Chapter Text
"Why the sudden meeting? You weren't exactly forthcoming with the details." A curt voice echoes through the large, darkened chamber, closing the secret entrance behind him. As he adjusts the hood of his cloak, his pallid skin gently glows in the dark, pointed ears and sharper features poking through long, dark blue hair pulled back into a low ponytail. Emerald green eyes with flecks of violet glances around the room, waiting for a response.
"There is a new threat to our one and only King." Gloved, folded hands rest on a worn table, with most other identities obscured either by cloak or darkness. Despite their name, the Imperial Ministry of Luminance took care to ensure that its members kept those in charge anonymous. It's part of the reason why they've endured as one of the longest lasting factions to serve the Ender King.
"The 'Battery' our mighty King used before his unjust imprisonment has come to The End, on its own accord. Those in our midst were able to detect their magical essence when they came in." Emerald green eyes glance around the room, finding most eyes pouring daggers into him.
The other part? Ruthlessness was in their nature. They would do anything if it meant aiding the King in achieving his greatest desires, even if it meant betraying their own. It's best to play the part of the willing servant than to risk meeting a grisly end.
"...What do you need me to do?"
"You must ensnare it and bring it to us, alive and in one piece. We do not know what its plans are aside from possibly aiding this so-called Council of Renewal, but if it was powerful enough to give our King the Resurgence in power he desired, there's no telling what it might do without a proper leash."
Really, a fetch quest? The elven man thinks to himself. Shouldn't be too difficult. There hasn't been that much progress on the investigation of the Main Island, so maybe this will be a nice change of pace.
"Inquisitor, we entrust you with this most important mission. You must find the Battery and bring the Battery to us.The Ministry's future endeavors are greatly tied to the completion of this task."
"I swear it will be done." The tall, elven man turns and leaves without another word, setting off to find the mysterious Battery.
