Chapter 1: New Mission

Authors Note: The armor in the image is the armor Izaper is wearing.

I was sitting in my room on my bed cleaning my sword. I heard a knock on my door. I growled. I didn't want anyone to bother me. "Who is it?" I said angrily. "You know who it is.  The only one that visits you." The person behind the door said. They knocked louder than before. "Go away Al!" I yelled at the man behind the door. "No can do, let me in." He told me. I sighed and got up, put my sword back in its holder and put it back on the wall. I walked to the door and unlocked it and opened the door. "Thank you." He said. "Yeah yeah." I rolled my eyes as he walked into my room. I closed the door and leaned up against the door. I looked at him with a confused look on my face. "Sorry to say this, but the Elders want to talk to you. I'm pretty sure they have a mission for you." He said. "What? It's my day off." I said very angrily at him.

"I know it is. I tried to get someone else to do it, but you know the Elders. They get what they want, and they want you to do this mission. You can talk to them if you want but I think it's no use." He told me as he grabbed my sword off the wall. I stopped leaning on the door as he walked to me. "No, I know if I try to fight with them they will get furious l. They might even bench me and shit."

He walked to me. Once he stopped in front of me and handed my sword to me. He left the room. I tilted my sword on the wall and started to change into my armor. I hooked my sword to my belt and left for the Elders Den as we call it. The Elder Den is the biggest building in this town. You can find it pretty easy. Once you walk through the gates, you would be walking into the Town Square. The Town Square is where they sell food, drinks, and armor and other things.

I live in a dormitory off the side by the armory. The armory is behind the blacksmith by the food court. The dormitory I live in is where all the level 10-15 soldiers live. I am level 12. Once I left my dormitory and walked past the armory and blacksmith. I took a right turn and I walked through the Town Square to the Elders Den. There are two guards outside the main doors. Once I walked up to them they looked confused to see me. "Look, the Elders wanted me to do a mission for them." I said. One of them laughed. The other one kinda hit his shoulder and said "hey come on now rookie no need to look so serious."

I rolled my eyes and the one that was laughing opened the door. "I'm not a rookie anymore." I said as I walked in the Den. The door closed. In the Elder Den is a big hallway with a red carpet that led to where the Elders sat. All the Elders sat in a row. I walked to the middle of the room. I stood tall waiting for them to speak. Elder 1 spoke first. "So Izaper, we have a mission for you." I just nodded because I didn't really want to make them angry. Which is not really normal for me. I love to annoy people. Elder 5 began to speak. "We want you to find the White Robe base near our town. They are getting too close." I nodded again. Elder 2 finished by saying. "Look, we want you to take out these people and don't come back until you do." "Yes Sir." That's all I said. Elder 7 waved he hand telling me to leave. I turned around and left to go back to my dorm to pack my things to travel.

When I walked in my room I saw Al. "So you gonna take the mission or grow some balls and tell them to fuck off?" He asked me. He was sitting on my desk. I walked to my weapon wall and picked up some knives. "You know I didn't invite you in so this is breaking and entering. I could get you locked up." I put a knife on my belt, and now I have a sword and three knives. He just laughed and jumped off the desk. "So how long will you be gone? It gets boring without you to train with. Have you told your dad about your mission?" He asked. I looked at him. "I will be gone until the mission is done. We don't know how long that will be. Also, I didn't tell my dad. We haven't talked in more than a week, and I think he is happy about that. So, Al I mean it don't tell him." I told him. He nodded and told me to be safe and left my dorm room.
