It was out there, and the ball was now in Dragon's court. The King had stated it as eloquently as he knew how, with as much emphasis on how much the man was needed as he could place. Now it was all up to the clergy to determine if he wanted that much responsibility or not. Surely he would think this a great honor, as there were others of higher rank than he that could have stepped up - but Maverick had chosen him. For some reason the russet king had a fondness for the man, though he did not know him well. Whatever the case was, only time would tell what the future held. Dragon's answer came, accepting the position at once - with almost no hesitation at all. A smile spread across the monarch's features, happy to have had such a positive response. ?This means more to me than you could ever know, Dragon. I know you will do well. With this comes the ability to do just about anything necessary in the upcoming days or weeks, and of course if you should need anything don't hesitate to ask.? He paused, wondering what task was most essential for the new Duke. ?Perhaps you could prepare those you come across for the incoming Valhallans? We'll need extra food and dens prepared, as well as herbs for the healers, etc. ? That seemed suitable enough, not to mention it was a monumental task. ?speak,? |
