The castle that those of the Grand Chase call 'home' was a large and spacious, plenty of opportunity to hide and not be found easily. One of which, I was currently utilizing. There was a courtyard that was large enough for the whole of the Chase to practice separately without running into one another. There was a sort of hallway that ran next to it with walls that had wide, glass free windows. One of which I was standing by, hiding in the shadows, watching the rest of Chase. Elesis, Arme, and Lire had teamed up in a match against Ronan and Ryan. I'm sure they would've gotten Jin to join their match, but said fighter was currently watching Amy practice her singing with an odd sort of dreamy look on his face. I don't even want to know what he's thinking.

I began to make my way toward the roof. I might've joined them, had I felt more like I fit in with them. They all seemed to be here simply because they wanted to help protect the world, while I had crimes to atone for. Although Lire and Arme had told me several times that it wasn't my fault because I had been possessed, I still felt guilty. Upon reaching the roof, I laid down and just stared at the sky. It didn't help that I couldn't remember anything before I had been save from Kaze'Aze by the others. Scratch that, I could remember one thing: my name.

////////////////////////////

“There you are!” I don't know how much time had passed before Arme's voice snapped me out of my daze. I sat up and looked behind to see said mage turn around and shout to whoever was down below, “Hey Ronan, I found him! He was on the roof the whole time!” She then turned back to me. “The Knight Master wants to see you, you know.”

I sighed and stood up, brushing the dust from my clothes. “Alright where is she?” I asked, walking to the edge of the roof.

“She's in the great hall. Oh and she looked pretty serious, so be careful.”

“When does she not look serious?” I muttered under my breath as I jumped off the roof.

“Show off!” I heard Arme yell from the roof as I landed easily.
I just rolled my eyes and headed towards the Great Hall. When I was almost there, I was stopped by Ronan. “What is it?” I asked him.

He just smiled and said “Good luck.” And then walked off. I watched him leave, staring at him with an odd expression. 'Good luck'? What are we, sending me to my doom? I shook my head and entered the Great Hall, where I was met with a bit of surprise.

“Knight Master, what's going on?” I asked as I stared at the unfamiliar person that was standing not too far from the Knight Master. He was old looking, and seemed as if the only thing that was keeping him standing was a Special looking Katana. I think I've heard of him, he's the Assassin Guild Leader, I believe. And his weapon was a Nodachi. But what would he want with seeing me?

“So you are Lass.” He said with a slight smile.

"Yes sir...if you don't mind me asking...but why are you here?" 

He smiled and came over to me slowly. He handed me a worn looking scroll. "He who completes this mission will receive the right to under go the test to become my successor."

////////////////////////

I had finished packing and had just the castle grounds when I heard an all to familiar spell: "Stone Curse!" Before I could even jump out of the way, it hit me.

"Good work Arme, maybe now we can actually catch up with him." I heard Ronan's voice behind me. Great, what did they want? I frowned. Or I would have if I could move.

"Guess what Lass!" Arme's voice said in a Cherry voice. "We're coming with you!" She paused. "And if you say no you'll just stay here all day!" I think she was enjoying this. "So what do you say?"

"Arme, he can't move so I doubt we'll get an answer anytime soon." Ronan again. You know, I think the we staying behind me deliberately.

"But then he'd just run off!"

"If he says no you can just curse him again, can't you?"

"Your right!" At that moment I felt the ability was to move was mine once again. As such I turned to face the two. "So, are you going to let us come with you or do you want to be cursed again?" Arme said, an odd smile on her face.

I sighed. "Well I guess I have no choice but to let you two come with me. But what about the others?"

"They're off on another mission. Now where is our first stop?" Ronan asked.

"The cyclops over in the Ruins of Ellia. We'll have to take a boat." I informed them.

"Unless..." Ronan muttered. What did he-

But before I could finish my train of thought, said kanavan knight summoned his dragon. Arme screamed and hid behind me, clinging to shirt. I tensed a bit, but that was only because her nails were digging into my skin. "Get off would you? He's just showing off." I said somewhat annoyed.

The mage did as I told her and proceeded to promptly give Ronan a smack in the head with her wand. "Don't scare me like that!" She practically yelled at him. He just laughed a little while rubbing his head.

I shook my head. "So you intend to have us fly on that?" I asked skeptically.

"Well, why not? It's certainly faster then going by boat." Ronan pointed out.

"I guess..." I muttered and Arme gave a small squeak.

So we all boarded Ronan's dragon and took to the air, with said Dragon owner at front. myself in the middle and terrified mage last. All because he said that he didn't want to be distracted by her holding onto his clothes. I don't believe it for one second. I think he's plotting something...esh, if I'm not cut in two by the time we reach Ellia because of how tight arme's gripping me it'll be a miracle.

Ok and that's the end of the first chapter! Hope you enjoyed it~

Oh, and because I'm to lazy to make Lass explain what everyone is wearing (i don't think he'd really notice, anyway) I'll tell you.

Lass- Meiser upper and lower armor, Nobels shoes, and angelic white helm (no gloves)

Ronan- Kanavan R.G.M. Upper, lower, gloves, shoes and Spell Knight's Raider Helm

Arme- Moonlight helm, Mage General's Upper Armor, Valkyrie Gloves, Luna Lower Armor, Mage's Qupao shoes

I had fun in the shop dressing up these three to see what I like best XD Now I would have had Lass wear the striker outfit (because it's my fav outfit for him) but he's not a striker yet in the story so I couldn't have him wear it TT_TT Anyways, see you next time!
