As the knight spoke, Arlo’s expression turned a bit sour. The idea of being escorted by a bodyguard wasn’t something he ever wanted, and he felt belittled by the thought of the king assigning him one. He thought perhaps the king was worried of an outright attack by the townsfolk while he worked, or maybe the man was sent by the king simply to supervise him. Either way, it was initially an unwelcome turn of events to suddenly have a babysitter following him around. That is, until he learned his name. 

Sir Kay? [i]The [/i]Sir Kay? Arlo knew the name well. A hero to his people. A hero to him. Frankly, Arlo was his biggest fan even if he had never seen him personally. A human, who had never been inside Moonfall, had no connections to her people, but still sacrificed so much in their defense. Arlo could hardly hold in his excitement to meet him, but letting on that he knew about it would give away that he was a native. 

“Ah-- Sir Kay. I’ve uh, nevermind. I’d be glad to have you along.” Arlo bowed his head briefly.  “It would be a good idea to have someone at my side. I’ll have to extend my gratitude to his majesty.” 

Arlo reached into his robe and removed the pendant. Carefully unraveling the cloth from around it so that he would not touch it again, he held it out to Sir Kay in his palms.

“I believe I’ve found the source of the crisis. A cursed amulet, with ties to a lich, surely enough to drive a simple creature like a shadow sprite mad. I could simply remove the artifact from the city, but I doubt that alone will be enough. The curse has to be removed entirely or the lich may still have a hold of the capital and we’ll have a much, much bigger problem. So I’m making the journey to Ashton today to seek the help of their healers, someone there will have the means of sanctifying both the pendant and the place where I found it.”
