It was a normal day to start of with. I was standing on top of a cliff admiring the view. Vast fields of trees below me and distance mountains along the horizon. I watched the wind blow though the green leaves. I smirked as I felt the ground shake slightly. Something is going to happen. Something is coming. . .

"It's a perfect day for adventure." I said aloud looking up at the clear blue sky. "Great things are coming my way. . . I can just feel it!"

I withdraw my swords from my sides and held it up and the rumbles got louder. A loud roar echoed around as two large black horns slowly appeared in front of me. Following them was a huge red dragon's head with bright yellow eyes like slits. It opened its mouth and roared again showing its sharp yellow teeth and giant blue tongue.

"A dragon?!" I almost shouted. "What's a dragon doing around here?!"

The dragon moved back and I raised my swords ready to strike. "Here it comes" I thought "The dragon is about to attack! Time to test out my skills"

It lowered its head and I noticed something moving on its back between its large red wings. It was a short, red creature with two large ears, one of which had a large hole in it like something tried eating it.

"I bet all my gold it was the dragon" I thought watching it approach me. Like a human it walked on its back legs, however, unlike a human, it had a tail.

"Hiyas!" said the little creature smiling up at me with its black eyes. "The path is clear Priestess!"

I blinked and stood up as another figure appeared walking up the dragon's back and onto the cliff. This time it was a human. She had a long white robe with golden trimmings. Her large white hood stopped me from seeing her face but I noticed that she was carrying a large black box. Like her trimmings the box was also decorated with gold but on the front was a black dragon's head picture.

"Please pardon us friend." The woman said "We are just passing through"

The Priestess and her red follower walked pass and into the forest.

"What the. . . " I thought staring up at the dragon. I didn't like the hungry glint in its eyes but he turned and flew back. What sort of people travel on dragons?!

"Seriously, What was all that about?!" I yelled at it. It took no notice. "Damn thing" I muttered turning around and walking back towards the forest.

In front of me I saw the two figures again walking together. I smirked and decided to follow them. So as silently as I could I walked behind the two. The two suddenly stopped and I ran behind a tree trying to remain undetected.

"Oh my. Who put this carpet in the middle of the forest?" The woman said.

"Oh noes!" came the high pitch voice of the creature. "That is not a carpet Priestess!. It is a Gorillaphant!"

I covered my ears as the loud growl of the beast shook the trees. I muttered. "They're doom"

. . . Ok. . . So I didn't care that much.

"I WILL PROTECT YOU PRIESTESS!" yelled the creature.

"Yeah right" I thought. With a loud Pow the creature came flying backwards and landed in front of me. I raised my eyebrow and kicked the creature back without a second thought.

"OOOOF!" the Gorillaphant yelled as the creature landed on it.

"Great" I glared. "Now its pissed" I rushed forward to were the beast stood.

The Gorillaphant was stood in front of the Priestess. It held up its arms which was as thick as a tree stump just like its legs.

I held up my swords and charged at the beast. With two slashes from my swords I just managed to drew blood from its chest. Before I could do more damage the Gorillaphant threw me back with its razor sharp tusks. I growled and charged again only for the same thing to happen. I landed on my feet and looked at my swords. A fair amount of blood was shining on it. The beast's chest was now thick with the red substance that mixed with its grey fur.

"Once more" I thought charging at it again. However before I got close enough it raised its fist and brought it crashing down it front of me. Rocks and stones flew up and caught me in the face. I growled again and wiped the blood from my lip. I held my swords tighter and ran at it again. When I was close enough I threw one of my swords directly into the beast's heart. Well .. . If it had one.

With a deafening howl of pain the beast fell back. I drew out my sword from it and wiped it clean on the ground. Gorillaphants were no match against me.

"Thank you for saving me brave rogue!" The woman cried. "May I know the name of my hero?"

"But Priestess" The red creature said watching me from a tree stump. "You said her name was Saki and she is the one destined to. . . " it trailed off.

"What?" I asked. . . How the hell did they know my name?!

"Twilly!" she sighed. "Alas, we are out of time. Good rogue. I must ask an important favour of thee"

"Err. . . Sure?" Seriously. . . What the hell was happening?

"Would you please let Captain Rolith know that we're taking the shortcut? He's just ahead in Oaklore Keep.. . I am certain we will cross paths again" she turned and begun to walk.

"Especially since she is going to take that Black Dragon Box and . . ."

"Twilly!" she sighed again walking off with it.

"Well . . I doubt my day can get any stranger than this. I should go to the Keep ahead and deliver this message" I said to myself. Yeah. . . I talk to myself a lot I know. . . But hey! Its makes more sense then what just happened.

So I continued to walk through the forest. "This is why I became a rogue" I sighed. "No stupid orders and lame missions"

The castle soon came into view. Its white stones glinted in the sunlight and the towers held high in the ocean sky. At the front of the wooden gate were two knights. I raised my head proudly and walked pass them and into the grounds. Several knights were properly about. I frowned. "I just have to act like I'm a simple fighter and not a plain rogue"

I looked around and spotted the only person that wasn't wearing a helmet. I shrugged and took my chances. I walked over to the knight and smiled sweetly. "Would you be Captain Rolith?" I asked politely.

"I am" he said brushing his sandy blonde hair out of his green eyes. "Captain of the Knights of the Pactogonal Table here at the Keep"

"What's with the Keep?" I asked looking around.

He sighed "The Keeps stands here to protect all the subjects of good King Alteon. There are many threats to the Kingdom and its people so we do our best to keep these threats at bay. You look very able, Lend a hand to some of the knights here"

Great. . . More orders! I moaned and said. "I bring a message for you"

Captain Rolith glared and grumbled. "The knight's keep distracting me with an emergency every time, and you tell me about a message was it?"

I glared back. "So much for being nice" I thought watching him walk off. "Make note, never be nice again"

I felt a small trail of blood enter my mouth from a cut on my forehead. "Damn Gorillaphant" I muttered wiping the blood away. "AND DAMN YOU!" I yelled after the blonde and walked off.

Tomorrow I was going to get his attention. All I needed to do was to make my name something of an importance around here. I smirked and walked back into the forest. "I guess I will lend a hand then" I grinned.
