[b]Lexianna[/b] Inwardly I wince. I can feel the shards of the moon fracturing and then splintering into nothingness. I walk over to Blaze and usher him out of the tent. "Thank you for the gripping display. I'm sure it will serve them well." I lean to whisper in his ear. "I'm going to try and smooth things over here. Please go on ahead and keep an eye on them. Make sure they don't cause any other detrimental environmental catastrophes." I lean up and plant a parting kiss on his cheek and enter back into the fray. I face Karnariel and with a snap of my finger the moon is back in place. " Please don't take this the wrong way but your views are shallow if you think for a second everything is irreversible. I look your age but I've been around for eons young man. Nothing is ever quite so simple." "I understand you're all frightened, you were before and are probably more so after that display. If you'd do me the courtesy of hearing me out I'd be very much obliged. However that might be difficult to do with any clarity after what you just witnessed." I take a deep breath and exhale releasing a calming energy. It lingers inches from those present. "There's a calm in the room, all you have to do is reach out and touch it. I don't like to alter emotions without permission in non-dire circumstances. It's your right to refuse it I just ask that if you do, you listen with an open mind and open hearts." I look at each person in turn then focus my attention on Karnariel. "I apologize. My friends and I can be quite intense. I'll do my best to ensure no further atmospheric disturbance occur but think of what you've accomplished on your own. You've done some good. Now think of what you could do if you accept us and work with us. We're here and we're fighting the same enemy anyways. It'd be wise to utilize the chance. As for killing the nobles." I retake my seat on a cloud. "I sense the vengeance in you Karnariel. It can often be a poison and a poisoned mind can be a liability to those around. For you, that seems to be many children. Are you willing to risk them for a personal vendetta? If this can be settled peacefully I intend to ensure it. It's not for you to be judge, jury, and executioner. You should be the last person to believe one is beyond salvation as it seems you've found yours in these children. Would you like to tell me about it?" I've offered the olive branch. If he still orders me out I'm willing to go peacefully. I am completely and honestly wanting to work together though. [b]In the forest[/b] My heart sighs deeply. My friends may very will snap their fingers and turn my talks to dust before they even start. I sit with my eyes closed on a downed log. Shadow's arrow trained on me and no longer trusting. What a mess. I allow myself to just feel him. His aura. He's frightened yes but beyond that there's a goodness to him. I open my eyes and search out his dark ones. His soul looks good too. "Lord Shadow I assure you it was not I who destroyed your moon but it is I who has replaced it." The moon's soft glow falls over us and if he wasn't quite interested in listening to me before his curiosity I would bet wins out now. "I apologize. My friends seemed to have had a misunderstanding that resulted in that unnecessary show of force. I mean you no harm. " The moon's light extends and illuminates the immediate area. " I'm here for many reasons which I'll be happy to explain. As for who I am." I motion to the forest. It is already flourishing from my brief time here. The trees taller, the foliage darker, the air crisper. "My name is Lexianna. I'm a guardian of nature known as the Lotus to many. As a guardian I assure you again I mean you no harm so please call of your man and put away your weapon Lord Shadow. We have much to discuss."
