Editing Midnight RPG - Chapter 14.72 (section)

==Kevin / Nazif==
The little imp...  with water dripping from its bulbous eye, looks up pupils darting back and forth between the Channellers.  The Imp looks at Zal'Kazzir's extended hand and remembers...


'''''"It is with genuine hope and heart that I take solice in the open offer, Nay - reward of your hand MASTER.  However, forgive, that I must protest the nature of your preception of my intentions and falsehood.  Not, did I seek to sew hollow promise in the ears of starry-eyed fools.  There are no seeds of deceit and deception in my flowery speak.  Nay, ma-lord - I have given my service to lords and lieges, kings and queens, sinners and saints over the centuries and never have I made the hastey assumption that any were less than I.'''''


'''''I give you this first foray of advice and advocacy ma-lord...  I cannot be of better service if my mind is not spoken of full prescription.  Were I to twist my tongue to hold back caution and the advices of sages, sorcerors and centuries, then it is the disservice that I portray consultation.  Would you have that lack of forewarning of your 'first and faithful herald'?  Should I take your hand, it is with the telltale conceit that my will is my own and I give you the words you do not WISH, but rather the words you NEED.  At times you will hate me.  At times I will hate myself for making it so.  But were I to do less, I would rather roam the ethereal planes above Eredane with my less fortunate Outsider brethern.'''''


'''''I ask you MASTER, is it wrong to have wings on your heart, to hope for a new tomorrow? '''''

'''''Is it wrong to cast dreams and wish for fulfillment? '''''

'''''If that is wrong ma-lords, I cannot follow where you tread.'''''

'''''I MUST seek the things of yester-year.  I must think of times less VILE.  I must take care for the things that mortal forefathers once dreamed of. '''''


'''''Is the thought of kings and coin so lackluster in the veil of Shadow that we cannot hold steadfast to thought that which would make men glorious in the eyes of ancestors and descendants alike? '''''


'''''Make no mistake MASTER, I donot speak lightly when I speak of such wish-fulfillment.'''''

'''''I speak of intention and action.  I speak of valor and victory.  I speak of that which men fear to speak in the pale dark...'''''

'''''I speak true.  In the eye of the beholder.  Pray and pennance that my master's eye has room for hope.'''''

'''''If you, Zal'Kazzir Ghulvenne, have the heart to walk with me, we will see a day when men do not fear.  We will see a day when dwarf sings song again.  We will see a day when the fires on Erethor are no more.  And forbid the day that I see you lay down for such goals, I will tell your children's children of the man... the Sarcosan Lord that walked with me into the firey chill of the heart of darkness.'''''


'''''So you ask, Zal'Kazzir Ghulvenne, and I answer...'''''

'''''I kneel, Nazif Kor'ahn - though if you lords have heart I accept your kindness and rise just as it was forseen in the old legends as Belal, sworn-rider and herald of hope, first of the faithful."''''', as his head dips for the last time, standing to take up this new duty.
