[h2] Jack, Castle Tepes[/h2]

Jack followed the others into the depths of Castle Tepes, admiring nearly everything. When the former torture chambers were noted, Jack became even more on-guard, eyeing every nook and alcove suspiciously. When they entered the Eye's chamber, Jack was awestruck. The giant gem was beautiful to behold, and Jack could almost feel the power radiating off of it. He knew this would be one of, if not the, most important mission he ever took part in. He thought to himself for a moment, then cleared his throat to gather the attention of those present, once it was appropriate to do so. He then bowed before saying "Seeing as how we are all highly-trained, deadly individuals, I have realized that the hardest, and arguably the most important job, will be to hold the guard position here, in the same chamber as the Eye. However, if things go exactly according to plan, the person positioned here will receive no chance to fight. This is why I would like to humbly volunteer myself as the guardian of this chamber, if only to ensure our most skilled and valuable fighters will be at the forefront, and able to completely participate in the coming battle." He bowed again, then stood and waited for replies.
