[Taocow PBEM] Fwd: Chapter IX - The King Of The River

[Troy Imlach]

Talas making direct eye contact with Sia asks, in
Elvin "My Lady Sialillion, How great of a concern are
those two men?" Then switching back into English, that
of the English isles and not the American of North
America, says in a flat deadpan tone, "Do I think I we
can destroy a greater Daemon? I am Talas Leaf-Blade a
'Daemon Queller' even if I fall the beast shall fall
with me. For this is the destiny of all Daemon
Queller." Talas takes a sip of his ale and then in a
much more upbeat tone states "Besides I can not die on
this quest. I still need to go back to Ireland to get
my horse." Talas then give a hearty laugh.
