[color=gray]The Emperor spoke straight to the point, refusing to sweeten his words to the still growing crowd. First, another Fae appeared, then an Elvkiin and some more humans. Eventually, an orc had stumbled in, just as tardy as the others that had arrived late. Mynx was not of the judging folk, yet she still held her reservations towards this ever growing group of "adventurers." There were the chipper ones, such as Zina, whom Mynx thought had never battled against the Scorned, and there were also those who supposedly took the place of another, like Adra. Even more so, the fact that several of them had been fashionably late worried Mynx, whom appeared to be one of the few battle hardened against the Scorned. 

Still, before Mynx found her thoughts wandering off, she returned her attention to the Emperor and the rest of the adventurers. Crossing her arms and shifting her weight to another foot, Mynx waited to hear her newfound companions' questions first before she spoke up. Surprisingly, Mynx had expected more to speak rather than the few that did. Those that spoke did so--one issuing his own style of a bargain for his services, and the other clearly energetic to learn. The fact that little was asked of their mission worried Mynx even further, whom found her eyes resting on the Templar beside the Emperor. Mynx hoped he knew what he was doing, or that he would explain more later on.

Turning her attention towards the gathered group, Mynx had seen no one else attempt to speak. Believing so, Mynx then approached the Emperor, answering his question with words of her own.[/color] [color=#91CFA6][b]"Your Majesty,"[/b][/color] [color=gray]Mynx spoke, addressing the Emperor himself. Whilst Mynx had a fire brewing inside, she was still a Fae, and only a Fae would know what they do best. Continuing to speak, Mynx adopted a more confrontational, yet hopefully persuasive tone.[/color] [color=#91CFA6][b]"We Fae have been fighting alongside your soldiers since the arrival of the Scorned, and I can only assume that you would be grateful for our help on this mission, yet like the man before, I [i]do[/i] have one request."[/b][/color]

[color=gray]Then came the clincher, the stinger, the bite, and sanguinely, the undoing.[/color] [color=#91CFA6][b]"That is, if we are to throw our lot under a potentially deadly and perhaps impossible task, then we should be rewarded in kind. However, I do not speak of shiny coins or bountiful lands or fancy titles. I speak of those who have given their all for an unjust cause: the slaves. We are given the choice of expending our blood, toil, tears, and sweat, whereas they have not. Give me your word that you will work to outlaw slavery, and then you will have my full support for your cause."[/b][/color] [color=gray]Mynx finished, allowing the Emperor a chance to consider her words.

It was only a matter of seeing if the Emperor would take the bait in order to kill two birds with one stone.[/color]
