[color=silver]"By all means, Guardian Evana,"[/color] The Speaker turned to face the latest question, and it was brought to Atticus' attention that the Speaker always seemed to know the name of every Guardian he spoke to. He was curious as to how he could do that simple, yet amazing, trick. [color=silver]"I did allow you to ask questions."[/color] He paused for a moment to think over how to answer her before finally speaking. [color=silver]"Tell me, Evana," [/color]He began. [color=silver]"Would you risk the lives of multiple Guardians, many of whom may not even know whether their search will yield any results? Or one single Guardian who made the discovery and is willing to continue his search alone? Aaron was willing, and insisted, to travel alone to continue his search. He was as unsure about the discovery of such a weapon as you yourselves are."[/color]

He paused for a moment to let her think about his answer before continuing on to answer her other question. [color=silver]"In the event that you do find the weapon you are to immediately contact us here at the Tower. This Council"[/color] He motioned towards the others around the table with him. [color=silver]"Will be reconvened to deal with how to deal with the weapon. You six will not touch, or go near, the weapon in case it does have the ability to corrupt a Guardian's light."[/color] He looked from each of the Guardians he had gathered before returning to Evana. [color=silver]"You will fall back to a defensive position and protect the area from anyone that tries to take the weapon until a decision has been made on how to deal with it."[/color]

The Speaker took interest in Evana's addition of 'no matter the cost', but did not speak otherwise about it. [color=silver]"Now, enough time has been wasted,"[/color] Behind the Guardians the doors opened once again and the Tower's Shipwright entered into the room. [color=silver]"I was about to inform you about how you will be traveling, but I think I will allow the Tower's Shipwright the opportunity to inform you of your future travels."[/color]
