Jake finally reached the Phoenix Headquarters earlier than expected. Mentioning to the guards to let him in, he was welcomed by the his majesty himself, Lord Kyles. Jake quickly vowed down and said "Nothing new at the front lines. Seems like the enemy is still planning.". The lord considered the news and said "You have done thy clan a great task, Jake Moonshine. But I'm afraid that I still have a mission for you." Jake looked up at the lord, stunned. Jake had been away from home for many seasons and was tired. Knowing he couldn't refuse, he said "Name the task and I shall do it." The Lord grinned in a way that only fortold mischief. Lord Kyles was the fourth son of the now-dead Lord Harold. The other sons would have been crowned lord but somehow they died in 'accidents'. Jake never liked Lord Kyles, but it was he that took him and other orphaned boys in and trained them to becoming part of the Phoenix clan's archers. Snickering, Lord Kyles said "You must disguise yourself as a Kirin knight and sabotage their operations from within." Jake let his mouth hang open. Of all of Lord Kyles's ridiculuos schemes, this by far was the most idiototic plan ever. The Kirin knights were trained horseback fighters who were trained since they were still crying for food as babies. Jake was only a mere archer with little horse-riding experience and even littler sword skill. Sighing, he said "I accept the mission" and walked away.
