At first, Nellara didn't think that the issue with Kerchak was something particularly worth her attention. After all, she had seen some other mages getting a bit carried away with alcohol and trying to use life magic... often to disastrous results, but more often than not, they just returned to normal after calming down and getting sober. But when she realized after a few minutes that regardless of how many people went to check-up on Kerchak, only more and more people started to gather, she knew there was [i]definitely[/i] something going on.

Nellara ended up arriving just a few minutes after Ixtaro did and the scene she saw was a rather surprising one. In the middle of the commotion, she couldn't see the tekeri named Kerchak. Instead, the creature that was there, with three eyes and multiple arms and legs, didn't appear like any other creature she had ever seen before. Nellara approached in silence and merely heard the creature's explanation from behind the commotion. Kerchar, or better, 'Kolvar', was from a different race, a Kriliteran. According to his explanation, the reason for him disguising himself was due to fear the S'tor would enslave him again, like they had done to his people in the past. The slaughter and enslavement of his people also seemed to be the reason why Kriliteran often disguise themselves and are so closed to the rest of the races.

Kolvar seemed to be quite nervous as he spoke, which was definitely understandable considering his position, the amount of people that gathered near him (particularly the S'tor guards and the thought mage they were escorting) and especially the weapons the humans seemed to love carrying so much. The moment the tensions hit their peak and Kolvar transformed his arm into a blade, determined to end his own life rather than have himself interrogated and his race enslaved once again, Nellara decided to finally intervene.

[color=d3c28b]"Captain Zeynep, with all due respect, I need you to ask your subordinates to lower their weapons."[/color] Nellara said, her words carrying a palpable seriousness and weight to them, despite her politeness.

[color=d3c28b]"The act of pointing weapons to things one does not understand has already caused enough misunderstandings for a single day."[/color] she said, particularly towards Darnell and Ezra, clearly referring to the first contact they had with the humans.

[color=d3c28b]"As... 'unusual' his appearance looks like, Kolvar is more willing to end his own life than to resort to violence, despite clearly being able to. I believe that is more than enough proof that he means no harm to any of us."[/color] Nellara said, looking towards the humans who still had their weapons on hand.

[color=d3c28b]"Kolvar, I heard your explanation and I can assure you it is exactly as Kareet said. The Ascension has no desire to interrogate you, do you or your race any harm or enslave you. Since the very beginning, the Ascension has always welcomed anyone with skills, regardless of their blood, family, age or race. Slavery is against the very foundations of our nation."[/color] Nellara said as she looked at Kolvar.

"I will make you the same request I made to Captain Zeynep. Kolvar, please lower your weapon. There is no reason why we cannot sit down and solve this situation without threats or violence."[/color] Nellara said, hoping to tranquilize him and defuse the entire situation, both making Kolvar lower his weapon and make the other humans stop pointing their weapons and interrogating him.
