[HQ Ignorance] Scene 146 : Dark Moon at the Return to Harajallenburg

[Loran]

Azhur looks longly at the gathering crowd of trollkins, then puts a knee on the ground to make sure he won't be too high compared to Isonash but keeps his back fully straight to make sure his move will not be mistaken with an act of full submission.

He tries to talk with his best ability in a mix a human and trollish words but his language is fair and square because he speaks with total sincerity.
- "I'm Azhur of Daymare, son of Lord Daymare and descendant from a long lineage of exiles from Ralios in Loskalm who have studied Arkati philosophy although it is said that before them, my ancestors were from the Galanini people and were worshipping Sun Horses as my armorial bearing may attest [Or Mare on Azure Field]. My companions are member ot the Talor's Fellowship, a band made of simple but gifted people of good will. Together, we try to face the end of our time. At the start, we were fighting the desperate battle against the Kingdom of War, a place like an expanding cancer of hate and violence threating our own lands, but having crossed the continent in our quest, we have discovered that every land was facing the ordeal of the corruption of our Age... and here as well!" 

He waits to make sure the presentation is fully understood, eventually with the support of the Fourth's translation.
- "Wisdom of my forbearers I have not. I come from the West where Uz are considered as flesh-eating monsters by the humans, but following the example of my own family I learnt a little of the trollish ways in Ralios. I fought there many battles, and I died on their heroic plane." Here his voice get somber and his face grimer. "We have see many impossible events occuring before our astounded eyes: a church with benevolent intention falling into ultim evil, primeval forests sprouting out high overnight, arbhorred sorcerers supposed to be extinct still being alive and capable, hellish giant red bat tall as a mountain killed by a rat, waring city of living puppets, talking zombie requesting respect for his individuality and a two-headed dragon of doom emerging from a cauldron..."

- "From this travel I learnt only one thing: everyone die and vanish, just people of modest means suffer more. If we, sentient mortals, are all equal in fears in front of the death mystery, we are now facing more than death but full oblivion. Everyone has the right to fight for his own life and just like in "I fight we won", who knows if victory may come from the effort of all or from the most modest creature? I just believe that especially during crisis time, those who stand together are stronger. It is my duty as knight to help everyone to stand and fight equaly. As I told you I do not know Enlo, but I didn't know much more about Aldryami or Dragonewt and they helped us anyway and yes the world was changed after their support, but I accept this because the world still was. You say you know specific useful knowledge, very fine, but I would have been honored to accept any good will anyway.We have a walking castle, we are about to fulfil an old cryptic
 prophecy. Join us in equality of status and treatment, because it is my only rule. You may even decide to have another war marshal than me if you convince enough people to vote for a change. Just keep in mind that our enemies are all the forces that work to annihilate this world whatever their shapes and names and I will keep fighting them until victory or my utter destruction."

He glances at Isonash and asks then:
- "Will you join our Fellowship? I have no other promise to do."

 The King-elect Azhur
 makes his request to The Fourth and to those in
 earshot, and the conversation between Rikku and
 Akihi is also overheard.
 The words spread
 among the little darkmen, and one of their number arrives
 and seeks audience with Azhur; her skin is
 pale, short white hair slicked
 back, and a
 face that shows many years. She wears a multi-coloured
 patchwork of warm clothes and fur boots.
 Incorporated into her clothes are
 various
 fetishes; necklaces and bracelets, pieces of bone, old
 coins,
 scraps of the clothes of others. Her
 incredibly bright blue eyes are
 piercing, as
 she raises herself to her full height of four foot eleven
 (in
 one white sock, for the literary
 reference).
 
 "Isonash I
 am", she says. "Carry I the spirit of these
 people. Speak you
 quest against
 Annihilation. You know what of such things? Me tell you,
 About Black Eater Enlo know much, yes, yes,
 yes. First Bright One in Home
 it burn, drive
 us to Hurtplace. Then in Hurtplace the Mad Council make a
 God, tainted by Eater. Great Mother Spirit
 Kyger Litor, eat she this God,
 so has Black
 Eater within her. Born then are Enlo. We are what Uz will
 become because Black Eater within all Uz. This
 our great shame, and great
 knowledge. Uz do
 not understand! Humans do not understand! Aldryami and
 Mostali too, understand not!"
 
 "Dragonewts? I don't
 understand!"
 
 "If
 quest yours is true, join you we will. End Annihilation will
 we. End
 Black Eater, end Curses, even end
 Bright One, maybe Hurtplace become Home?
 Say
 you what King?"
