The King of Ellfall shifted in his throne. “What do you propose?” The old king asked. “The words you utter make our enemies sound nonperishable. You are one girl. Still in your youth, you are. It is true that you are my most loyal servant. You have been warning me of this heavy destruction for many days now. But do you know for certain what you are doing, and that you can do what needs to be done?”

“You, of all people, should know that I trust you more than most.” The king reassured.

The king gave a slow nod. “Than go. I will have the men you ask for ready for you shortly. I bid you farewell, Aspen.”
