The blonde man rose from his seat, his hair falling momentarily over his eyes. He stretched his arms slightly, displaying the tattoo on his back momentarily towards those by the cell door. Then he looked over his shoulder towards them, gradually turning to fully face them, approaching by a few steps.

[color=6ecff6][b]"You'd come. I knew you would. Red Star. You are bold. It runs deep in the royal blood."[/b][/color] Gadez said in a soft tone of voice, his ghostly blue eyes setting on Flynn's and then gave his usual butlerlike bow to Flynn and Amaya.

[color=6ecff6][b]"It is also good to see that Princess Maize has indeed the heart of her mother. The same bravery and defiance. But you've ought to know that sometimes it is better to stand down. However it is most fortunate that you were able to survive the attack on your life. No doubt you have pondered on the 'if's an 'what's would have happened had you taken a different approach. Well... to put your mind at ease, regardless of what choices we'll make, we have to live with them. You can dream back to a time other than now, yet you cannot ever go back. And even if one could, what is to say the other options would have been better?

Here's my advice. Always heed what your heart tells you, regardless what anyone else says. That's how you'll go on without looking back with any regret."[/b][/color] The man walked closer towards the bars separating them, his hand slowly tracing up his abs to his chest. For a moment he felt a rise in warmth, causing him to smile softly. Memories were sometimes indeed a cruel thing. He could not afford it right now. Thus the man returned to a more smug expression.

[color=6ecff6][b]"Standing down is what has left me to find myself with the opportunity to speak with you without attracting too much attention nor ears. Even if my attempt to lure the wolf which set upon you princess, has not quite yet paid off. He'll come for me. Boys seeking to prove themselves as men always do. Curiously one particular guardsman by the name of Zephyros did not return with the parchment nor coal which I requested. A pity. As I could have by now been able to provide you with quite the ample phantom face to chase. Even if you have seen the man yourselves. The rest of this place may be unaware of what face the boy wears. Here's my suggestion regardless. Refer to him as a human. For are rumors to spread of a blightborn attacking humans, it shall become exceedingly more difficult for you to unify that which must be. Without a unified core. Without a strong base. Dawnhaven. This tower of hope. Shall crumble. We would all lose."[/b][/color] He smiled softly as his gaze wandered from Flynn to Amaya, his hand by his waist, momentarily letting his tattooed back come into view again.

[color=6ecff6][b]"Ah... but you did not come this way to merely listen, you came here bearing questions. Such as how did I find myself locked in here? With abit of luck and guile. That girl. The self-proclaimed champion of Aelios, she played her part well. Nothing perks curiousity as making an open door become tightly shut. And then a few chosen words... made quite the wonders. No doubt you have had moments such as these yourselves in your youths. 


Exploring the castles and finding secrets you were never meant to find? Well... if you do have found things, perhaps it is because you were meant to. I was initially very doubtful of the goddesses myself, but after having experienced the things I have, even I, their greatest adversary has come to believe in their wretched existance. They are the reason why this world is never truly whole. Fractured. They've made the divide. Aurelia... Lunaris... I am certain once upon a time they were one, just like the goddesses were likely aswell. Nothing is ever created as a half. Makes one wonder where the glue that held it together went. And what became of it.

Perhaps exploring the very foundation which the twain kingdoms be built upon may yield such answers. But perhaps such knowledge is not meant for mortal minds..."[/b][/color] He paused briefly, but only briefly. 


[color=6ecff6][b]"As for the matters at hand. Dawnhaven needs not a prince nor princess, it needs a king and queen. Not necessarily by title. But action. It's soldiers are right now only it's soldiers in name, their loyalties lie with the kings of the two kingdoms. Tradition dies hard. The olden guard are too set in their ways, they will not buckle easily. Even when pushed. Drastic change is required. Ideally a blightborn commander would be good. However with the already strained lack in trust, such ought to wait. Red Star. Maize. You need a proper sword and shield of your kingdom come. Appoint the Aurelian commander to the Lunaris guard, and the Lunaris commander to the Aurelian ones. They will have to earn each others respect in action...

...which has made me draw the conclusion that you need an overseer of this. A supreme commander if you so wish. Fortunately for you... I am quite free at the moment. Despite how deceiving the scenery may be. Unless you came here for a different reason, like executing me for... supposed treason? Well then thing is... I was never aligned with Aurelia. Nor Lunaris. My allegiance has always been towards Dawnhaven. Even before it even existed. These lands were once grounds I gazed upon from quite the elevated position. Therefor you bear not the right nor duty to pass that judgement upon me, Red Star. However I do believe you ought to use your command, a true leader leads by example...if you won't lead Dawnhaven, another will make an attempt to do it in your stead, depending on whom it may be it could lead to catastrophic results. No more hesitation. We cannot afford that."[/b][/color] He tilted his head to the side and gave a smirk then looked to Amaya.

[color=6ecff6][b]"Princess Amaya. Allow me to properly introduce myself. I am Halcyon. My my, you do resemble them both... your mother and your grandmother."[/b][/color] Gadez nodded his head softly as he looked over her face.

[color=6ecff6][b]"Pray tell, do you see any other resemblence here? You see... the Red Star, the man you know as Flynn... is my[/b][/color] [color=fff200][b]little brother."[/b][/color] He said in a soft matter of fact tone of voice, looking at Amaya with a soft expression, then his head would eerily slowly turn towards Flynn, giving a slight upturn at the corner of his mouth.
