Ryun was in the training grounds. He was normally there when he was not guarding the Queen, knowing that, if he wanted to truly protect her against all things, he would have to be as strong as he could possibly be. He had done some training with a greatsword, but, was working on his fist fighting at that particular point in time.
As he stood there he was throwing lefts and rights, the air seemed to break under the speed and force of the blow. All of a sudden he turned around and forgot where he was and smashed a massive back hand right into a wall. When he brought his hands back, there were a few white marks on his knuckles, but, the wall, came off much worse and there was a massive crack in it from where he had struck.
Stepping back, the crack started to spread and soon, a small portion of the wall crumbled away. He sighed and looked around for someone to help him fix it. However, even though he did not know it yet, he would be assigned a slightly bigger task than fixing a wall. He started to walk towards the exit, but before he grabbed his bracers and put them on. He stood up straight looked around for a second or two before, again, beginning to head out of the training area.

You noticed that some of the knights were pleased for your new position while others reeked of jealousy and even hate. As you were about to leave the training area Captain Steiner clanked his way to the centre of the area and waved his arm furiously.
"Ryun! Over here on the double!"
He even seemed to jump up and down a little as he grew more and more impatient. His armour clung tightly to his body as he started to walk slowly over to you, how on earth he ever made Captain of the Pluto Knights was anyones guess.
"I'm aware according to Queen Garnet you are her personal bodyguard but there is a task that needs attending to and I am short on...reliable knights. Her highness is currently in court and there are enough of us around to make sure she is perfectly safe. It's not a difficult job, quite boring actually."

As Ryun was about to leave the training area, he stopped, hearing the clanking of metal. He may have been new to the castle, but, even so, the sound was unmistakable. He looked over his shoulder and saw Captain Steiner standing there ordering him to come over. Ryun would follow the order, since, even though he had no idea how, Steiner was a Captain of the Knights of Pluto.
Turning around he saw the captain was growing impatient and so, move with a little bit of speed in his step. He looked at the smaller superior officer as it seem the man’s impatience seemed to get the better of him and he began to walk towards him as well. When they met, about half way Ryun stopped and saluted. True, Ryun was the Queen’s personal bodyguard, but, rank wise, he was still a low level knight and he knew he needed to pay respect to the right people.
Standing there he listened to what the captain had to say and he had to admit, even though it was not visible on his monotonic expression, he was surprised. He was knew to the Knights, as stated before, and relatively untested, but, he was still deemed one of the reliable ones. When Steiner had finished speaking he stood there for a second or two before finally speaking, “What is the job Captain Steiner?” As always Ryun made something that could have been a lot longer, into a simple statement slash question.

The tubby Captain tried to give off an air of authority but it wasn't going down too well at the moment and the sound his clunky armour made was off putting. He spun around on his heels and turned to face you.
"There is a package you need to pick up from the throne room, it needs to be delivered to Treno. We would generally request the recipient of the package to come to the castle but he is rather busy. It isn't a heavy parcel it is actually quite small with a letter to accompany it. Take it to Treno and deliver it to Doctor Tot, come straight back once it is delivered."
He stood up on his tip toes and peered at your eyes, with a huff he dropped back down to his normal height and walked back into the castle. You had your orders soldier!

