Not only does he speak our tongue, but he knows his place as a mortal, and shows his courage by not displaying any fear. Yes, a proper candidate indeed."<br/><br/>The crowd quickly descends into approving comments, their murmurs echoing throughout the area. Blossom remains on her knees, but seems to be quite excited, judging by her squirming. The Queen gestures again, and the crowd silences. "Now, let us celebrate and party, and welcome our new candidate, so that he may be prepared for the Ceremony, beginning at dawn."
