Falling in the Dark

Prelude
"Ehhhhh?" Richard moaned, his head stooping downward. He had just been assigned a mission to scour the entire western coast of Fiore because of a Dark Mage uprising, and the military hadn't enough soldiers to spare. "So, why send me?" Richard asked the question to his superior, that being Tina Amakusa.

"Well, it seems most of SENSHI are out and about, and you're the only one available." The superior officer replied to him. Richard groaned in frustration, took his assignment parchment, and left the room. He put his hand up in a very informal wave, before retreating his thumb and pinky. "If I don't get back within three days, send someone to find me, alright?" He told Tina as he closed the door.

"Now, let's get this thing started." Richard moaned, jumping into a nearby shadow. He traversed reality as fast as he could, and reached where he needed to within half an hour. "Well, that was fast..." Richard swayed slightly, "I'm a bit dizzy though." Richard found a nice, luscious green tree. He was dizzy, so he rested himself there, accidentally falling to sleep in the comfort.