As Captain Steiner attempted to show authority in the presence of Ryun, the larger man just stood there in silence. He was not too impressed by the display, but Ryun was not about to openly insult a superior officer, even if, in Ryun’s opinion, there only thing superior about Steiner was his rank within the Knights of Pluto.
However, there was also the nagging fact in the back of his mind, not to judge the Captain too quickly, there had to be some reason he was ranked as such. Ryun had learned that judging someone simply on their looks was a big mistake. So, he kept his thoughts and opinions to himself, as well as kept them malleable, just in case future actions changed them.
When Steiner told him what he was been sent to do he had to admit, he was not too pleased. However, he would not like his personal feelings get in the way. True it was a job better suited for something like a Moogle, but, but would do the job none the less, since, even a small task done well would work towards him reaching the higher ranks, so he would not need to do those kinds of tasks.
After he had been briefed about his job he saluted the Captain before turning on his heels and headed towards the throne room. He was not sure what the parcel was, nor did he care, he was there to deliver it, not wonder what was in it. So, pushing any curiosity he had aside before he could grow to unmanageable levels, he made his way to the throne room.
Making his way through the grounds he did not stop to chat, but, gave the odd courteous nod, or, when a superior officer walked by a quick stop and salute. Lucky for the time it took him, he only bumped into two officers worth the stop and salute and so, made it to the throne room in relatively quick time.
Stopping for a second or two outside the throne room he took a deep breath before heading in. Like always, when he was in the throne room, he felt a little out of place, he may have not known where he was from, but he was pretty certain it was not from places like this. As he continued forward he stopped and looked around for the parcel.

From one of the side stairs you would hear heeled footsteps coming down the stone steps, Garnet appeared in her long white dress and tiara. She smiled but looked puzzled at the same time when she saw you.
"Ryun? Well I did ask for the most capable and trusted Knight to handle my request, I shouldn't be so suprised."
With a giggle Queen Garnet walked over to the small circular wooden table next to the throne, she picked up the rectangular box which was wrapped in brown paper and red ribbon. On top of the parcel was a letter with the seal of Alexandria stamped over it. Garnet approached you and handed you the parcel gently. It wasn't particularly heavy but there was something inside like a book or another box.
"It is very important that one of my oldest friends and mentors recieves this package. His name is Doctor Tot and he lives in Treno. You are to meet him at his home next to the Card Stadium. Please make haste..."
{Leave Alexandria, your next post may consist of you arriving at Treno it is up to you.}

Ryun stood there as he heard the footsteps. He tilted his head slightly to look at the direction of where the sound was coming from. When he saw who it was, even though barely noticeable and brief, there was a smile on Ryun’s face. He was pleased, as he always was, to see Garnet; there was something about the tiny queen that brought both peace and joy to the behemothic knight’s heart.
When she gave him the tiny parcel and the instructions he took the item and looked at it briefly before tucking it away. He understood the instructions and what he had to do. However, he had been studying the lay of the continent, and he knew the distance between Alexandria and Treno was quite a ways away. However, he had also been studying the layout of the castle, and, if he was correct, there would be a way to get to and from the two places with relative easy.
As he stood there for a brief moment he looked at Garnet and bowed, “I will take this to Treno with great haste.” With that he made one more quick bow before turning on his heels and made his way out of the throne room. As soon as he left it he looked around trying to remember something, before he nodded and made his way down through the floors. He made relatively quick work of it before he reached the sub-basement.
Standing there he looked around for a second or two, “If I remember how this, Gargent transport, works, hmmm.” With a short pause for thought he made the needed pull on the lever and various other things before he returned to the main platform.
He waited, for what seemed like a short time, until a massive bug like creature appeared, and, thanks to some of the pulls of the levers, was eating the food that had appeared. Without hesitation he got into the basket, and, shortly afterwards, was on his way to Treno.

The Gargant walked along the rails happily once it had been fed its dandelion flower. It knew its route perfectly as it had been used so many times by royalty and other important people to travel the fair distance. The journey so far had been pretty boring and the scenery wasn't exactly much to look at...that was until you felt the back of the carriage shift downwards.
As you turned around you would see three brown cloaked...midgets. They had glowing yellow eyes which shone bright from the darkness which their hoods cast. They began to jump around the carriage and one started to prod and punch at the Gargant with its gloved fist. The Gargant made an unnerving screen of pain and began to run across the tracks. They were obviously here to cause trouble...

