Janceel blinks as he looks at Jinx. While every bit the image he remembered, the change from the mage he knew to the priestess before him actually makes his mind hurt. Gritting his teeth, he brings his fingers up to massage his temples as he answers.
"There is a nasty piece of work who would like to make us an enemy. Nina is on that list, because I have found out this enemy would like nothing more to see her dead, as well as every other person I named."
D'Warri then focuses on Jinx, meeting her eyes.
"The moment they marked Nina, they signed their own death warrent. I figure as the others named have a reason to work with me, namely not dying, so we need to find them. Would you agree?"

Qwyn looks at the Duke for a long moment, pondering the weight of things over in his mind. While this could all be a dream as the last trick the Dark God used, some part of the spirit inside tells him to not act is wrong. Closing his eyes, he thinks back to lessons his teacher had given him long ago. As the last one passes through his mind, and the image of his shield touches his mind's eye, The Shield of Abriel looks once more at the Duke.
"I do as the light commands me. If I deny this task, I turn away from the duties Abriel has placed upon the order. I accept, and pledge I shall do my best to see to it your army stops him before any harm can be done."
