Bellantha said once Serana had finished her introduction.  Her friend had delivered a really stirring speech, which brought a smile to her face.  She glanced over at Seranas siblings.  The other woman had a real handful there and Bellantha was happy that Serana was taking part in this event.  But still, what could Bellantha say that would not sound inadequate after that speech?<br/><br/>Bells uncle clapped a hand on the young woman armored should.  "You're going to be alright.  It's not as if you haven't been preparing for this." he said.  It was true.  Bellantha had been planning to volunteer ever since she had learned that the Lantern quest was going to be reinstated again this year.  She had cleaned up her armor, bought a new string for her bow, and new arrows.  Her backpack was kitted out with everything that she thought that she might need for days of journey to the crypt and back.<br/><br/>"When did she cut her hair?" Bellanthas aunt asked, still watching Serana step back.  "Ah, she had such lovely hair."  Unconsciously, Bellantha touched her own locks.  Her long red hair has been tied back into a braid.  She'd never even thought of cutting it and wondered if Serana was thinking more practically.<br/><br/>Bidding her aunt and uncle farewell, Bellantha stepped boldly through the crowd and approached the Mayor.  "I, Bellantha of Kassen, am a seeker of the flame." she said.  "Four years ago, I watched another group of Seekers set out to retrieve flames from the lantern that burns in Kassens Tomb.  I was too young to join them then, but I am of age to help restore the towns tradition.  Kassen gave his life for the safety of the town that my friends, family, and I call home.  It would seem to be a small thing to journey to his final resting place compared to his deeds but I will honor his sacrifice as the town has in years past.  I will bring back the flame as a reminder that our actions today will echo through the years to come."
