I had to admit. FalconReach did look a lot nicer then Oaklore Keep. At less the Reach didn't have walls surrounding it like a prison. I could look around and see the forests in the distance and the mountains in the horizon. Finally, a place where I could feel at home.

I walked on wondering about that box. I didn't know what it had to do with me but. . . Theres something. . . That just keeps calling me to it. I didn't like it one bit.

"Hey Kid" I called over to a brown haired boy by the pub. A boy at a pub. . . Glad to see they're not so fussy about rules here!

He grinned as I approached. "Hiya!"

"Did you happen to see a freaky goblin looking thing around here with a black box a few days ago?"

He shook his head. "But!" He said happily. "I did see someone!"

"Who?"

"The Priestess, Lady Celestia, was here in FalconReach the other day. All that she could talk about was getting ready for 'The Hatching'."

The hatching? What did that had to do with the box?

"Thanks" I said ion a bored tone, "So who are you?"

"I'm Ash DragonBlade!" He said holding up his sword. "I've lived here in FalconReach for a long time, and I know almost everything that's going on here."

Great, a walking talking news box. My eye twitched. Make note, never use the word box again.

"Come to me if there is something that you want to know about the town. As for me, my life's dream has always been to become a knight!"

. . . Why could I feel a speech coming on?

"Even if I was old enough, I Am not of noble blood so I wouldn't even be considered…" He sighed frowning. "I mean . . Sir DragonBlade? That's not a pun. . Not even a bad one"

"Got that right kid" I muttered under my breath.

Ash looked up grinning again. "BUT! If I were able to save a princess or something, then King Alteon would HAVE to make me a knight. Right?"

"Get yourself a new dream" I said. "You got as much chance of becoming a knight as I have of becoming a famous Dragon Keeper"

Ash continued not listening to me. . . Man I hate that.

"Now all I need is to find a princess that needs saving! If you get any information on princesses in danger let me know!"

I glanced at his hopefully face and rolled my eyes. "Fine"

"Thank you!" He beamed. "This calls for a celebration!" He ran into the pub with a wave at someone from another shop. I looked over at who he was waving at. It was none other then the red dragon bitten creature.

It motioned me over with its stick from the tree stump. Too late to run now. .

I sighed as I knelt down it front of it so I was at eye level.

"Hiyas!" Twilly said cheerfully. "You want to look for the Black Dragon Box?"

I nodded. Of course I was! Its memory must be as short as he is.

"You should ask Robina the Hood, she knows everything about hunting Sneevils!"

Great, by the end of this major quest I'll be a sneevil expert.

"Alright, Where is she?" I asked.

"Follow the road east out of town and into Surewood Forest. There, you will find the infamous Robina Hood!"

"Gee Thanks" I said getting back to my feet.

It wasn't hard finding the Forest. Properly because of a giant sign that read Surewood Forest. Why need maps when you can use your eyes and head? Talking about eyes. Was that the same Sneevil with my box running off?!

I chased after it only to find it hanging from a rope.

The box was laying on the ground next to a female in green. She was leaning against several other boxes with a huge smirk on her face.

"This is too easy" I heard her say.

"My box!" The upside down Sneevil screamed in a high pitched voice. . . Wow. . The Sneevil looked no different from the other end. "Gimme back my box!"

"Sorry!" she laughed, "These boxes are now rightful property of Robina the Hood and her Band of Merry Women!"

HEY! THAT'S MY DAMN BOX THAT I'VE BEEN FIGHTING OVER!! I DIDN'T ALMOST GET KILLED SEVERAL TIMES FOR THIS TO HAPPEN!!

"Excuse, but I saw it first. That box is mine" I scowled.

"Oh?" Robina smiled. "This box is yours you say?"

"You can bet it is"

"No!" The sneevil screamed. "My precious. . . My preshuuuuuuuus!"

"Sneevils really do like their boxes" she laughed.

"Don't I know it" I muttered over the Sneevil's cries.

"Mine! It is mine! I stole it fair and square!"

"I'll make you a deal" she continued. "If you help me with my quests here in the forest, I will let you have the box. . . Agreed?"

I was so fighting the urge to agree with the Sneevil's cried of No!

"Fine" I grumbled. All this for a box? This better be bloody worth it. "What's the first quest?"

"A Golden Opportunity!" She said with a smile, "Time to steal from Rich. . . Specifically, Richard the Vile, one of the bandits who just robbed one of King Alteons caravans!"

A King with a caravan? . . . No comment.

"Doesn't he have enough gold through?" I asked.

"A reliable source informed me that the gold was to be a birthday gift for one of the King's three daughters"

"Right" I grumbled. Where can I find this thief?"

I soon found out as I walked off on my newest quest. Why could I just steal the damn box while she isn't looking?! . . . Wait, I am bad at stealing.. Im only good at fighting. Hee, that would be why.

One of the first people I ran into was a DarkWolf Robber. One of the followers of none other then the git Drakath. Yeah, I still haven't forgotten him.

I paused for a moment before I ran into battle with the robber. Maybe I could try another tactic for once. But what? . .

I only just dodged the huge spiked ball as the robber swung his weapon around. No time for thinking! Before I realised what I was doing I held up my hand and cried. "Hey, your shoelace is untied!"

And as if hit by a trance the robber froze. Ok. . I'm completely speechless on what just happened.

I got up and poked the robber with the end of my dagger. He fell to the ground as the electricity ran through him. Interesting.

I walked pass him and looked up at the large dead tree they were using as a bridge. If this thing breaks when im in it. .

Thankfully it didn't and thanks to the sudden new tactic, I reached the other side without a single cut!

More and more of the robbers fell under my spell. Wait. . .spell? But I don't know any magic! How the hell did that happen?

Without a single cut didn't say true, turns out I can only use the spell once in a battle. Which gave those 2 on 1 battles a pain. And that the spell didn't last. Some magic!

At less I got to the camp in one piece. It was hard to notice the gold since 3 robbers were protecting it.

"Look! it's the oldest trick in the book!" I cried to the nearest one. He froze giving me time to get rid of one. So my the time I reached the gold and dragged it back to Robina, I was covered in bruises.

"Now what?" I asked throwing it down at her feet.

"You did great!" Robina said cheerfully. "Now we're going to give it all away!"

She must be joking!

"Go knock out some forest creatures and put the gold on them!" She peered at my disbelieving face. "What, you didn't think I was serious?"

"You. . Need . . .Therapy" I said slowly.

"Where did you think all those monsters got gold from in the first place?!" she said.

Good answer, she puts gold on creatures, I kill creatures and get the gold. Not a bad deal.
