#1 The Boy Who Mines Coal.

In the azera mountains, humans and dwarves are mining minerals. It was a rush and busy day for them, loud clanking sounds of pickaxe's. finn eridoe a boy, was mining coal and minerals in the mines. But they just mine coals usually, he started off in a young age, 12 or below. Now that he's 15, he has the right strength to life heavy equipments for his old father. He keeps talking about the adventurers who are passing by. He was curious and interested. While done mining, Finn takes his mask off his face and said-

"Papa, those adventurers who were passing by, do they...get money?".

The father smiles and said-

"Yes, a big amount but dangerous progresses occurs, but money isn't important in adventures, it's the journey that counts."

The azera mountains was full of poverty and child labor. It's caused by the corrupt traders taking advantage of the the people and dwarves weren't safe from them. the payback of the coal was unfair, they only get 50 gold. Finns father was being shouted by a corrupt trader yet again, the father angered him because of questioning the price. Finn runs towards them and apologizes to him. The dwarves and the humans cheers Finns father and share him a bit of gold. The dwarves were considered selfish and arrogant but in azera mountains, theres no time for being selfish because of the poverty. 

Finn and his father had no home, they just sleep on their tent with a bonfire near it. They bought some potatos and made stew, even with a poor life, finn is happy and energetic. His father finishes the stew and they begin eating. Finns father eats small and gives everything Finn so he has strength tomorrow. Finn drifted off to sleep while his father prepares the equipment for mining. When the rises, they climb up the mountain going to the mines. it was same as usual, busy and rush, Finn prepares his mask, a sack made from leather and pickaxe. His father is left behind and waits for fun to come out with coals. 

Once Finn was done, he comes out from the dusty tunnel with a sack full of coals. Finnshows the broken pickaxe to his father, so he replaced it with a new one. While they were unpacking some coals, Finns father was ashamed from making Finn do the hard work.

"It's fine, papa, you just sit there and wait, besides, you're sick, I don't want you doing hard labor."

Finn stands and gets back to the tunnel. After many hours of work, reports was spread to the corrupt owner of the mountain. The depths of the cave has goblins, but full of rich mineral. This made the owner's eyebrows raised and immediately sents some miners exchange of gold. The miners didn't hesitate and goes deeper from the cave. The old dwarf said that it's dangerous down there. The dwarf killed a few goblins deep down but their numbers were overwhelming. Finn was glued by their conversation and listens closely and all the people listens as the two argued. The owner whips the dwarf repeatingly. 

Finn interferes and shouted at the owner-

"He's an old man!!!, stop this!, I will handle him."

The dwarf calms and thanks Finn, but the owner was arrogant and filled with pride. The onwner whips Finn instead. The dwarves and humans were angered and the men clinches their fists. The guards threatens them, an 30 year old man smacks the owner on the head killing him. The miners ravages the guards killing them. The old dwarf said to Finn that he will go down to stop the miners who were paid by gold. The old dwarf rushes down the mine while holding a lantern. Finn was hugged by his father and checked the wounds. 

The people in the azera mountains took control and clears the guards around. When it was night, Finn and the miners holds a weapon waiting for the old dwarf and the others. The old dwarf brought back only one because the others were eaten and killed. The dwarf was disappointed that he couldn't save all of them. A goblin jumps at them an stabbed the old dwarfs legs making him scream and groan. Finn stabs the goblin on the face killing it. They dragged the old dwarf to the medical tent. 

In the next day, the new owner sets up a meeting with the miner who is in charge of his fellow miners. The new owner said it will be sure if they bomb the tunnel and close it, but the miner will lose their jobs. One solution was they will call adventurers instead. So they set up some flyers showing needing of help exchange of gold. It will take days before the adventurers gets here. So they barricaded the mines and guarded it. Finn finds a book about a story of an adventurer. Finn was tempt but he fights back telling himself that it's stealing. The new owner spoke behind him and tell him to take it because it's a children's book. Finn didn't hesitate and takes it with him. 

While reading in the tent while his father was cooking. Finn was inspired by the hero from the story. He wishes that one day he can be like a hero someday. Meanwhile from the north, a guild took the flyers. They didn't care how much they will get paid, they cared about helping the azera mountain civilians. They set off with their flying ship with medium pace. The five adventurers gets ready for their quest from azera. On azera mountains, some miners plants vegetables and wheat while waiting for the The to be safe again. It solved their hunger, the owner was proud at his people while he continues to do some papers to give rights to this land. 

Finn was walking around the mountains with his friends. They saw a dead goblin flowing on the river. It's blood mixing with the water, a large ship covers the sky darkening beneath them. Finn looks up amazed by the sight, a blonde teenager with golden eyes jump off and landed intimidating. He asked Finn if their on azera mountains with his energetic tone. Finn was starstruck talking to a adventurer, Finn regains composure and stands straight. 

"YES, SIR!, THIS IS AZERA MOUNTAINS!"

Three more jumps off, a rogue, a marksman, a tank. While the mage lands the ship safe in place. The five heads to the cave without hesitation. This caught the civilians attention and the owner tells them the problem. They go down cautiously while the mage is light magic. The female rogue was complaining about the mission because this was just a simple mission for beginners. The blonde boy said-

"It's not about that, it's our duty, to help, to do some quest's."

The female rogue was only the same age as Finn, she came from a rich family with high expectations. She runs away from her home and meets the blonde teenager and accepts him warmly. While the five were getting deeper in the cave, the blonde takes out a small sword to swing properly in the small holes. They heard a growl and the mage fires a fireball straight lighting up. The light reveals a wide layer of goblins, the light took their attention. The blonde and the rogue also the tank jumps off on a cliff cave slaughtering every goblin that was moving. meanwhile outside the cave, the old dwarf notices Finn was gone. Finn was going down following the adventurers. Finn memorizes the place going left to right for short cut. Then Finns mistake is the mine shaft was still under constructed. He trips over and slides down on a smooth textured rock making him hard to grasp. He ends up where the the adventurers and goblins were having a battle. The female rogue was unaware from the goblin that was about to shoot an arrow behind her. Finn then hits the goblin with a shovel killing it, but the arrow flew before it was stopped, hitting her in the leg. 

The blonde shout at the mage to cast a destructive spell-

"Arious!!!, now!, cast splash magic!!!."

But they didn't knew that the female rogue was injured. They retreat back not realizing they left one. The blonde's heart throbs feeling that theirs something wrong. The tank pulls the blonde to escape the explosion. The magic spell explodes killing it's path. The blonde was guilty and angered for what's he have done. They moved on after mourning her death leaving the cave unharmed.
