I walk straight out of the castle doors, right past the guards who frequently catch me sneaking out. I look at them with a smile on my face. They scowl at me in return. "See you boys later," I laugh as I walk over the bridge.

I look into the far lands ahead of me and I begin my journey south to the land of Britannia. Supposedly I should cross paths with this mystery person from a prophecy. King Arthur has filled me in on his looks and, his approximate height. He's said to have green hair that looks like a bird's wings, fair skin, and purple eyes. 

.

..5 hours later...

"I haven't seen the sun since my last sneak-out attempt.." I say as I look up at the sky. 'clouds'  I smile softly at the sight of them. "I forgot what it's like to be outside"

I must've been too focused on the sky because I ran straight into a wagon... Well, the wagon ran me over... I hit the ground so hard that I couldn't even recall falling. I look around a bit angry now. "what the hell..." I say as I watch the wagon speed off past me. As it passes I see green wing-like hair and my eyes go wide. I began to tail the wagon and slowly catch up as they approached a village. 

"It's huge!" A boy with red-purple hair shouts. "A monster wolf?!" Another man shouts as I get closer. "but that's one of King Arthur's creations.." I whisper upon seeing the rampaging monster wolf. I cover my mouth as I hear a woman crying from inside the house, then from a small window, I see a young girl in the arms of her mother. My blood runs cold. "What..Why Arthur..?" I cover my mouth as I stand there. 'I knew Camelot wasn't the kindest but surely they wouldn't terrorize small towns and families...' 

But before I can even move, the green-haired boy jumps from the wagon. "My grandpa always used to say, "destroy the wicked and lend the weak aid.. and above all else, defend that which is most dear to you with your life." My eyes widened. 'how could this boy be the destroyer of our world..?' 

"I never want to feel that pain again, or try risk and putting anyone else through it!" He lands on the ground and sprints to the wolf. "You hear that wolf? I'm going to cook you up and eat you!" I deadpan "Could him...?" you laughed at the boy. He pulls a bow out and shoots two arrows.

I stare in amazement as they make a U-turn and come crashing down on him. I laugh incredibly loud and nearly fall on the floor. My eyes widened as I watched the wolf move his paw to attack him but before he could move his comrade with red-purple hair saved him. 

"Donny! Are you okay?" Percival shouts. I continue to watch as I slowly approach. "That.. Hurt!" He shouts back at the green-haired boy. "Why did you come back here?" Percival asked, confused at the man's switch in personality. "What choice did I have?" He replies through grunts. "Huh?" Percival inquires. "You lit something in me. The flames that I thought were lost are burning" Without realizing it, I slowly begin to like this kid.

I smile and look at the two, I then swiftly get the mother and daughter out of the house while the beast is distracted. As I walk out of the house with the mother and daughter I see Percival stop the monster wolf's paw from attacking him, with his bare hand. My eyes go wide... This boy.. He's incredibly strong.

"How dare you. Attack... MY FRIEND" He begins to shout as he somehow makes his hand hige and slaps the monster wolf to the ground. Instantly killing it. I stood there without saying anything.

The crowd cheers as I watch the monster Chao's crest disappear. I instantly feel more calm and begin to relax. I look to the boy who saved an entire of village from being eaten by the monster wolf and now, seemingly, I don't want to complete my mission... Percival?.. huh...
