Galleon, a tall muscular man was ordered to see the king. When Galleon saw the king he didn't recognize him for he usually and a casual clothing. Now he was dressed in a red silk robe. The king said to Galleon "do you know the town by the name of Palleus?" "yes" he replied. "i need you to go there i have a special errand for you." "what kind of errand sir?"

Just inside of the kings court stood a boy who was most likely around the age of ten. He wore a simple white shirt that was well cleaned, a very proper child indeed. He sat in a small chair looking at Galleon and the king with curious eyes. He was not a noble, yet he had come here following the large man he knew to be Galleon. Of course, the reason why he was sent to follow him, was unknown, and so was the person who had sent him.
A child like you, could easily do this mission for me... his master had told him just a few days ago, and he had been following him ever since. He traveled light, and nondescriptly to hide suspicion. Concealed within his leggings was a tidy short sword, which he was actually well trained in. His master told him, that he was his most promising student, and so, this young child took it to heart, and promised never to let him down. He heard the town of Palleus mentioned.
"Huh, that town, is quite far away isn't it?" he asked him, looking at the ground idly. "I suppose I will have to go there after him... but this king doesn't seem to fit the description that Mel gave me... oh well, I guess I will have to report back to her sooner or later..." then he got out of his chair.
"Your majesty, may I accompany this young man to the town of Palleus... my father is waiting for me there..." he said awaiting the kings reply.

"No" said the king just noticing the boy. "This a one man job. Galleon do you wish to take this errand? The pay will be good." "I will not accept this errand until you tell me what it is that i am doing" said Galleon.
"After you choose your choice of weapon we shall discuss this matter further. Weapons? Galleon asked in alarm."what will i need weapons for, what kind of errand is this? Remember this Galleon... this is my kingdom and i can have you exiled at the snap of my fingers. Are you willing to take that risk?"
"As you wish." Galleon said defeated. I shall see what weapons you have. I think you will like my broad assortment of weapons. said the king triumphantly."follow me to the back room. Guards have this boy escorted out of here. "okay lets go" said Galleon"I shall see what you have."

The boy took one look at one of the guards and gave him a small childish smile. "The king can say this is a one man job, but there is nothing he can do as long as my master is watching..." The boy said removing his short sword from his leggings. The guards looked at him questionly, what kind of a child would carry such a tool- yet the way he held it seemed almost professional. "Touch me and I will kill you without hesitation." The boy said, knowing that the king was busy with Galleon in the other room. His stared up threatening at the guards who shrugged and started to draw out their own weapons...

"Are you a hunter?" asked the king. "No i am more of a warrior. We have the finest swords around here. Do you have and Katanas or Scimitars? I believe we do it is a steel bronze alloy scimitar. It is the most powerful metal alloy there is. I need a knife about half a foot long. That will do" said Galleon. "Like this?" said the king. That is exactly what I needed" said Galleon.
"Lets go back out now and discuss this errand I have for you."when the two came out of the room Galleon instantly drew his new scimitar as he saw the 3 guards fighting the young but very skilled boy. "I'll handle this" said Galleon. The boy saw him coming and instantly flipped the guards' swords out of their hands. Galleon was stunned at his skill after all these were skilled guards. Galleon got over the shock as the boy lunged at him at blinding speed. Galleon saw what was coming and blocked an over-hand cut then a quick stab by arcing his blade. Then Galleon lunged he faked a stab and over-hand cut. The boy was to quick and their swords met."I never thought you would be this good" said Galleon.

((Eh, try not to control MY character like that))
The boy gave a tiny smirk at Galleon. "Your reputation precedes you... my master has spoken of you..." he said jumping back, making sure not to strike Galleon, because all in all it was part of his mission.
"Good king, surely you'll reconsider... if you let me travel with Galleon I can make sure the mission gets completed, no questions asked." The boy was prepared for any answer, if the king was mad that he defeated his guards, he would simply leave, and report his finding to Mel, and depending on what she said- he would act accordingly.

"If you are this good i guess i can't refuse" said the king. "But if you fail this mission know one thing. You will die if you fail this mission. Not by me but it is the only way to fail. There is no escaping if to you fail they will kill you" said the king.
"May we discuss this errand now" asked galleon. "Ah yes, the errand. How could i forget. This was all caused by the king in Palleus. He has been sending out soldiers to kill any settlers that are not part of towns. Then he takes the land for himself and sets up sentries on the borders. He figures that i will try stopping him. That is what you do. All you have to do is sneak into the town as travelers from a near-by town called Calen. You will ask to see the king in private about a proposal from the king. You will do this at night so no one sees you when you make your escape. you will kill him to stop his greedy kingdom from growing" got asked the king."
"Yes sir I fully understand the importance of this mission" said Galleon. I also know that it is very dangerous and that we must do this with the utmost ease and care" said Galleon. "I will give you travelers cloaks to hide you weapons. Is that understood" the king said to the boy. "Do you accept this mission?

