"Aren't all of you? Oh... We're fucked." His nose scrunched up, brows furrowing in fear.
"Sanu... You should probably wake up." He nudged the second man, Sanu. Desperately trying to wake his friend up.
"Kale... What the hell are you saying?" Sanu finally woke up, he glanced at kale before finally looking infront and realizing they're fucked.
"You- you won't get shit from me!" The man called kale stuttered out, he tried crawling back but his back hit a wall.
"I doubt that you two would actually keep quiet." Rowan finally spoke up, looking back at them.
"You have a guy that can transform into a werewolf anytime he wants." Rowan looked at Kael, Kael's lips curled into a devilish smile making the two men shrink back.
"And theres the mentally unstable jester," Jinx giggled at Rowan mentioning her, the two men flinched when she disappeared in a gust of red smoke and appearing on his shoulders and sitting on it.
"A high elf that can shoot a Arrow into your head without even glancing at you." Sylvia smirked at how Rowan described her, then going back to fidgeting with Veyrah face.
"A dark elf, that can enter the shadow realm without going insane, and also has her own void core." Veyrah ignored Rowan words, only watching Sylvia currently fidgeting with her face.
"A mage thats can reduce you into dust in a instant." Caelum raised a single eyebrow at how Rowan described him, but gave it no mind because he was brewing coffee.
"And two catkin who will cut you up while asking for pets." Mimi and Miro purred, nuzzling further onto the nervous Myra.
"And the boring and useless knight!" Jinx added with enthuiasm, slapping the top of his helm.
"Yep... and the bullied knight." Rowan grumbled under his helm, his thumb pushed his sword out slightly. His gaze fixated on the two.
"Now, would you be so kind and tell us where Knightbane is?" Rowan leaned closer, knowing the sight of him isn't intimidating but the others is.
"Sanu! Don't tell them anything–"
"Our base is located in Mikael Bakery! In the backdoor a tunnel leads to a forest, Please don't kill me!" Sanu yelled out, breaking under pressure so fast that it even confused Kael.
"Huh... Easier than i expected," Rowan let go of his sword, reaching up to grab Jinx off his shoulders and prying her off with force.
"Now, where is Mikael Bakery-?" he then felt four familiar presence. Turning around he saw Jinx, Kael, Mimi and Miro.
"...okay, how about we don't kill these two harmless men-" in a instant, Kael right arm Transformed into that of a werewolf and he punched Rowan hard making his skull rattle, he was sent flying towards a wall, metal crunching againts stone as his vision became dazed from the hit.
they saw Kael, Jinx, Mimi, and Miro walk towards them. Their expression slowly becoming terrified.
"Myra~ sweetie, don't watch." Sylvia left Veyrah, she approached the terrified Myra, one hand covering her eyes while two void-like hands that came from Veyrah covered her ears.
Rowan managed to quickly stagger back, but the floor was already covered in blood.
Their screams were short lived.

Some time later...
Rowan, Sylvia, Jinx, Kael, and Myra was now in the Noble section of Silverport, unlike the normal houses every house wasn't a house, it was a mansion. Everything shined with gold, the streets had a cleaner, everyone wore fancy dresses, suits. and all of them adorned with precious gems. Probably worth more than your life.
They Walked through the streets, the street cleaner sweeped. A noblewoman stepped out of their way, hiding a disgusted expression under her opened fan. They ignored the stares from these priviliged people.
They passed by a child and her mother, the child pointed at Rowan and asked with excitement. "Mom! Its a knight!"
The mother shushed her daughter, grabbing her wrist and dragging her away. "Don't talk to these peasents sweetie..."
Even knights are thought to be below them.
They approached the Linelle's estate, it was massive, fences that reached ten feet surrounded the estate, two armored men stood before the gate, each holding a spear.
"Those two guys wasn't any fun." Jinx pouted, crossing her arms, jinx floated just above ground.
"I don't care, i only did it to keep my primal calm." Kael glanced at Jinx, his eyes twitching from Jinx annoying voice alone.
"My head still hurts from you punching me, Kael..." Rowan grimaced about it, his shoulders hunched at the memory.
Kael huffed, not caring about Rowan sufferring, From the side Sylvia voice came out.
"How about we finish this quest first, before helping out the others? And Rowan~ you should probably fix your relationship with us." Sylvia teased, glancing at him with a smirk while her hand rested on Myra shoulder.
"I have not," Rowan arched his back forward, cracking it with a satisfied groan. "Wronged anyone at all in this party, its only been sufferring for me since the party formed six years ago."
As they got closer, and closer to the gate. Both guards put their hands on it and their palm glowed as they transferred mana into the gate, it creaked open slowly.
"Welcome, young lady." The two turned back to the group and bowed at Myra walking in.
"Those two guys were harmless, they were terrified of all of you, well except me. but my point is-" Rowan's voice stopped when the two guards was infront of them, preventing them from entering.
"Wha-? What the hell?" Rowan looked at the two guards, his arms spread in confusion.
"Halt! Why are you disgusting peasents trying to enter?" The one on the right looked down on them, nose scrunching in disgust.
The one of the left jabbed his spear on Rowan chestplate. "Useless filth like you aren't supposed to be here."
