[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 5221230, member: 4936"] Ilshana somehow managed to both relax and tense up in her belly at the same time. One threat gone, replaced by another, and one potentially just as intense. The fey bargain. Mentally she cracked her knuckles and reviewed the Wolf Queen's proposal. [i]So, for one month, anyone that any of us talk to has to be told the tale of this keep and what happened here, in a different way than any time before, by a different one of us.[/i] A few dangerous interpretations flung themselves at her instantly. Fortunately, no bargain was a TRUE bargain, without a bit of haggling. [COLOR="Lime"]"Your proposal is just and fair, Queen of the Wolves,"[/COLOR] Ilshana assured her, [COLOR="lime"]"But as we are mortal and our memories and minds somewhat feeble, let me ensure that what is obvious to you is as clear to us...
