Thinking about the complications of them knowing nothing of the world, she decided here and now that would be the best idea to give them a head's up about the general state of the world, or at least the state of Alma by itself. She wasn’t sure it would inspire confidence in their abilities, but not telling them was admittedly worse. Her goddess was not just a goddess of healing and protection, but of [i]honesty[/i] as well. As a servant of her deity she needed to follow their ideals thoroughly and with conviction. Though that did not stop her anxiety in making such an explanation. What would happen if these heroes turned out to be cowards? Kaito certainly looked like one despite his earnest interest in magic. [color=A887B2]“I should probably tell you that the King being sick isn't the only other problem we are facing. There’s someone more dangerous than any goblin. Someone who’s been trying to take over Alma for the last year.”[/color] She commented as she kept looking out in the distance. [color=A887B2]“The Black King.”[/color] [/indent][/indent][/indent]
