All of the conversation in the room stopped as two large doors on the opposite side of the room all of the group entered through came open with a resounding bang. Through them came four men, all clad in identical steel armor, each of their identities hidden behind the helmets which clad their heads. Elden's eyes payed special attention to the group, as he knew the men underneath the armors, they were some of those of his fellow King's guard. They all walked in unison, like a marching band as the four then spread out with two on each side of the door as another figure entered the room, he was clad long fur tipped cloak over a beautiful blue and golden tunic, regal trousers and boots of the finest leather. A golden, jewel embedded crown sat on his long brown head of hair, a steel sword sheathed at his belt to show he was not a helpless royal, but a formidable warrior as well. It was the King, Ethan Tirius, who unlike many other nobles and royals from around the world was not fat and constantly drunk, but instead fit and watchful. Deep eyes of green scanned the room as he moved towards the table, his guards breaking off as he reached the seat at the head of table, near Elden who had exited his seat and was knelt down on one knee, as was customary when a king made his grand entrance, though Ethan did not expect the others to do the same as his entrance was of great surprise to them. He then sat down, and let out a breath, using one ring clad finger to brush the hair from his face. "I'd like to formerly welcome you all to my home, it pleases me greatly you all are here, my court mage informed me that you are the only ones that actually witnessed the Sounding, well besides myself, but I do not count when it comes to the next step." King Ethan said, his voice commanding and powerful, Elden still on one knee, which Ethan almost grinned at, motioning for the man to return to his seat. "The reason I gathered you all here is indeed because of the Sounding, you all saw it, an ominous sight which has greatly limited my sleep since it occurred. My idea with your assembly was to create a task force to properly investigate the troubling sight before it comes to fruition, as I fear it may if we do not act quickly enough," He said, his eyes glancing around the table as he spoke. "Your journey shall begin tomorrow, I must warn you that it very might be a dangerous one, if any of you are having second thoughts then you are free to leave now. Any questions should also be raised now." He added.
