[IC] Enchanted forest (all ready now!)

[Shadow Dragon]

He bows slightly to them. "Good morning Elvin warriors. How are you this fine day?"

[underworldqueen]

Keletyr and Keyrie stop when someone greets them. "good Morning" they say in unison. they didn't bow to the person. "we are fine" Keyrie said to him. "Who are you?" Keletyr asked the guy

[Shadow Dragon]

He rises. "I am Jared Calmeer. What brings you to the market today?"

[underworldqueen]

"The Elven King sent us to represent him" Keletyr said to Jared. "So your a.." she says looking at him carefully "knight?" she made a face "well not a full knight" she added. "should you even be here?" she asked

[Shadow Dragon]

He shrugs. "I'm here with my queen, who appears to have run off on me. I'm on my last assessment before I'm officially knighted."

[underworldqueen]

Keyrie smiled "well your doing a poor job of watching her, if she has run off on you" she says

Keletyr rolled his eyes "i will never understand why humans have the process they do to have with knoghts" he says "excuse my sister lost her manner back in the woods" he says

[Shadow Dragon]

He laughs softly. "I don't understand the process either."

[unicorgi]

The queen appears from behind Jared(no teleportation she just simply had walked up without them noticing) “I see you’ve already met some people from the other kingdoms!” Does a small polite bow to the elves and the fairy “im queen Anaya” turns to Jared “I didn’t expect to find you in this part of the meeting, rather dark magic can be dealt with here”

[underworldqueen]

Keletyr and Keyrie bowed to the queen. "your majesty" they both said. Keletyr and Keyrie looked between the two of them then to the queen "so what exactly is this place and why are we here?" she asked

[unicorgi]

“The meeting? It’s the summer solstice meeting of the kingdoms within the enchanted forest, many people come here for many reasons, I’m here for political reasons”

[Shadow Dragon]

He ducks his head in shame. "I meant no ill will, my queen. I was merely trying to find a specific ruin for my blade, and a passing merchant advised me that I might find it here."

[underworldqueen]

"Runes" Keyrie said "you want Runes in your sword to make it more powerful?" she says in almost disgust. "you seek dark magic for this? you know that it will never be good, cursed you will be" she says

her brother listened "Elven metals are strong and blessed in magick" he says

[Shadow Dragon]

"Ah, but can your ruins heal with every injury you deal to your opponents? I think not."

[underworldqueen]

"we are born of magick" she says "we dont need to seek it out, we weld it from within us" Keyrie says

Keletyr looked at Jared. "dark magick will ruin your soul, slowly taking it away until your empty" he says "they dont tell you that, the dark ones, that deal in such dark magick" he says "are you willing to lose that? someone who wants to be an honorable knight?" he says

[Shadow Dragon]

He thinks for a bit. Was he willing to lose his soul to protect those he loved? He nods. "What is the worth of one life compared to the needs and lives of many?"

[unicorgi]

“But what if there were ways to compete that task without the need of losing your soul? Would the significantly more difficult task be worth it to avoid the uncertainty of the outcome of losing your soul? I’d you lost your soul you could cause more damage than help.”

[underworldqueen]

"there is other ways"Keyrie says " that doesn't involve losing your soul" she says to him "but if your so keen on losing it then by all means go the dark route" she looks at her brother, then walks away.

Keletyr watched his sister walk on. he looks at Jared. "why do you want to lose what you humans call humanity?" he says

[unicorgi]

pride is the weakness of these two i believe, but that's common for elves also their lack of ability to think about why and consider it from another persons point of view. Jared seems to have a similar tunnel vision, he didn't think about the other options or stop to consider them. letting a person wander around the festival and watch their interactions or lack thereof is such an effective way to learn about them

[Shadow Dragon]

He shakes his head slightly. "Because humanity is dead. It may have worked in the past, but now it has all warped and twisted into pride, shame, hunger, gluttony, wealth, and beggars. I merely want to find a way to make myself unbeatable, so that if anyone must be corrupted, at least let it be me, because it won't matter in the long run."

[unicorgi]

“I think the elf aarrior meant the other kind of humanity”
