I know nothing of Sylva's reputation, or even the budding infamy of my own homeland. I had met a single diplomat - Hestia of Nerine - but beyond that my knowledge of other kingdoms is limited to their names and general locations. We have always been safe in Loess - ignored, yes, but safe - and while my heart longed for adventure my mind was not so bold.
Still, my Arthas has asked this of me. He says my name again, and that same shiver runs down my spine. "Anything you wish," I reply, the words catching in my throat.
I don't recognize the name Morty, and I am unsure if the 'devil' was out of familiarity with the Sylva king or an apt description. Surely the former, I decide, my Arthas would never put me in danger. He says that the king will want me for himself, and while I should probably have interpreted as a warning, I am too caught up in what he says next and the heat of his breath on my cheek.
"I'll go now?" I ask him. Surely the sooner I leave the sooner I will return. Perhaps some time spent in the golden woods of Sylva will not be entirely terrible. That is where Arthas had emerged from, after all, a handsome stranger amidst the yellow leaves. I will carry back whatever information I can and do so quickly, all the sooner to be back at his side.