As the Gargent made its way along the way Ryun sat there thinking about his time since he had awoken on the shores of Galbadia. It was amazing, in the short time he had awoken there so many things had happened. However, out of all of the amazing things he had experienced where he ended up and the events leading up to that event seemed to be amazing more than anything else.
During his time wandering around the lands he would have never thought he would meet a beautiful Queen and become so strongly attached to her that he vowed to protect her. Not only that but follow her back to her lands, become one of her knights, and not only that he had become her personal bodyguard.
It shocked him really, and, even though he would not, well, could not openly admit it, but his feelings for Garnet seemed to grow more and more every day he spent with her. He could not admit it because, well, he was her knight and she was the Queen, so, even if there was a chance the feelings were mutual there wouldn’t be able have something come of it.
All of sudden he felt the back of the basket tilt back slightly. At first he thought it was just his natural size, but, his instincts kicked in and he turned his head to see what was going on. What he did see surprised him, so much it took him a few moment to actually register what he had seen. Out of all the things he could think about attack him and the Gargent midgets weren’t one of them.
As the first midget was tormenting the Gargent Ryun stood up, wobbling a bit before making his way towards that midget. As he made his way towards the midget one felt some jump onto his back and felt something hitting him in the side of his head. He stopped and turned his head to receive a punch in the eye. He growled a bit as he saw one of the midgets.
Ryun went to grab the midget and, even though the small man tried to jump away Ryun managed catch him back his cloak. He pulled him around so they were face to face, well, it was almost like face to entire body. He held him there for a moment he three smashes into the head before he flung the midget will all of might smashing it into the wall.
A few seconds later he went after the first one but all off he felt something grab his leg. He stopped and looked down seeing the second midget around his knee cap. All of a sudden the midget bit him in the leg and Ryun let out a slight roar of pain. He swung down at him and smashed his fist into the base of his skull leaving a crumpled mess on the floor of basket.
He looked down at the midget and, like the first one, picked him up and flung him into the wall. He looked at the last one, pretty annoyed by then. He did not waste any time and punched the last of the midget. Ryun swung so hard it actually made a large whistling sound. When the fist connected with the midget there was cracking sounds so many of them it seemed like the body broke under the punch and flew into the wall.
When he stood there he was breathing heavily. Not because he was tired but because he really annoyed because the midgets had been really annoying but they were all so weak they had not even remotely sated his battle need, if he had one. He rolled his shoulder and rubbed the underbelly of the Gargent before sitting down and waited for the Gargent to set off again.

The whole incident was somewhat surreal...random attacking midgets. Why on earth were they even down here, this was a transportation system that was obviously in use. Perhaps they were just scavengers...or just maybe they worked for an enemy of Alexandria and Queen Garnet. Either way the threat had been dealt with and would need to be reported back to Captain Steiner.
The bug like creature came to a sudden stop after what seemed like hours. Awaiting you was a very short man with a large nose, his bushy burgundy moustache seemed to cover the whole of his mouth. Just from the look of him you could assume he was of an academic background. He held up a lantern and peered over to you.

As the Gargent began to move again Ryun sat there and thought on the situation that had just occurred. It had been a strange thing, not only had he been randomly attacked, but, by midgets of all things. The whole incident did not sit well with the goliath, and he knew the event had to be reported to Captain Steiner, once he had returned to Alexandria.
Once he had arrived in Treno, which seemed like hours later, he looked around for a second or two before standing up and stepping off the Gargent transport. He stood there for a second or two before he went to head off, however, he was intercepted by a tiny many with a large nose and equally large moustache.
Standing there he took in the little man and stood there in silence, until the other guy asked if Ryun was a friend or a foe. Standing there for a few more seconds he finally spoke, “I am Ryun Craften, I have been sent by Queen Garnet of Alexandria to deliver a package to a Doctor Tot. Why do you wish to know?” Ryun obviouly did not actually know that the little man in front of him was Doctor Tot.

