Adrian easily stacked the 44 pieces of firewood into a respectable stack. He used twenty four pieces of the firewood pieces for a square stack while the remaining ones were used for the cone interior stack. Adrian emitted a cry of satisfaction when he properly stacked the firewood.
"I am finally done. Did I do a good job?" Adrian asked the vige chief.
"Yes! You did a very good job. I bet the other vigers agree as well." The Timber vige chief enthusiastically replied.
The vigers have finally opened up to Adrian even if it was just a little. At the very least, the vigers are no longer scared when Adrian meets their gaze. Some of the children in the vige even became curious about his soulbounds but Sirius told Adrian something that bothered him a little.

"Master, the air in this ce feel different." Sirius stated.
"I have to agree with big brother, Master." Kaon added but to the vigers could only hear barks and ticks.
Adrian also thought of this because the air of the vige is different. He thought that it was all in his head because it has been a long time since he entered a normal vige. Still, Adrian did think that this vige is a bit odd and it remained in the back of his mind.
"I now give you the final quest. It will not be challenging but it is rather tricky." The Timber Vige Chief stated.
"It is fine. I can handle the task." Adrian replied.

"Let us go, young man. We need to hurry up before it gets dark as our ceremony must be held during the night." The Timber Vige Chief stated as she walked west of the vige.
Adrian easily followed her and is quite shocked because she was faster than she looked. The Timber Vige Chief also had a great deal of dignity with each of her stride. Adrian''s walking speed was already quick because he was above level 100 but the Vige Chief which was not greatly over-leveled is keeping pace with him.
Adrian is guided to a quaint looking cave that is only about a twenty feet deep and ten feet wide. The shrine inside the cave was not creepy and it was rather simple. There is a fire inside of the cave that is the size of two feet.The shrine is also adorned with some used up hunting gears, monster pelt and horns.
"This is the shrine of our god but s no one even remembers him. Not even we remember his glory which might be the reason why we are still restless." The Timber Vige Chief stated as she looked at the small me burning inside the cave,
"I see. No wonder I can feel that the feel of the vige is different. All of you are already dead. Your souls have yet to ascend to the death realm." Adrian stated as he activated his Shephard of Lost Souls title and saw the real form of the Timber Vige Chief.
Adrian immediately saw the ghostly form of the Timber Vige Chief and is not shocked. He then took out a firewood in his inventory and lit it up using the bonfire. Adrian did not ask the Timber Vige Chief on what to do because he knows that she would not be able to do it.
"Let us go. The sun has already set. The other vigers are waiting for us and I must fulfill my duty as the Shephard of Lost Souls." Adrian stated as he cancelled the effect of his mour skill.
The Timber Vige Chief was surprised but it was the pleasant kind because she could feel something soothinging out of Adrian. The aura surrounding Adrian made her feel calm which was very weing for her as she is considered a restless spirits.
"While we go back to the vige, can you tell me how your whole vige ended up like this?" Adrian asked as he knew that a whole vige getting wiped out without showing breakages is unreal.
"You might have seen us outside but our vige suffered from a sickness that killed us all in our sleep. Our bodies has already became ash as it has already been two hundred years since that terrible incident." The Timber Vige Chief stated.
"I am terribly sorry but now that I am here. All of you will certainly be led to the gates of limbo." Adrian replied as they finally reached the vige.
The vigers who saw Adrian''s real form did not get scared but rather became enthralled by him. Adrian did not bother with the gaze and immediately lit up the bonfire that brightened up the dark vige. The vigers then formed a circle and started singing in anguage that Adrian does not know.
The howl of wolves then sounded in the distance as if they are sending away spirits. Even Sirius joined the howl of the wolves and Adrian noticed that the fire was getting too bright and big. The bonfire then showed the figure of a man wearing the fur of a bear with deer horns.
Strangely enough, Adrian did not feel threatened but rather the fire silhouette looked rather thankful towards the former. The Timber vigers started crying upon the sight of their forgotten deity. Afterwards, Adrian saw the vigers disappearing one by one with a big smile on their face.
"It seems that this is goodbye. We can finally see the light as our guardian deity is guiding us towards the other side. I am thankful to you, young man. May luck always be with you." The Timber Vige Chief stated with a smile as her ghostly figure finally disappeared.

Adrian wanted to know where the axe was as he checked the vige chief''s house as it was not there. He then noticed that something is gleaming on the location where the bonfire has been. Adrian then found that there are two items sitting on the ashes.
"No way!" Adrian shouted.
