In the monster dimension with the eastern team, the team was geared up and ready to go but there was just one problem, they had a new member to bring aboard and she was greener than green thumbs on a farmer (in other words this was not going to end well.)

Jones: Everyone packed?

Mekuboto checked her gauntlets and she was good to go. The monkey from yesterday came to them to get a result.

Monkey: Good morning eastern team, have you made your decision?

Jones: We have and we think it would be best if she traveled with us.

Monkey: Good because here she comes.

The Monkey that was going with them came down, loaded up with supplies, had on a set of armor and had a spear but she was not happy. The human Paladin knew what that look was and so did everyone else. The paladin pointed at her and told her to come with him for a minute.

Monkey Girl: Dad?

Monkey: Go with him, now.

The Monkey Girl went to the side with the paladin and two of them were talking with each other.

Paladin: Ok, what's going on?

She still had the grumpy look on her face.

Paladin: You don't like the idea of you going with a team for your first adventure.

Monkey Girl: My dad said I would be able to go on my first adventure but said I had to go with you all; I wanted to get my first adventure on my own.

Paladin: Hey, some things are not by our choice, we sometimes have to roll with the punches we are dealt with. If we didn't go as a team we would all be dead at the start.

Monkey Girl: What?

Paladin: We got caught in a storm that would have killed us but Elysium, our mage rescued us and now he has Mekuboto after freeing her from the ice.

Monkey Girl: The white-haired one?

Paladin: Yup, so we all help each other to keep other alive and sometimes fate or a teammate returns the favor.

Monkey Girl: I still don't know about this, I mean it's my first time.

Paladin: So, it's our first time too.

Monkey Girl: Really?

The Paladin puts his shield on his back and was leaning on his mace.

Paladin: You really think we were experienced at this?

The Monkey girl looks over his shoulder.

Monkey Girl: From the look of what you all are packing I thought so.

Paladin: Looks can be deceiving, so are you going to join the team?

The Monkey Girl thinks on it.

Paladin: I understand if you don't.

The Paladin walks away but the monkey girl grabs his hand using her tail.

Monkey Girl: I'll go with you.

Paladin: Ash.

Monkey Girl: Avi.

Ash: Now come on, we got some distance to put behind us.

Ash picked up his shield and went back with the team.

Jones: You ready?

Avi: Yes.

Monkey: Now be a good daughter and follow their instructions, we also have translated the diary for you to understand what she was going through, we also managed to put their names back.
