Vongola's kingdom was vast. On the surface the kingdom exceeded in trading seafood and technology. In the underground, the Vongola famiglia was notorious as the strongest famiglia. With four heirs who excelled in their respective fields the future looked bright for Vongola.
These assumptions masked a secret only known by the mafia. Sealed away at the ends of the Earth were monsters of ferocious strength that could end Tierre as they knew it. Four monsters and their master.
Soon enough the seals will weaken and with it, our story begins.
When Tsuna awoke that morning that last thing he expected was a message from his grandfather requesting his presence. In a quick flurry of movements he got ready and bolted out the door.
"Tsu-kun, what about breakfast?" His mother shouted, slightly amused by her son's childishness. No matter how old he gets there will always be aspects that never change.
"I'll eat when I get back, sorry mom!"
Tsuna quickly trotted towards his grandfather's mansion, in his hurry however, his stumbled up towards the door and crashing down he went, unto his nose. Sore but relatively fine, he slowly proceeded to his grandfather's study. Rubbing his nose, he opened the door. Behind this door however was a person who was considered a legend. A black knight of the underground. The strongest of them all.
Reborn was the best of the best and earned himself that title in the 27 short years of his life. Reborn was famed as a legend for his dangerous skills and equally dangerous looks to match. Reborn was undoubtedly the Vongola's strongest ally. It was for this reason that Tsuna couldn't comprehend as to how he ended up in the same room as him.
When a bullet began its journey towards his head, as swiftly and he could manage, he tossed his body towards the side. Shrieking as he threw himself out of the way he suddenly feared for his life.
"You're late." Reborn stated with an air of irritation.
"Reborn, please refrain from shooting my grandson so early in the morning. After all, you two will have plenty of time to bond during the mission I'm assigning you."
Tsuna couldn't help but gape at the older men. Surely he had heard that wrong? Tsuna was rarely ever assigned missions, let alone missions that required him to be paired with people. Even after years of training, he was still Dame-Tsuna. It didn't matter how much he mastered his magic, one couldn't always change themselves.
"When you both take a seat I will give you the details for your mission."
Reborn sent a glare towards Tsuna that sent shivers down his spine and had him pulling himself off the floor and onto the chair faster than Byakuran's dragon. Tsuna had a feeling that this mission would be a very long one. As Nono began explaining the details of the mission, Tsuna began to pale. He feared he'd become as white as the ghosts one would occasionally see wandering the streets.
"Tsuna, do you remember the stories I would tell you as a child? The one with the four monsters?"
Tsuna looked towards the older man with a look of confusion. What did that have to do with anything?
"The seals that keep those monsters secured to their prisons are weakening. Tsuna, you are the strongest mage who understands rune magic, I request you and Reborn travel to the locations were the runes are held and strengthen them. Reborn will serve as your guide and help fight along side you should you run into trouble."
Filled with ludicrous, he could not believe what he was hearing. Surely, he wasn't the only person who could re-script the runes? There had to have been a mistake! He was just dame-Tsuna for crying out loud!
"Stop staring, Dame-Tsuna" Reborn stated while whacking him with a strange green hammer. "If you don't do this it'll end Tierre as we know it, who knows how many lives will be lost."
That caught Tsuna's attention, images of his mother filled is head, he couldn't let anything happen to her. He couldn't allow anyone to hurt the people of the Vongola kingdom.
"Alright, grandfather, I'll do my best with my dying will" shakily he grabbed the folder filled with the mission contents. Nono smiled sadly at his grandson, wishing he didn't have to send someone so young on such a dangerous task.
"You depart tomorrow at dawn, you and Reborn shall meet up at dawn by the gates. Be safe during your travels, cub. Also, try not to be tardy."
Giving his grandfather a small smile he exited the room and made his way towards his home. Upon entering he called out to his mother. Explaining the situation as vaguely, he told his mother all that happened. He hugged her and went up to his room. Laying on his bed he began to fret, tomorrow, he would set out on a journey to seal monsters from myths. If only it were ever that easy.
