The trek would have taken Armend around the base of the volcano to around to its side that faced the ocean, the village was nicely perched in and oasis that had fertile volcanic soil and easy access to the ocean's water via a stream that ran past the town. Once Armend entered the town he would have been greeted with a few looks, tho these looks were not hostile in any way. They were more amused seeing yet another traveller getting worn down by the trek to the town.

A spry little boy came running towards Armend then skidded to a halt in front of him. "You're here for the hunters job ain't ya!" The kid said with complete confidence. Armend was a new face in town, those were rare enough but the fact that he came alone was a dead giveaway of his intentions, even to the young boy. "Well don't just stand there! This way!" The kid then tried to lead Armend towards the hall.

Clara was so taken back by being in the presence of Cyrus she forced herself to give a fairly clumsy bow. Cyrus chuckled, "Take a seat kid I'll go get the chief and we'll discuss your initiation." Clara watched Cyrus walk off and then heard a knock on the door. She didn't move, then it was knocked on again and she sighed walking over to the door and opened it. She then looked down on the boy who was practically vibrating with joy. "New hunter come to town! He looks kinda grumpy! But that's not bad! Look here he comes!" The kid was rattling out words far to quickly but Clara was able to understand and shooed him off the looked at the new hunter. [i]He doesn't look that impressive.[/i] she thought to herself.
