Characters: The King and his Worried Subjects. Oh yeah, and some heroes.
Open? Yep!
Where: The King's lazy throne room. You know, the one that looks like a rich person's den.
When: GHB6
What: Someone made a bonfire of the White Forest so the King is holding audiences to try and calm the crowd.



The cluster of townspeople in the audience chamber is at an all time high. There's never been a forest fire like this before... at least not one that anyone can remember, even if Old Man Signchanger did try and point out that one time way back when he was young (because every one knows that that man was never young!

Heroes who want to speak with the King, however, are assured an audience. If anything, they'll be all but pushed up the line. This may be the most worried anyone has seen the normally bubble headed townsfolk...

The Thorns are too far off for the average person to worry about, but this? This was in their own back yard. The pending destruction of the world as they know it is nothing compared to a giant forest fire you can see!

Selene shook her head. "You are actually serious, aren't you?" She turned back to the King, curling up her fist. "God forbid you tell us enough to prevent us from making some manor of horrible mistake. What if I had simply ridden out and taken Kori on my own?"

"There would have been one cranky little White Mage likely blowing a hole in the city," the King half joked. "Besides. Would you have believed me even if I had told you? I'm not such a fool as to not be aware of my reputation among you heroes!"

"Well, now we'll see how cranky he really is." She turned away again and started for the door. So far as she was concerned, she hadn't heard anything worth not going out to see to the boy. Even if he wasn't the main target, his connection to whatever the voice of the thorns was seeking made him a target, whatever he actually was.
