Elven Fire

[Supremacy 3361]

*Chuckles, looking to Lafthi*

"The most recent actions of said council may already be interpreted as surrender. They abandon what they know for something inferior with little remorse. No thought have they given as to how such may implicate the other denizens of the emerald isle. Perhaps it is time to consider those allies of Malinor in such decisions as opposed to such blatant disregard we see now. These elves coming together which you speak of will only occur if the council recognizes it is not as infallible in its decision making as it may wish to be.

I wish it to be know that I do not dissent to cause chaos alone, but rather to remedy substandard decisions. I seek to encourage the pursuit redemption in the face of severe failure."

*Xexus Nightheart, a mali'ker dressed in blue robes with silver lining, and a moon staff by his side listens intently. His mysterious amethyst eyes watch upon the conversation. He carefully squeezes his moon staff, the crescent silver moon on the long and flawless stick is directly pointing upwards. He begins to speak with a deep and mysterious voice to match his eyes.*

"I for one, wish to bring up the problem of the racist valah and the council doing nothing. They are not only racist to us mali'ker, but to all mali not of Oren. Their leaders deny it stating that we either deserve it, or it was never done. They decapitate mali children and put their heads on stakes. It is sickening and I have spoken with High Prince Bravepaw of this. He claims that he is working on it, but I see no progress done. Only more corruption, as Sythra declared Oren enemies, and confused everyone. What say you gathered mali?"

*Xexus finishes pursing his lips and waiting for a response.*

[Supremacy 3361]

*Looks to Xexus in disdain.*

"Mali'ker, The actions of the valah in Oren should not be the concern of mali and the government within our lands. Such may be enforced to the extent of protecting those discriminated against within the mali'nor, however those who live in Oren and avoid our superior people do so by choice. Such choice comes with consequences."

((Mali'nor = Land of Elves. Distinctly different from Malinor))

*Khel rides through the woods on a grey horse. His purple cloak covers the back-side of the horse, gently swaying side-to-side as the horse further progresses. Khel nears the campfire and slides off the horse, hitting the ground with a soft thud. He ties the horse to a mighty root which protrudes from the base of a tree. He strides towards the campfire, the cloak dragging behind him.*

*Khel steps into view of the group; however, only partially illuminated as he does not close in and sit down.(You can tell that is khel still) He leans his shoulder on a near-by tree and crosses his arms*

*Kalenz glances up*

"Ker'ayla"

[Baconthief 682]

*Stares into the fire for a long moment, obviously in thought*

"Is redemption possible? Can we undo the mistakes made by the previous High councils? Or is the wound too severe?"

"And this Silverwind? I highly doubt she has the abilities to recover this nation, or what will become an Oren puppet government. Has she even seen the Aegian malinor, the very same malinor she wishes to regress to?"

[Goldd 126]

*Xexus sighs and begins to speak to Kalenz.*

"Do take note, that some people take the carriages in Oren to get to Malin's Gorge more easily. Malin's Gorge IS a part of Malinor. There reside mainly mali'ker. We do not choose to leave our superior race, but simply relocate it for a sub-race, causing the start of this nonsense."

[Supremacy 3361]

*Kalenz turns to Xexus in irritation.*

"Once again, you mark the decisions of the mali'ker and mali'ame as those made with a lack of adequate thought behind them before they are made. Such should have been considered before you decided where to settle. It can only be blamed upon yourselves and thus is not a matter of concern for the mali'nor."

*He then looks direclty to Khel.*

"As for the possibility of redemption, I believe you contributed to the issue yourself llir with your extension of the foolish bortu alliance to aid them in an attack."

Elorna sits on a log by the fire, her green dress partially covered by a thick, brown shawl draped over her legs. The dancing light and shadow from the fire deepens the redness of her hair, and she leans in closer for warmth. As she stares into the flames with troubled eyes she listens to the conversation going on around her, a deep frown growing on her face with each word spoken.

Finally she mutters quietly, "When the uruks attack us and the valah threaten war it is because Malinor has 'provoked' them. Why are the Mali so quick to take the blame for the other races' foolishness?"

[Supremacy 3361]

"Perhaps because your previous High Princess incites war with Queen Kyral and your High Commander baits the Emperor of Oren. Despite the inferiority of other races, inadequate decisions have been made. One can not expect valah and uruk to act appropriately."

[Baconthief 682]

*Nods to Kalenz*

"I agree, it was in part my fault. However, the terms of the treaty were not communicated. By the manner in which the malinorian offensive in the war nation occurred it appeared a solid and concrete military alliance. The impression was that it did not restrict the aid. Yes, I take blame for it, but keep in mind. . .This could of happened to any other commander. Especially the previous ones, the ones who mounted heads on the walls like valah barbarians.The previous commanders would of done much worse in my situation, do you not agree?

The root cause of my actions were of the hieil'ikru. Both in creating an alliance with midgets, and a failure to provide their supreme military leader the terms of the alliance."

[Supremacy 3361]

*Kalenz frowns*

"So it seems the mali'aheral, who whose opinions were disregarded knew more than the high commander. A... distasteful state of affair. While it appears the individuals within the high council are not at fault bar the seemingly traitorous Elene who is now conspiring with Oren. It seems that the council in its entirely has failed."

[Baconthief 682]

*shrugs, his armor riping the bark of the tree he leans up against*

"Again, the high council failed to inform me what you knew. They were either too lazy or too clumsy, take your pick. They failed to inform me of the conditions of political treaties that occurred in my time away from mali'nor."

"I'd also like to bring up the previous High commanders. You'd agree many of them in my shoes would of made the situation much worse. Take the actions of Darion, the one who slain three elvish children. Imagine what he would done in my shoes. Compared to the other high commanders, I am one of the least aggressive of all. I did stop attacks on the war nation that the past two commanders committed to so dearly. Since then, I've not seen one major attack in malinor.

What happened in Salvus was simply a small truth inflated and exaggerated into a large lie.

We were in Salvus, but we did not touch a single valah there. The bortu did"

[Goldd 126]

*Frowns at Kalenz for his quickness to counter him. He decides to drop it as he knows that the mali'aheral can be stubborn. He begins to speak on Elene.*

"I hardly know about this Elene, but from what some people have told me, Oren wants her to be High Princess. If this does happen then all is lost. Oren will influence her every decision and altogether collapse our society. So now we have two corrupted figures. Previous High Princess Sythra and Elene. What a shame that we have fallen to the valah's level of government."
