The unlucky quest of Luck

Luck was so excited for today he was to be give a quest by King Julio himself. The young squire tossed and turned unable to will himself to sleep. A quest a real quest just like to ones Sir Tristan road of into the sunset on. He had spent 10 years of his life in service to Sir Duncan the aging captain of the guard. He had never so much as gone beyond the town of Holly. But now a real live quest he would be off saving maidens, slaying dragons and on day his story would be within the book of hero.

A low thud jarred Luck from his drams of heroism wrestling free of the cursed blanket the squire sprinted to the door. Fling the wood open the boy was greeted by the court messenger handing him a scroll and a small pouch the man departed. Tossing the pouch Luck unrolled his quest.

'To the young squire Luck I Julio Leon the sixths sacred king of the Leon Kingdom hears by give you a royal quest.

You are commanded to retrieve the white fire opal holy treasurer of Leon stolen from us centuries ago when the barbarian horde burnt our capital of Muse to ash.

I know I place great danger and responsibility upon one so young but I see a spark of greatness within you.

I give you a small boon of two hundred coins and what aid castle Muse can provide but you must start this quest alone.

My the gods show you favor young luck'

Lighting looked slow as Luck prepared himself brushing his soft blond curls washing the sleep from his blue eyes, counting the coins given to him. Slipping his leather armor over his slender body Luck suddenly stopped as he reached for his sword snapper. He had no clue as to where to start his quest.
