SQ 005: The Missing Panther
Setting:
Location: Alexandria Residence
Time: During the time skip
Response to: SQ 005: The Missing Panter
NPC In-Charge: The Head Butler, Balthazar
Aim: Find Cerberus the Black Panther

      It was a fine sunny day. And Rianne was grateful to have found a spare time to visit Ponomy City, to see her younger brother. It was a first after her busy schedule while training, and the first that the two of them would go out unsupervised. Everything had gone well and it was less stuffy without any guards tailing them. That was until they uncannily passed by the Training Order’s Office in Ponomy. There she somehow overheard a messenger inquired an officer, about sending a message to Antar, asking for assistance.

After a quick lunch with Yohann, she found herself lying to him. And instead of another fun filled afternoon wandering around Ponomy City with him, she was now faced with the giant gate of the Alexandria Mansion. Why she found herself right in front of the Alexandria mansion. That she doesn’t know. “Somehow I doubt Yohann will let this trip slide. I just hope he doesn’t piece it together soon enough...” Rianne muttered, while debating whether or not to call for the gatekeeper.

It made her worry if the person who sent the request would even let her in. Seeing as how she wasn’t dressed in her uniform, she could just pass off as a passerby. After all she did came here in Ponomy to wander. She did not anticipate to be caught up on a side quest. Hence she hadn’t really brought her weapon with her, or anything to signify that she was a Trainee of the Order. Well I didn’t really expected to come here… Nor do I even want to be recognized as a trainee in the first place... All that hard work on preparing and disguising gone to waste. she thought while keeping her rather short braided twin-tails in check. Well it’s better to be recognized here, than hanging around near the Fredeliz or Cruciane’s estate. That's the last place I want to be recognize right now.

OOTD

Philip nodded to thank the Head Butler silently for letting them in. After stepping inside the manor, he followed what Lucifer did and looked at the amazing fresco. The artist for sure had a lot of talent, but Aventurra's eyes focused solely on the fire coming out of the painted beast's mouth.

"Maybe the creatures really exist" he said with a blink in his eye. "How exciting it would be to discover how their bodies work!"

The young mage's excited remark was made as if vivisecting a dragon was no different to operating a frog. He blushed at his amateurish ideas, but kept observing the dragon's teeth.

"What's the plan then, Lucifer?" he said to avoid any unneeded discussions. "Anything you want us to know, Mister Balthazar?"

Balthazar looked at the onlookers as they marvel at the fresco. He is already used to people going in awe and wonder at the art above. It was a magnificent feat, if he recalls the history of this house it was the wife of the 3rd Head who commissioned this fresco as a tribute and to her father-in-law and her husband.

“Dragons are mysterious and honorable creatures.” Balthazar explained. “A Dragon cannot be tamed nor can be a slave since they’re free creatures. The one you’re seeing above is come from an old legend before the founding of this House and it is where the symbolic emblem of the Alexandria House was formed from.”

He smiled to the three youngsters. “But that tale will come for another time.” He said and clapped his hands twice. “Now you will please follow me for I will guide you to the gardens and explained to you why you’re here.”

Balthazar motioned them follow him and lead them to East wing of the house and lead them to the gardens. They passed the hall of portraits of the pass Heads, their wives and also some family portraits. As they walk, Balthazar explains a few things. “It’s good to know that the lot of you answered the request I sent. I don’t know how to explain to the young mistress that Cerberus is missing.” He started to explain. “He hasn’t come for his meal, which is odd and he was not answering the special whistle that mistress Kisara commissioned.”

In the middle of his explanation they were at the balcony that is the garden’s entrance within minutes. It wasn’t a long walk since Balthazar took them to a shorter route. “Here we are.” He stopped and said. “This is the entrance to the main gardens. It is a vast garden if I may add. As you see there is a small labyrinth or maze below. And over there to your far right is the gates that leads to Madame Selene’s Rose Garden,” He pointed out the green maze and the tall golden gate. “Cerberus frequents this place and especially the Rose Garden since it is the young mistress’ favorite spot to read or sketch or enjoy her tea.”

He looked at the three youngsters and said. “I will be leaving you his whistle and a spare key to the Rose Garden for which you have to return it.” Balthazar took out the silver whistle and a golden key from his pocket. “So any questions? If not I will leave you too it in finding master Cerberus. I will send someone to bring his meal, it may help you out to bait him. While I prepare your rooms for your stay.”

     Rianne's eyes darted from one portrait to another, as they walk past a hall of portraits. It gave her unease every time she caught glimpses of those golden amber eyes, paired up with an intimidating look. Red and gold, the colors of that person who can make Rianne mentally run away the opposite direction or stood frozen in place, whenever she faces those amber glares. But it wasn't time to pay heed on a person who was far away, and by no means could possibly be here. She focused listening to the butler as they arrived at the end of the hall.

