In the hideout's wall, there was an organization chart, showing a list of officials with this information:
362Please respect copyright.PENANAQQNHJx1yzs

The recruit with feline traits was studying that chart for the one hundredth time, while he complained about the few provisions their superiors gave to them. They were no more than a troop of three, plus their leader, Noctis. But there only was food for two or three of them.
362Please respect copyright.PENANAfZR0m6zq9t
They did set themselves at a village near their first objective: The Wyynhaist College. Disguising as a group of traders from Jorhalt searching for a new market niche for their products. Unfortunately, those products did not include food, only a few precious metals and trinkets they moved all the way from Jorhalt.

Remembering all that was setting Albert, the feline recruit, in a very bad mood. That only went even worse when his companions entered the hideout. Those two were a couple of goofs that were constantly monkeyng around, they literally were chimpanzees.
362Please respect copyright.PENANAFvoR2kPhTW
The feline backed up, just to see the angry face of his boss. Well, not really, Noctis never takes off his armor. Including his L-type helmet, that is, a helmet specifically designed for lizard heads. The only thing that the recruit felt to percieve his boss's anger was the grumbling snort of his anger echoing with the helmet.

And he was not wrong, as the other two monkeys were late once again, and with empty hands.
362Please respect copyright.PENANADDJZRZtGKv
- Eh, boss. I know we are late, but, hehe. We have very good news. - One of the recruits said.
362Please respect copyright.PENANAGYx8gTbxFR
- We have taken down one of the objectives, sir. With this weapons it was easy as pie. - the second afirmed, while the first started thinking.
362Please respect copyright.PENANAurh19Jrvb8
- Don't tell me... - Noctis said sarcastically with his rude, sinister voice.
362Please respect copyright.PENANAIG0ivhMKbK
- Make mine a chocolate! - The first one screamed.
362Please respect copyright.PENANAVdZ1YikG7W
- Don't tell me you both ball of idiots... killed a dragon in plain sunlight... using our secret weapons. - The leader roared. - Did you both even heard when i asked especifically to hold the greatest of DISCRETIONS!!!???
362Please respect copyright.PENANALhryqAXtFl
- Ah, discretion, yeah boss we have a problem with that uh... What that word means?
362Please respect copyright.PENANAD8lagDmVos
Noctis was ultimately upset, but he needed to double check what happened.
362Please respect copyright.PENANAwQBASaqjpu
- So, tell me. Wich dragon of our list is now resting with Alkos?
362Please respect copyright.PENANAkPUWCpQPoS
- Uh... His name was Aenjarl.
362Please respect copyright.PENANAz0Bty1yvM6
- Aenjarl, uh? Are you sure it was not his father, Klenjarl?
362Please respect copyright.PENANAFAVqqPAD98
- No, I'm pretty sure we killed Aenjarl, we even bring his head with us, along with the other key parts as you said.
362Please respect copyright.PENANAWJyLb78Jq2
- Not the head. I said specifically. Do not bring back the head! You monkeyheads!... And it's the head of Aenjarl. The only son of this city's great mayor. And you bring his head to our place. Well, i was considering to give you both one more chance, but as i can see, i have no option but to do this. Eh, Kitty! - He said, quickly swapping the objective by the end, to give an equally quick order.

After a few minutes, Albert was doing his duty. He went towards the city hall with both chimps tied at their hands, feet and tails, and gagged.
362Please respect copyright.PENANAIDt54ndmee
That day, he saw his partners being devoured by a dragon. Just as his boss said, once the great mayor smelt the blood and saw the head, they instantly lost any right to a judgement. That marked the feline, but not his determination, precisely. By seeing that dragon crying sincere tears, the cat's head was now filled with doubts. So he chose to not return to the hideout until he doesn't solves them. He was not even thinking in appealing to the dragons, as he was guilty of that death, by association.

Back at the base, Noctis secretly checked the weapon they gave to him. He remembered the hunting night, more than two weeks ago.
362Please respect copyright.PENANA1ST3GLuaPP
That night, the superiors made clear two things for him: First, that he was wielding a draconical gift, one that will allow him to defeat any dragon. And second, that gift was not his property, but the Tongue's, so, as far as he was concerned, he and his subordinates were property of the Poisonous Tongue since then.
362Please respect copyright.PENANASf3DrTZZ4g
And, when he came back with his head held high, moving a prey as twice as big than him, they made another thing clear... He was not ready.
362Please respect copyright.PENANAI5IC1VMoNm
For that, they sent him to one of the easiest regions. Wyynhaist was the third most inhospitable region for dragons, and generally for every reptile, like him.
362Please respect copyright.PENANA3JYn0tTu0F
But he did not care. The only thing he wanted was to fight. He had no other motive, he was raised as a warrior, that was his only purpose in life. For that, when he grew and discovered that there was no war, he searched for any other enemy to fight. He found it in dragons.
362Please respect copyright.PENANAQl2ahjoQ5C
Deep in his heart, Noctis did not hate the dragons, in fact, he admired them. But he was not allowing himself to admit it, not even inwardly. He had to demonstrate his strength, he had to defeat every single enemy he found in his way to the glory that was only felt for the most worthy warriors.
362Please respect copyright.PENANA9i8xGvCiJO
Sometimes, just sometimes, he wondered what was the point of fighting. Then he remembered the words of his master, who raised and cared of him even more than his own father. His master used to say that life itself was a constant fight, and only the strongest would gain the right to live one more day.
362Please respect copyright.PENANAQrMYR0Rs3L
That was all the truth for him, a little lizard with no place in the world, with scales as dark as a moonless night. From his earliest childhood, he fought to survive, until finally, fighting became all that was in his life.
362Please respect copyright.PENANA3en0vaSZBC
So when he joined the Tongue, he believed that he finally found a new motive to fight, one that was bigger than himself, a greater enemy to defeat. He was determined to do whatever was necessary to win that battle.
362Please respect copyright.PENANAkSKHYCLwBq
ending his sentimental but manly introspective, Noctis realized that something, or, well, someone, was missing at the base.
362Please respect copyright.PENANAgAyD0OsLND
- Where the horns that cat is, now?
