Draden looks up at Gaia in awe at what he had just read. He almost immediately leaves before Gaia grabs his arm.

"Settle down Draden, you can't tell Fanter or the others. This is a mission from the guild and it says that it's for our eyes only!"

"Who handed this to you Gaia?" Draden said with a worried and impatient look on his face.

"Hermes." Gaia replied hesitantly.

"Figures it was him, I never really trusted him all that much to be honest."

Gaia stood in a sort of shock hearing what Draden had said about the orange eyed God. She had her reservations about a few Gods and Goddesses herself but Hermes was the one who she had felt to be quite boring. However, she would be lying if she said she wasn't curious as to why Hermes kept a single relatively hidden child behind him at all times.

"Look Draden, He was just the messenger. I highly doubt that there's any more to it than that."

"No, I have a feeling he was specifically chosen to hand us the envelope. I have more of a feeling that he has special trust with the guild. No, I am certain of it."

Gaia's face changed in a second. She had originally thought it was fun to speculate on the matter, but it turned into a real problem when she saw how serious Draden was at the moment. She knew that he was most likely going to tell the other children in order to aid against any trickery that he suspected of Hermes.

"This is outrageous Draden! You can speculate all you want about hidden intentions but if you don't have a shred of evidence to back it up…"

Gaia was angry yet excited at the same time. This wasn't really the type of excitement she was looking for, and she despised arguing with her children; especially Draden. She knew that they would eventually have to come to a medium, because if they didn't this argument would never end. As she was thinking of a way to end the argument Draden fired back in an almost yell.

"Evidence? This letter is evidence! This is a mission, a MAJOR mission. Do you expect me to believe that the guild handed this to Hermes in hopes that he was trustworthy enough to give it to us without the least bit of suspicion? He either already knows about our mission or he's in it big with the guild. How stupid does he think I am?"

"Take it easy Draden! You are getting worked up over something we don't have time to worry about. Whatever you think is going on doesn't matter right now. Fulfilling this mission is an utmost priority. You know how important guild mission are."

After Gaia spoke Draden looked at her speechless, only noises came out of his mouth that sounded as if he was trying to speak but he was to angry to get the words out. Then a knock came at the door, Draden quickly put everything back into the envelope and shoved it into his back pocket.

The door opened as three bodies entered the room. The first to enter was the second in command the beautiful Fanter. An elf exile that was shy and mainly used healing spells. But she wasn't reserved with only healing spells as she was level two and could perform some destruction magic.

Beside her was Chao, a human swordsman who specialized in a fighting style named "Wushu" which used the Dao as its main weapon. And beside him was the only level one in the group, a highly energetic thief by the name of Gord. He was husky; in fact his entire stature reminds people of a giant. However he could move around a lot faster contrary to what most people perceived of him.

"Excuse me, Gaia and Draden. We all heard what was going on and we were worried about you two." Fanter said softly.

"Yeah, I know you two love birds fight quite a bit, but this sounded pretty serious." Gord chimed in.

Before Gaia's cheeks could turn red she saw Draden's mouth open. She quickly went to cover it, but Draden quickly countered her and began to speak.

"A guild mission."

The entire party became stunned in silence after what they had heard. All of them knew how serious a mission from the guild was and now Draden knew what their next question was going to be.

"Why are only you and Gaia the only ones in here if it's a guild mission?" Chao said while the others were still trying to grasp what was going on.

"The letter says that it's for me and Gaia's eyes only. She had told me with the intentions of not informing any of you."

"Well, I regret that you informed us, do you realize the repercussions for telling us? You could destroy the entire familia."

"Think about it Chao, if anything were to happen to us people in Orario would eventually find out why which would led to speculation within the guild. And this mission was important enough for a goddess to go into the dungeon; they're not going to throw everything away. And assuming that the head of the guild knows me enough he would have predicted that I would tell you. If I had to guess and I'm good at guessing Hermes most likely had something to do with it as well."

"Back up there chief, what does Hermes have to do with this?" Gord said.

After Draden explained his theories the shocked party started staring at each other taking in what they could about Draden's theory. Chao and Fanter has accepted it while Gord was still skeptical about most of what was going on.

"Say all of us prepare to go that far down in the dungeon, what's stopping Hermes and his familia from getting rid of us and finding another familia all together."

"Firstly, we don't have a clue why we're the ones chosen, nor do we have an idea as to why we have to go to the twenty fifth floor. Secondly, there are plenty of familias stronger than us, it wouldn't make sense why we were the ones chosen if we could just be replaced with another familia. And lastly If Hermes familia were to make a move not only would I see it from a mile away I would make sure that all of Orario knows. He thinks he's smarter than me but he's not."

The familia looked at each other, then Fanter began to speak.

"Going through with this requires a lot of trust Draden. Trust that goes well beyond your heightened sense's and good judgment. Knowing you, you most likely looked at this as a good opportunity to test yourself."

"No." Draden said "To test our Familia."
