One of the Faeries was seen carrying a spear, and he was the most authoritative of the group. He took a step forward and addressed Broken.
"Broken," he said respectfully, "My name is Morel, Knight Commander of the Moonlight Fae. I come to you bearing a message of invitation from our Tribe Leader, Elaine."
Broken and the others all stood in a circle facing outwards. Their eyes darted down to the level of the faeries, who were small in stature with child-like bodies. As they conversed with them, they were careful to maintain eye contact.
"So, it's you who has caused us so much trouble that has made two of our friends dead and put our Yunatean friends in danger?!" Broken said sternly. "And now you come here with an invitation in your hands. Do you expect me to believe you?"
Morel then fell to his knees and bowed, "I apologize for the challenge I have given you. I had to do this to make sure that you are the person we have been waiting for."
