3rd person POV:

The four rulers looked at the other with shocked looks. "Wait your willing to come with us!?" fWhip said.

"Look if it really was any other problem I probably wouldn't but Xornoth is no joke. Plus this is a opportunity to open up my kingdom to the world again" Scott said still sounding serious but not serious enough that he sounded scary.

"Well I guess that would be a good thing, and nothing really bad comes out of trading " Gem commented.

"Yah, but when do we leave? Like it takes  a awhile to get out of the forest. And with an army with us it'll take even longer." Jimmy said adding to Gem.

"I don't know how to explain this, but there won't be a army of soldiers coming back with us." Scott said scratching his neck while looking away from the others.

"I'm sorry .... WHAT!!!!" fWhip yelled, while being held back by Jimmy to stop him from doing something stupid. While the three other were speechless, stunned by the elf king's words.

Scott didn't seem to be the type to have an ego that would get in the way of making good decisions about the future of his kingdom. And as well as he said himself that Xornoth was not a joking matter. So to the other rulers, it seemed to be a confusing thing for Scott to said.

"I'm sorry what do you mean by that." Jimmy said while holding fWip back still, though fWip wasn't trying to get away and attack Scott it was better to be safe than sorry.

"Sorry I didn't mean to offend or alarm anyone, but I will only bring a small handful of soldiers. This is because Xornoth can't but harm by a normal army of any species. Xornoth can only be harmed or killed with the help of the god Aeor." Scott said seemingly to be going back to how he was when they first came to his house, more clam and relaxed.

"Well how do we get their help?"

Scott seemed to pause at the question. Seeming to mentally plan his next words through before answering the question. But after a few moments he bit his lip and sighed.

"Due to restrictions on this particular subject and the situation we are currently facing right now I sadly cannot afford to explain how, but know that if we all play are cards right peace may be on the horizon. However I cannot and will not make any promises." Scott said as his eyes shot ice down into the others hearts as he spoke. But once he was done speaking his aura seemed to shift back into the more naturally calm and relaxed one.

"Your help is more than enough Scott and we are all so grateful for it." Shubble said doing a quick bow. "Though can i ask when we will leave."

"I would like to leave as soon as possible. The clock is ticking down to stop Xornoth and we don't have time to wast. However I still need to get my man to ready and make sure my kingdom will be safe as well. So I will bring you all to somewhere to stay for the time being until we leave." Scott said seeming to be a lot more relaxed now as he was now running his fingers through his hair.

"Seems fair enough for me. We'll leave as soon as Scott and his men are ready. But for now do you think you could maybe show us where we're going to be stay for now." Said The Cod Father now stepping out from behind fWip making it so he could see Scott better as not to be rude.

"Of course of course, I'll also pay for it too so don't worry about needing to pay. Come on now let's get you all sorted out in a nice comfy, relaxing room for you guys to stay in for now."  Scott said as he walked pass the other rulers opening the doors as the other rulers quickly moved to follow closely behind the elf as they were ready for the first warm soft real bed they have slept in for about two weeks, which they were ready for.
