Among those of the crowd, Velik (Vel-Ick) stood as he listened to the words of his bloodline. His eyes only closing to take in a deep breath, knowing it was finally time. The masked elf had hidden amongst the trees for so long, avoiding nearly all as he wished to merely be alone, but now would be the day when all of that changed. He messed with his green sash from which hung tightly from around his waist before moving forward, raising a hand to push some gently aside so he could make his way to the front. He coughed a bit through the cloth which covered his face before finally speaking out loud enough for those around to hear as he reached his sibling.
"I will stand beside you, my noble brother, as we return ourselves to the ways of which we used to live. My only hope is that Malin will see our attempts for rekindling who we were and grant us his blessing."
And with that, the dark elf turned, staring at the group as if he also was waiting for others to appear. For so long he had hidden, he almost wondered if he had made the right choice in coming out so easily. He closed his eyes only for a few moments to ponder it before nodding to himself, opening them again to stare out with confidence in his decision that other family will emerge.
