<br/>Aryia stayed on her knees but her astonishment didn't lessen.<br/><br/>"Our true king !! You are him !! Your face is unmistakeable, we have been searching for you. Roseanna, the lanley of your armor is the one caught in a deep slumber she is not waking from. We misplaced your armor, we found a wax dummy in your stead ! We assumed Logan had you killed or imprisoned or exiled as your suspicions of him became more vocal"<br/><br/>Aryia looked to the other heros hoping they could work out more than she had<br/><br/>"I often representing Mispeak fought verbally with you often, or one that resembles you closely, too closely for me to think you are any other than him truely. We had different values of good and often locked horns politically, many a heated word was exchanged between us and often the court sick of our incessant squabbling over details"<br/><br/>She then motioned to the other heros<br/><br/>"These others were much more respectful of your title and position and are more your loyal subjects than what else the land has offered to my knowledge. I did not believe in you but you were my king I obeyed, their hearts be more purer than mine. Please my good king, guide and help we most definitely need, more than ever against logan's plotting and treachery I do indeed hope we can have your blessing or at least the lack of your wrath"<br/><br/>She then stood and looked at him in the eye but bobbed her head slightly before talking again<br/><br/>"I am blessed with my wits intact, but half of mistpeak's witches are now lanleys or magic feeders to armor that an elite group of Logan now has, the likes of witch Hero of Aurora and other heros nearby wear. The lanleys be babes without their magics for nor weapon or knowledge of swordskills they have. We can't manage to best such a elite group loyal to him as we are for the armor multiplies strength and speed and heals all wounds, twenty such men wearing versions of it is the force that repelled a large fraction of the horde, while the heros about you saw to more to specialized tasks.<br/><br/>They were the one's fighting while I talked our way into this mess. Please my good king do consider rewarding the other heros for they have lost their lands, their prized swords that be part of themselves, their titles, their privileges and honor all falsely taken when they should have been rewarded as almost kings themselves for the services they provided you ... if recall of them is hard for you at this time"<br/><br/>She then recited each of the accomplishments that the heros present had seen to and elaborated on the details of their predicament and knowledge as best she could ... hoping she wasn't trying the patience of the strange dragon-king.<br/><br/>"... then the captain of the guard spoke of a Corporal Stevens being one that could help us if we find ourselves in the keep, a place we thought was our only lead to your where-abouts"<br/><br/>She then fell back to her knees<br/><br/>"My king, I feel that I have foolishly given half of mistpeak's finest witches to be enslaved to feed this armour that now draps on Logan's loyal elite guard, they also have designs for a war machine of Ravus' design and working version many times more horrid than the weaponry we have seen before.<br/><br/>Proud witches now lanleys devoid of independence, weapons or survival skills, and worse we have insulted Akara by not knowing of their linking most intimate, without means for it to be managed in ways such as the bonded-owners can tollerate. We are in need of your guidance, and hope, if it pleases you, that you stay with us for being fractured and split as we were before led us to this state."<br/><br/>She then curtsied deeply..<br/><br/>"My liege, your return is the first of the good omens we have met in many moons, we your loyal subjects are at your command, this fine ship, the Fire's Grace is yours, alas, the only remendants of your legacy"<br/>