Her eyes blinked a bit from the sunlight. Woah, this garden is huge and beautiful!!! Rianne was again at awe seeing the sight before them, as the butler began pointing out the details of the of garden and their quest. It made her long for her old home in Vetanom. It reminds me of Oppa Han's garden, minus the maze. Rianne internally giggled, remembering it was her fault why Johannes, had been forced to re-landscape his small maze in his vast garden. As little Rianne would often get lost in the maze, in the most untimely of times, most often just before meals and naps times. And it wasn't a child friendly maze either, since it was composed of exotic plants and herbs meant for decorations and some not meant consumption. Unlike the other areas of the garden.

"So technically, we will be looking for General Alexandria's missing dog?" Rianne questioned as she observed the layout of the magnificent garden before them. While trying to suppress the feeling of nostalgia, remembering memories brought back by seeing such a beautiful garden. Well it's not surprising if something get lost in this garden. It is quite big. But this garden is definitely safer than Oppa Hans'. Just exotic flowering and decorative plants.

Note:
Rianne doesn't know that Cerberus is a panther, since she didn't know the details of the quest that may have been posted on the office.

Philip nodded with disappointment when the Head Butler abandoned telling the story of the dragons.

"Will we really need the rooms? I hope we'll be finished yet tonight" he said with a slight note of pride.

He looked around not impressed by all the posh portraits nor rich decorations. Dragons, the secret of Alexandria house were the only thing that could inspire any emotions in him. Them and the maze Balthazar was presenting to the recruits at that very moment. Finally, a game that could nourish his mind - a labyrinth full of plants and herbs, and nobody knows what else. A labirynth like ones all the mythical heroes would go through.

"Lucifer, what's the plan again?" he asked in hope that a clear leader of their batch would be born that day. "And let's ensure we know our way back. Like in all the legends where they carried a long string or marked the trees."

"So technically, we will be looking for General Alexandria's missing dog?"

“Correction Rianne. We’re looking for Kisara’s prize pet black panther.” Lucifer said to the petite bluenette. He approached Balthazar to get the key and whistle. Once he got them, he looked around the garden and felt a huge nostalgic feeling of this place.

He claps his hands and rubs them firmly. “Well I think we should start at the maze first.” He said to his companions and looked down at the large maze from the entrance balcony. “We used to play hide and seek in the maze when my father brought me and Loki here while he does business with the 4th head before.” Lucifer explained. “Cerberus always joins in the game and sometimes pounces us without warning.”

Yeah those were good times back then. He thought and smile.

     Hearing Lucifer's response, Rianne tore her gaze from the garden. And looked up the the red head after he took the key and whistle, the butler had offered them. "A black panther huh...?" was Rianne's expressionless reply.

Although Rianne likes animals and enjoys playing with them. She wasn't fond of getting pounced on, by anything more than half her size. Whether it be animals or humans (with some exceptions). And definitely a panther is bigger than a wolf. Rianne lamented not bringing anything to defend herself. She internally sighed I guess, I'll just smack Cerberus with my satchel to defend myself if it decides to pounce on me...

Silva, Blanche and the pack... It was always fun playing with them... Rianne mentally smiled. Even though Oma Rina's blood would boil, after seeing a messy me after playing with them. The memories of the pets she had grown up with added to Rianne's nostalgia causing a small smile to appear on her blank face. Placing her hands behind her, and Rianne lightly sways her body side to side. "Well, this is going to be interesting."

I do hope Cerberus isn't like Noir.... Rianne thought. Remembering their wolf, that wasn't the most welcoming to strangers or guests wandering out of bounds. Oppa Nate did say wolves can be territorial... Are panthers the same...? She blurted out under her breathe "I do hope Cerberus is guest trained."

As soon as Lucifer confirmed their destination, Philip turned around and started walking downstairs to reach the maze.

"Why'd anybody want to keep a black panther? And really, let their kids play with such a beast?" he exclaimed his shock. "Now I'm not even surprised - this p e t had to get lost one day."

Aventurra started looking around after his first step outside of the building. He tried to spot any plants he hadn't yet learnt about, but also tired not to let the creature take him by surprise.

"I hope that you remember the maze well, Lucifer. And, by the way, how much will it take for us to go through it all if we don't split up? Which there is no chance would help, in my opinion." the whole search started to seem crazy to Philip. "And, Rianne, what do you think we can do after finding it? How would you catch a black panther without hurting it?"
