you let out a breath you've been holding since you set foot in the main hall towards the wizard king's office.

'alright.. i can do this. just act as if nothing happened.' you thought.

you took in another deep breath and opened the door, coming in and closing it while looking down.

once you raise your head, there the two stood.

···

"..what?" you ask yvane to repeat what she had just said, you heard her clearly, yet you can't seem to settle with this information.

"the wizard king wants you in a mission with the captain.. it seems to be another important one." she says.

you groaned and dropped your head down again.

"when will it be?" you ask.

"he's asked to summon you tomorrow.."

"tomorrow?!" you sit up again in surprise.

"i'm sorry to bring such news right now but it seemed to be an urgent one, knowing it's you and the captain who he has assigned and rushed to be summoned right on the mission."

yvane looks down and you could only sigh once again.

"i don't have a choice then."

···

"i've heard you summoned me?"

julius gives you a smile yet you only looked at him in a straight face.

'if we're going to do this, do it quickly.' you thought.

the emperor was a little suspicious of this greeting and the comfortable atmosphere before you entered turned into a gloomy one.

"i have. assuming you're aware that this is a bit of a special mission, considering i've set the mission for the both of you.

a strange fast amount of knights i've sent to that particular village had been missing for two weeks, and i cannot turn a blind eye on.

the reports had mentioned unusual fog every after sunset and people who's outside of their homes disappear."

julius summaries the situation.

".. and the knights you've sent must've been caught in the fog aswell." you continue.

"i've figured so, i trust that you two will bring our comrades back."

you and your captain nods at this. after saluting, you exit the office and went on your way with you riding amihan's chariot and william deciding to use his broom.

the ride was quiet, no words exchanged and definitely no good atmosphere.

by the time the two of you reached the said village was on a afternoon, the village was lively and vendors with different stalls were lined up in the main circle.

"what a lively village." you mumble.

the two of you lands infront of a building far enough not to get the citizen's attention on you.
