With a respectful demeanor, DarkWood nods, bowing his head for a moment.
"The Lady has sent me to await your arrival, my Lord, and to directly convey this new mission. The Lady has heard news that there will be envoys from the church who know of a great prophecy regarding Arkhana. She wants you to prevent these envoys from reaching the capital. They must not meet with anyone from the empire."
Otso snorted and rolled his eyes, expressing his displeasure.
"That woman... even before we met in person, she has already been using me as her pawn," he grumbled in a hoarse voice.
DarkWood fell silent for a moment but quickly continued with his orders. He pulled out a small package from beneath his robe and extended it to Otso.
"The Lady also entrusted this to you, my Lord, in case something bad happens."
Otso stared at the package with raised eyebrows, quickly opening the outer layer. Inside, there was a small dark seed that looked quite ordinary.
