"We would have been dead if it were not for the intervention of an old ally" Valen spoke after the king did. The king would not ask how they survived, but Valen was not for leaving the monarch's question unanswered. It was important he knew just how dire the knight's situation was, how dire the world's situation was. Some of the races would turn them down, those who were willing to simply have the king rule over them instead of fight... Valen's face grew more grim "We have been making our way here during this time. The king's troops were hunting us, so we had to tread carefully" Valen scowled. The King's troops were actively hunting them down.<br/><br/>"The matter I have to discuss is very important... the continued safety and freedom of the known world." Valen was worried how the King would feel about what he had to say, to join them once they had their amulet and once they had collected armies from the other races. "King Vayne, from Lassadar has made his move, The Queen is the only woman who could stop him, and now she is dead... you can see the results of the events that have happened." Valen pointed up, gesturing to the moon that covered the sun that once gave the land it's needed light.<br/><br/>"We need the aid of your people, your kingdom if we want to defeat the King of Darkness, if we are to free Elzier from his grasp and protect the rest of the world, we need your help. The Elzier resistance is not enough to defeat the King's well trained army, we need all the help we can get" Valen lifted his hand, checking the wound on his back, the one gandrian had given to him right before he turned and killed the queen. "If we fail, or if we do nothing, the eclipse will be eternal, all life will slowly die, and the king will conquer all, everything. We need the assistance of the elves in resisting the King, to end this eclipse and free the world from his grasp!"<br/><br/>Valen knew they could win, he was willing to stake his life on it, he was willing to give up everything to save the world from the King's dark influence. Valen knew that Vayne would stop at nothing to obtain world conquest, he had said it himself before Valen was pulled through the window to freedom and life... Valen would have willingly fought all the foes in that room if he had to, but he couldn't. Valen knew that if the three knights and their companions united the world, and found the Amulet, they could win this battle against the darkness. Valen's eyes strengthened, new resolve coming over him when he again looked to the king, dropping to one knee before him and bowing his head slightly "Please, I beg you, aid us when the time comes"
