After James finished his small talk with Prince Arron he excused himself to talk with the Kreshvi. He walked over with only his mage and a guard carrying a wooden box. He gave a small bow while his guard and mage kneeled down. James then stood up and said "Greeting great Ak-Sheh Rollo, I am King James Conrad the first of the Isles welcome to skyhaven." James then turn around and opened his wooden box. He took out a Longsword the longsword is very shiny and sharp almost untouched it has jewels in it's hilt and is perfect for a lord. James then turned around and said "Ak-Sheh Rollo a gift from me and the merchants of the southern islands. This longsword is made from the best blacksmith of the merchant lands and is now yours." He then bends onto one knee and offers it waiting to see what Ak-Sheh Rollo will do with it. This good either be a beginning of a friendship or his fatal end.

Meanwhile

Laurel Conrad looked over the vast ocean, see stood a top of the castle viewing her homeland with longing eyes. When was the last time she had visited? It has seemed like so long now.Luke walked to Laurel's Handmaiden in the courtyard who who had been looking after Mena, Zach and Harper playing a game. He sat next to her and asked where Laurel was and his guess was correct in the tower overlooking the sea longing for her home no doubt."You know not to disturb me here" Laurel muttered formally, turning to find her husband was the one to approach her. "I am sorry my love.. i did not know it was you that had come to accompany me." She said as formally and softly as she always talked. She turned back to the main land once again."It is fine my love." Luke said warmly but then frowned. "My love I know you wish to return home and should my father be granted the fame of become Lord Regent we'll be able to go visit him and your father." Luke smiled."Really?" Laurel span on her heel once again. A glint was in her eye is she smiled softly "I would love to show you the elephants, they are like walking carriages ten feet high and nigh indestructible" Her voice sounded happier already. She then looked to her husband "It is not that I don't like it here, I hope you don't feel that is what i mean. It is just, nothing can compare to my homeland"Luke smiled seeing his love being happy always brought joy to him he then continued "Even if he doesn't after he returns here to take hold of the kingdom again I'll gladly escort you to see your father maybe the children will want to come too." He nodded thinking how lucky he is to have her at his side."That would be wonderful, i am sure my father would be happy to arrange something with you" Laurel sighed, thinking about a separate subject "I hope the meeting goes well.. we need a leader in these times... and they are only getting darker.... I feel safer on this island right now then back home... despite missing it."Luke nods in agreement, he then pulls out a green gem Necklace and puts it on her. "This is one of the safest places in all of Elyren however should something terrible happen you can always takes the children to our allies in the south. They are old friends."Laurel smiled softly "Lets hope that day never comes" She mutters gently, kissing Luke then returning back to the wall she had been leaning on, continuing to look out over the sea. Waiting for what will happen in the future.Luke then came and put her arm around her as they stood looking at the sunset over the sea.
