Location: Seitou's Clan
Importance:
When Selene and her scouts come back with the news Yara Greyjoy has acquired a powerful weapon, Seitou assigns Elfangor to make a team to steal the weapon.
"I know that not everyone in this group is the same and that's the
point." Elfangor began. "A mixture of skills will be the most beneficial
to the success of this mission. Marco, you were chosen due to your
ability to strategize. You're able to look at things in black and white
so as to make the most logical call. It is cold and calculating, but is
the only way to survive in certain situations."
I could catch a
grin on Marco's small face. It was not often Elfangor paid those outside
of the Warrior Department a compliment. The fact that Elfangor
complimented him also meant he had been watching every dragon more
closely than I thought.
"Jake Berenson, I chose you for your
ability to lead." Elfangor continued. "Whenever I am not able to attend a
battle, I feel comfortable sending you in my stead. This mission is no
different."
"I will not fail you." Jake replied with a small bow.
"Rachel
Berenson and Jorah, you were chosen for your fighting skills. Jorah has
managed to prove himself in battle while Rachel can kill even the
toughest foe. If problems arise I know you can handle them."
Rachel
remained calm but I had fought by her side enough to recognize her
unease. While she was a great fighter, she had a fear that one day she
would be consumed by her bloodlust. She also didn't like being thought
of as only a killer. But she didn't argue with Elfangor.
"Axx, it
is true that you are young." Elfangor said as he looked at his son.
"But you have found a way to be adaptable in various situations. You are
able to change your mindset when doing so will help you survive."
"Thank you, father." Axx replied with a bow.
"Tobias,
you were chosen due to your ability to read the land quickly. Your
Yun-Harla abilities are also extremely useful. Vergere does not appear
ready to give away her secrets and I don't blame her. You were able to
survive beyond the bounds of the continent. Many die or go mad if they
have to endure what you did."
Tobias nodded politely and a faint
smile graced Rachel's face briefly. It was his journey beyond the
continent that had made him into a tougher dragon than before. He was a
weakling previously but his misadventure brought out a side to him that
no one had ever seen before.
"Cassie, you were not chosen for
your fighting abilities." Elfangor continued. "Instead you were chosen
due to how easily you find a peaceful solution. You are also one of the
few dragons that are concerned about being moral even in the bleakest of
situations."
"I won't fail you, Elfangor." Cassie replied. "I will make the Shadowbinder proud."
"Mary
Graham, you were also not chosen for your ability to fight. Instead it
is your healing abilities that I was interested in. I'm unsure of the
dangers you'll encounter, but I know your friends will need a healer."
Mary
looked nervous but she also had a gleam of determination in her eyes.
She would be scared as one could get but would never give up. She would
do her part to protect everyone in the group. Marco didn't look
convinced but held his tongue. I was glad that he was allowing the Fae
her moment. If Elfangor chose her then she would prove herself to the
rest of the group as the mission continued.
