A Borrowed Battle: Drake Pegasi Attack!

An Interesting Request:
Sitting in the guild master's office, Samarra Inari felt restless. She had been very glad that the guild has been getting so many new members, but having to deal with all the paperwork that the Magic Council requires for new members has had her stuck in the office for so long now.

''I wonder if I can go out on a job...that would definitely give me a much needed break from all this work. The Magic Council doesn't say anything about guild masters having to stay in their guild...I think I am going to do it. ''Samarra thinks to herself as she leaps up from her desk and heads upstairs to the guilds job board. There she spots a few of her guild members browsing the postings as well.

"Hello Kagami, Roji, how are you both doing today?" Samarra smiles and says as she approaches the two mages surveying the board. They seem to show some interest in a particular posting on the board.

"Very well Lady Inari, thanks for asking." Kagami politely says.

"Hey Lady Inari have you seen this job posting yet? A messenger just brought it in all the way from Joya. Seems odd don't you think?" Roji points out.

"Hmm not really. Sometimes job requests are transferred from guild to guild if their master's see fit... Looks like the Orion's Belt Guild got a request to hunt down a Drake Pegasi that's been flying around here. Guess they didn't want to make the journey all the way out here, so they are giving it to us." Samarra says and thinks to herself, ''Hmmm this could be the opportunity I've wanted to get out and stretch my legs a bit. I hear that Drake Pegasi are pretty hard to beat...but I wonder if it would be possible to complete this job without having to kill the creature...''

With a quick thought, Samarra interupts the two boys who have started discussing what she believes to be girls bust sizes, "Ahem boys, sorry for disrupting your important debate, but I was wondering if you were interested in taking this new job transfer that was given to us?"

"Well it would be fun to get a little action in and beat some monsters up, plus it would be nice to see that weapon that's offered as a reward..." Roji says as he points to the fine print under the payment section of the job post.

"Psh, like you have the skill to take on a Drake Pegasi Roji! We all know that my swordsmanship skills could easily beat out your pebble magic." Kagami retorts.

"Do you want to be buried underneath a pile of rocks?? Keep talking like that and I'll show you what true strength is." Roji says, as he subconsciously flexes his muscles.

Not wanting to start an argument between two of her newer members, Samarra quickly steps in and suggests an idea. "Now, now, both of your are exceptionally strong mages; there is no doubt about that. Which is why I was hoping that I could accompany you on this job to take out the Drake Pegasi. I've never gotten the chance to fight one up close, and I would love to see how intelligent they are. Would that be ok with you two?"

"You're asking us if you could join on a job? Well that seems strange...but I would be honored to be able to fight alongside you Lady Inari." Kagami replies, giving a slight bow, hinting to his background of being a royal guard.

"Yeah it'll be fun! I've been needing to save up some money...But just one thing... is it cool if we leave in the morning? I have a prior engagement with a beautiful girl, if you know what I mean." Roji says and he nudges a jealous Kagami with his elbow.

With a slight giggle, Samarra replies, "Of course that is ok Roji, it will give me time to read up on the data that is available for Drake Pegasi. We will set out first thing tomorrow morning! Best of luck with your girl Roji!" Samarra says as she walks back down the staircase to her office and waves to the boys behind her.
