Jioni's Job
Jioni had taken the job with great haste, there wasn't much he wouldn't have done to have gotten himself out of Helvatia and out of hot water. He still didn't see any wrong in what he had done, but that was neither here nor there and it wasn't his worry to try and convince others of that.
It wasn't until he'd started trailing the target of his assignment that he realized what he'd gotten himself into. He knew he'd be able to handle it, but it wasn't any less disturbing. He was glad he had such a loyal companion by his side, the sleeping Honedge known as Scathách sheathed on his left.
She preferred to sleep when she wasn't actively needed, and he didn't mind letting her. She awoke when she was required to and she sometimes perked up just for her own designs and that was enough for him. They'd made good time thanks to good information and what helpful allies he had left in his homeland. Although he felt that many were helpful simply because they didn't want to have to take this assignment.
He had never met or come across a fallen Knight, and he'd be lying if he said he wasn't a little intimidated. He wasn't sure what to expect, honestly. The only thing he did know was that death and ruin were what laid in his wake and that that was the fate that lie in wait for him were he not careful.
He'd even heard that somehow this madman had managed to rally others to his side, and therein lie the real danger. He had no idea how many people or Pokemon would be with him, and the numbers may very well be what spell his doom. Despite that, Jioni only knew one thing. With all that had been destroyed because of this demon, he could do nothing but stamp him out. He was a Knight himself and he took his duties seriously. Maybe he could even bring his fallen brother back into the fold. If not, however, he would grant him peace in eternal sleep.
Upon arriving at Trenly, he couldn't help but be stricken by the warmer temperature. He was definitely near Demosia. Hopefully this quest would push into Demosia proper, he worried of the reach of the nobles even so deep into the outskirts of his home. Scathach make metallic grunts of discomfort as she tried to rest, but her eye remained closed.
The village seemed peaceful and calm, but he couldn't help feel as if something was amiss. The sidelong glances and looks contributed to that, but they might just be reacting with wariness at the presence of a Knight so far from the center of the Kingdom.
When approached by the child he smiled and waved back at them and the small Bug that accompanied them. It had been sometime since he had seen a child so carefree.
Still, he was curious about the odd tension he felt from the village. He wasn't the most intuitive or perceptive person, but even he knew something was off. Maybe if he spoke to enough villagers he could gain an answer.
