In the church we see an Angel praying to a statue of the Angel Goddess Hyperion. A young novice boy is approaching her from behind.

"High priest, what are you praying for?" The novice asked.

"Why I pray for the Divine Missions. For angels to come and fulfill their roles and then to leave, just like they always have. I pray for the next heroes to come soon and end the conflict between the demons and humanity." The High Priest turned around to face the novice.

"Shouldn't you also pray for victory instead, for your comrades on the battlefield?"

"There are no victories and defeats in the war between the forces of light and darkness. At best, I could be considered one of the guardians of heaven. I would be better suited to pray for the safety of our brave heroes."

"Is that so?" the Novice replied.

And then the statue of Hyperion started to irradiate a blinding light. A Pillar of light sprung into the sky, into the very heavens themself as the Angel heard a voice in her head.

"Magnificent, it's been a while since the last hero summoning ritual. The time is almost upon us. The time of the prophesied one. The one who will bring about the end of the world. Soon I can finally rest and not have to deal with this insufferable world any longer. Hear me now my little Angel. The Demon Lord has been reincarnated. They're in their infant stage but soon they will be the most powerful foe the heroes will have faced yet." Hyperion spoke.

"My Lady, are you sure about this?" The Angel asked

"Yes, now go and do as I command, my vessel, bring the heroes to this world and task them, eliminate the Demon Lord once more and bring about an everlasting piece."

The Angel's eyes glowed and then she fainted.

The Novice noticing this, yelled out, "Remira, Remira are you okay? Guards GUARDS come quickly...

Meanwhile at the training grounds Kemo and Constantia was training with Tsubasa to become more powerful and skilled warriors.

"Come on Kemo, you gotta try harder!" Tsubasa shouted

"I'm going as hard as I can!" Kemo yelled back

"Don't listen to her Kemo, you're doing great!" Constantia shouted

"You too Constantia! Keep up the good work!" Tsubasa shouted

"Gahh!" Kemo grunted

"Hehehe" Constantia giggled

Kemo swings her axe down with raw power causing a wave of earth to go towards Tsubasa. She dodge the blast by flying into the air. Meanwhile Constantia was hot on her heals causing a gust of wind to hit Tsubasa blasting her back down to earth crashing into a bunch of barrels full of practice weapons.

"HAHAHAH" Tsubasa laughed "That was pretty good you guys, really good in fact, you totally got me there. Instead of being at each other's throats you guys make a good team."

"Yeah, it's nice to have someone to watch my back." Kemo said

"Yeah, I never knew how much I missed having friends until now." Constantia said

"I miss video games." Solomon said, while laying on the ground, eating a lollipop.

"You're not even trying are you?" Tsubasa asked

"Nope" Solomon said, "because my skills are solely necromancer based. I have to kill in order to use my power. As I said before I love animals, I'm not going to kill any creature I see just because it'd raise my level."

"You got a point, maybe we can ask our moms for permission to head to a dungeon. There's bound to be a lot of monsters to kill there Solomon, then you can raise your level and catch up to the rest of us." I said, skeptical if our moms would even let us go to a dungeon by ourselves. We cleaned up our mess and headed out separately to ask our moms.

When we all gathered at the edge of the city gate. One of us was lagging behind though, Constantia has yet to make her appearance. Until she finally showed up with an unexpected chaperone.

"Hey guys" She spoke embarrassed, "soooo I got permission to come as long as my sister here watches over us. Her name is Gwendoline. Say high to my friends, Gwen"

"I can't believe mom told me I have to watch over my little sister and a bunch of babies in a dungeon. Don't expect me to do all the work clearing monsters for you fools. Why are you guys even going to a dungeon anyway?"

Gwendoline is an owl mage with red sclera eyes and white pupils. Her feathers were a darker shade of midnight blue, while her face was as white as snow with a black beak. She had long feathery hair and bangs on one side of her face. She wore adventuring gear and had a shortsword sheathed ready for dungeon exploration.

"Ooh you are quite the charmer aren't you" I said

"What was that?" Gwen asked.

"I totally get your type. You’re a rebel aren’t you? Just like the rest of us” I said with a sly smile.

She looked at me weirdly. Sizing me up.

“Anywho, we're going to the Dungeon to help out our friend Solomon level up and acquire new monsters to necromance so her necromancy skill can level up.

"So like what's your arsenal?"

"I'm a scythe user and I use dark and fire magic." I say proudly

"I use wind magic, a really good big sister," Constantia said. "No doubt you'll be amazed. I also take up using the rapier"

"You use a rapier sword? Since when?" Gwendoline asked

"Since Tsubasa told me I have an affinity to become a Red Mage with practice. It was a little tough at first but I got the hang of magic swordplay"

"Necromancy and gunplay, although I don't know where nor how I'm supposed to get my hands on firearms in a fantasy world" Solomon spoke.

"Fantasy world?" Gwen asked.

"AH Nevermind her Gwendoline, so you're our cute Legion member's big sister. I like you already, you know that? You're pretty but are you pretty strong?" Kemo challenged.

"Oh please, as if any of you could be stronger than me, you're all just pipsqueaks. I have years of experience."

We all looked at each other and smiled, shaking our heads.

"Oh you poor soul, you have no idea what you're getting into," Kemo said.

"Yeah you're all dead wrong" Gwen retorted.

"If you say so, but I will say this. In a few years time you'll be eating those words. You'll be kissing our feet begging for forgiveness." I said.

"Try me, little brat." Gwendoline taunted.

"You want to make a wager then?" I asked

"Try me" Gwen smiled

"I bet that us pipsqueaks can kill more monsters than you"

"And what do I get out of this if I win" Gwen spoke.

"If you win we'll do whatever you ask us to for a whole week" I say

"A whole week of chores? Now that sounds fantastic, you got yourself a deal shorty!"

With a firm handshake we made off to the dungeon to not only help a friend but to win a bet…
