Red Felix is a rare expensive breed of a beast. It cost around 1 million or above to buy one. It is not an wild one but a beast used like a pet by the noble. It flame like red colour and soft fur make it value high. It is very a obedient beast with high intelligence. The noble show there power of luxury by having a Red Felix. The quest is about a Red Felix escaped during transporting it to the capital, Merlin Fortress.

Jim entered the Eralin forest. Arthur looked at the trees in the forest. It was a long time he had a walk in the forest. He just came along with Jim, how he do his quest. Arthur asked Jim, "Hey boy, how will you find it anyway." Jim think for a while and answered. "Red Felix are fire type beasts but there are no volcanic place in Eralin forest. It has only thick forest with huge trees and high hills. But it like water lilies very much, so it sometimes find often close to water bodies. And there is only one place in the forest with a lake. The middle part."

"Ah, that is correct. There is only one lake in the forest. The Blue Lake. In the middle section of the forest where mid rank beast are found. And what level are you now, Jim. " Arthur asked.

"E ranked." Jim replied.

" Um, not bad. Do you known, we cannot find it in the Blue Lake. Because it is a weak fire type and have no wild instinct. It will have hard time to find it's own food in the forest alone. That the difference between a wild and a tamed. And it mostly reached a cave in the middle layer of outer section." Arthur spoke to Jim. Jim nodded in a agreement to what his uncle said.

But there is a problem with how to find the Felix. Because there are so many cave to find it. The cave are habitats of a many wild beasts. It will become a problem for Jim to find it. Arthur smile and continue, "You can use tracking technique to follow it's track that I teach you."

Jim thought for a while and observe the surrounding. The place where the Felix escaped the wagon was covered in a burnt mark. In the quest bill, it was reported that the Felix escaped using a fire attribute attack. Due to the clear wheather during past few days. It was easy to track it.

Jim continue to trail the marks left behind by the Felix. They reached a Large Cave in the forest. The Felix footprint where left in the Mouth of the Cave. Arthur and Jim entered the Cave. "Ah, It's the Green Pearl Cave." Arthur said. Green Pearl Cave is cave in the middle layer of the outer section of the forest. People rarely entered this Cave. Because there is no necessary circumstances for a person to entered here. And beast also don't enter this place.

The Cave was filled with darkness. After walking through the cave for a while. They reached a area with wall that emit a ambient green light. They walked for a few hours. Arthur feels something unusual in the cave. He gets a feeling that something bad is coming. Suddenly a screeched came. They looked at the direction of the noise. It was a Red Felix. It has a collar at its neck.

Jim tried to catch it but it run further into the cave. They followed it. Jim takes a iron ball from his storage ring. He threw it to the beast. After hitting the beast, the ball turn into a cage while capturing the beast. Jim picked the cage. After capturing it they walk back to the entrance of the cave. Suddenly Arthur felt a killing intent from rear.

Arthur pushed Jim away from him. Suddenly a attack came from the rear. Jim looked in the direction. Arthur was wounded by the attack. A giant beast came from the shadow of the cave. "Jim run." Arthur shouted. Jim take the cage and run towards the exit. The beast has a emrald scale covering it's giant snake like body. Jim looked behind while running. There were purple light came from the direction where his Uncle fighting the beast.

Jim existed the cave. He was waiting for his uncle at the entrance of the cave. Jim didn't get frightened in his life like today when he see sight the of the gigantic beast. He then entered the entrance to save him uncle. But his Uncle came out of the cave with highly injured. Jim asked what happened in the cave.

His Uncle explained that the beast attack him with heavy energy blast and he was thrown away from by the impact of the blast. The beast runs towards him but was blocked by some unknown barrier in the cave. During this time he came out of the cave. His Uncle take a healing potion and drink it. The wounds disappeared as if there were nothing to began with.

"We got some trouble. " Said his uncle. His Uncle uses some standing position and said to Jim.  "Came to the guild, boy. " After that Arthur disappeared. Jim traveled towards the direction of guild.

When he reached guild, he could see Neon and Marshal with his Uncle. They were discussing something. Jim asked Neon what happened.
