Sheer disappointment overshadowed the man's face as he continued to keep his distance so neither Mithos or Ranathia could see him. The man was hoping to come to agreement with Mithos, but now that they were at a disagreement meant he would have to try a whole another approach. He turned his attention away from Mithos and thought maybe he could persuade Ranathia to surrender herself into his custody. He took a step forward and made a few gestures toward Ranathia while talking in an attempt to persuade her to make a better decision than Mithos did. [b]"Ranathia."[/b] He paused for a moment as he tried to get her attention where he got a simple yes response from her lips. [b]"Surely you understand if you agree to my terms that Mithos will no longer be plagued with the problems that haunt him from a month ago. In fact, I will also help you to figure out the mysteries about who you are that you want to know. I'm sure you want to know why you're The Key and the reason you possess such a special object known as the Rune of Knowledge, correct?"[/b] He took a brief pause as he gave her a chance to answer before he would see if Mithos would interrupt if she agreed before he continued with what he was going to say.

[b]"If I agree to go with you as you requested, do I have your word that you will fix Mithos problems and restore the broken pillar from the loss of the Rune of Power? I know that rune in your hand is the Rune of Power, but I don't know where you got it. Though if it will help Mithos and clear him of all doubt and suspicion I may be inclined to your agreement. I am curious though, why do you need me that badly? You spoke The Key then you talked about having Mithos hand "the girl" meaning me over to you. What do you look to gain from having me in your captivity?"[/b] Ranathia said as she nodded at the man agreeing to his terms though before she came to her final decision she wanted to at least hear what he knew. She was sure that even Mithos probably wanted to know what was going on though she was a little worried that Mithos might try to intervene due to this person he spoke of who talked to him a moment ago. Strangely enough to Ranathia he didn't recognize that it was perhaps the spirit he was align with. if that was the case then perhaps going against the spirits might not provide decent odds for them.