He looked to the parcel in your hand and then jumped up and down, the lantern in his right hand swayed from side to side causing strange and wonderful shadows around the underground transport system.
"Oh...oh yes follow me....great Alexander's wings you are very tall."
The short man hobbled around as he turned back to face the stone steps he had come down, he didn't even look back as he showed you the way up. The short man opened up a door at the top of the steps which then opened out into a larger room. The walls were littered with hundreds of books which could mean this roon was a library. He spun around on his heels and turned to face you.
"Take a seat...if you can. Now I am Doctor Tot so I shall take that parcel now."
{Hand the parcel and letter to Doctor Tot or not.}

Ryun stood there, use to being looked over like the way Doctor Tot was. The looks he had gotten over the time he had still lodged in his memory were varied, but curiosity was a most common look. He assumed it was because of his size, so, he did not mind. Until someone had first stated it he had not realised he was so big, but, it turned out that he was.
When he spoke Ryun looked at him and watched Doctor Tot as he turned around and set off. Ryun assumed that Tot wanted him to follow the much smaller man, so, he did. When he started to walk he spoke once more, retorting to the comment about how big Ryun was, “To some I am big, after all, size is relative.” A comment he spoke often, but did not tarnish the truth behind it.
As they reached their destination he stood there and looked around at all the books. Not many people knew it, but, Ryun was an avid reader, and loved to learn more and more about the world, if not be firsthand experience then by book. Doctor Tot offered him a seat, but it seemed that they were all too small for him, so, he decided to stay standing.
When he announced himself as Doctor Tot Ryun simply spoke, “As much as I would like to, I cannot take your word on it, if you could provide some proof you are who you say you are, no offence meant.” It was true, he did not mean any offence, but, he was tasked to give the parcel to Doctor Tot and him alone. So, he would make sure the person he gave it to was the person he was meant to give it to

Suddenly the library door burst open and stood in the doorway was a young woman covered in a dirty torn cloak. She wasn't wearing too much under her cloak but she did her best to cover herself up
"Don't do it!"
She walked slowly into the room and stood by you side, she shot what you could assume was a glare to the Doctor. Her slender finger was no pointed at the short academic.
"I've been tracking you since the attack on Alexandria and her Royal Highness...show your true form now! I won't ask again."
Doctor Tot began to cackle. Louder and louder until a swirl of green smoke coated the immediate area, the young cloaked covered her face and coughed a few times to clear her throat. As the smoke did clear a tall slim woman in a dark green dress with long green hair stood in the Doctor's place. More strangely she had a third eye open on her forehead, hardly human. Her hands tapped her upper legs as she looked to the cloaked female.
"You're no fun are you, I can see why you were exiled from the Coven."

Ryun was a little surprised, even though it was not apparent on his face, by the fact the little scholar charged at him and tired to snatch the parcel out of his hand. However, lifting his arm, so, it was slightly acuter than a right angle levelling his hand to the same height of his chest, prevented the much smaller man from grabbing it.
The next thing he knew a scantily clad woman covered by a dirty cloak came in. Since he was pretty sure the supposed Doctor Tot could not get at the parcel he turned his head. The whole series of events was not sitting well with Ryun, and, usually, when it came to these sorts of things, Ryun was surprisingly intuitive.
What the woman said next took him by surprised, he turned to the little man, well, his head did anyway, just about the same time as he started to cackle. The laugh was a little unnerving, but, Ryun being Ryun, steeled himself, and hid any fact that he was unnerved. However, he suddenly realised what the cloaked woman had said, about the assumed fact that the little man attack Alexandria.
Before the emotions could really settle in smoke kicked up, and with that he raised his arm up to cover his face. When the smoke cleared there was another woman standing there with long green hair, so, the woman had disguised herself, assumedly with magic, to portray Doctor Tot. Which led him to the question, which, even though it was rare, he blurted out, “Where’s the real Doctor Tot?”

