The day after their ninetieth training day, James, Laura, and Aaron had been called to the office of Commander Lucius for a mission assignment.

  The second the three step into the office, an overwhelming weight comes over their body, like they couldn't even move if they tried.

  Across the room is Lucius, who is sitting behind a desk, doing paperwork decides to speak in an almost bored tone.

  "So, you three're the newest rookies, eh? Well you have your first mission starting today."

  The three look almost petrified.

  Lucius realizes their expressions and chuckles, somehow lifting this weight.

  "So, your mission is collecting some crucial info from our undercover Knight, we would send some more..."

  He hesitates, almost like he's trying to find a way to not sound offensive.

  "Qualified people, but all the more qualified Knights are either already on missions, are busy, or I don't trust as much."

  Laura replies to Lucius "We'd be happy, Commander."

  Lucius chuckles

  "Commander, really? You've known me long enough, just call me Lucius."

  Laura slowly nods before walking out the door, James following behind.

  Lucius asks Aaron to stay before handing him a small piece of paper.

  "This is the info you'll be givin' him, don't you dare open it."

  A grin creeps it's way onto Lucius' face as that same weight falls onto Aaron's shoulders, before it quickly goes away again.

  "Tell the other two that it'll be a day and a half trip and that you'll only need to stop once to sleep, the pack over there has enough food."

  Lucius points at a large pack and Aaron picks it up before leaving for the mission as well.
