Ura frowned as she read the letter. She had read many letters in her time translating them and could tell the writer was scared. If this was something the king's wizard couldn't handle, there was a good chance the assembled Heroes around her would be out classed also. Still the king had made a heart full request to prevent evil appearing in the world. This spoke to Ura deeply. Her kind was thought of as evil by many, and step by step she had done what she could to change this image, to stop her kin from being hated by so many. It seemed those steps had led her here - to this moment.<br/><br/>Ura had over 300 years of life and never had she been tasked with anything so dangerous.<br/>It might well be the last thing she did. There was a good chance that none of those attending will make it back from such a journey. Necromancers took pains to live forever, typically. Immortality was their calling and their path usually related to becoming undead themselves.<br/>Unfortunately they typically desired this to continue gaining powers over the living.<br/><br/>Undead. Gods Ura hated the undead. Demons can be bad, but the undead were worse. At least you can reason with demons and strike bargains with them, but not with the undead - they despised the living with a hatred not matched anywhere else. Still, what else would Ura do if she didn't accept this ? Continue to translate old texts for scholars ? Value ancient manuscripts for wills and inheritance and the likes like she has done for so many years already ? That didn't change history. But this mission might. With any luck if they do solve this problem Ura might be able to ask a boon from the king at some point later. With any luck if she handled it right and didn't ask too much, it could help her kindred minor demons be free of persecution from the Divine Knights.<br/><br/>Living in fear of them was a constant burden for Ura but at least the knights wouldn't follow her to this place. That fact settled Ura' decision.<br/><br/><strong>"My lord"</strong>Ura curtsied and lowered the hood of her robes before talking again<strong>"This is grave news indeed, but it is an honor to be welcomed at your court, even if the need is pressing. This land has been kinder to my kind than others that I have traveled and a lot of that was due to you, I will do anything to ensure it stays this way, or, as I hope, improves. My Lord, King Aemon, you have been a good king, better than any I know, and I am well read in other kingdoms natures.  I'll do it. I am ready to leave immediately. But we need a decent map, and I can't do it alone." </strong>Ura nodded to the king before smiling
