Day 8; Orb 1; Intro

[brosif]

[Sif sits in a throne that does not feel like her own, but that others have insisted she take. Nonetheless, she does look regal – she has never had a problem taking command when a mission lies so plainly in front of her. This kingdom needs help. When her quest has been fulfilled, she can go home. That is the way of such things.]

Greetings. I am [and she pauses a moment, the words still uncomfortable] Prince Sif. That is what I have been asked to call myself. Like most of you, the title was thrust upon me and I have no need of it in the long term. But here, I represent my home of Asgard. It would not do for a representative of the Æsir to leave a kingdom unaided that asks for help. I am sure that the same holds true for those of you that choose to represent your own realms.

And so, I would seek this kingdom’s best and brightest to join me in an excursion to the Two Faced Forrest, to investigate these thorns. There is a sizeable reward available to anyone who can help us provide further information about them.

A reward, huh? When are we heading out?

[brosif]

Tomorrow morning. Any reward will be contingent upon a productive outcome.

[ex_apaintingdarkly917]

I'll see you in the morning, then. I'm Dark.

[brosif]

I hope you don't mind the observation, but that's quite the ominous name.

[ex_apaintingdarkly917]

I don't mind at all. It suits me.

[brosif]

Precisely what you want to hear before you join someone in a quest.

[ex_apaintingdarkly917]

Hey, you don't want me along, just say the word.

[brosif]

At this point, I am in no position to turn help away. Just consider it a point of advice.

[ex_apaintingdarkly917]

I'm either useful or I'm not. You'll have to decide which for yourself.

[brosif]

We shall see how you preform tomorrow, then.
