The old world was in a state of peace for over 100 years. Though the races in the world have had their differences, they still live peacefully together. As the races enjoyed their prosperity, a great threat has been laying in wait for a moment to strike. When the chance came, the enemy army came from under the surface of the earth and began to destroy villages and entire cities. As a last resistance, the king ordered an army of all races to be formed to repel these invaders. The battle between the two armies was ended swiftly with the defeat of the evil Lord Rezz. With Rezz gone, the evil army dispersed and wasn't seen for over a century. In the current world, a peace has fallen in place once more. Still aware of the dangers of the evil army returning, the king has been recruiting travelers to join another army in case of the return. Few attacks occur from the enemy currently, but the royal family stays on their guard...

It was a loud and busy day in the capital city. Markets and streets were filled with seas of people and more were crowding in. It would be rare to find a bit of breathing room here. A few squads of guards made their daily round and kept the order in place. Multiple fliers were scattered around the city. The fliers advertised for the King's army. Money and various rewards and perks were advertised as well, most likely trying to tempt people's lust for wealth.
Knoll was quietly walking through the crowded streets. It didn't really bother him that there was no elbow room. He was looking around at the fliers posted all around him. When he was able to free himself from the crowd, he walked over to one of the fliers. As he read, the money and riches didn't seem to peek his interest at all. Rather, the sense of an adventure made him think. He grabbed the flier and followed the directions to sign up. Since he was walking and not even paying attention to where he was going, he bumped into a young man. "Oh, forever alone. I wasn't looking where I was going."

The man, being of smaller stature, almost fell down from being bumbped into. He didn't say anything. He had strange attire on, long sleeves and long pants, even though it was a hot day. He was, however, wearing sandals. "..." He was wearing a light blue wolf mask, with black attributes along the sides. His cold blue eyes looked back and showed only emotion. The emotion was, "Why bother talking to me."

Knoll wasn't really sure what he had done wrong, but he shook the thought out of his head as he watched the man walk away. "Okay..." He put the flier in his pocket and continued on to the recruitment office. Upon arriving, an officer quickly walked up to him. "Sir, are you here to join the King's army?" The officer had a stern look and his uniform was very neat. "Yes, I am." Knoll nodded his head and followed the officer as he motioned him to follow. "You have to fill out a bit of paperwork before you can join..." The officer stopped by a table and handed Knoll a small stack of papers. "Fill these out and you can join. Now if you'll excuse me." Without saying another word, the officer left. Knoll sighed and took the quill from the desk. "Great... Paperwork..."

The man continued walking to the center of town. He was hungry. He had no food, no money, and no job. He resorted to stealing. A few moment's later he was running, much faster than an ordinary person could. He wasn't even forcing himself to run fast. He had both of his pockets each with a fruit, and he was holding one in his hand. "Help, Thief!" was heard not too soon after. The man, or in all actuallity, the young man jumped on, and then off, a wooden wagon that was in motion, grabbed the gutter on one of the buildings, and pulled himself up. He gave a quick kick to the roof and caused the shillings to come down in a wave. He was jumping from rooftop to rooftop, dodging the guards down below. He lost his footing after a while. He fell off the building with a few shillings and landed into a barrel. He was hurt so he didn't attempt another run. He was taken by the guards. This wasn't his first, or even fifth time getting in trouble for stealing.

"Name... Age... Gender... Birthplace..." Knoll was mumbling the requirements on the sheet to himself. It made it easier to think if he read it out loud. "Why is this even required...? If you're willing to fight, you should be added no matter what..." He continued to fill out the forms. A slight clank was heard in the distance. The guards had brought someone in and were most likely going to throw them in a cell. Taking a quick moment to see what was transpiring, he saw that the young man he had bumped into earlier was now in a cell.

"Kid, you're really starting to get annoying." the guard stated as he flung the young man with the mask into the cell. "forever alone, kid, but this time I'm following the rules. You're staying in here for a week, and you're not allowed items. I'm going to need that mask." he stated as he approached the young man. He, in turn, reacted. He stood up and headbutted the guard with his mask. The mask was made of a lightweight metal, so it hurt. When he did so, the young man grabbed the keys, exited the cell, slammed the door, and locked the guard inside. It took him 3 seconds. He stood in front of the cell, spinning the key on his finger tauntingly, He wasn't wanted as a petty thief in 2 towns for nothing.

Knoll was now directly behind the young man. "You know, that's probably the quickest I've seen anybody trap guards." He wasn't angry at the young man at all. In fact, he sounded quite impressed by the man. "What's your name anyway?"

The young man panicked when he heard someone speak directly behind him. He immediately darted sideways, dropping the key. He went into another run, jump, and kicked the door open. The quickest way to the exit was topass next to Knoll. He instead, intending on escape and not recapture, took a different door.
"Don't just stand there! There's a reward on his head of a 100!" the guard shouted with a bruise on his forehead from inside the cell.
The young man turned the corner and immediatly started going up stairs to the second floor. When he reached, he saw from a nearby window that it would have been too far a drop. He went inside one of the rooms, grabbed some rope, and hided instead.

Knoll sighed and turned to follow the young man. "Everything doesn't revolve around money..." He slowly approached the room that the man had run into. Somehow, Knoll could tell that he had run in there. "Hey, I'm not trying to capture or hurt you. I just want to talk." His voice was calm and sounded like he was telling the truth.

The young man heard Knoll. He wasn't about to talk, though. He looked around the room and noticed the loose board on the cieling. He tied the rope to the board, specifically on the side farthest from the door, and tied the other end of the rope to the doorknob. He then hid beside the door, so that when the door opens, it would cover him. If the door were to be opened, the board would be pulled from the cieling unto whoever pulled it open.

Knoll opened the door and looked in. "Hello?" He didn't notice anything at first, but did prepare himself for a sudden trap. This man was obviously a trickster and could easily fool someone.

The trap had failed to work. The rope was too long for it to have worked with simply opening the door. The young man had a plan B. He kicked the door since he was hiding behind it, causing it to move with enough force so it would slam shut. He grabbed a small potted plant and threw it out the window, causing the glass to shatter. He ran and grabbed the sheets from the bed.

Knoll flew back from the force of the door slamming. "Oh come on!" He takes out his claymore and halves the door in one slice. Apon seeing the young man, he points his sword at him. "Now that was incredibly uncalled for..." It took him a second to see the man grabbing the bed sheets.

The young man didn't say anything. He just wrapped his hands with the sheets. He darted for the window. The grabbed hold of the window edging hanging from the outside. He was hoping that what he saw outside from when he was brought in. The purpose of the sheets was to not injure his hands from the broken glass. He took a breath and let go. What he hoped for was correct. He landed on a thin edging between the second and first floors. He gripped the wall and started sidling to the balcony to his left.
