Mages
A strange voice could be heard by all the mages in Altea, one only they can hear. A voice promising hope, voice promising change, compelling to seek the Witch of the Black Forest. A mesmerising, alluring voice, and so, many mages have began their journey towards the infamous Black Forest.
Paladins
There has been an unusual commotion lately, with the higher-ups looking far more nervous and twitchy. It all culminated in a direct order from the Inquisition for Paladins to gather in the capital's Grand Square. An Inquisitor gathering a small army was rather unnerving, even for the most seasoned Paladins. And so those who were called began their journey towards the Liria - the capital of Meldiniar.
Alicia
Alicia was one of the Paladins called to rally in Lidia. Both the girl and her father would be very surprised if she wasn't, after all, it was by Deliah's initiative that the march will happen. For the first time in her life, Alicia will face real danger. Though unlike the rest, she knows the severity of it. This was the beginning of the end of her luxurious lifestyle. Nevertheless, Alicia was confident - she was preparing for this all her life. After her maids perfected her hair and packed up her items, she set off in her personal carriage.
The journey was short and uneventful, though one of her maids did tell a good joke. Lidia was bustling with activity and paladins from all over Altea. There were even a few dwarven ones. Alicia has never seen a dwarf before, only read about them, becoming almost mesmerized by her own curiosity. Standing in the middle of a busy street, gawking at a dwarf surrounded by maids, while wearing paladin armor, she was quite a sight. Eventually, after a maid poked the girl with an elbow, she finally remember to continue onward.
As they reached the square, a large checkpoint was formed, with higher-up paladins checking the citizenship papers of anyone who enters - only the called paladins were allowed in. Alicia grabbed her papers from one the bags that her maids were carrying, but the officer just stopped her, with a rather large grin:
"You must be the Eternus' girl." The girl was rather surprised, this man was no one she knew, how could he know her?
"Excuse me? Do I know you?"
"Watch out for a young, clueless looking girl who is accompanied by maids. That's what this letter says."- The officer lifts up a piece of paper with her father's seal on it. "How rude!" - Alicia exclaimed, trying to process the meaning behind this. Meanwhile, the line behind grew began to grow.
"Well, this is a letter from your father, which instructs me to only allow YOU through, and give these letters to your maids."
"Your father did tell you that we cannot come with you, M'lady." - one of her maids stated, as they were handed out the mysterious letters. - "But you will not be able to care of yourself, Miss Alicia. "
"Of course I will! I watched you do it all the time. How hard can it be?" - her voice betrayed her false confidence. As her maids read their rather short letters, each of them containing her family's emblem. Their faces lit up with happiness, as one of them began reading it aloud.
"For all the care you provided for my daughter, I hereby grant you this crest which allows you to complete various transactions on my account. You are hereby given a year of rest to do whatever you want. Any items of Alicia you are currently carrying are yours to keep." - with each sentence, the girl's face sunk further and further into horror, and the officer was trying his hardest not to laugh. As her maids ran off cheerfully, with all her expensive clothes and vanity items, she was left to endure this journey with the basics, just like everyone else. And finally, the line started to move again, as the officer motioned her to move on, finally giving in and bursting into a wild laughter.
