The rider looked at the king for some time before she spoke "It isn't a bad thing you see this as something bad but really it is an opportunity have you ever seen a forest burn when it does everything looks dead and gone but soon new things stronger things rise from what was once thought to be dead land and just like a burned forest new sprouts will grow and the tree and this nation will be stronger for it; it is the way of life old things whither and die or burn to the ground only to be replaced by new stronger things" The rider never looking away from the king

"But why us? We are but outcasts, some of us happening to be nobles." Krasnoye Plamya asks.

Ruby spits at the rider "the tree is bells child, even I a follower of Hera find it sacred. It's said if that tree dies Bel will leave human kind and all plants shall die. There will be no regrowth or life." turns to the king "I care not who my comrades are as long as we can get the mission done and protect the tree! Bel and Hera alike tresure it and I cannot allow it's distruction."

Marlo/ Huntress/ 17/ Female

Marlo bit her bottom lip as she listened to the king. Her face was cast in shadows not only from her hood but where she stood by a pillar. She had no idea why the king would be telling her this or anyone for that matter. She felt a shiver go up her spine when he spoke of the Eternal Darkness. She held her tongue, afraid that it would say something disrespectful and that this time it might not go unnoticed. She held her bow near the thick center and taped on the wood a bit making a small thudding noise. She barely noticed it as it gave her strength to hear the familiar sound so far from home.

Yin and Yang growl at ruby death in there eyes but as soon as the rider spoke they quieted down immediately she spoke to Ruby directly "Your an ignorant fool and apparently half deft the point is that it never really dies and when it is thought dead will come back stronger this is an opportunity for this nation to prove it's strength to prove it won't die like the forest when a fire sweeps threw"

Karia cut in, her voice curt. "The reason that a forest grows back better after a fire is because it's lifeforce never dies. The fire burns away the debris and the dead growth, and leaves the stronger sprouts alone, because green wood doesn't burn well. What I'm saying is that, if the flames had burnt some derelict part of the kingdom, all's the better. That's more space to build, and the local bandits gone. But the Tree.. It's the land's lifeforce. When you burn the whole forest down, sparing no leaf, it doesnt grow back. Same with the tree. Even I, who travel so much know that, witless."

"yes you seem to be" the rider said her tone calm and even there was no way she would let a band of ignorant fools get to her she found no point in arguing any further why get worked up over something so insignificant she though to herself all she cared about was herself and her Sylestia everyone else could eat crap and die for all she cared she just wanted to start this stupid quest so she could get away from stupid people she never really wanted to be here but Dark Star said it was a great opportunity and she trusted his judgment completely he spread his wings stretching them out anxious to get going even Yang who could lay around for hours was beginning to get restless Yin began chasing the neutrality around play fighting while they waited

Galrion of the Sapling / King / 80 / Male

The old tired man rubbed his forehead with his left hand. Dear Bel, what have happend? Some of them seems to be more fitting for a dungeon, locked away and forgotten, well most of them seems like fitting for it, moodswings like theirs will never be good, for humans or sylesties. "You were all chosen because you all are carrying the mark of Bel. Il be honest, it is above my understanding why people acting so insane as you all are would be chosen. However you are all the carriers of her mark. Therefor I can not object and have o turn to you. Those who holds the mark will save the kingdom, or destroy it, and with it the world" he said. He looked at them all in silence for a long time, just looking at them all with his tired eyesunder his bushy eyebrows. The fluffy white, massive beard and hair was beggining to thin out, age showing even more in his face, day by day. As the talkative Tidalwave spoke he looked down at the lightblue Aerdini. "I know my friend ... I know" he said in a low voice, his shaking hand petting the creature on his head. "The one talking to me is Named Tidalwave, he is a bit ... happy go lucky" he said after some hinking. As he heared his name Tidalwave raised his head looking at his master before giving up a happy sound shaking his head with his toung out, looking almost like a dog. Just moments later the talkative `short`, 1meter long, male flew straight to a Woman, her hair white as newly fallen snow, talking to his heart content he cirkled the woman. Not really letting her answer he simply layed to rest aound her shoulders happy with his pick. "I asume you chose to follow the young lady Tidalwave" he said looking at the male that happly answered with a songlike sound. Nodding he looked at Regina, a golden lioness with hornes and battlearmour aimed to harm her oponents. The normal sized 1.17 female looked at the gathering before yawning, showing her massive rasor sharp teeths before she layed down near the window, letting the sun heat her up. A small smile spread upon his lips as the female acted just like normally. She clearly had no intrest in this what so ever! If he would guess she would take whoever was left in the end.

Marlo/ Huntress/ 17/ Female

Marlo couldn't help but feel slightly jealous of the girl with the white hair. Her hair would almost be white if it wasn't so dirty. She reached her hand up conscientiously and rubbed at her hair. She wasn't too surprised to find a few leaves hiding in it. She hoped if she tried to look more like the others in here maybe she'd be noticed. She wished for the first time that she had washed, she hadn't expected to be here this long. She also had expected that she had been called here because she had been framed for a crime, she hadn't slept all night because of this reasoning. She yawned and tried to cover it. It echoed in her head and she tilted her face down hoping her hood would hide her blush. She hoped the king hadn't taken it as a disrespectful gesture.

Mermeltier was shocked by the animal. It lay across her shoulders like a scarf, and talked to her like a friend. "Thank you, Tildewave." She smiles. She pets the creatures body, fluffing his feathery wings. "I will take the best of care of him." Claradon rolls his eyes, not pleased by the new pet.

Krasnoye Plamya eyes the ny'vene in the back. He had never been on for large animals but that beast seemed to be just right for a hunter like himself. He pets Little Red whom was in his arms. The rabbit sniffs happily at the petting. Odin was not as happy and hide behind his master.
