The Legend of Saironelloistya [COMPLETED]

Chapter 7: The Case of The Ultimate Trial Of Saironleistya

 The three of them, Herulepilin, Aranellevanima, and Saironellotoron, all left the room while I dressed myself, after arguing with my friend that they should not uncover my nakedness; although to their claim, they already had for medical checkups. I pulled on the white robe that was set aside for my trial, and put on the "laurea" or "Golden, as in color or light" shoes that were left for me. These two articles of clothing were important because they symbolized status in the court. The white cloak showed purity and innocence, to symbolize that I was innocent until proven guilty, while the golden shoes symbolized the righteousness of my path. As I finished getting ready, I realized I had never asked the results of Aranellevanima's, and Saironellotoron's trials. I rapidly walked out the door, and exited, to where my friends and master were waiting.for me, as we began to walk, with my master slightly ahead, and my friends on each side of me, with Aranellevanima on my left, and Saironellotoron, on my right. I requested of my friends, "How did your challenges go?"

"Simply put, we succeeded, but that should not be what you focus on immediately." Saironellotoron issued. I looked at him with astonishment, due to his normally facetious nature. Reorganizing my thoughts, I asked my master "So who will be on the Council?"

"The other eight councilmen and councilwomen. There will be Aranellevanima's master, Heruellomornie(Lord or Darkness), the necromancer, and a wise and fair woman as well. There will also be Heruellonarynen(Lord of Fire And Water) The Evoker, he is hard set once his decision is made, and nothing will sway it There will be Toqohinmunta,(Come forth from nothing) the Conjurer, able to be easily swayed, but she will instinctively vote against Heruellonarynen. Next, comes Gollorelloleilurambar(Magician of The Walls of The World) the Abjurer, who can hold much sway in the council, so if you can convince her, you should win, or at least tie the vote. To the right of her will be Saironellotoron's master, Heruevavista(Lord Of Change) the transmuter, who will vote for you for my own and his apprentice's sake. To his right will be Nimloth, the enchantress..."

"Nimloth! As in the enchantress from my challenges?" I interrupted, thinking back on our meeting.

"Yes" Herulepilin continued "and she will be swayed towards you due to the kindness you showed her during your challenge, and also by the respect, she has for you due to your logical thinking. Opposite of her, will be Heruevafairëindemmar(Lord of The Phantom Mind Picture)the illusionist, who is capable of manipulating people, and finally Heruellohandë(Lord Of Knowledge), she will actually answer the trial, using divination, and truth is often the most powerful factor in a trial."

"Thank you master" I responded politely, but he shook his head.

"I am a fan of formality," he quipped "but you and I are more than just master and apprentice, we are friends." With that, and a quick cliche good luck conversation with Saironellotoron, and Aranellevanima, we all took our seats.

"Saironelloistya, you stand before us, eight, to be tried, and we pray, found successful, in your endeavor to complete your trials, in this trial. How do you plead? " Heruellohandë rhetorically quested

"My Lady, I regret to inform you that I choose to plead successful, in this case of my Challenge. May I please present my case?" I responded for the record

"Not yet," Nimloth respectfully explained "first the prosecution must issue it's case, before you may defend against it. It is the logical route for this trial to take, as you cannot counterattack a case without knowing what you are arguing against." She smiled to reassure me.

"My sincerest apologies, I did not think my request through. May I be seated?" I apologized

"You may, but remain attentive. I would be displeased if the just nature of this court was compromised by an inherent sense of laziness" Heruellomornie ordered
