Gon
Gon stood in the receivable room. A large room made of white stone. Red and gold banners of the kingdom of Estria. A red field with three central gold stars and a gold band to the right and left. Serval pillars stood on either side supporting the room aloft, carved with various animals throughout the kingdom. Several knights, lords, and other important figures were within the room. A large burgundy and gold rug ran up three steps ending at Queen Mito's feet. Her short orange hair, decorated with golden clips. Her large skirts of blue cascaded down her form. Her kind smile broke through a look of concern and worry as she caught sight of Gon the Squire and the man next to him. A tall thin man with long white hair. Kite the knight, the man who took Gon under his wing. Standing to her right was Prime minister Cheadle, a woman with green hair. To the left Lord Kurta. Gon waved slightly at him causing Kurapika to smile slightly but stay professional.

"Sir Knight Kite I have summoned you and your squire here for an important mission. There have been evil witches plaguing small towns and other witches working for their communities. The reason is currently unknown but in an attempt to keep these good witches safe we are bringing many to the castle and other secure locations so they can continue their service from safety. I want you and your squire to go to the Witch Bisky by Dugal village along with her apprentice and bring them here." Gon looked down towards his feet, Dugal was a small village not too far from here. In fact, he has been there multiple times himself due to their fishing spots. He did know about Bisky but never saw her. Would she look like the scary images he had seen in books, the shriveled old woman with rotting teeth? Or would she appear like a regular person?

"Of course my lady, and the other witches?" Kite asked.

"I have sent out other knights and have several more to talk to, do not worry, focus on Bisky for now."

"Yes, your majesty" They both bowed and turned to leave. As Gon turned he caught sight of Queen Mito placing a hand on her heart then forward. My heart goes with you. He made a grabbing motion and pressed his hand towards his. I will keep it safe. He had only two years left until the decree. He was not sure if he was happy or sad. He had already turned 16. Well, no point in worrying about it. He waved bye toward the three. Kurapika gave him a nod. Then the two left the room.

"Okay Gon gets our horses ready, we will be wearing rider gear. I'm going to go see if there is a cart we can use."
"Okay Kite," he said, glad he had a simple tunic and trousers on. It would have taken a long time if he had to remove any armor first. He took off towards the stables where two horses were waiting for him.

"Lilly, Petunia! We are going on a quest!" He said eagerly as he grabbed a heavy saddle and placed it first of Lilly her white hair almost identical to Kite's. The last quest he had been on..well it did not go so well. A wave of excitement went through him.

Killua
Killua was sitting at a large wooden table staring at a poultice made of brown fabric wrapped around a few herbs. It was SUPPOSE to alleviate allergies but the only thing he seemed to be able to make the blasted thing do was piss him off. He knew he said the words right. He wanted to reread the book but he knew it would do no good. He knew he said them right and yet nothing! Besides it was supposed to be a test, he was sure the hag would know if he read it while she was gone. He pushed his silver locks out of his way as he looked around the small stone hut that he, Alluka, and his master lived. There was one main room with a large hearth to the right where a cauldron bubbled lightly. Herbs and candles were throughout the space giving it a smell of a spice cabinet yet it was surprisingly pleasant. There was Killua's cot pushed to the side of the work table. Next to it was another cot for his younger sister. On the left side of the small building, there were two doors. One towards the cellar where their stores were and the other to His Master Bisky's room.
