"a knight can be strong; a knight can be skilful; a knight can be smart but what truly makes a knight is someone who can walk onto the battlefield passing by the bodies of their comrades and ready their sword for an unbeatable army raging towards them." the knight shouted as the boy unsheathed their sword and ran with all their might towards their death "so fight on, fight until your body is about to break into a thousand pieces and keep on fighting! and when you face your last breath, draw on all your strength and endure because we do fight to fight but to see their faces once more is what it means to be a knight" the knight said as he watched the boy fall to his knees surrounded by the bodies of his enemies. "I... I need to get up but I took all their lives." the boy cried out to break the silence of the dead "and when you realise what you have to give up to protect those who you live stand up and give a reason to their deaths," the knight said picking the boy up and walking away from the battlefield.

Chapter 1: the life an adventurer

"Why are you covered in bruises"Jess shouted in a concerned voice

"I have been training with Garren recently," said blaze with a nervous smile

"and why have you been training with Garren recently," said Jess with an annoyed tone

"well I want to become a knight" blaze said proudly

"I'm not allowing you become a knight" jess stated bluntly

"why not it's my dream" blaze voiced loudly

"blaze listen it's good to have a dream but being a knight is too dangerous, "Jess said with a hint of grief

"I know but I becoming stronger and... " before blaze could finish his sentence jess picked up her sword and with lightning fast speed put it millimetres away from his throat

"knights have to face chances of death every day and in a war, they are ones who on the Frontline so I can't allow you to be a knight" Jess pulled the sword away and opened the door

"we will speak about this later," said Jess as she walked outside and started to head over to the guild hall

Jess arrived at the guild and went to the desk where Scarlett was standing

"hey was blaze able to find Garren" Scarlett said with eagerness

"he was able to find Garren but why do you want to know", asked Jess

"well he seemed really excited about being knight it start to make me hope he becomes one", Scarlett cheerfully said

"he shouldn't become a knight it's too dangerous he could get killed", jess said annoyed about the subject

"I know I know but he seems likes he really wants to be one it shows potential", Scarlett said quiet happily

"he always has that quality about him he can always make others around him get excited but it also shows how quickly he goes with something I just want to protect him from himself", Jess said in a kind voice

"you need to take your mind off it for now why don't you take this quest", Scarlett handed over a quest paper to Jess

"you want me to protect a noble", Jess shouted

"I know you don't have a good history with nobility but the pay is good and you just have to guard his son while he is doing his at work", Scarlett said trying to persuade Jess

"okay I know I'm basically babysitting but fine where do I have to go", Jess said reluctantly

"you just go up street and look out for a sign what says goldrey"Scarlett said with a smile

"see you later Scarlett", Jess said leaving the guild hall.

Jess was walking up the street from the guild hall and saw sign what said goldrey Manor but when she looked behind it she was in shock a massive house stood in front of her it was made out of the finest Stone and it was decorate with marble Jess quickly snapped out of the shock of seeing the gigantic house and started to walk to the gate a guard was stationed there guard Jess walked up to the guard

"hi I am Jess and the Lord of the Manor set a quest to protect his kid", Jess said trying to impress the guard

"before I let you in I recommend not mentioning the lords wife", whispered the guard trying to be to cautious as possible so nobody would here

"thank you I make sure I won't", Jess said while the guard was opening the gate for her, Jess walked passed the guard and through the gate and down the small path leading to the house but as she was walking down the path she noticed that something had been removed from the front garden she could tell by some of grass is smaller then the rest Jess reached the front door and started knock it when she stopped a maid answered the door she looked middle-age and she was dressed in nicer clothes then most

"hello I'm the maid of Lord Var goldrey what business do you have with my Lord", the maid said with a tired tone

"I am Jess a Sapphire adventurer I am here for the quest to babysit the lords kid"Jess said in very proud tone

"your here to protect the master Rey not babysit you should watch your tone towards the young master", the maid said with anger Jess was holding back screaming at maid she angry but if she screamed at the maid she would loose the job and most importantly the pay

"I am sorry about tone towards the young master may I come in", Jess said debating over if she should just kick the maid with full force and ransack the house or just do the job

"you may but if I see you steal anything I will show what the afterlife looks like", the maid said with proud grin Jess just ignored the maids threat and entered the house and started to follow the maid down a large hallway what looked more expensive then Jess's house and her equipment combined, but as she walked down the hallway following the horrible maid she noticed that someone of the painting have been taken off the wall but Jess just kept on walking ignoring it they reached a very well decorated doors the maid opened the two doors and they entered a room what made Jess's face filled with awe it was a room with many art pieces and books then her eyes move to the center of the room and they saw a young man wearing expensive clothes but strangely the young man's focus was only on a book Jess was sure he hadn't even noticed Jess and the maid

"Rey your guard is here", the maid stated

"what guard father didn't inform me of any guard", Rey said looking clearly annoyed

"well kid he posted a job with the guild so I'm taking care of you for today", Jess said already tired of Rey

"okay fine but don't bother me" Rey said attempting to get Jess to leave jess just nodded and stood against a bookshelf.

Jess was getting tired she has been standing against the same bookshelf for ages

"Hey kid what are you reading", Jess said out of boredom

"I'm reading a book and can stop calling me kid, "Rey said trying to read his book Jess looked down trying to read the cover of the book after a second she was to see what it said

"hey you reading the story of a mage," Jess said trying to make small talk

"yes I am what of it," Rey said trying to be rude as possible

"there this mage in the guild who keeps going on about it he says it's about a kid trying to become a mage but he keeps on getting rejected, "Jess said trying to remember it

"it's about more than that"Rey whispered

"what you say kid"Jess shouted trying to annoy Rey

"it's about more than that it's about how barely anyone can become a mage and society should change, "Rey said with a passion

"hey you are talking now I knew you can do it, " jess said smiling

"wha, what you really are annoying you know that, "Rey said trying to hide a smile

"I Know kid but I grow on people," Jess said smiling