Her skin was white like snow and her piercing eyes like green emeralds. The second woman with three eyes stood in front of you both with a smirk plastered across her face.
"Can't say I know and even if I did I'm not exactly going to tell you. I've seen too many 'bad guys' get defeated by revealing their plans, watch James Bond once in a while."
"What's Biana planning Kaiya? Leave Alexandria and Queen Garnet alone they have done nothing to you."
The woman now identifed as Kaiya burst out laughing at her question which didn't amuse her one bit. She gritted her teeth and began to clench and unclench her fists in frustration.
"You of all people know that isn't true.....need a trip down memory lane from your big sister? Anyway, keep the package it's not like we really needed it."
Kaiya twirled her hand in the air and under another cloud of green smoke she vanished from the room, the cloaked woman sighed lightly as she turned to face you. Her skin was perfect there were no blemishes or identifying marks of any kind. Her nails were coated in black nail polish which was chipped at the edges, from her appearance it seemed she had not been to a town for some time or she didn't care too much for her appearance.
"Are you ok? Sorry you had to meet her....and what she stands for."

Even though not many people knew Ryun, the ones that knew him well enough could tell that not many things really got to him, overly so. However, the woman in front of him was making him a tad bit angry. Not only had he found out she was one of the people who attacked Alexandria, but, her almost callus attitude really did not sit well with him. Even though the rage was brewing it was not clear on his face that was the case. So, he stood there and watched the events unfold.
When the three eyed woman had gone, again, Ryun covering his face to protect himself from the smoke, he turned to the other one. Taking in her features he had to admit, she was a striking looking woman. He stood there was watched her for a moment before she spoke. He simply nodded in response before looking around, seemingly thinking about something. He then turned to the raven haired woman and spoke, “Could you tell me where Doctor Tot is, I’ve been tasked to give him this package, and, I do not want to let Garnet down.”

Her long cloak fell away from her leg to reveal a black leather holster with a sapphire encrusted dagger, she began to adjust the straps while replying to your comment.
"A guard of Alexandria no doubt by what you just said....yes I'm sure her Royal Highness wouldn't be best pleased if that package didn't get delivered. She is hardly the aggressive or angry ruler though..."
With the straps adjusted she brought her leg back down onto the floor which let her dark cloak fall back around her body, it was clear now she was wearing ripped black shorts and a black tank top under the cloak. Ease of movement and not so easy to spot in the dark if that was her intention.
"As for Doctor Tot I need to see him myself, according to several denizens here they haven't seen him for a few days. It actually wouldn't suprise me if he has made for Alexandria the long way, he hasn't seen Queen Garnet for some time. I suggest you return home and whatever is in that package will stay safe from those who wish to use it for...evil."
The woman moved back around the desk and headed for the library door to make her exit, she stopped just before leaving the room and placed her hand on the door frame. She glanced to you and smiled.
"Perhaps we will meet again..."
{Last chance to ask the mysterious woman any questions. If not make your way back to the Gargant and travel back to Alexandria.}

As the woman rifled through the drawers of Doctor Tot’s desk he stood there and watched. True, it was not the most lawful thing to do, what she was doing, but, due to the events that had led up to that moment Ryun did not see any harm in it, since, she seemed to by a nice enough woman. However, assumptions and thinking aside he did keep an eye on her, just in case she was doing anything, untoward.
When she commented on him being a guard he could not help but smile, well, inwardly, the smile was there, but, it was in his head. So, she did not know who he was, which, for some reason made him happy, it was better to leave such things as him being the personal bodyguard to the queen to people he knew well enough so he knew they would not try to use that fact. When she went onto comment on Garnet not being an angry or aggressive ruler he nodded, “The reasons why I cannot fail are... more personal... than that.”
After she had adjusted her strap and went for the door, the comments about Doctor Tot leaving the long way to go to Alexandria were still playing in his head. If that was the case, he could be arriving at the castle any time soon. He nodded, more to himself than anything before realising she was leaving and what she had said. He turned his head slightly and nodded to her, “Perhaps we shall... thank you for your assistance... Miss?” He had suddenly realised he did not know her name, he was not the most inquisitive of sorts, but, he should at least know who he was thanking.

