out of sight, out of mind!!

In a secret room, hidden in the castle of the gray High elf king Elistan. Two figures where discussing the third born son to the king.

The first of the two was King Elistan himself, the other was a very famous or infamous( depending on you point of view) guild master by the name Avostad.

Avostad, came from humble beginnings and fought his way to the top of one of the most unknown, yet selective guilds ever to be founded. The Bladesinger's guild was renowned for there warrior's . To spend a century learning there complex art forms is mearly scratching the surface.

A Bladesinger blends the strength of a great sword man with the arcane talents of a battle mage. We are not talking about a fighter with some magical skills , and we also are not discussing a mage that can swing a sword effectively. We are talking about a art form that , combine's a deadly sword dance, with the skill to cast magical skills to add evocation effects to a blade, bolster the caster's strength, speed stamina, to completely hide from sight until a killing stroke is set in motion, to make one completely silent. And the weapon of a Bladesinger, fully in the throws of battle and their blade dance is said the blade actually sings a death dirge. And the next target alone can hear their name being called by the blade. Now any edged weapon that consists of a blade that can be used one handed qualifies for the guild's acceptance, the more exotic or uncommon the weapon is the longer it is said to attain proficiency with the blade dance skill set. But only the truly gifted can make a simple long sword a instrument of utter destruction.

Master Avostad, mastered the art using his grandfather's dirk from when he served in the sixth regiment two millennium ago by the shores of the purple mountains pass far the northern reaches of the elven kingdom

. It is the only weapon he's ever owned or wanted to carry.

My king, has this in ability to observe the prince been made know to him ever?

Beyond you me the queen and my royal magi none know of it that I'm aware. Nor where we able to discern if this is a Innate ability he was born with? We long ago settled on the fact that we couldn't even detect if some form of magic was used to shield the prince. And since It didn't adversely affect him. We just came to grips with it.

Humm the old guild master said taking a moment of o think before speaking.

I would have to agree site, the level of power needed to cast such an enchantment as to last two hundred years and still no one can even glean how or what kind of magic was used to cast it, what is it source of power, speaks to a almighty god like Entity. Or perhaps even a god themselves might have a hand in it as well.

After Avostad spoke the two feel into a quiet contemplation with each trying to decipher this information. New insight and perspective for the king and the untold possibilities one such at this could Achieve for the guild master.

So when may I observe the prince? It would be best that he not know he's being tested.

The king responded at once, tomorrow is his birthday and he will Demonstrate his knowledge and skills he has learned. We will hide you amongst the gallery.

Be it know now I had hoped for Corllion to become the spiritual leader of my kingdom and one day a chosen one of our god.

We sure we will see! Even if he has talent he might not be suited for the path of the bladesingers. And I know I don't have to inform you sure as I'm sure your already completely aware that once you learn our art form you belong to the guild and no other. Not even bonds of blood. If ever a member dishonors themselves or the guild or can't handle the arduous training and Lifelong discipline it takes they will be put to the blade by a brother, the first being to regain the guilds honor the second, would be granting mercy to a fellow member.

King Elistan became extremely still and appeared to not even take a breath for a long period of time. Of course he already knew these facts, but having them spoken aloud to him regardless of whether or not it offended or enraged him, And said, in a offhanded matter-of-fact manner. Gave the king pause.

Should I just Decree that he go into The secular order of there god. Or let whatever powers that be, that have been operating behind the scenes and in the shadows for the entirety of his youngest son life have there way. And if he forced his hand, what repercussions to his kingdom might ensue.

The long silent pause, finally ran its course and the king let out a long sigh and began to speak to Avostad once again.

Honored guild master, I am by birth not deed Inheritor of this realm, I do not possess the power it would require to go against what ever forces are at play in my sons life that have guided him to this point. It may well spark the end of my line to fight it, please be my honored guest at the princes birthday demonstration, and see if he may have what it takes to become on of your order.

My son may be of royal blood, but he is no spoiled child. He has always sought the harder right path in everything he has done. I do not doubt that he has what it takes to become one of your honored members.

In a far away pocket of space Fate, is smiling while listening to the thought to be private meeting in the hidden depths of the even castle.

Fate remarked, to his visitor, It's nice when they come to these decisions on their own.

Wisdom rolled her eyes at the statement, and how many Decisions did you influence in the last 200 years with this child?

I know my rules, I never influenced the child himself. Only those around him. His choices remained his own.
