[color=0080ff]"Thank you."[/color] The fantastic hot drink was refreshing. Niah was okay with the red tape. It made it so kids wouldn't wander off thinking just anyone could be heroes. However, she would like to just get this all over with. They likely wouldn't even get out of camp until tomorrow morning. [color=0080ff]"Wait what?"[/color] Niah blinked at Nancy as she made her demand. She had to know that Niah didn't like making oaths and here Nancy was making her swear on her own life. But a part of Niah's memory clicked as she thought about it. Nancy and Mads had been found in a hotel in Las Vegas. Something awful must have happened. The way Nancy was staring into Niah's very soul. Could she do it? Was this something Niah could promise? Quests tended to be chaotic and getting to Mount Rushmore...well they could go around the entire state of Nevada just to be safe. And the Oath was just for this quest. Her stomach twisted and she wished she still had some tea left. To buy herself some time she fake sipped at it. [color=0080ff]"I..."[/color] She froze. So much of her last few years had been avoiding making Oaths, especially of this magnitude. Niah closed her eyes breaking contact with Nancy. Then took a deep breath, reopened her eyes and looked back at Nancy. [color=0080ff]"I swear."[/color] She could feel magic gathering around her gently. [color=0080ff]"To not step foot in Las Vegas or a casino on this quest."[/color] The magic tightened and she knew the Oath was complete, and she hated doing it. [color=0080ff]"Let's get this over with."[/color] She put her empty cup away and left the cafe. Her hands shaking.
