Recap- Terra is underground with the trinity. Terra got a mission and class change from the trinity. Mary is on a protection quest by her guild. (I will make Mary's stats soon and update Terra's later.)
"We're here." The carriage driver stopped the carriage abruptly in front of the King's palace. Mary stepped out and payed the driver before bidding him farewell. The King's palace was one that fit the legacy with the front doors being big enough for a dragon to come in. It was made of the red rock of the mountains that surrounded the Draken Kingdom.
"This is a nice place." Mary loved red. Just not the name they gave her. When she first started out it was simpler. Here in RoyalRoad no one knew she was the daughter of the Atlas family so people treated her normally. Normally she wore a hood though just to keep her face hidden from others as she did not change her appearance heavily. Mary noticed a man standing at the door.
"I am the minister of Draken, Jafrey." Mary looked at him. As per to usual, the minister was obese. The riches of pigs Mary thought. "I am Mary, sent here to bodyguard the object." Jafrey nodded "Yes we have been expecting you. Right this way."
The minister gestured to come inside and in Mary stepped. Jafrey took her through a long hallway stopping before one door at the end. "This is where you shall guard." said Jafrey pointing to the door. "So we are clear my lord wishes that you do not enter the room under any circumstance." Mary rose an eyebrow. It is strange that not only does she not know what she is protecting and who from but not even being able to look upon the object. "Your king must treasure this 'thing' dearly." "Yes my lord insists that it must be protected with the thief X around." "Minister who is this thief X." Finally Mary thought, someone who knows what is going on. "I'm sorry bodyguard even I do not know. No one knows who he is only that he would appear for the riches of kings and queens. Leaving only his mark behind." A bell chimed in the distance. "If you would excuse me I have other business to attend, and remember do not go in the room." Jafrey walked away down the long hallway before taking a turn out of sight. Mary took her back to the door and waited.

(Outside the Palace) Three guards were at the gate making sure that no unwanted trespassing was allowed. Security was tighter now that theif X was in the city looking for the King's treasure. An old lady approached the guards. "Please help me."
The trio looked at her and the youngest was sent. "Yes ma'am, what might be the probl..." Before he could finish his sentence his throat had already been sliced. The other two guards snapped to action. The first went for the alarm while the second charged at the old lady with a warrior charge. "She's dead." The warrior chopped down with his sword only to hit nothing. "Whaa..." The old lady had reappeared behind the other guard killing him before he could reach the alarm. Hearing his fellow guard drop the warrior turned around to late. His vision was fading. A dagger had been stuck in between his ribs. "When did she..." Before dying he looked upon the face of his killer only to see a swirling blackness. The illusion wearing off of the old lady. "Thief X....guh...."
"The treasure of the Draken Kingdom. It shall be mine." Thief X shrouded in all black jumped over the gate into the castle. A mask covered his face with a giant X across it. "Infiltration successful. I have 15 minutes before they locate the bodies." Thief X was under a time constraint before the next guard shift. He had unlocked the back door beforehand to ensure entry. Even before that he had caused a disturbance in town to insure that the protection on the palace would decrease so that they could patrol the town. He jumped right in only to face a single guard, a women he noticed with her back against the door to the treasure room.
