Kyra could only sign and shake her head hearing why Torus was acting the way he was. Out of respect for her elder Kyra did not say anything to him, but she made a note to herself that she'd need to make sure Torus doesn't lead a conversation next time. The last thing she needs is for him to start playing mind games with potential allies out of distrust. Save that for complete strangers. At least the monk was able to tell Kyra what Leosin looked like. A black-haired half-elf wasn't much to go by, but it would help narrow things down if Kyra finds an elf by that description. Most elves she met were fair haired, so a black-haired one ought to stick out in her mind. After the monk had left Parum and Orchid had arrived. Seemed like as good of a time as any for Kyra to tell them her plans.

[color=pink]"One of the monks, who helped tend to the wounded during the attack, their master has vanished. They think the dragon cult has taken him prisoner. Chances are they have even more villagers prisoner... I hate to think what their purpose will be."[/color] Kyra grabbed the sling of her quiver tightly. She knew exactly what they may need prisoners for, and if they didn't hurry, there wouldn't be anything left of them. So Kyra spoke loudly and bowed her head to the three adventurers standing before her. [color=pink]"I know this may be sudden, and I can understand if you say no... But please! I need your help to defeat the Cult of the Dragon Queen! From what you all told me, what they're doing is bigger than just their attack on Greenest. They intend to bring Tiamat to our realm and spread chaos all over the world. Something this big is... My head is still spinning just trying to absorb it all. But no matter what, I must fight them. Not just for my people. But for the sake of our world. You all came to Greenest's aid and risked your life to save us."[/color]

Kyra looked at Torus, still a bit wary at his state of mind but hopefully nonetheless. [color=pink]"Torus, thanks to your wisdom and experience you've kept the people of Greenest calm in their darkest hours and ensured our survival with your actions, no matter how small they seemed."[/color] Then the priestess looked towards Orchid with a soft smile. [color=pink]"Orchid, your strength and determination has inspired the soldiers to fight even against impossible odds."[/color] Glancing towards Parum, Kyra's previous rage and anger had subsided, and she smiled gently towards the halfling. [color=pink]"Parum... I'm so sorry for the things I've said to you. Anger and fury had taken me yesterday, but if it weren't for your calming words and intelligent mind, I would have made a mistake I could never redeem myself for."[/color] Finally, Kyra looked towards the room where Brannor was resting. She laid her hand on the old oak, grasping the iron handle. [color=pink]"And Brannor... He was willing to make the ultimate sacrifice. Despite whatever bestial spirit that's within him, he has proven his honor, valor, and justice in the face of evil. And for that, Greenest cannot thank him enough. I cannot thank him enough. And... And it brings me great shame to have to ask you all to help me again. If it were possibly I'd like nothing more than to hold a celebration in honor for all your help. But Greenest needs time to heal, and we have a great and terrible enemy that needs to be stopped. So please, I, Kyra Shepard, Priestess of Chautea, on behalf of Greenest and everyone in Faerun, ask of you:"[/color]

Kyra looked at the tree standing before her. Determination was burning in her eyes, as did the rage of all those who died, and the need to protect more innocents from what's to come. [color=pink]"Will you join me on this quest?"[/color]
