"Yes, you are right. We should pull the chairs together." Walker stood and Midnight stayed by his side. She was worried that he would fall because he was obviously still worn out. However, she had felt the exhaustion that Su had even though she was pushing herself to stay awake now.


    "Stay there. I will do it. I am one of the few that didn''t have to do much work. I can handle moving a chair or two." King Rorick flexed his muscles as a joke to let Walker know he was fine. It was nice having the moreid back king there so that Walker could keep himself steady. Not many rulers would rx in such a way and rule freely like Rorick. "I would say that your little trip took a big toll. But your face says that there is more that came back with you than just some sunburn."


    Since Walker had not seen his own face, he had not realized what he looked like. He did not notice the sunburn on his face and arms or even the fact that there was still sand in his hair somehow. Even more, he had not fully put his cloak and armor back on from the desert. His adrenalin had kept him warm and right now he was too tired to realize he was getting cold because the window was shattered still.


    Before anyone else could walk in e took a towel and some water out of his inventory. He started to wipe away his face and slick his hair to the side. "That looks a bit better. I doubt anyone will fault you though. It''s better to look like you came from a battle than a party after something like this." While Walker didn''t want to look bad, he did understand what Rorick meant. There was no way people would be able to fault him since he had just battled it out with greed.


    "Alma?" Seeing that Alma was walking in with the queen made Walker very shocked. He thought that she would be unconscious for some time.


    "You''re alright. That''s good. We dragged you to Scy who said she would be using a mastery skill and we didn''t know if everything would be alright." It was like a weight had just fallen from Alma''s shoulders. She had yet to actually see that Walker was alright as well. "Su was awake when I left too. She went right to the cathedral and I think they needed her."


    "I would have bet all the gold I have on that." He had a slight smirk. How would Su ever leave the cathedral alone? At this point, she was an unofficial member, let alone a healer. "Can I guess that Gil also managed to track you down?" By the look on Alma''s face, Walker knew that Gil had found Alma faster than anyone else. "That''s good. I''m sure you were worried about him…sorry about passing out and not leaving water. That was my fault." Walker was nning to apologize to Su too when he saw her. He felt that it had been his biggest downfall while in the desert for such a short time.


    "No, you were learning what we needed and it was worth the risk. We made it to Scy safely. We can stand by you even when you can''t stand yourself." There were quick looks from the queen and Rorick. They both knew that they were witnessing a very powerful future bind between the humans and elves. It was history in the making that meant more than any other.


    "I am sorry for my tardiness. I was a little ill after waking up." King August walked in and saw the way the room now looked. He had been very fuzzy when he had woken up and guards had helped her to a private room. "I seem to remember a table being here…"


    "You''re right about that. It was a pretty nice one too but unfortunately, it is now firewood." King Rorick kicked a piece to the edge of the room before sitting back down again.


    "No, we will have it rebuilt. I have seen tables and chairs broken then built back with metals. They show that even when broken things can rise up again." King August had seen work like this in pottery and found the meaning behind it deeper than one could say. The others nodded epting this since it could symbolize their stable future.


    "I apologize for beingte. I needed to clean myself up." Scy came in slower than usual. She had changed robes and was not very steady on her feet. But that wasn''t an issue, king Rorick seemed to already know that Scy would be weak which made Walker wonder if she had sent a guard to speak with him.


    "We do not have the merfolk representative yet and the king of the deep is on the way. Let''s sit and we should be prepared by the time he arrives." The elf queen pushed them to sit so that they could speak. The only ones that didn''t do so were Onyx and Midnight who seemed the most awake out of all of them.


    All eyes had focused on Walker, they were expecting him to have all the answers that they needed. "Thanks to the guidance of the forest elves we were able to look back in history to find that greed had once been sealed away. Due to this we went to that ce and learned quite a bit. The location has a lot more that goes with it but for now, we will focus on this tablet which used to hold the natural sealing arts I used." Walker held back some information for safety. He was not going to be exining the details behind the sealing arts carving.
