Early day at the grand chase castle. A gong can be heard all through out the castle. The knights of the castle are preparing the grand hall for a meeting. A large round table has been set up with twelve chairs going all the way around it. As the sound of the gong dies out it is replaced by the loud stomping of a team of horses pulling on a grand carriage down the path towards the castle.
As the carriage arrives all eleven knight stand firmly in a line waiting for the passenger to exit.
The driver of the carriage steps down from his seat and walks over to the carriage door. Opening the door a woman in bright red armor will long golden hair and flaming red eyes steps out.
"Hello Knight Master!" all eleven knight shout as their leader walks over to them.
"Hello Knight." she replies "You may relax this meeting shall be very brief so please lets us not waste time into the grand hall with all of you."
The knights break their formation and reenter the castle heading towards the just set round table the Knight Master following closely behind them.
After all eleven knights take their seats the knight master takes the last available chair and began the meeting
"Ok knights we have been asked if three or four of you knight can help guard a small caravan on its way to the Serdin Castle. The cargo of the caravan is holding are so very rare old spell books found at a an old temple. We highly doubt that they will actually need much protection with the cargo only being books but they are Kingdom of Magic so I can see why they want to protect such rare magical text. They are asking for three or four knights and this will span over a three day period and begins tonight. It's a easy mission and pays well so I can imagine you are all interested so I shall allow yourselves to debate who is going to accept this mission. Now excuse me knight I'll be waiting in town for you answer as to who will be going."
The room stayed silent as they watched their leader exit through the front door.
"I'm going on this mission!" Arme cried out as the door shut behind the Knight Master.
Arme always being interested in magical text couldn't bare missing a chance to read some ancient magical text.
"Um well that one spot taken anyone else?" Ronan asked.
"The mission sounds boring I don't do boring." scoffed Elesis as she jumped up from her seat and began to exit
"Lass and Jin why don't you go?" asked Lire "You two were stuck home yesterday after all."
"I'd rather not. I kinda agree with Elesis I'm not to into doing an uneventful mission" stated Jin.
"Um ok what about you Lass?" Lire now questioning the thief
"Why not I could use some time away from the castle." the thief replied.
"I'm also going!"
Dio's voice cracked as he shouted.
The group was stunned if there was anyone they expected to say no to this mission it was Dio.
"Um ok then that's three." Ronan nervously laughed to himself.
Dio ignored the shocked he place on the others and exited the room.
"Ok then Ryan? Amy? Interested?" the spell knight asked
They two took a moment to think
"Nah I'd rather not take this one." said Ryan
"I'll go!" answered the dancer overly excited as usual
"Ok then we have Arme, Lass, Dio and Amy." Ronan stated as he checked off the list he was writing down and after finishing turning his attention to Sieghart.
"Sieg you didn't want to try to join?"
"Huh? Oh sorry. What was the question?" Sieghart replied.
He had stop paying attention after Knight Master had left and was lost in thought till Ronan freed him from his thinking
"Do you want to tag along on this mission?" Ronan said a little annoyed with Sieghart daydreaming.
"Not really my thing just leave it to Lassy and the demon ciao." the gladiator said as he stood up and left from his seat
"Mari what about you?" Ronan now turning his attention to the rune caster.
She simply shook her head in disapproval and exited as well.
"Well ok then everyone we have our mission roster."
Ronan then proceeded to pull out a card from his pocket.
"Abingdon!" he called
The card released a seal and a small griffon with back and gold feathers appeared out of it.
"Here Abingdon take this message to Knight Master in town."
The black griffon howled as he took the letter in his claw and flew out one of the windows to the town.
"Ok begin to make preparation guys."
The three participation in the quests nodded and everyone exited from the hall.
Lass went directly to his room to prepare.
Going through his closet of armors he decided to pick out his striker armor to wear. Finishing with his armor he then proceeded to pick out a weapon from the shelves he stored them. After fumbling trough them for a while he decided on the matching nadochi to his armor set. He next began to gather a small handful of pots they he gathered into a small bag which could be tied to his armor.
"Armor, Weapon, Potions. What am I forgetting?" Lass thought to himself.
