Hound Removal.
I walk out of the gates of the old castle building. The doors are very ornate, and pretty. They depict all kinds of historical events. Even the fall of the city. Now based on the wording of the quest I don't actually need to kill the Hell Hounds. I just need to remove them. Catch and release is also an option. But I have a better idea. So I started off, as I walked down the steps toward the many graves that lay around the castle ripped my spear from the corpses of the Hell hound that was laying there Pulling y shield from my back I was ready for a fight. Ironically as I brandishes my shield I got a message notification.

Hey Angel, I don't know if this'll help you any but I just found a fallen angel artisan in the devil city I spawned in. He's a slave FYI. Just thought I'd let you know might be a secret quest or something. By the way the city's name is "Devils Valhalla"
----------------------------------
Hmmm... Good to know. I'll have to find a way to get there. Wait... I stop and look around suddenly feeling cold... The artisan is stronger than I thought Just knowing of his location was enough for him to see me in his mind eye. Wait... how do I know that.

Hmm... I see, This will come in handy thing is that Leather recipe needs skin... Of any animal. Certain types of animals give better chances for higher quality leather. Thing is I don't think there are any cattle in hell. Looks like I'm going to have to get creative. Well guess it's time to hunt then huh.
A couple hours later,
Looking over this valley I must say I'm curious how I'm going to kill any of them without drawing the attention of the others. Well... Let's try this, I pick up a rock and take aim. I aim for a Hound at the very edge of the pack. A few moments latert I throw the stone nailing the hound in the eye. Perfect shot. Damn!
A few hours before, I looked over at the corpse of the hell hound I'd killed earlier and smiled. Kneeling down I started the posses of turning it into leather. About 20 min later I had a saddle and some reins formed... Thy were not the best but they would work for what I wanted. Then I walked around the grave yard finding something interesting. A wood ax near one of the few standing buildings. With one of those things from the castle standing in a shake ear by doing something. Looking in I saw him drawing out a plan for a corral for something. Curios I asked it what it was doing. "What are you doing there," I jumped slightly turned around shivered and looked terrified, "Hey I raised my hands up... Still covered in blood...I'm not gonna hurt you okay?" It examined me looking for a lie in my words not finding one it scurried forward and grabbed me dragging me to the table where it wrote out that it needed 10 logs from a blood tree, Before showing me what a blood tree looked like.
----------------------------------
Help the little creature build whatever he's trying to build!
0/10 blood tree logs.
----------------------------------
I turned around and grabbed the Ax, "Alright little gut come on you show me the trees you want I'll cut them down and drag them here." The little creature nodded. While we were walking I spent my stat points

The little guy stopped in front of a tree and pointed at it. I stepped forward and began to swing my ax bringing the tree down after a couple of minutes. I had been wondering why it was called blood wood...If you touched it with bare skin it would cause lacerations. the little guy simple dealt with this by wearing gloves and tying a rope to it so we could haul it back. Two hours go by and the little guy summoned his friends and got to work I hauled the wood to where they asked me to and so a corral started to form. When it was complete the little creature ran up to me and said it's first words to me, "Hell hound." My eye's widened, "You want me to bring you a hell hound?" It nodded. I smiled and walked off, "I'll be back. A few minuets later I came running with a heard of them coming after me. All I heard was a yell, "Go to the leeway!" The leeway? Shit I think he means that tunnel like thing to allow for better control over the creatures. It's basically just a really big funnel. So that's what I did. I ran at an angle and as I ran I saw A bunch of the little guys opening a gate on the other side.
The hounds where on top of me I had to duck and dodge them all over the place but I made it to the gate and got out of the pen fast enough for the little guys to close it. After I looked at the first little guy and said, "Shit! can't believe I forgot to introduce my self. I'm Angel, who are you?" I put out my hand for a shake. He grabbed my and and pulled back his hood with the other, "Nice to meat you Angel, I'm Mazikeen, Maze for short." I smiled at her...Yes Her. "Well maze it's nice to meet you too, Why didn't you talk to me at first?" Maze smiled slightly, "Because I'm a pixie. I didn't understand if you where devil or angel but you didn't seem to wish to harm me so i put your trust to the test you passed." I looked at her and spread my wings. "Well you weren't wrong. I'm kinda both a devil and an angel. I'm a fallen." This caused some gasps.
Anyway me and maze got to talking and I explained my quest. From fixing the city, finding the other fallen, to removing the Hell hounds. She said that the elders of her clan actually took care of the ruined castle but they were not allowed to enter the castle under any circumstances. I smiled and said I'd talk to them and to Lucifer but first I wanted to now if I could ask for their help in timing the alpha of the hell hounds that was currently in the pen. She had agreed. After taming him I gained a few new skills. [Riding] and [taming] I used my rough leather saddle and reins to ride him to the castle and tied him to a nearby post from a ruined house before entering once more. I went to Lucifer's room and asked him why they where not allowed in he said the elders feared his wrath if they were to noisy I asked if they may enter so as to gain their help in rebuilding the city, He agreed. Upon summoning the elders and explaining the situation they rejoiced after all they served Lucifer because he was their king before the city fell and will be their king when the city rose once more.
This brings us back to the current situation where I am riding my Hell hound and being chased by another pack of hell hounds. This would be my third of the day meaning I'd have only one more. After they enter the coral they were trapped and tamed by the pixies. I went off to find the final pack... They found me instead. A large three headed hound tore my mount in half as I jumped away from the creature sensing death. luckily I had leveled up again and had more strength and dexterity

Shit! why did it have to be a mutated hound? and not only that but a fucking elite hound. I felt that cold gaze on me once more, "Oh? That thing is still alive? If you can tame it that would become a wonderful mount." I laughed, "Your insane old man." He laughed in my mind, "maybe but you never said it was a bad Idea." I smiled and ran to the left. We stood next to a cliff face. I was going to use it, "That's because it is a helluva idea!" I placed my foot on a rock leaping upwards flipping in midair to land astride the hell hounds back as it chased after me. Then I held on. It bucked and jumped and snapped at me. It really wanted me to get off but I never let go, eventually It slowed tiring and weakening. I jumped off as it knelt down before petting it's three heads. "You shall now be known as..."