"Why I'm the only one being insulted." Rowan voice was flat, he glared at the guard and his hand gripping his sword handle tighter.
"See! Someone finally understands you Rowie!" Rowan groaned at being called 'Rowie' but Jinx kept poking fun at Rowan.
Sylvia arrows rattled in her quiver as she stepped forward just to pick a single unique flower
"What is a flithy elf doing here? Go back to the forest where you belong." The one on the left said with disdain.
"...i will cut off your dick." Sylvia took out one Arrow and gripped it firmly, she was about to stab his crotch before Rowan managed to hold her back.
"Sylvia you smug bastard, stop!" Rowan wrapped his arms under hers and dragged her back like he was restraining a furious cat.
"Its so damn satisfying seeing Sylvia disrespected like this." Kael snorted, but it only sounded like a low growl.
"They're with me! let them in." Myra voice cut in, signaling the guards to step aside with a single flick of her wrist.
The two guards glanced back at Myra and then at the four, their eyes narrowed before finally stepping aside but not with a annoyed huff by the two guards.
They passed, but Kael growled at them but he thankfully managed to control himself, Jinx giggled, but it wasn't... The usual Amusement. A vein popped on Sylvia from the disrespect to her bloodline. Rowan just gripped his sword handle tighter and passed without a problem.
"Please calm down... I don't want any of you killing my father's guards." Myra pleaded, turning back to the four.
The four collectively froze, a Noble pleading was... unheard of.
"Your... Pleading? For us not to kill your father's guards?" Kael voice had a rare confusion he was trying to check if he was hearing things.
"Yes? Why are you-"
"Whatever you say darling~" Sylvia cut in, recovering from the earlier confusion she agreed with Myra.
Finally, they entered the Linelle's estate, inside was a bit bright to the four liking, the pristine marble floors was dirtied by their boots to the maids dismay, the Chandelier plated with gold hung from the ceiling. Maids elegantly strode. Everything was high quality and fancy. They looked out of place, well except Sylvia. She looked to be in place.
"Myra! Finally you're home!" A deep voice came out, they all looked up except Myra and saw a tall man walking down the stairs and arms open, he had blonde hair and a bushy beard. The man looked intimidating but... His personality was interesting for a Noble.
"My lovely daughter! You don't know how much your family missed you!" He pulled Myra into a big hug and she tried to our him off but failed.
"Father, Let go of me!" Finally, her father put her down gently but not without a peck to her forehead.
"Well, hello! My name is Wesker Linelle, I'm the one that put up the quest so thank you for accepting it!" Wesker went up to each of them and shook their hand enthuiastically, which weirded them out for a Noble to be this friendly, except Jinx though.
"Er... Hello sir, I am Rowan Dellavalle and to my left is Kael Hamvers, the one currently on my shoulders is Jinx Harlequin and to my right is Sylvia Syrielle." Rowan snapped from his confusion, quickly introducing himself and the others.
Sylvia leaned towards Rowan ear and whispered. "What kind of... human noble is this?"
"A friendly human, i forgot there's still friendly noble's..." Rowan whispered back, his gaze fixated on Wesker.
"Now, let's get right to the point, before i pay you was there any problems while escorting my lovely daughter?" Wesker scratched his beard, his tone was concerned, looking closely at each of them.
"We got ambushed along the way, but we took care of it without a problem." Rowan put a hand up, assuring Wesker concern.
"Thank the gods!" With a flick of his finger, two maids appeared by Wesker side each holding a pouch. "Here's your a thousand gold! With an extra thousand for the ambush." The two maids handed the pouch over to Sylvia, her eyes flicked from the pouches to Wesker as she was suprised by his generosity.
"Hmph... Now that you received your payment, leave-" a hand came down to Myra head, it was Wesker, he hand chopped her and that earned a ow from her.
"Myra! Don't be rude to our guests!" Wesker softly scolded his daughter for being rude, it earned a laugh from Kael and a manic laugh from Jinx
"Now, how about you kind adventurers stay for dinner?" Wesker asked, clapping his hands together with a hopeful glint in his eyes.
"Food-!" Jinx was about to agree when Rowan hand was clamped quickly over her mouth and his other hand hugged her from behind.
"Thank you for your offer mr wesker, but we have a issue to deal with." Rowan dragged Jinx away, her legs flailing much to Sylvia amusement.

Somewhere else...
Caelum, Mimi and Miro was near Mikael Bakery, Caelum saw down and already brewing his tenth coffee of the day while the twins argued.
"Mimi get's praises more!" Mimi hissed at her brother, their tails stiff and pupils dilated.
"Miro get's more praises than Mimi!" Miro hissed back, stomping his feet.
"Both of you brats shut up." Veyrah voice cut in, her head popping out of a shade and then her body, her stomach glowed slightly because of the void core.
"Veyrah, how'd the scouting go?" Caelum took one last sip of his coffee before he stood up from his chair.
"Nineteen armed men and both of his generals are there, Knightbane seems to be expecting us." Veyrah pulled her hood down and her mask too, sheathing both her daggers.
"Hm... it should be relatively easy expect for knightbane and his generals. Though we should wait for the others." Just as caelum said that, jinx obnoxious voice rang out through the air.
