<span style="font-family: 'Georgia'">For a bunch of assassins they do seem to care a great deal of each other. Sybille listened when Shadow explained how strangers of various races were eventually accepted within their Clan. It didn't matter to them what your origins were, only who you are now. <br/>
<br/>
It kind of reminded her her sailing days. A pirate crew was sometimes kind of like a family...when greed didn't get in the way. For a brief moment Sybille had a sad look about her when reminiscing. <br/>
<br/>
Oh well, the sadness was gone when it was hard to ignore a blue horned monk with a erection that made most men shy away. Marek seemed like a such a wise man when she talked to him, but on sexual level he was still a bit on the awkward side. The thought made her giggle, although she didn't mean any disrespect by it.<br/>
<br/>
After a while everybody got out of the pool and got ready to see the father of Shadow and presumably the Clan leader. Their conversation went well, Shadow explained what the mission was and Marek and Sybille provided any information needed to support the rumors about this quest. However when the Clan leader decided that Elri should join them or they could kiss their partnership goodbye, Sybille was faced with a dilemma.<br/>
<br/>
Refuse the condition and loose working with a Shadowfang and possibly their resources and contacts on their travels? Or accept the condition and gain not 1 but 2 Shadowfang within their group...Sybille swallowed her pride and shook the leader's hand with a firm nod, <span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Agreed. We can use all the help we can get. And I understand the need to give your daughter the extra backup."</span> She said with a polite smile.<br/>
<br/>
She gave the Drow a brief look of reluctant acceptance before she walked away. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(147, 101, 184)">"I'm going to head back to our hut, prepare for the trip."</span> she said as she left the meeting.<br/>
<br/>
Back at the hut she was sitting on her bed, rubbing her face. She was having a migraine due to the whole situation. Why did she accept this quest? It was a suicide mission, everyone saw it so why did she accept it? Perhaps it was the old stories of her old tutor as a child that haunted her. How the Rod of Law was used in a war against the Chaos Queen, a Rod that banished a powerful demon lord to some other realm...If the Rod gets in the wrong hands then they were all doomed, that rift north of Numera was only the beginning.<br/>
<br/>
She had to see the pieces for herself. If they turned out fake then she could always drop the quest... </span>
