Wander of Wonder/Chapter One

Chapter One is the first issue of the comic book series Wander of Wonder.

Transcript
A young Nix is seen running from a large rat-like creature. He trips and braces himself, only for him to hear an odd noise and turn around, revealing the rat has been stabbed by a knight. The knight's helmet is knocked off, revealing it to be a cat. The cat turns to Nix, who is staring in awe, and points in a random direction. Knowing what this means, Nix begins running away and it suddenly cuts to years later, with an older Nix running towards a castle. He stands outside of it as Jayna the firefly floats beside him. Nix jabs the air in front of him before grabbing his shoulder. Nix is seen entering the castle and walking around its halls, admiring everything in them. Nix bumps into someone and falls over. Jayna floats down to make sure he is okay while the knight who bumped into him walks off. The knight walks off. Nix points to the throne room. At the end of it, King Desmond is sitting in his throne doing the finger wave at them. Desmond looks to his left at his wife Roselyn, who is picking up grass from a plate and is about to eat some when she realizes Desmond called on her. Nix smiles, blissfully unaware of what he just said.
 * Nix: This is it Jayna! this is the day I become a knight!
 * Jayna: You know it takes a lot more than hoping to become a knight to actually become a knight, don't you?
 * Nix: I know. It also takes optimism!
 * Jayna: And actual training.
 * Nix: Hey, I'm great at fighting!
 * Jayna: You are? since when?
 * Nix: Always.
 * Jayna: Make a fist and punch.
 * Nix: Ow! jabbed too hard! hurt my arm!
 * Jayna: See? Not ready.
 * Nix: I am too! so I can't box, I probably won't need to when I'm a knight!
 * Jayna: "Probably."
 * Nix: You're mean...
 * Jayna: No, I’m being logical.
 * Nix: Your talks of no-nonsense and logic don't have a place in a world of monsters and magic. So, I’m right.
 * Jayna: You know what, fine.
 * Nix: This is the biggest place I've ever been...
 * Jayna: Well yeah, I'd imagine. It’s a castle.
 * Nix: It's a big castle!
 * Jayna: Have... have you never seen a castle before?
 * Nix: I lived in a burrow until I was six.
 * Jayna: Wait, you moved out of your parents' place when you were six?
 * Nix: Yeah. Didn’t you do the same?
 * Jayna: Yes, but that last year. When I became an adult.
 * Nix: You're seven?
 * Jayna: That's beside the point. What parents allow a six-year-old to wander the world? did they, like, kick you out or something?
 * Nix: Not exactly.
 * Jayna: Then explain.
 * Nix: Well, see, it was a--
 * Knight: Watch where you're going, kid.
 * Nix: Watch where I'm going? he bumped into me. Well, he’s a jerk.
 * Jayna: Indeed he was. So where were you?
 * Nix: You know, during that fall I realized something. I don't actually have to tell you this story. And I don't want to.
 * Jayna: Why?
 * Nix: Because I don't wanna.
 * Jayna: I don't it's--
 * Nix: No. Just no.
 * Jayna: Fine, fine. So where do we go to sign you up as a knight?
 * Nix: Well this letter I have says I need to talk to the king.
 * Jayna: The king? you said it yourself, this place is massive! how are we supposed to find the king here?
 * Nix: He's right there.
 * Desmond: Hello, little rabbit man.
 * Nix: My name is Nix.
 * Desmond: Uh... is that a name?
 * Nix: A real one?
 * Desmond: Yes.
 * Nix: No. A made-up one?
 * Desmond: No.
 * Nix: Yes.
 * Desmond: What?
 * Nix: Sorry, I'm very nervous.
 * Jayna: And very stupid.
 * Nix: Yeah, that too.
 * Desmond: Well, what do you want?
 * Nix: To be a knight.
 * Desmond: Hm... well, I find you incredibly charming and adorable but it's not just the king who has to agree. Right honey?
 * Roselyn: Desmond, why would you call attention to me? I'm self-conscious about the way I eat, you know that.
 * Desmond: Oh, Roselyn, shut up, everything you do makes you look beautiful. Now, did you hear what the fine young rabbit in front of us said?
 * Roselyn: Well, I suppose if you like him then I like him too.
 * Desmond: Wonderful! now young Nix, whose knight where you before you joined us?
 * Nix: Uh... what?
 * Desmond: You didn't serve anyone before us?
 * Nix: I didn't know that I had to do that.
 * Roselyn: Well, you at least received the proper training as a squire, didn't you?
 * Nix: A what? What’s a squire?
 * Jayna: Oh, by the holy mother...
 * Desmond: You haven't been a squire? you haven't been... the one thing you have to be before you become a knight.
 * Nix: Nope!
