"Within the Evercourt truth is a many coloured creature given
to glamors Si'anelle," warned Ae'thenal knowing that her friend's open
and honest nature did leave her open to the many small cuts and wounds
gifted by those who served the Evercourt. Si'anelle was all that she
did see before her, a Noble Lady who did rule her household with a fair
hand and whose retinue would serve her with devotion until her life's
ending. Sharp tongues as barbed as any deamon's had passed comment that
her friend did have the makings of a good war captain in her. And this
was truth enough, despite the insult that did lie hidden within these
words, that did imply that Si'anelle did lack an Elven Noble Lady's
graces. However if it did come to a choice between her friend and the
Evercourt's intrigues Ae'thenal was glad Si'anelle did not possess the
doubtful qualities essential to survival within the Evercourt.
"Will you accompany me on a quest to seek out the great toad Ae'thenal?" Si'anelle did ask of her then.
"You do know I shall," replied Ae'thenal without hesitation for
all her misgivings. "Did I not swear to you as a child that I would go
with you to the very end of the World and face all dangers by your
side."
"Only we are no longer children Ae'thenal," Si'anelle did say
then with a sigh as her hand did come to rest on her sword hilt. "And
the dangers will not be creatures of our imagination."
With a smile Ae'thenal did rest her hands upon her friend's
shoulders, "And because we are no longer children we shall best the
dangers within the Great Forest of Avelorn Si'anelle."
Though in truth she did wonder why Si'anelle did wish to seek
out this great toad and it's peerless pearl. If the pearl could only be
claimed if it was to be gifted to another why would Si'anelle wish to
seek it? Then she did see the truth of her friend's intent. Si'anelle
did wish to gift the pearl to their Everqueen in proof that she was
worthy to be counted among the Maiden Guard. Well then, perhaps in this
there would be the ending of the matter. Either Si'anelle would be
chosen, or she would not in the aftermath of the giving of her gift.
Ae'thenal did only hope that her friend would accept the finality of
her Everqueen's decision if she was once again not chosen.
