## Synopsis

### **Wimpy Villager 15: Trash The Dungeon Part II**

Runt and Breeze part ways from Pebble and S at Owl's Reach and go to Quill and Feather to get the Aeon Forge. Feeling tired from their trip, they decided to go to the Enchanted Dragon to get some rest. However, they found Ophelia getting fired and collapsing onto the street. They took her into their room for the night, and Runt left to get some milk for Ophelia. On the way back, he encountered Cogboggle stealing from members of the Solemn Blades, but Cog ran away before Runt could question him. Runt held fears that something may have happened at Villagetown while they were away, and these fears chased him into his dreams.
The next morning, Ophelia informed the pair that Brio had sent her to get an Aeon Forge. Brio emerged right after to explain the situation, and brought them to see the rest of Team Runt who had come with Brio. When Runt questioned why Brio and the Villagetown elders chose such an extreme mission, he revealed that they had recieved a letter from the capitol informing that the town was to send 15 of their "finest young men and women" to recieve instruction at the Greater Aetherian Academy, and that they had been sent to gain experience as well as obtain an Aeon Forge.

Breeze and Runt left the group to reflect upon what they had been told. Afterwards, Breeze asked if Runt would be willing to create a farm with her in the future. Before Runt could give a proper answer, they were interupted by a Knight of Aetheria. He introduced himself as Sir Elric Darkbane, whom Runt recognized from a poster he had as the best swordsman in the world. He informed them that he and a group of other members of the KoA would be escorting them to the capitol.

### **Wimpy Villager 16: Bound By Blood**

They go to sleep. After a couple of hours Runt wakes up, the other two are woken up by him as well, they go downstairs to meet their friends for breakfast, while getting milk in the night, Runt also sees Cog(Cogboggle.) and Cog joins them and returns the ring he stole. They later travel to the Inn of the Laughing Cow where Runt and Breeze are attacked by an Illusion Undead. They then go to Ravensong, Glimfrost, a moon elf village, Runt said though it was a village, that word was inappropriate, if not insulting, because of how amazing it was. They then raid a shop, Runt and Max get no armor, and Cog doesn't either, the girls equipped their new armor. A while later they are sitting near a river and Runt sees a blockbird, the others introduce Runt and Breeze to their new abilities, Brio comes bearing news that Villagetown has been attacked, they ride there and Runt immediately charges in, going on an insane killing spree, and eventually unlocked an ability that made his diamond sword deal 25 damage (instead of normal 7 damage). They fight the boss, the Underlord, an Irontusk this time, then comes Emerald's song, Let 'Em Know, after an intense fight, Breeze kills the Underlord but the arrow she used was the arrow she pulled out of her shoulder, she doesn't drink the milk Runt is telling her to drink so the wither effect will wear off. Breeze uses smoke bomb, but Runt finds her, in dusk elf form, they get attacked by a shade, Runt kills it by himself, and they return with the undead gone. Brio and Breeze reveal themselves at a meeting. It ends with Runt and Breeze holidng hands looking at the beacon Pebble and S lit, and the last words said by Breeze are, "And a Legendary one." Runt says that he'll move his diary writing to the next level, to archives!
