Spinning the hammer in his hand, the blacksmith tossed it in the air. After a few seconds, he caught it without looking and proceeded to strike at the project he was working on. Sparks reflecting Yusukai's iron-will burst out from the contact of the hammer with the ore he was currently refining. Tools were used in the ancient process, but part of it was the purification caused with hard labor. Sweat glistened down his muscular body. Kuthai symbols all over his person seemed to glow with the synergy of labor. Yusukai had the blood of heroes flowing within his veins.
But for now, he was an apprentice of The Paladin's Order, and skilled tradesman. Yusukai struck the ore before him with his enhanced reflexes, his body tiring from physical labor. However, the youth did not care. So focused was he on the task at hand, that he had bothered to take a break. He knew that slacking off meant he would have to return to the sadists at the Paladin's Order. Enjoying his break, the youth wanted to get as much done as he could before he was summoned once again by The Paladin Order.
Once Yusukai was done with his physical labor, the youth decided it was time to return to the guild house of The Paladin Order. He thanked the mastersmith who was his employer and moved to "clock-out" of the workshop for the day. His afternoon though, was far from over. Working since the evening before, Yusukai rarely slept. Not because he disliked sleeping, but rather, because he was always busy these days. Yusukai had no way of knowing that there was a storm coming on the horizon.
A storm from the depths of the pyre that would shake the very system of belief that the youth held dear. As honest and kind-hearted as the youth was, Yusukai was still very much uneducated in the ways of the world. Yusukai finished his work for the day, collected his standard pay, and began to walk out of the shop. His destination? The youth was walking towards The Peaceful Promenade which was stationed nearby.
Walking towards the familiar structure, heroism, sacrifice, courage, were the last few interests in his heart. Yusukai was a hard worker, and physical labor was his domain. As he walked forward, something strange happened. A figure manifested, a cloaked figure with glowing red eyes appeared before the startled youth. When the figure manifested, Yusukai's mind cleared and presence entered his head.
"Do-not order Ale. Or any alcoholic beverage. You are still a servant of Omni. Remember, Kajeenith's forces are still at large and will always be at your back." The man spoke without speaking, he could hear the voice in the back of his head. "You will meet a certain individual on this day. A man you are fated to know. This man is meant to be your Apprentice. Train him well."
"Do not fear The Fate that is coming."
Then, the robed figure vanished...

Tapping his hand to his head, Yusukai wondered what the hell just happened. He shook his head for a moment attempting to orient himself after a dizzy feeling struck his gut. Before he knew it, a guard was standing in front of Yusukai. The fellow wore the standard Underwood worker's uniform. Yusukai blinked and then relaxed his posture.
"Oh sorry. I did not see you there." Yusukai said.
"How long have you been living here Mr. Hyakureiki?"
"A few moons now. Give or take. Why?" Yusukai responded.
"No need to act so formal. You are a good worker. Anyway, you seemed out of it for a moment so I wanted to make sure everything was okay."
"Y-yeah...everything is fine." Yusukai lied.
Mentioning a stranger with glowing red eyes was probably not a good idea. Yusukai looked at the man and prepared to continue to The Peaceful Promenade. He needed a drink after a long, hard day's work.
