    Sir Brunch brought before the King the young girl with the pink hair. The King was sitting in one of the large, comfortable chairs in the room facing the doorway. "Your Royal Highness, may I present Lady Sarah, from the Islands of Kensu Thunderfist." King Kovar regarded the girl as she came into his study and kneeled. She was accompanied by a small, blue dog that seemed very happy and very attached to her. 

    *BOOM!* another fiery volley crashed into the castle wall. Purposefully the fireballs weren't doing a great amount of damage, Bandersnatch seemed to be shooting at stone walls and wasn't aiming at any flammable or populated areas. Most likely the beast was letting them know he had the power to bring death to them and was choosing not to. As long as he was content to be threatening they had time to come up with a plan for how to defeat him.  

    The girl was definitely the spitting image of painting in the main hall, she had to be one of the Oracles, or she was a brutally effective mimic. "We expected the Rays to arrive from the Islands, but we did not expect them to bring us a visitor. Tell me, who are you?"

[color=ed145b]"Ah! Forgive me, m- your majesty!"[/color] she says hurriedly, giving an equally hurried bow. [color=ed145b]"M-my name is Sarah, and I'm most honored to meet you! I... I've come from the island where the Wizard Thunderfist lives... or rather... where he [i]lived[/i]..."[/color]

    "You're saying that Master Kensu is dead?" The King's heart raced but he didn't let his face express any emotions, as Royalty he was expected to learn the discipline of controlling his expressions since he was a child. "Please child, be at ease. Sir Brunch!" He commanded, "get us some food, wine, and water for our Guest, we will eat here." Pip let out a soft bark, the King smiled, "and some food and water for the dog." The Knight bowed and left the room. 

    "Now child, come, sit." The King motioned for Sarah to sit at the desk close to his own chair. "Do not be afraid of me, I may be a King but I am not a tyrant," he smiled warmly, "Please tell me your tale. Where did you come from, and what happened to Master Thunderfist?"

[hider=SYNOPSIS] 
Time to tell your story. This is both a good opportunity to talk about what you think of yourself as well as what you think of the things you've experienced and learned. Don't be afraid to express your doubts and fears, oh, and you can see Bandersnatch out the window, though he appears to have stopped firing upon the castle for the moment. [/hider]
