Council with a King (Invite Only)

Averbane watched her carefully, he smiled "You'd risk thousands for a single person? Countless lives just for Kronos?" He stood up and walked to a chest to which he dug around inside, he pulled out parchment, quill and ink, he sat down and wrote up this contract. Promising her 100 of his best and then, a peace treaty between the shadows. An end to their fight. He signed it with his royal seal and passed it to her. "Congratulations Miss Gaunt, you passed. You're welcome to this treaty. A favour for a favour. I checked for three things. Courage, strength in words and passion and love for those you wish to defend. Okay that's four, but you get my point. Kronos isn't dying, I wouldn't allow it. But thank him, because if weren't for him, we'd not be having this conversation. I'm not sorry for my games I play. I needed to know. Now, unless you have more to discuss. I'd ask you'd leave, and with my blessing none the less, stay in Nexus as long as you wish. Dragon will take you home."

Marvolo closed her eyes for a moment breathing deeply, kronos would be okay, he isn't dying. She understood the king's reason for his trickery but still her heart hammered in her chest. Looking to the old monarch she smiled "Thank you sire. I hope our partnership shall be long and prosperous" she took the later from his out stretched hand and carefully placed it into her trench coat. Twisting her fist over her heart she bowed at the waist before turning to join Dragon.

Dragon walked silently for a few moments "That went well. Least we are both still alive, he's still a prick, but he needed to test you" he exited the hall with her and smiled "so, what does the contract say?"

"Promises 100 hundred of the strongest grimms and a treaty between grimm and shadow" she said as she read the curling script.
"I wouldn't call him a prick, he's a vampire isn't he? centuries of existence would make you wary of trusting someone even if they come highly recommended" she smiled at dragon "thank you for bringing me here, truly this will help."

"He is when you know him like I do...Marvolo, shall we depart? Or would you like to explore?"
