Aryia strode in quickly, not quite running but her legs seemed to want to.<br/><br/><strong>"Your highness, disaster has occurred, we did indeed seek to cleanse your locale of hollow-men alas their numbers and strength were something we could not best."<br/></strong><br/>Aryia rummaged through her robes and produced the two vials.<br/><strong><br/>"These hollow-men are different, stronger, fiercer. Ravus believes a leader must exist to empower them so but I am not so sure. Proud champions are used to seeing all things without their ability to overcome. Stories are full of them being proved right and wrong. I fear they may be a new kind of evil that may not be disposed of with a single blow to an individual, lets pray I am wrong. I am not sure of the plans of the other two, none were keen to return to you without dealing with the matter properly. But well word of what is happening to me is more important than death. Poetic death for proud causes isn't as romanticized in my culture as it is others. After a cave collapse it was me that urged retreating, much to the others discust for this I accept full stances on. But we have not returned empty handed..."<br/></strong><br/>Aryia presented the two vials with captured the wisps to the kind.<br/><strong><br/>"My king, these hollow-men be so much stronger I fear that they are something else entirely, it may be the wisps have fathomed a way of combining with each other before raising the dead - thus infusing the dead bodies with strengths of many wisps perhaps something else has breathed more energy into each one. However I beg you please give one to your sages to study, the other please sent to mispeak to allow witches there to pry their secrets. Perhaps a weakness or a cause we can find, before more out-bursts of what we faced occur. If you wish to gather soldiers to contain the situation be sure to send them now. If they report back without success evacuating the town may be necessary. Perhaps my own frayed nerves has me over-exaggerating the situation. Perhaps Ravus' belief that a leader exists and killing it could solve the situation I don't know. But if things are as bad as I fear you have what best I could offer. "</strong><br/><br/>Aryia had turned about and noticed some were still present likely talking of plans for the reaver.<br/><strong><br/>"Perhaps the Reaver can wait in light of more immediate matters, either way my king, now these vials have been returned and you know of the situation as best I can recall, what is it you want of me? How can Mistpeak be of service at such a time?"<br/></strong>
