<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua'"><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#a64dff"><i>The Oberon listened closely as Toby detailed their time within the Breen. Even the Fae seemed to understand Toby even though he spoke normally, likely thanks to the magic of the Oberon. Her face betrayed no thought or emotion as he spoke, simply listening to every word he spoke before she looked towards Vermillion and spoke again.</i></span><br/>
<br/>
"<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffa64d">It seems you have had a long and troubled time here within the Breen and I apologize for all the Fae. When humans come to our land we try to celebrate the joining of our worlds and do much to make your time here as pleasureful as possible. However, it seems the Undying one has used your arrival here and much like he does with everything he touches, he has corrupted it too.</span>"<br/>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#a64dff"><br/>
<i>She paused, seeming to think a moment while she ran her fingers over the staff in her hand. The sounds of the fire outside were growing close and the Fae around them were beginning to move away from the entrance in fear of what laid outside.</i></span><br/>
<br/>
"<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffa64d">I would normally simply open a doorway here for you to return to your land, however as I am sure you can understand, doing so now would only endanger my people and your own land. I cannot focus any of my magic on anything other than the Undying one, and opening a portal would only allow his corruption to spread to your own lands and time. And I feel I owe you an explanation for why you have been brought into this conflict I do not have the time to detail the history between the Fae and the Undying one. However I will not involve you in this confict any longer.</span>" <br/>
<br/>
<i><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#a64dff">The Oberon finished as she stood up, her eyes as well as the eyes of Vermillion focused on the doorway as something seemed to stir on the other side of the sacred flames.</span></i><br/>
<br/>
"<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffa64d">Neit, please take your companions to the top of the tree. It is the only place that is safe. And just remember the laws of this land when you arrive at the top. Do not let what you find at the top tempt you like it the one who walked up those steps before you. I will come and collect you whenever this is all finished.</span>" <i><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#a64dff">She spoke, though for the first time since she began speaking her final words did not seem as sure as the others. Regardless, Neit would pull on Toby's pant leg and point towards the massive door behind the throne, trying to urge him and the others to flee up the tree, though he could not force them up and away. </span></i><br/>
