He nodded.
"Virgil, is the Frozen King the reason you believe this to be a one-way trip?"

"Yes."

"Will you be okay if something happens to me?"

Virgil would nod.
"I would return to my previous form and enter a form of hibernation."

"Then it will have been an honor."

Virgil would nod. He also felt honored to have worked with Blake, however it wouldn't be long before they reached a central hub area that lead to stairs and hallways and the like. Some sort of greeting room or gathering area. In the center would be The Frost King who was waiting for them. In the open, armed visibly with just his sheathed sword. He wouldn't let them come very close or far from the entrance to the room before he raised the sheathed blade, pointing it at Blake and company. "That's far enough." The man would say lowering the sword if he were listened to. "What is there to accomplish here? You should be home, enjoying your honey moon." |

Blake would stop before raising an eyebrow, turning back to face Virgil.
"What's a honeymoon?"

The Frost King would put a hand over his face at the unexpected nature of the reaction to what he said. Virgil would look around as Quinn chuckled to himself, holding his stomach a bit.
"A honeymoon generally is a celebration following a marriage. Can last from one night, to a whole month. Some cultures use it to consumate the marriage with sex as a style of claimant between the spouses."
Quinn would clap a hand on Blake's shoulder.
"Aye lad. Congrats on the marriage! Bwahahaha!"

He was unsure what the laughter is about, but he nodded.
"Thank you." His attention snapped back to the ice king, however.
"You are the first of this land to know of me. Do you truly not know why I am here?"

The Frost King would lower the hand from his face and look back at Blake finally.
"Knowing who you are is trivial to knowing the thoughts behind the man. I can make assumptions sure, deductions based on what I believe. We are two different people. I'd rather not assume. Besides, nothing says we can't talk before our inevitable battle over our clashing beliefs."

"I am here to destroy the binding of Valto Naara from this land. I gave my word to Lady Alicia, and I will remind Valto that he is a man and can be bloodied. I can not tolerate his attempts to eradicate my people from the face of the earth and to steal our homes. I am here, even if it cost me my life to show everyone that we can defend our homes, our people, and the soul of our people from any who would try to steal them from us."
He took another step toward the Ice King.
"You come from what was once Australia where he united it under his control, and since then have joined him to conquer other lands if I am not mistaken. I wish to know if you truly believe him to be worthy of ruling the world as he sows chaos, only to swoop in and fix the problems he creates. Or if you simply follow because you lost your home and it's soul to him."

"Tch."
The Frost King would look to the side as he made his noise between his teeth. He gripped the sword handle and looked back at Blake.
"I am honor bound to work with him and accomplish his goals. What I believe matters very little. As you say, I must act for my people. As you must act for yours. I will tell you this much. If he ever wished to eradicate your land, he would and there would be no stopping him. Valto is a man and he knows this, but he is a powerful man, and his power gives him certain rights in his mind. To rule all people and make choices for the future of the world. He wants your people to live, but he also wants them tested. At least that is what I assume."
The Frost King would hold the blade at his hip like a swordsman since Blake decided to take a step closer he wasn't going to take chances.
"Coming here to remove his hold is only an annoyance for him. He will return and bind it again, this act is a practice in futility."

"And you are willing to die to prevent this apparent futile inconvenience for him? To have your people above die to prevent it?"

The Frost King would nod.
"That is our task, the duty lay out before us. Protect his claim. Even if it is a minor inconvenience it would be against my code to allow you to just do as you please to go against his plans."

"A final question then. What becomes of you and your people should I succeed?"
