((Sorry for the delay guys and gals.))<br/><br/>The guards at the castle gates pointed Giselle to the Hero Gate first since they had already sent several heroes down.  "Her Highness wasn't prepared for this many arrivals at once Lady Do'Urden, and has requested that until the current crisis is avoided down below that we not allow anyone to see her just yet.  My apologies for this."  The dark elf woman merely shook her head before bowing respectfully before the two.  There was no need to apologize, and besides, her respect for this land's queen grew since she was more worried about her people than holding this meeting she had originally called for to gather the heroes before her, to judge whether or not they'd be able to handle the enormous task before them.  Without a word the woman ran back to the Gate just as the two guards parted ways for the two that were already there.  "Very well Edgar and Luminita, you may proceed, but watch yourselves down there."<br/><br/>"Edgar and Luminita huh?  It's a pleasure to meet you both.  My own name is Giselle Do'Urden.  Let us proceed together since strength in numbers will likely see us through this trial we now face."  The dark elf half breed said aloud, turning to the guards as they asked her the same question.  "I'm here to make sure as little life is lost as possible on our side while making sure these creatures do not gain the upper hand again.  I will not stand idly by while they manage to grow strong again from what I have heard of the last Crusades against them.  Better to destroy them now than risk more open bloodshed and war."  That got a surprise look or two for a few reasons, the most obvious being the color of her skin since even here Drow were hated, but the Queen had asked for this woman by name and it matched up on their list of heroes to watch out for.  "Well, what are you waiting on?  Let's move out!"<br/><br/>((Continue on the other thread I do believe.   ;D))
