A boy walked through the streets of Ylisse before being stopped by a group of bandits. "What do you got on you boy? You know a kid like you shouldn't be wandering the streets alone. We would usually take a kid your age to that alley over there and relieve you of your stuff. Today since I'm in a generous mood though, I'll let you keep your goods as long as you hand your money over." The leader of the group requested in a nice tone. The boy turned and looked up at the men, while searching for an escape route using his peripheral vision. "And if I scream?" The boy asked, making the bandit leader lean over and whisper in his ear. "We'll shut you up before the guards can hear your pathetic plea for help. Now we can keep prolonging it til I gut you like a pig, or we can get to business and we can all walk away from this as if we never met. So what's it going to be?" The leader asked, leaning away from the boy's ear before opening up his bag so the kid could toss his money in it. Nothing was going as planned, become the dragon and all these tough bandits would cower in fear but his cover would be blown. Get mugged and the only warrior that could get close enough to Naga, wouldn't be able to fund his journey. 

Either way, all hope of ridding this world from the plague that slowly consumes it will be gone. "Fine!!! You can have it but just know my friends won't be so happy to hear of this. By friends, I mean the Exalt and her younger brother Xavier, they will be wondering why I'm not at the speech. You said so yourself that it's abnormal for a child my age to be roaming about. I'm the prodigy mage Lefix that is suppose to accompany them on their journey, now it's time for you to hear my demands since I've already heard yours." Felix said in a demanding tone, not showing any signs of intimidation which instilled fear into the bandits' eyes. He let out a small yawn before opening his mouth once again,"I thank you guys for your understanding and patience. Now let's see what I want...ok, your bag hand it to me and scram." "But this is a month's worth of gold." "But this is a month's worth of gold. Not my problem, give it to me or be imprisoned for trying to mug a friend of the Exalt." Lefix ordered, placing his hand on the bandit leader's bag, expecting him to let go of it. "I admit you've got some balls, making me look like a bitch in front of my underlings. You better hope we don't see you outside the city gates because the Exalt won't save you out there. The bandit said, letting go of the bag before leaving with his crew.

[I]That went better than I had originally expected. Still, father would be disappointed that I had to resort to such tactics but it was for the sake of the world.[/I] The boy thought while rushing to his next destination. He was traveling with a ton of bags, that made him look like he was a young traveling merchant. After sometime, the castle was in eye's view. "State your business wanderer." The guard commanded, approaching the boy. "I come with supplies and request to join Lor...I mean Exalt Lucina's fight to defeat the evil dragon." Lefix replied. "You may proceed inside but your luggage will remain out here until your departure." The guard noted. He handed the bags over to the guard be heading to the courtyard.
