Sun bro's forever.

After dodging a fire-barrel on the staircase Reima continues into the tower, on the opposite of the entrance is the door that he remembers leads to Havel... A shame he lacks the master key, he climbs the tower and kills a glowing bug-thing? That drops a twinkling titanite, before standing in-front of the fog-gate that leads to the Taurus boss.

He prepares himself and enters and immediately blinks atop the tower where the archers are shooting from and killing both of them. He sees the Taurus demon jump onto the wall with it's giant axe readied, the creature looks like a mutated bull who decided to go bi-pedal after someone mashed its face up with a blender... It's hair looks thick enough to stop basic weapons but Reima doubts it's effectiveness against Arcell.

It comes running at the tower where Reima still stands and slams it's axe into the wall probably hoping he'll be shaken off. He decides to employ the same strategy he used against the Asylum demon and leaps off the tower while stabbing his sword into it's thick neck. It roars as it tries to shake him off but unlike the Asylum demon who's mobility is lacking this demon immediately tries to crush him with it's back. It slams backwards onto the wall crushing stone into dust as it lands, Reima had the presence of mind to jump off before hes turned into corned beef. It seems the demon still thinks hes on it's back and continues thrashing around on it's back, Reima jumps ontop of it and jams his sword into it's unprotected throat before jamming his hand into the wound while forming an Igni sign, like Bell against a Minotaur the Taurus demon roars as it's internal organs are cooked.

After a couple seconds of streaming fire into it's wounded neck it starts to dissipate into motes of light. Reima absorbs a large amount of souls.

After letting himself calm down and readily losing Adrenaline Reima continues through the towers until he reaches the bridge that certain Wyvern loves to cover in fire, before he attempts to avoid being barbecued he goes to visit a peculiar character...

Walking to the only place that seems to attract sunlight he spots a man wearing a white Tabard over his armour with a sun emblem on the front of it, his bucket helmet shines in the sunlight making it hard to look into his eyes.

Reima "Greetings, I am Reima Ludvig."

Solaire didn't seem to notice Reima due to him staring at the sun, "oh? Oh! A fine day to you fellow Undead! I am Solaire of Astora, have you come to seek your own sun in the birthplace of Lord Gwyn?"

Reima "I'm unsure what you mean by sun?"

Solaire "Why of course you do! The sun tells us the time, direction and even when to sleep... I seek a sun to light my path!"

Reima "So? A sense of purpose?" he questions not quite sure what Solaire means.

Solaire laughs "Hahaha! Ofcourse you would understand! If you lack that, the only future fate is going hollow."

Reima "Ah, I understand" He holds he arm out to shake Solaires, "Then I don't need to find my sun, as I already have a purpose. Ringing the bells is my first goal."

Solaire "Ah so we are of similar thoughts! Youknow, these lands are full of unfortunate souls who've gone hollow... Why don't we assist each other? It seems to be that our fates are intertwined!"

Reima shrugs, "Sure, as long as you're good with a sword, I don't mind you accompanying me."

Solaire "Hahahaha! Jolly good cooperation I say! Oh, before I forget, take this... We may be separated but with this we can help each other out." He hands Reima a white soapstone before preparing his sword and shield for travel.

They both leave together and Reima tells Solaire to run after the dragon unleashes it's first wave of fire. They run down the stairs to unlock the shortcut to the bonfire before resting at it. While they rest Solaire has some questions that seem to have been bothering him.

Solaire "I hope you don't take this the wrong way Sir Ludvig but are your eyes a result of the Chaos flames?"

Reima guessed he would be asked this and responds, "No, my eyes are a result of special training which increases combat abilities and reflexes above human levels."

Solaire "Ah, I must be lucky to have found such a worthy companion! Jolly indeed!"

After a short rest they climb back up the ladder and under the bridge which reveals a single hollow knight guarding some sort of sewage entrance, Solaire charges ahead while praising the sun and slams his shield into the hollow causing it to fall off the ledge and to it's death.

Solaire "Shall we continue? That Dragons tail is making me rather uncomfortable!"

Reima shakes his head, "There are many things you need to learn Solaire, sit back and watch." he says as he pulls out his bow and arrows. The end of the dragons tail seems calloused and with the lack of nerves it doesn't seem to feel the multiple arrows pelting it... After the 10th arrow the tail breaks off and Reima uses telekinesis to drag the severed appendage to them as the Dragon finally notices and breaths fire in all directions.

Solaire "I hate to be a spoiled sport but what as the purpose of such a task?"

Reima "This." As he carves off the still attached flesh to reveal a sharp bone that seems to have a handle? He pulls the Drake sword out of the flesh before taking dna samples and storing it in his Folded Space.

Reima "Just got myself a new sword! Hows it look?" He shows it off to Solaire who seems to be trying to reconnect to reality.

Solaire rubs the back of his helmet "I see, I really didn't expect such a thing... I'm sure feats such as this will be sung about for decades..." He mutters as he looks over the sword.

Solaire "It seems to be an impressive weapon... How such a thing grew inside the tail is a mystery that perhaps will never be solved." He says as Reima stores it inside his Folded Space.
