2 Well, you are staying here with us now.

"Beat it three more times with the same amount of strength, don't use excess strength than the last hit...." Ryu directed Shin as they reached completion of making a sword that was ordered a week ago.

Shin followed his orders perfectly.

"Let me take it from here, I will let it cool in water and put it away for further modification." Ken held the hot iron carefully with a thick glove and dipped it in water.

"I will take care of measuring and making the handle, why don't you go and take rest for a while, brother Shin.." Ken started calling him a brother after a week since he started working there, as he was older than him. It was not long after that, he started admiring his strength and focus in work.

"I will tend to Mr. Wakanabe's sword and later take a break, Ken." He waved at Ken.

A fact suddenly popped up in Ryu's mind.

"You don't have an ID, do you....?" Ryu looked at Shin and questioned, even though he already guessed what his answer would be.

"I used to move everywhere, so I never took an ID."

"Well you are staying here with us now, so go get yourself an ID at Areon's protectors office, we will take care of the remaining work..."

"Alright." He put down the hammer and made his way to his room. Ryu's family did not own a big house, but it was enough to accommodate another person.

He stated that he didn't have any problem with sleeping in the warehouse and it would be uncomfortable for the family with him staying in their house and suggested that he can sleep in the warehouse, to which the whole family denied in unison.

Shin quickly changed into a pair of clothes that Ken gave him a few days before, stating they were too big for him. He knew that Ken bought them for him, cause he didn't have anything to wear.

"I heard you were going for an ID, but be back before lunch time Shin" Lia shouted while she saw him leave.

"Got it....Ms. Takahashi.." he walked in a slow pace feeling the grace of an autumn wind, his hair flickered, being blown by the wind.

Even though he always wore a dark outfit, he still looked very mesmerizing with his black eyes and a golden yellow hair, which matched his strongly built body and skin-tone. But no one usually notices his stunning profile, as he always wore a dark hoodie and had a coffee candy in his mouth( DD Note: Its your everyday hoodie and a coffee flavored lollipop.) and laid low.

"Excuse me, I am here for an ID...." The women in the counter looked up to him "You can change your previous ID, if you proceed to your left."

"I am sorry, I don't have my previous ID, I traveled here after losing my home in Tristina." he decided it would be best to lie and tell a place name which was destroyed, rather than explaining why he never had one.

"In that case we need to form an ID, follow me." The woman led him to a room situated in the top floor of the office.

'Knock Knock'

"Sir, may I come in.." There was a middle aged man with a sturdy body standing near a window, looking towards the busy city. "Yes.. come in."

"Sir, we have a person who claims that his ID was destroyed, because of the Tristina incident and traveled here recently." she pointed at Shin.

"My name is Zeyner, I am the city's Chief Protector, please have a seat." he signaled him to sit.

He pointed his right palm towards Shin and sensed his unique life force and confirmed that he lacked an ID.

He started to rile up his energy and concentrated it in his right palm. "Ques es..!!!"

A circle surrounded Shin's wrist and indented his wrist with energy, forming the shape of a dagger.( DD Note: Its a Tattoo guys. )

" Any protector who senses your tattoo will identify you as a resident of Areon and your ID won't be destroyed as long as this city is standing and I alive." He reminded Shin.

ID was often used to identify where a person was from, by the protectors. Kids were often indented with ID as they turned 8 yrs. Indenting a human's skin who was more than 15 yrs old would be problematic, as they have a stronger energy resistance. Anyone older than 15 yrs had to get the ID from their chief protector, the only person in this small city with a strong life force.

'AAAHHH....!!!, Let me go' Screams from the city suddenly made its way into the room. 'Someone...Someone fetch a protector.'

"I am heading out..." Zeyner rushed out, followed by Shin only to witness a man, who seemed to have gone insane holding a knife close to the throat of a young girl.

"No one comes near me, if you do, she is history..."

"The world's coming to an end anyway, the seven Demon Kings are back, only three of the seven guardians remain, the protectors can't protect us anymore, why don't we enjoy ourselves....why follow the rules anymore men...." He declared and laughed hysterically, like a psychopath.
