It didn't make sense. The Grand Cathedral of Crocus was huge. Far bigger than most of the houses in the capital and that spoke volumes considering many of the people living in Crocus were rich. All the money spent on religious buildings was insane. Yet, Alejandro would be lying if they said they weren't impressed. The building was beautiful, draped and dazzled with gold and white. The sheer structure of the building was unlike anything they had ever seen. This wasn't the Wood-Elf's first time being here though. When they were younger their aunt would take them here every time she came to visit and stayed at the house. Unlike majority of the Celdrua house, she worshipped Illumin. Ale believed in the existence and power of the one known as the ultimate deity, but that wasn't the god they served. It was amazing what people had created in the name of Illumin.

The platoon that trekked behind Alejandro consisted of about fifteen men, all who were prepared to conquer the task at hand. There wasn't a doubt in the Stellan's mind that it would be easy, but a challenge is something they had to embrace. In fact, they were up for the challenges to come. As they marched towards the entrance of the Cathedral, the citizens outside watched. A few of the children watched in awe. All but their Lieutenant was geared in an almost excessive amount of armor. Alejandro liked it this way, it allowed them to maneuver freely, unbounded by the restraints of warrior gear that in some instances could result in death. As soon as the young knight opened the door, a hall of glory presented itself. This building was built for Illumin himself, felt like. Although there was hardly anybody within the confines of the space, the halls could fit hundreds of people easily.

The Celdruan didn't know what to expect upon entering the cathedral. They didn't know what to expect upon meeting the High priest. Captain Kyro told them that the Priest was known for being mean, but Alejandro was charming by nature. Perhaps the Priest was even in a good mood. With a hand to stop their platoon from moving forward beyond the door, Ale made their way to the priest who was at the alter reading the scriptures of Illumin. "My lord." Alejandro bowed. The priest looked up from his book. The green eyes belonging to the Stellan were met with darkened ones, ones that carried the weight of immeasurable responsibility. Not a word departed fro the priests lips. One second their eyes had met, the next their eyes had departed. The High Priest returned to his book, flipping pages until he returned to the end and snatched a paper from out of it.

Still, the priest kept his eyes glued to the book and simply handed the page to the Lieutenant. Alejandro was stuck for a brief moment. They weren't kidding when they said this priest was an ass hole, Alejandro would soon realize. Reluctantly, Alejandro gently took the paper and gave Herald a fake smile. Not that he could see it anyway. Alejandro gave him another bow before turning to return to their people. The paper read a few things. It was a list of things the priest needed before traveling. "We have a list of things to gather for the High priest. Water bottles, clothes, a blanket, books and food. Pass the list around." Alejandro said before passing the dingy paper off to their comrades. What the young elf really wanted to say was far too unprofessional, so they kept those words safely tucked away in their mind. They were essentially glorified slaves.

If this was how the entire trip was going to be, the young elf didn't know how they would survive. Alas, there was no option but to get to work. The other Rune Knights broke away and began to scour the cathedral in search of the items listed, while Alejandro did the same. Finding the water bottles shouldn't be so hard. This building was huge though and could take them a bit of time considering they didn't know where a damn thing was. With a frustrated sigh, they got to work while Happy found a nice place to lay down for a bit. It was best that the exceed just took their time to rest, they may have gotten in the way. Ale made their way upstairs to the second floor and searched the inventory room. There they found canned goods and water, everything the High Priest Herald could ever want. On the side was a bag.

Without wasting another moment they began to fill the plastic with a variety of foods. The list didn't have anything specific so Herald would get whatever the hell was given to him. Alejandro couldn't help but to snack on some goodies before they left. Nobody would notice they thought. Nobody except for Happy. The Extalian creature could always tell when Alejandro had something to eat. When all was done, Alejandro made their way back down the stairs to meet the rest of their platoon. It took some time but one by one they all began to trickle in. These moments were the less exciting parts of the jobs they took, but if every job was this simple life would be a walk in the park. These moments were the moments that they enjoyed most, because fighting for your life was never a fun thing, at least not in Alejandro's eyes.

"We've gathered your things, Lord Herald. If there's nothing else, we should hit the road. It's early now but by the time we reach the North it'll be past sunset." Alejandro spoke confidently, almost mimicking their father. Above all else they wanted to be taken seriously so they attempted to make up for their youth. The last thing they needed was this priest thinking Alejandro to be a naive little boy who was given a job they couldn't handle. "Good, now bring them to the carriage outside. I'll be out shortly." Herald demanded. Alejandro nodded before returning to their posse and commanded them to carry the items to the carriage. Alejandro did as they were told, but they couldn't help but to glance back as Herald did whatever it was that he needed to do. None of the Runes had gathered any item that seemed to be important, perhaps that was what Herald needed to do.

Such a tedious task, though in minutes they would finally be embarking on their journey. The Knights went back and forth, bringing items outside of the Cathedral and bringing them to the carriage where the High Priest would find himself in due time. The horses even seemed ready get a move on. They kicked their hooves and waited. It was like they could anticipate the adventure ahead of them. The Stellan Knight stopped beside them before gently caressing their brown coats. They were beautiful, albeit common creatures. In the wind their locks flew freely making them appear almost majestic. Lord Herald finally left the cathedral with an item covered in a brown fabric. The Knights readied their horses but the Lieutenant and Happy would be riding with the priest this morning. The Stellan's eyes wandered onto what was in Herald's hands, but they couldn't make out what it was. "It is a holy relic, Lieutenant."

Herald finally spoke once both Happy and Alejandro were inside the carriage with them. "Does this Holy Relic have a name?" Alejandro asked. Happy was just as intrigued. Herald scoffed. "All Holy Relics have names, boy." Alejandro twitched. They hated when people called them boy. "Mmm..." Alejandro hummed. "I'll tell you more about it when we start moving." Herald said coldly. He was mean, but he was just a man. There must have been much he had gone through to make him so coarse. Alejandro was indeed interesting in this mysterious relic and oddly enough he felt something coming from it. They knew once they sat beside it that it was a strong one imbued with some sort of magic. The elf simply nodded, intending to keep Herald to his promise. Everything was done, now all that was left was to get moving. "We should be reaching the North by nightfall. I know there's a specific route you want us to take?"

"Yes, yes. I gave it to the Coachman. I took the liberty to creating the safest route for us, so I don't think we'll be facing much trouble. Ilumin willing, we'll all get there in one piece." Alejandro nodded before pulling down the quarter light beside them. "Alright, let's go! Knights, allow the carriage to lead the way!" They said before the Coachman whipped the mobile to life. The journey had finally begun. It would be a long long road but at leas they had food and water, Ale thought. "You almost sound like you've done this before." The High priest said. It was common knowledge amongst the Knights that the young Celdrua was a newly inducted Knight, so it made sense that a client would know the same thing. It would be unprofessional for them to not have such details. Still, even if Herald didn't mean for it to be a compliment, Alejandro took it as so. The fact that they were simply winging this whole thing and had no prior training, yet still was able to just say and do what came to them and sound like a leader gave them a boost in confidence. Perhaps this new position wouldn't be as intimidating as they initially anticipated.