He stood pondering to himself for a while till he realized what was missing. He walked over to his bedside before reaching for a small box. Opening this box a small card very similar to the one Ronan was holding earlier was inside.
Lass took the card in hand and held it above him.
"Kumi!" he cried out
Again like before a small seal emerged from the card but this a small human like creature appeared.
It was a female fox demon wearing a purple kimono with purple hair tied up and glowing crimson eyes.
"You called master?" she asked as she began to stretch
"I'm going on a three day mission. I was thinking maybe you liked to join me this time." the said going back to organizing his equipment
"If master wishes it I shall go." she replied as she began to hover around the thief's room
Lass just petted the small foxes head fumbled around his room to past the time.
A few hours passed and the sun had begun to set.
The knights participating in the quest had assembled in front of the castle waiting for a sign of the caravan.
Amy was hopping around playing her violin. She had decided to go in her muse attire and with pet Claudia at her side. Arme was pacing in anticipation. She was dressed in her battle mage set along with her battle staff. Around her the black winged angle pet Lillith was flying happy in circle above her master. Dio decked out in his drakar set was leaning against the castle doors. The black dragon Sellion at his side.
"Ok when are these people getting here I'm tired of waiting" mumbled the annoyed demon
"Be patient. They said the mission begins at night anyways it still noon." replied Lass sitting up in a nearby tree
"Even so they said we would meet the client at noon. So where is he huh?" an even more frustrated Dio blurted out
"We still have plenty of time if you'd like you can just quit the mission I'm sure we'll be fine without you."
"Keep talking child I'll make you regret your words."
"Try me!" Lass roared.
"That's it. Sellion!" Dio barked out. "Shut this insolent child's mouth!"
His pet took flight heading directly for Lass. He halted feet away from letting out a dark blast of energy at the thief.
The blast made a contact causing a dark tornado to engulf were the thief was sitting.
After the tornado died down though Lass was no where to be seen.
Dio searched around for Lass with no luck.
"Kumi! Do it!"
A voiced cried out from above Dio. Lass had jumped up to a ledge higher up on the castle
By the time Dio had he sight fixed on him it was already to late. Lass' pet Kumi had already begun her attack.
She spun wildly releasing violet dust which covered the demon. This dust put a momentary haste spell on Dio making him unable to move
As Kumi began to finish her spin a small violet tornado was created and shot towards the demon
"Don't you dare threaten my master!" Kumi howled as she watched her attack close in on the demon
Dio attempted to put up his arms knowing he had no chance to evade.
Just as the tornado was a mere foot away Dio was grabbed out of the way by Arme.
"Ok that's enough you two! This wait is annoying enough without your constant bickering!" the mage shouted paralyzing both Lass and Dio with surprise.
"Anymore fighting and I'll Deep Impact both of you!"
Arme went back to pacing back and forth and Amy could be seen giggling excessively
Dio just scoffed and returned to leaning against the castle while Lass jumped back down into the tree he was sitting in before.
About a half hour later a figure could be seen walking the path towards the castle.
"I think they are here." Lass called out from the tree.
The other three then began to pear down the path also seeing the person walking towards them. As this person arrived it was seen to be a old man dress a royal robe of a court mage.
"Excuse me would you four happen to be the knights we have hired." the man asked
"Yes sir." Arme replied as the four knights crowded together.
"Perfect. I'm sorry but we will have to skip introductions for now please follow me the caravan is waiting on the outskirts of the village.
The four nodded and followed the man down the path towards the town.
"Dio!" a voiced echoed from behind them halfway down the path
The four looked back to see Sieghart running towards them
"What is it Sieghart?" Dio replied
Sieghart said nothing but handed him a small box. The three other knight and the old mage looked in confusion while Dio just nodded after receiving the package.
"What was that all about?" questioned Lass
"Nothing. Now keep walking." Dio ordered
The group returned to walking down the twilit path towards the village. At the end of this path their quest would commence.

Im proud to say I finally decided to use pets in my story I was kinda wavering back and forth between wanting and not wanting too but I decided on trying it out
Btw I love kumi it was the first cash pet I got and im just in love with it so it would be obvious I would pair my favorite pet and character together ^^ though maybe I made her personality too obedient maybe I should have made her a little more sarcastic hmm idk
