His arrogance and religious fanaticism made him blind to the truth and only able to see exactly what he wanted. Regardless of anything she said, no matter how obvious, Silbermine would only see and hear what he wanted to. Despite Silbermine's arrogant, loud shouts as he replied, Nellara kept silent, carefully assessing the situation and paying attention on Kareet's words as she approached her. [color=d3c28b]"We should indeed start carefully positioning ourselves, Seeker Kareet. Solving this situation without fighting might be harder than I previously though..."[/color] Nellara said, her mind racing as she thought on the next course of action and what she could do to both protect the Ascendancy territory, their relationship with the Humans and at the same time, minimizing any possible losses from their side, should a conflict with the Glen knights really arise. [color=d3c28b]"Whether we end up in a fight against Silbermine's knights or not, the cooperation from the humans will be instrumental to solve our situation."[/color] Nellara said, agreeing with Kareet and Kerchak's words. [color=d3c28b]"Kerchak, If we want any hope to solve this conflict without having to spill blood, we need a thought mage as soon as possible. I will try keep Silbermine busy, please take one of my soldiers to Lenkik and tell them that Castigator Nellara requested for a thought mage to be dispatched urgently."[/color] Nellara said as she looked to Kerchak before she turned toward Silbermine once again. [color=d3c28b]"Look around you, Silbermine! The border between the Ascendancy territory and your people's territory, the exact line separating the mountains from the marshland is clear! For you to lay claim to this hill would be the same as if I took an army and laid claim to a hill just besides one of your cities."[/color] Nellara said, looking to the Glen noble and his knights with an undeniably threatening gaze. Soon as Nellara said that, Both J'eon and Shirik spoke with Silbermine as well. The first questioning the honor of the Mythadian Knights as they sought to steal the ship from the humans and the latter bringing into attention the fact that the 'painting' on the side of the ship didn't depict a Glen, but in fact a human riding a beast. Silently agreeing with Shirik's words, as he, much like Kareet mentioned that a Parley could bought them the time they needed, Nellara once again directed her attention towards Silbermine. [color=d3c28b]"There is no lack of evidence that your reason to claim this ship as yours is unfounded, Silbermine! But if you still think you have enough reasons to do so, I ask for parley! A chance for us all to settle this dispute without spilling blood, either ours, yours or the Sky People's."[/color] Nellara said as she started walking forward, stopping exactly halfway between the ship and Silbermine's knights.
