Ardere stood at the Train Station, he was waiting for his partner to arrive. Apparently he had been assigned a new team within the Rune Knights, and he was aware of who some of the people were. The only information he had been given was the man's name was Rayden, he was unsure if he had seem him around or not though. He did remember Hikaru, but unfortunately he was not on this particular mission. Tapping his foot slightly, the fire mage hoped that he wuld make a good first impression, for he was sure the two would be going on missions with each other multiple times from now on. Being assigned to his team was not something he preferred, but at least not everyone was a stranger to him. Ceasing to tap his foot, the red haired man would begin to take off the wrapped that concealed his sword. Revealing the red and orange sword named Clarent, he would slide it in a strap across his back. He found the sword quite useful for conserving magic on missions.
Their objective here was to clear a blockade, a tree that was blocking the train tracks. Apparently some goblins and vulcans had teamed up, and they wanted a bunch of pies. The whole situation sounded strange to Ardere, but it wasn't the strangest thing he had heard this week. Running a pale finger through his red hair, he would check his watch to notice that he was just a couple of minutes early. He was the type to prefer to arrive early, just in case. Opening a spare book he had on him, the fire mage would begin to read a bit of a passage. It was a book about the different kinds of wildlife in Fiore, which he found to be an appropriate read considering the current circumstances.
