You're a tactician named Perry. You've been travelling across the map in hopes of learning and finding out more of the history of your country, Yuralia. It's been about two months since you've been travelling the country and you're running out of money. A local tavern offered to hire you for a temporary job which you accept. As a temporary server you serve beer to the patrons. Right now you were tripped by a patron and spilled beer all over a man.

"Hey watch it!" he yelled. "Don't you know how to treat your customers right!?"

You try to apologize to this person but he just won't listen.

"If you were truly sorry you would give me all of your money," he said, picking you up by the collar of your shirt. He snickered.

"Hey boss, maybe we should teach him a lesson?" Another man said.

You are now filled with absolute fear but you try not to show it. You try to reason with them even though they look like common street thugs. They don't listen, just as you predicted. They call you stupid, irritating and a waste of space then the one holding onto you raises his fist. You close your eyes out of reflex. Then you hear the popping sound of a fist hitting face, bones getting dislocated, but you feel nothing.

"Are you alright?"

When you open your eyes two things surprise you: one, you're not hurt and two, the man holding onto you was down on the ground. In front of you a person stood with their back facing you. At first you can't tell if it's a boy or girl but upon closer inspection it's a girl. In her right hand she holds a axe. She turns to face you.

"Hey, you okay?" she asks. "Come on, talk to me."

At first you feel starstruck. She's a dazzling beauty with a nice body and she was able to knock a man (or at least from what you saw in the situation you assume). You wonder how a woman can be so immensely powerful without having much of a sign of muscles? She's still glaring at you though so you feel pressured to answer her.

You tell her that you're a tactician named Perry and you explain to her your current situation. She nodded.

"So you're a traveling tactician huh? Cool. I'm La- Uh... Custard! Yeah I'm Custard! Nice ta meet 'cha Perry!"

She extends her hand and you graciously accept it. She pulls you up and smiles.

"Since you seem so defenseless while travelling mind if I accompany you?" she asks. "There's... somebody I need to find. And I know she ain't dead yet! But hell it's boring traveling alone and I don't know anybody in this town!"

She glares over at a bunch of men, one of them being the man who called the person on the ground 'boss'.

Why not? You tell her that you would be delighted to have her join you.

"Cool!" She walks to a nearby table and pulls up a seat. "Mind serving me a beer before we go?"

We... go? She must be implying that you two are to leave now. You tell her that you need to finish your shift then you'll go. Your shift ends in about thirty minutes so she says she'll wait for you. Because of this you find your boss and tell him that you're quitting today after your shift. He gives you your paycheck beforehand and a plate of beer. It's for Custard.

You go over to her table and set the beer down. She takes a swig of it with a smile. She pumps her fist in the air, a smile on her face.

"This is really good," she says, setting down the cup. "Too bad we're leaving."

You watch her drink with a smile. She seems really peaceful just drinking that, it makes you smile just the slightest bit. When she became done drinking she set down the cup with a bang on the table. Digging into her pocket she sets down the full price of the beer on the table.

That's when you heard a cry for help. You feel rattled from it and so does Custard. Unlike you however, Custard feels determine to help. She grabs you by your forearm and drags you outside. You hear your boss yelling at you from afar, telling you to stop. You're apologizing while you try to convince Custard to unhand you. When she doesn't you're left with one choice. You try to push her off...

Only to realize that she's too strong for you.

She pushes the door wide open and pulls you out. When she lets go of you you start to yell. How dare she do that? Yes there was somebody in need but there was no reason to drag you into it! Clearly you have no intention of fighting and even if you ever do you have no strength nor weaponry to assist you! You begin to start a long lecture on how she mustn't be so rash. She's not listening.

You try to get her to listen but she only tells you to be quiet. In respect to her you lower her voice but you ask her why. She points over to a group of people talking. You notice that one person in the group has a pegasus knight.

"Come on you look like a girl," one said. "You can't possibly be a knight of Altania."

"But it's true!" the young man holding onto the snout of the pegasus said. "Now if you'll excuse me I need to leave!"

The young man was pushed roughly against the wall by one of the men. Two men went to restrain him. You watch him start to scream and cry. You need to help him! You figure out a strategy to get them all away from him at once with the use of Custard. You turn to Custard only to realize she's gone.

"Get your hands off of him!" you hear her cry.

You look over to the direction of her voice. She had just finished beating a man down to the ground with her bare fist, causing the two sidekicks restraining the young man to run away. The man on the ground attempts to push her off but she gives him a punch hard enough to knock him out.

"Custard!" you yell, praying she would not kill the man.

You run over to her and the man. Looking at him you can tell that he's been knocked out cold. You check his pulse and breathed a sigh of relief when you find out he's still alive. Custard gives you a weird look but you smile in return. She seems to feel reassured... somehow.

The young man takes a step forward, his voice shaking.

"T-thank you for intervening," he says, hands on his chest. "I wish to apologize for inconveniencing you."

"Nah it's cool. We're glad we can help! Right Perry?"

You give Custard a weird look. You mean that you can help.

"So anyway, what's your name?" Custard asks. "I'm Custard by the way."

"What an odd name," he says. "I'm Caine, a pegasus knight in service to Altania. I'm currently looking for mercenaries willing to help my young prince."

The prince of Altania? He must be referring to Prince Andromeda, a user of magic against his father's wishes.

"Why would the prince require mercenaries?" Your thoughts were accidentally said.

Caine gives you a look.

"Well it's... He..." He looks down. "He wishes to be escorted to Litpol, the reasons behind that I cannot say. Not even I myself know."

You nod. Wouldn't there be tons of cavalries and such the king has at his disposal to accompany him?

"Well the more the merrier!" Custard says. "We'll gladly help your prince!"

Caine smiles.

"Thank you! My prince will be pleased!" Caine says. "Now follow me!"

Custard nods, looking at you and taking hold of your hand.

"Let's go Perry!"

You nod, a smile on your face. Wait... You didn't give your answer.
