Tap, tap, tap, Klein's boots rang out as he walked along the hard wood steps of the Sabertooth guild hall. He had just come back from the job board where he picked out what his next quest for fortune would be. He picked out a job that stated that there was a man hiding out in the city of Era after escaping a high security prison. It would be a relatively easy job, Klein figured, since according to the job description the man wasn't particularly dangerous. Klein went to go turn in the job for approval. The woman in charge that he handed it to said, "Be careful, i heard that the man that escaped that prison is a mage." "Ill keep that in mind, thanks." Klein said while walking away with the job approved. He walked to the lacrima teleportation room and inputed the coordinates for Era, the home of the magic council and the rune knights.

The ride was exausting and nausiating as always. Once there however, klein took in his surroundings. the city had hardly anyone stirring about since it was late at night. He wondered why the prisoner hadnt left town yet. Klein didnt understand why an escaped prisoner would want to stay in the same city as the rune knight HQ and the magic council was based. But he wasn't complaining. The lack of people in the open made it easier for the prisoner to hide without being recognized but it also made him easier to single out. Klein began walking around to find any clue of the prisoners whereabouts.

He search around the streets of Era where he saw no sign of him. He asked around a bit to see if anyone knew anything about where the prisoner was. Noone had any helpful information for him. This was getting a bit exhausting for Klein. He had been searching for hours without a trace. Klein figured that the man had probably left town already. He was walking through a labyrinth of alleys getting ready to go back to the guild and report that the job was a failure when he heard something. The sound of magic energy being channeled. Not a moment later Klein heard someone yell behind him, "Ice Make, Hammer!" Klein looked above him quickly to see a hammer of ice had materialized there. As Klein dove to the right the hammer came crashing down at where he was. He turned around to see a man, about thirty or so years old, standing there in a prison uniform.

"You.." The man said. "I know your trying to bring me in. I heard you asking around about me." The man was steaming in anger. "A maker mage eh? This will definely be interesting." Klein said confidently. "Sorry, but you've sent out a message that you think that you are above the law. Im here to put you back in your place. Both literally and metaphorically." The man proceeded to yell in anger, "Ice Make, Cannon!" An enormous cannon materialized in the prisoners hands. He fired at Klein quickly. Right before the shot left the barrel of the cannon Klein ran forward at the man and ducked down. The shot sailed right over his head. The man had no time to react as klein was right in front of him yelling, "White Dragon Palm!" Klein slammed his palm hard into the prisoner's chest. holy light erupted forth and knocked the man into the wall behind, making him drop his cannon in the process.

The man was in pain on the ground leaning against the wall as Klein towered over him. "Well that was certainly fun. But are you going to come with me quietly now? Or are you up for another round?" "No, please!" the man said urgently. "Ill come with you, but please just let me see my famility first. I havent seen my daughter in over two years. Im begging you!" "Hm. Well it's more than you deserve but as long as you dont try anything i see no harm in it." "Oh thank you so much!" the man said.

Klein walked with the prisoner back to his families house in Era, making sure that he didn't try some stupid escape. That explained why he hadnt left town. He wanted to see his family so badly that he broke out of prison. The man approached the front door of the house as klein watched in the distance. His wife looked so happy to see him and his daughter looked happy as well. Klein smiled warmly at the sight. The man came out a little while later and walked up to Klein. "Alright im ready to go now. Thank you so much for letting me see my family." Klein nodded and escorted the man back to the prison.
