King Boristho nodded to each of the knights. When they were all sitting, he sighed.
"I have called you here for one purpose. As you all know, many years ago the Black Knight had left this order, and became our enemy. It has been in the last week that his tortures have gotten worse. Last night the Holy Grail was stolen, and a note left." the king pulled from a pocket in his wordrobe, a small piece of paper with writing on it.
"'I, the Black Knight, have taken the Grail out from under your nose. Years ago you denied me the right of a higher rank, now you shall pay with your lives,'" the King read the paper, then passed it to the knight on his left so it could be passed around the table so all could read.
"I called you, to ask you to go on a quest to get back the Holy Grail. Without it the people will see me a man not fit to be king, and the kingdom will fall apart. Who here are brave enough to go on this quest I ask of you?"

Turwaithiel took a large gulp of water and then looked at her king, sighing. "Chasing after the Black Knight will be dangerous and we will probably not make it back alive."

But, a small glimmer of excitiment was in Tur's eyes. She looked up to her leader and grinned.

"I'm in."

Arya stood, " I am also." She looked to Turwaithiel and gave her a small smile, then sat back down.

Branwen carefully read the note as it was passed to her, then passed it on to the next knight. She swallowed to clear her throat, then stood. "I'm in." She smiled a bit.

Helena took the note from Branwen and stood up "I shall come to," she said then sat back down.

Eruraina smiled, but stayed seated.
"I wouldn't be supprised if we all ended up volenteering. I accept it as a challenge. Let the Black Night try his best against us." she said, gulping down her red wine that she hadn't started drinking until that point...

Amoniel shifted in her seat. A small smirk played on her lips.
"Sounds like something I would do. You can count me as a part of this 'quest.'" She sat up straigher and surveyed her fellow knights.

"I will come. I am a Interrogator Chaplain of the Order, and no man will taunt me so. My spear is yours Lord." Marius said. " When do we start our hunt?"

Shiara looked over the short note left by the Black Knight. Dangerous, huh? She could handle danger. Living in the borderlands wasn't exactly a pile of sweets either. Setting her half-full goblet on the table, Shiara rose to her feet.

"I shall go too, m'lord." Her bow was that of the formal Malkierians, fist over heart and dipping the head. "The kingdom demands my services, I offer them willingly."

Turwaithiel grinned. "A good bunch of knights...." She muttered happily.

Well, what are we waiting for? We have nothing else to discuss, do we?
Marius bowed to those present and walked back to his room and armoury, to fetch his weapons, gear and supplies.

Marius Came back into the room, fully armoured with his spear and warknife by his side and his horse saddled up outside with supplies.
" Ready when you all are......"

Branwen also walked up, leading Gwyr. She had packed what she would need, put on her armor, and saddled her horse. "I am ready as well." she said.

Helena also got up, returning fully armed with her supplize and horse.

The King nodded, and left.

Eruraina left and went to her quarters. She cerimonally put on her silver armor, with the same design that was on her tapestry, on her breast plate. When she was all ready, she ran to the kitchen to get food supplies for herself, then to the stable. She put the supplies in a saddlebag.

Eruraina quickly groomed her horse, then put him in silver armor, slightly matching her own. It was light enough for much travel, yet hard enough to withstand battle.

Soon she went back into the room of the knights and waited for instructions for when to leave. And just then the King came back in.

"Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you. You leave at sunrise," he glanced at Eruraina, Marious, and Helena with a slight smile...
