(OOC: sorry for the lack of posts. Schedule should clear up soon enough though.)<br/>The archmage sat in contemplation for a few minutes, obviously pondering the offer.  Not one to make a hasty decision, he let the silence drag on until he was absolutely certain.  "You say you wish to use my army to take over your world.  While I can understand the sentiment, I doubt my army alone would be enough to take over an entire planet, even with your powers.  However, if my plan works, we'll have no shortage of able bodied men and women to serve you.  So here's what I propose.  You accompany the princess, as you offered, and I shall give you the soldiers you seek to conquer your world once my plan is complete. Sound fair?"
