He knew it wasnâ??t his place to speak up. He knew it wasnâ??t his fault that the Elvin King was hesitant towards lending them help. How could anyone have faith in knights that had failed in protecting the Queen Cecelia? But despite knowing that, Brand couldnâ??t help the slight deflate of his shoulders when they were led out of the throne room and towards where they met Arioch. Upon seeing her though, he was reminded that they werenâ??t fighting for the royals of the world. Not the races or the trust that they had lost. No, they were fighting for<b>lemonade</b>.<br/><br/>â?¦<br/><br/>No, wait.<br/><br/>The blonde had to remind himself that lemonade was what he craved at the moment, not what he should prioritize before the mission. But on second thought, the idea of having a hard, lemon flavored candy piece to suck on made his mouth watered. Maybe after they checked this strange place out and before they left Hieronidan, they could stop at a shop to buy some. Hopefully the others would be in a good enough mood to stop by to do some shoppingâ?¦ or maybe he should just throw their pack of supplies somewhere and hope that they would notice and they would all need to make a pit stop to pick up new suppliesâ??of which he could go get some of what he wanted. Who knows, maybe on the way to this tower that the other Elf spoke of, they would use up most of their supplies.<br/><br/>Determined one way or another, he cleared his throat and smiled brightly at Arioch.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">â??That might be a good idea.â?</span>he spoke up, opting to give his opinion at last.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">â??Perhaps itâ??ll give us leads to where a shard might be. It has been some time that weâ??ve felt their presence.â?</span>the blonde noted. Even as he spoke though, he was already heading towards the general direction that was towards the Seerâ??s maze, hoping that his companions were coming to the same conclusion that he was. If Valen or Altima decided that this wasnâ??t worth pursuing though, he would have to think of a different way to deplete their supplies before they left the kingdom. It wasnâ??t hard to take note where it was, since the beginning of the maze was marked with prayer stones and an abundant of plant growthsâ??more than the other places in comparison.<br/><br/>At the entrance, he poked at the statues that had been placed there as respect to the sky, suns and earth. Large bulks of leaf designs, roots, fire symbols and what he assumed to be clouds. They were so old, unattended to for some odd reasonâ??everyone seemed to avoid this areaâ??that the simple poke to the leaf statue caused the tip to break off.<br/><br/>Brand took a step away from it and placed his hands behind his back, taking on an innocent look that he had perfected since living with Ranis and all her breakable objects.
