He looked up at the king, still bowing down. He let out a small gasp, and nodded.
"This sounds like a hard challenge, but I am not afraid to take it. I will accept Bel's gift, and hope to bring our land back to peace." He looked back up at the king, seriousness in his eyes. He started to think about his brother again, and how once Jace had told him his dream of becoming a knight.
"But, brother, if the king thought you to be a knight, wouldn't he have taken you to guard his castle by now?"
"Ha, who knows? I just hope that one day the king sees my swordsman ship, and chooses me as his knight. But, that would never happen, now will it?"
He struggled not to smile and laugh, knowing the tension in the room. He took a deep breath, all the urge to smile going away.

Krasnoye Plamya stands. He smiles this time the smile being one of joy. "I will gladly accept your proposal, and the Bel gift." He pets the bulbori he had on his arms. "My sylesties will give up their lives to help you, hopefully you will let them come. Atlast I am of noble birth but choose not to take the life of that so said noble, if this is wronge then you may punish me, but hear me through I chose this fate."

Mermeltier stands as well. She was hesitant to say if she wished to go or not. "I will accept as well if you of course will let me."

Ruby looks in thought, then nods "I will do so because I see it honoring to me and to my cause." she smiles, looking sorta smug, she approaches the king "sounds like fun really, breaking the rules to save the kingdom!"

Marlo/ Huntress/ 17/ Female

Marlo bowed deeply holding her bow away from her with the string still around her. "My life is not worth much my king, but what it is worth I give and humble accept the gift and mission at hand." She said keeping her head down. She was confused about how she could receive a gift from the king, she was merely a commoner, even less then that. She had no name to call her own.

the rider looked around the room this was the most she had spoken in years she wasn't sure if she liked this change but maybe she could get something out of it if the king need them this badly and to her this was the only way she wouldn't have to pretend and they wouldn't have to pretend

"Old man...I don't know if I am a noble or not all i know is that Dark Star has been with me since i can remember he saved my life and i intend to keep him,... Yin and Yang they don't know how to give up they put there whole heart into everything they do after the abuse they have seen they deserve to act however they want and as for Neutrality we found him alone and abandon as an egg he saved my life he is a great fighter and protector despite his young age and small size they are the best Sylestia that anyone could know and I do not intend to loose them ever....so if you wish me to be a champion i must get one guarantee that i will be allowed to keep all my Sylestia then and only then will i accept"

The Love that she felt for each of her Sylestia shown threw her eyes and became a light burning bright so bright it could only come from the deepest depth's of her soul and right then everyone knew this was her life her passion her love and that any Sylestia that was her's would live the life that some only dreamed of with true love and true caring and the way she spoke.

She spoke with power the kind of power that only comes from words spoken strait from the heart and they fit well with the natural seductiveness of her voice drawing you in and making everything she said speak in it's own right she had the voice of a leader, a hero, a thief, a commoner and she spoke with an intensity that made everyone in the room look and listen this is the first time she had ever really spoken with her true voice and she had a feeling this probably wouldn't be the last

Karia bowed,
"I will accept this gift. After all," she smiled a small smile "what choice do I-we have? I've been through dangers, what worse things can happen that what I have experienced? I cannot imagine. So, for honor's sake, this quest I shall accept.

The rider puts Neutrality in Dark Star's saddle bag

"What say you old man" the rider said from atop her Qitari her Sylestia waiting and ready to fight or run should he say no to her deal

Galrion of the Sapling / King / 80 / Male

The elderly man looked at them all. They all genuinly surpriced him, every single one of the youngsters seemes up to the task, some even eager to get going with it. However some of them still made him worried. "Before I tell you all about the mission I have to ask you all, do you all know abut Eternal Darkness?" he asked. The old man shugging in genuin fear. How long had it been since he had felt genuin fear? Probably 70years ago, yes that is probably the last time he was actually scared. He remembered it clearly, his cousin standing over him with a raised sword. He had barley realiced what he had done, mere moments later he was the one standing ver his older cousin, his own dagger coated in scarlet and the dead lord on the ground. Shaking he screamed as he had realiced that he had cut the throat of his cousin. Shaking the dead body he had screamed his name, trying to get a response wich he failed at. A gentle and worried sound brought him back to the pressence. Looking at the lightblue and lightgreen Aeridini who is talking to him he smiled a bit patting him on the fairly small head. Tidalwave is after all mearly 1meter, almost 20cm smaller than most Aeridnis. "Im fine" he answered the talkative male that answered with a songlike sound happily making a cirkle in the air before talking a bit more to the old man. "No I wont let you go with just anyone" he promissed. Happy with the answer the male landade on the ground, resting his head in the old mans lap. Gently the old man, once a proud warrior strok him over his head. All of his sylesties are extremly lojal towards him, beeing treated with love and kindness as well as respect they do as he tells them, trusting him to guide them so that they can live to see a other day. Looking to his sides he saw them all staring back at him, waiting, hoping, trusting. The looks made his old heart warm and nice, knowing that they still trusted him enough to go through hell and back if he asked made him happy. It made him feel as if he still had controll, as if he still is in his glorydays.

Alex / / 17 / Male

Alex nodded.
"I think. Isn't it the force that tried to burn down the great oak?" He heard of the evil force that had came to the celebration and tried to burn down the oak.
Is that the Eternal Darkness? If not, he has to say he had never heard of anything like that, but would fight it if that was his mission.
He looked around, and sighed. He looked back at the king, showing and expression of bravery and stubbornness, showing that he would promis to do what ever the king asked him to do, no matter if it would lead him to death or to destroy the world. He would never back down from any challange.

The rider had heard of the Darkness but it mattered little to her in truth it gave a great distraction to her work which more than anything pissed her off Dark Star figitted underneath her suddenly talkative and far more animated than normal making a series of whinnys and snorts and throwing his head up in down like he did when there was danger nearby or when he sensed danger if just the mention of this darkness was enough to set him off then she it was something she had to destroy if not for herself then for them she spoke calmly in his ear "it's ok" two words and he was instantaneously calm he trusted her with his life as did she the trust and love they felt radiated from them like a beacon in the darkness in that moment it was apparent that her Sylestia trusted her almost as much as the kings trusted him
