-Feeling amuse with all this thing, muting his mouth-
(This place is good, maybe a good training is important for now. So, i'll be prepared for the quests)
- went outside, with a gold glass of wine in my right hand -
*footsteps can be heard, scutttering around, and the quick pushing of buttons, and some mumbling, followed by a strange child-like figure entering a secret passage way, but the door closes before anyone is able to get to it*
-I hear the footsteps and go to their source, finding a wall and, upon inspection, a loose brick-
Sloppy.
-I remove the brick and find a keypad, obviously meant to be hidden-
Pass code, huh?
I heard five presses, meaning a four digit code, then enter.
-I start entering random codes, trying to break in. After several failed attempts, I get frustrated-
1111!

1112!
~incorrect~
1113!
~incorrect~
-Finish the battle and won-
-Something make me curious-
(Hmmm,, I heard something before,,) -I keep listening to the source. Like a Keypad being pressed-
(I saw a shadow, but i must stealth,, don't want that man notice me..)
1123!
~incorrect~
1124!
~incorrect~
1125!!!!!!
~incorrect~
Graaaaah!
-i punch the keypad, and then the door opens-
Ah.
Brute force works, huh?
-i walk through the door-
*mirentises mnumbles can be heard* my liege, are we really sending him with them? i mean come now, he is but a boy...
king: one with limitless potential, i might add
mirentis: but still, sire, could we not send a gaurd?!
king: NO, AND THAT IS FINAL!! MENNEY WILL BE GOING WITH THEM, AND HE WILL BE SUCCSESFUL IN HELPING RETURN THE ALTARS. *a small boy like this anime98.eoldal.hu/img/original/558/anime-boy.jpg comes out*
???: i am at the coming of age.... 12, that is the time to journey into the godesses cave to pray for a good and succsesful life, right?
Mirentis: yes... but he is too valuable to the kingdom, to us! what if he gets hurt... or dies?! he IS the only heir, after all, my king.... plese, just-
king: NO! menney, you are going, you are twelve, you need to learn this world, and do so well.
Menney: y-yes, sir.... *bowing* i will go to my room, and prepare my clothing, your highness.
King: your weapons and wares as well. train and study extremely hard tonight, my boy. *mirentis and menny walk in opposite directions, and mirentis catches oritigo by surprise from behind* how much did you hear?
-Walk through the door and see this man standing quite, listening to a conversation. I stood quietly behind him-
(Who's this man? I only can see a shadow, and what is he trying listening to?)
-I step backwards slowly,, but I step on a wrong place, a small rock fall down and make a noise-
-i smile-
I heard enough, magician.
Nothing to fear from me. I will guard the boy.
You are, after all, my clients.
But our guest may not be so trustworthy.
-i look straight at Nemera-
You gotta work on your stealth.
no, he is coming with you... he is in training as of now. he is a permanent member in your little team.
Menney: yeah... im an alright mage... i mainly just work with fire.... even then, i only make sparks....
mirentis: he is a very.... IMPORTANT... piece in this whole thing.. he does not know it yet, but believe me, he is like the corner pieces to a puzzle, the meat of a sandwich, the grass in the fields. without him, this would be all but worthless. so, remember, and i do nt mean to e so demanding as i seem, but; HIS LIFE COMES BEFORE YOURS.no offense but we could honestly find people like you anywhere... anyways, diner is in 6 hours. again, i do apologize for my demanding. ta ta for now. *teleports away*
Menney: so.... how have your days in the town been? or... have you even been here for a day?
it is not my child.... it is the kings stepson. his late wife's final wish was for his pourpose in life to become succesful.... she was the one queen our village enjoyed.
Menney: a kind and amazing human... please, for the sake of your safety and this kingdoms, help me.... you have made a pact with mirentis, so you agreed to abde by his rules. granted it was not mentioned, a deal is a deal.
Mirentis: yes... anyways, like i said, dinner in six. also, if it is not too much of a burden, would you mind getting to know the boy? other people are a rare sight for him. he was quite anxious to meet you two. anyways, i am off to do as it is i am supposed to at this point.... *slouches* entertain the king... honestly, instead of a magic show, the bafoon prefers for me to act as his little show monkey!
Hmmmm.
-my desire to protect my own life conflict with my obligation to uphold my contract.
I look at the boy, and a feeling stirs inside me. Something I hadn't felt since my younger brother died 10 years ago.
I felt a desire to protect this child, and be his brother-
Fine. I'll protect the boy.