For a moment it seemed like she wasn't going to introduce herself or even give you an alias. She stopped walking and then glanced to you.
"Isis..."
With her name said she left Doctor Tot's home leaving you alone. Doctor Tot still hadn't arrived at this point and just leaving the package in his home wasn't an option. You didn't know what was in it but it had to be of some importance for someone to try and take it. If you took it back to Alexandria it would at least be safe...
{Travel back to Alexandria and find Queen Garnet.}

Ryun did not say a word he just simply nodded. When the woman who had just introduced herself as Isis exited Ryun turned at the same time to leave. He did not want to waste any time and hoped his trip back would be quicker. The fact was he had a feeling he would see Isis as well as the other woman again. He hoped that it would not be too soon, and so, he had he reasons for rushing back.
Making quick work of boarding the Gargent he sat down and thought on the events that had happened. First there were the midgets and then the two strange women he had encountered. Curiosity was calling to him to see what exactly was in the package that warranted such attention. However, his natural resolve allowed him to ignore the want to look inside.
As he continued on his trip back home he thought about other things. He knew he had strength in his fists, but, when he gripped his right hand it almost felt like something was missing. Maybe he had once wielded a weapon of some kind. He did not know, and it bugged him, maybe, when he had some time to himself he would go to a weapon’s smith and see if one of them felt right.
The next thing he knew the Gargent had stopped momentarily and, looking around, he saw that he had already arrived back in Alexandria. He stood up and, after stroking the Gargent, stepped out off the basket and onto the platform. He turned to the creature that had transported him and nodded before a brief, “Thank you.”
Turning around he made his way up to the main part of the castle. He knew he had to find Queen Garnet, and give back the parcel. A part of him felt like he had failed the Queen, but he knew she would rather have it not delivered than have it fall into the wrong hands. So, with these thoughts in mind he rushed forward.
Finally making his way to the throne room he stopped for a moment at the large double doors. He looked at the two guards that were standing watch and gave them both a brief nod before entering the room. When he had done so he walked forward and stood there as still as a statue waiting for Queen Garnet.

Quickly Queen Garnet made her way down the stairs and towards you, she was dressed in her white gown and crown of Alexandria. She smiled as she approached you.
"Ah Ryun I wasn't expecting you back so soon.."
As the young Queen took a step back to take you all in her face changed, she noticed something was slightly off with you. She reached out to you and placed her small hand onto your arm.

Ryun turned his head when he heard Garnet speak. He did not want to trouble her with such matters, his care and concern for her wellbeing was strongly struggling with the fact he knew he had to tell her. However, all of his personal feelings aside, he knew this was something she must know, maybe even know she want to.
When she asked what was wrong and he seemed trouble he did not speak for a moment or two, gathering his thoughts and trying to find the right words to speak, “Doctor Tot was not there, and, in his place was an imposter who I later found out was a witch whom, from someone I believe to be trustworthy, was one of the witches who attacked the castle the night your mother died.”
He took a deep breath and realised if he left it like this it might seem much worse than it is, “However, from what I could gather there is a good chance Doctor Tot was already on his way to Alexandria before I left to meet him…” He held out his hand and opened it revealing the package, “The witch seemed to be after this, but, I did not allow her to have it.”
Looking at Queen Garnet he spoke once more, “If it is important, I suggest, for the time being, with your permission, I should hold onto it, I would not feel, sound of mind, knowing you had an item that a seemingly powerful magic user covets…” Suddenly curiosity got the better of him, “If I may, what exactly is in the package so many people wish to have?”

From the stairs that led into the throne room Captain Steiner and two of the guards you had trained with appeared. They walked over to you and stood in front you, Captain Steiner placed his hands on the book to take it.
"It's a book and....it must remain in my possession until such time I can see Doctor Tot in person once again."
Queen Garnet nodded her head to Captain Steiner and he took the book from you before handing it directly to the young Queen. With that done the two guards left the room and Steiner stood beside the Queen. She traced her fingertips over the package before looking back to you.
"Thank you for trying Ryun and that you kept it safe from those who would use it for anything other than good. You may return to your duties now...."
