[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 7528765, member: 2012"] Aureus stands in between Quinn and Phar, her face quizzical. Phar doesn't have to think very long to remember the name, Ash Witch. Her legend was so infamous that it became known not only in the human lands of the Eastern Shores nort of here, but also among the elves of the Great Forest of Harqual. She was a powerful Wererat Queen that woud be akin to some of the Werewolf Lords that are infamous to history. However, the legend also said she was a vampire and that her broods were touched by both curses. If true, Hornauer could not only be a wererat but also a vampire. No, he is standing outside in the daylight. He'd die in the sun, wouldn't he? The legend says that the Ash Witch ruled over all of the lands east and south of the Thunder Mountains, although several historical tomes Phar read in his youth contradicted the legend. Lorien would likely know more. Could he have suffered more to keep them from learning the truth. "[B]I[/B] did not lie to you," Sir Balorix replies firmly. "No, I did not tell you who I was, but if you had asked my name on the docks or in the boat, I would have been honorbound to tell you. But you didn't." "I, I did lie to him," Sir Ghal adds. "I told them you we're just guards I had chosen for this mission." "I did tell you to come up with a reason for our presence, but I did not tell you to lie to them," the Investigator chastizes the young knight. "I didn't know what else to say," Sir Ghal snaps back. "You and Aeron put me in a tough position." "Aeron knew?" Aureus asks. "Yes, I told him who I was and why I didn't wish to tell any of you, and he agreed. He said it would be a good test for you all. Something to do with learning to interpret truth from a certain point of view and dealing with difficult situations." Caerth fumes. In the back of his mind, he remembers a story that Aeron told him once about the evil Ash Witch. She was said to be a horrific figure that parents used to scare their children into behaving. 'Don't throw rocks at the chickens or the Ash Witch will get you'. Of course, Aeron never did that to him. But he did tell his young charge to be wary of any smelly strangers who spent too much time around vermin. But he never mentioned the Ash Witch being a wererat. Could Aeron have kept the truth from him? "You don't believe me," Sir Balorix adds with a grim look. "You don't even know who he really is, he's no druid, so how can you know every thought in his mind?" "Sir Balorix, that is not your secret to tell," Sir Ghal insists. "If 'Aeron' had any honor, he'd have told this young man who he truly is years ago," the older knight snaps back. "He owes him that much." "It's still not your story to tell," the younger knight replies. "Very well," Sir Balorix agrees. He looks a Caerth. "I am sorry if you feel you have been wronged. It was not my intention. I only wished to observe you all and deem your worthiness. Perhaps I am so out of practise dealing with people, I did not realize my error. I am truly sorry for upsetting you. I swear on my oath as a Paladin of Cull that I did not intend to deceive you." Sir Balorix gets on his knees and orders Sir Ghal to do so as well. He takes off his sword belt and bows his head. He raises the weapon and Sir Ghal does the same. "If you feel you must have vengeance, I will not stop you," the paladin says. "Sir Ghal, do not do this," the man named Elijah pleads. "Do not interfer," Sir Ghal says as he follows the paladin's gesture. "And Caerth, I swear that Elijah is one of my guards and that he didn't know who Sir Balorix or Sir Avanth were until this moment." Elijah looks at you all and steps back. He nods his head with his eyes wide. "Lying not okay," Aureus says with her arms crossed. "But I need no revenge. Apology fine." Hornauer orders his dire rats back, as he steps up just behind and to the side of Caerth and whispers in the half-orc's ear. "You are right to be angry, brother," he hisses. "I say take their weapons and throw them from the tower. They have wronged you and lied about your teacher. Kill them and be done with it. After that, I will tell you how to deal with my mother and her brood." He comes very close to the half-orc and moves to place a hand on Caerth's arm.
