ll be honest, I don't think many people are as smart as our Luna here.” Yadi said and threw a friendly arm over Drippy.
Luna blushed. “Drippy, do you have any combat experience?”
“I used to wrestle my brothers when I was little.” Drippy said. Both Yadi and Luna looked confused.
“You mean when you were a frog?” Luna asked
“Yeah we used to wrestle all the time. They were jerks.” Drippy said, pouting.
“Okay.” Yadi and Luna said in unison. Luna shot Yadi a look letting her know if anything happened to Drippy there would be hell to pay.
“So we'll go our separate ways and we will reconvene at a later time.”
