<br/>Many years of preparation had brought the Kingdom of Mystoria to this point and time in the state of their World. Their Deity the Ancient One was feed strength by the worshipping acts done in the pleasure guilds located around the Kingdom. They had lasted many centuries obscured and hidden behind the Mist surely there had to be worthy nations out there that were worth trading with as another of these barbaric men had been found ..straggler he may have been. The threat still real in everyone hearts and minds.<br/><br/>Today in the inner chambers of the Council the Royal Family had gathered ...to discuss who would go on the journey of the First chosen task force. The debate on the why had already been solved. The room was quiet as they sat around the broken circle of tables ..Crescent moon shaped sections The Queen AlySandra located at the North ...be side her several of the oldest members in training . Carlito took the East side and Evelyna the West . The Priests of the Mist guardians of the Royal bloodline stood about the room watching .<br/><br/>The silence was broken by the Queen<strong>..." Radella has succeeded in the testing and came out the victor for the first chosen of the Truth Seekers ..the Light is indicating to head North and just over the Mountain Ridges and past the woods lays a nation of humanity based. It seems unclear though as the visions fade . "</strong>as she went silent again.<strong>" Whom do we send with her ?"  </strong><br/><br/>Carlito shifted as the queen was looking directly at him<strong>..." I would put up Bethonia from the Archarians as she has a limited ability of Animal Speech and specializes in the language of the falconhawk ..the bird could fly out and scout the ground area before them returning to help direct the way. They are like one and her skills as a Archer are admirable. "</strong>He sat back in the chair then and thought more on the issue.<br/><br/>Evelyna pondered things and then her elegant voice rang out into the room .<strong>" I would send Krandall from the Horsemen ..his sword and tactical abilities seem to be most proficient . I get a sense of increased awareness from him and a drive that is not always present in a man. Dedication he has shown and one of the later chosen by the Ancient One so his heart is not as cold of the blackness. He still shows an empathy and without a doubt would give his life willingly if need be to protect the Truth Seeker. " </strong><br/><br/>The Queen nodded ...closing her eyes as she leaned back in the chair listening then to the other members as they discussed the agreement of the two choices. Both applicants spoken of she knew as they had indeed done well to honor themselves int he eyes of the Mystorians. Then nodded her head and looked back over to Carlito ..<strong>" And with this party of three now ...the Truth Seeker Radella , Krandall the Horseman and Bethonia the Archarian ...whom else shall we send . "</strong>the room went quiet and all eyes looked to Carlito wondering which name he would speak out into the room.<br/><br/>Carlito closed his own eyes and rubbed at his forhead for he was debating on this one for many a weeks .<strong>" I am going to put forth Gunthur the Beastman. His gift of Animal Speech is more perfected and he has a pack of wolves that follow him everywhere. He has found 2 of the barbarians that have attempted to enter our realm and though has a brawn and roughness about him is not as socially secluded as some of the others. Has a bit more patience and seems to adapt to challenges easier. Never turned down a tough assignment and volunteers for more of the dangerous mission at hand. I put him forth unto the table. " </strong><br/><br/>Evelyna wrinkled her nose ...uggh the man was a brute ..with that snake like curls in his hair making a face. He smelled like them wolves that was fer sure. Aggressive he was indeed thinking of the last time she seen him in one of the Pleasure Guilds dominating and rough. Evelyna just preferred a woman's touch it seemed. Though the wolf pack did seem to have some merit . Thank the Ancient One she was not going the idea of being trapped with that man for months would ..as she pushed the thoughts out of her mind.<br/><br/>The Queen watched Evelyna amused by her reaction .. the younger ones of the Royal family all had cheered at the name Gunthur and were now talking about the wolfs and the small gifts that the man made out of animal parts for them ..necklaces and things it seemed . As she glanced over at the younger ones.<strong>" So this Gunthur has a childlike heart does he ...hidden in all that roughness . "</strong>they all laughed and clapped so it seemed the choice was made even if Evelyna seemed to disapprove of the man.<strong>"Very well then we have Four ..." </strong><br/><br/>Evelyna spoke up<strong>.." It seems not fair to the average citizen of our Kingdom ..already the ones mentioned have an honorary place amongst our culture. Those chosen in the fields of crafts and herbarians are overlooked when would they not be able to better see things that importing in from an alliance might be useful to our Kingdom. "</strong>as she looked about<strong>..." Maybe a random draw ..giving the people one or maybe even two spots ..moving it to a party of 5 or 6 that leaves to search out for a Kingdom worthy of an Alliance. " </strong><br/><br/>The room grew silent again as the words spoken were pondered. The younger ones seemed to like the idea as it gave all an opportunity to go forth . AlySandra debated it in her mind ..letting the others discuss how they could achieve such a thing . Finally after much time had passed and the room fell back to a silence. The Queen's voice cut through the room ..<strong>" By Random Draw then ...we shall add the voice and expertise of our people to the peace seeking party of missionaries being sent forth unto unknown lands. Let the people volunteer who wish to undertake such a journey ..and we shall decide later whether it be one or two names drawn from list. Evelyna this task will be yours to handle. Excluded from being able to put their name in the list is all Head Masters of the Guilds , the Priest of The Mists for they will not be shown to the outside world and all Royalty ...List already those chosen from the Truth Seekers , Horsemen , Archarians and Beastarians as they too will not be included in the Random drawl. Children are also excluded as are any in training to learn their chosen task . "</strong>sitting back after speaking this out and seeing how well pleased Evelyna was by the smile on her face. The woman did aide the Queen well in keeping the communications going.<br/><br/>The doors were then opened to the chambers of the room and food was brought in .. a few musicians playing flutes and string instruments entered playing a melodious tune as the royal family took part in a bit less structured conversation . The Queen would enjoy the activities and take in the delight of the others ..noting the concerned look on Carlito's face as they did have a Barbarian to contend with in the cellars of the Castle.<br/>