"Yes, I do accept this mission. It make it seem like dragon slaying..." The boy took the cloak and wrapped it around him and concealed his short sword in his sheath. Of course there was escape- the king of this petty kingdom was a coward. Melissa was right, he wouldn't go to war because it would look bad in his name, of course would want to stop the ambitious king of Palleus... but in discretely, by using a no-named assassin who wasn't even an assassin. The boy couldn't help, in his own ignorance fell that Galleon did not understand the importance of the mission. If they were caught, they would be tried as criminals, and than sentenced to death. No matter what they would say, the King would be cleared of any suspicion and he would try again in till he had killed the king.

"When do we leave sir" asked Galleon? "You must leave right away for he is killing hundreds of people every week. It will take you at least that long to get there" said the king as he handed them there cloaks. They were mottled gray and green. "Why are they such a color i thought we were supposed to be travelers. You are this will help you blend in with the your surroundings. One hint if you think you seen stay still. This cloak is of better standard then you would think. Now, you will leave in the morning so get some rest" said the king.

The boy only nodded as he walked out of the palace door, and then turned back to face Galleon. "When you set out tomorrow, I will be there..." he said calmly and then he walked out and out of sight.
I will have to report this to Melissa... he thought quickening his pace, darting through ally-ways and merchant vendors, picking his way to an abandoned bakery, and then flung open a trapdoor and into the darkness of the cellar.

When the next day arrived Galleon went to the palace to leave for his mission to kill the greedy king. When he got there he saw that the king was wearing casual clothes like normal. Galleon looked at the king. "We shall wait for the boy to get here. You need provisions for the trip."

The boy suddenly appeared wearing the gray cloak the king had given him yesterday, and his sword sword which was concealed within- "Good morning Galleon." He said with a mocking cheerfulness that was quickly hidden by a serious look on his face. "How does the king fair...what of the mission, My lord?" the boy asked, feeling that something uncertain was about to happen.

"I fair well" said the king. "And of the mission you are to leave in 20 minutes. I still need to give you your provisions. Galleon since you brought a pack then we shall store everything in there. You will need two weeks worth of provisions to get to Calen, you will also need 500 gold coins to bye enough food to get to Palleus. i have given you extra so you may each bye one thing that you want. Now you two must go to the North Gate. There you will start your journey to Calen. Galleon started walking to the North Gate. "Let's go."

The young boy followed Galleon to the gate silently. He would do whatever it took to complete the mission Melissa gave him. He wouldn't care if this mission went astray, he could be protected by his master.

Galleon made it to the gate with the mysterious boy behind him. "We are going to Calen on orders of the king" said Galleon. "You may pass" said the guard. So Galleon was walking along the path to Calen with woods to their right and a beautiful pond to the left. Night fell and they made camp. He made a small fire and cooked some meat. Galleon gave some to the boy. They fell asleep. All of a sudden he stopped. "Don't move" said Galleon under his breath. So Galleon stood as still as he could not daring to even breath. He had heard a bunch of sticks breaking under the weight of something as heavy than a battle boar. Something was coming through the woods straight at them. . Galleon knew about Battle boars. You didn't want to make them mad. Right as it came out of the woods it saw them. It rushed at full speed and. Galleon woke with a start right before he was gored by the giant animal. It was morning.

The woke up quietly and yawned. He had slept in a tree that night, enjoying being higher up than down on the ground. Especially since there was a pond nearby and the draft could easily make you ill. He plucked the fruits of the tree and examined them carefully before taking a nice bite out of it. It tasted sweet and he enjoyed it as the sweet juice filled his mouth. He looked down at where Galleon was supposed to be sleeping yet he wasn't to be found. Apparently, something had happened the night before.
"Oh well... I might as well go back to town then... Melissa will be waiting for me after all!" the boy leaped from the tree, heading back to the town.

"Where are you going" asked Galleon. "Trying to sneak off? Well, you chose to do this mission too so you are staying here" said Galleon as he walked out from behind the tree. Let's start walking".

"i was looking for you. Now let's go, I have a bad feeling about here said Galleon. "We shall walk until sundown. We may take as many brakes as needed no more" said Galleon firmly. "we need to get there in two weeks. Hurry" said galleon as he started to walk.
