Ryhart approaches the castle and walks up to a nearby Guard. '' Hello, I am Ryhart Creedence. I would like to offer my services to the Queen. Would I be able to consult her?" He says as he offers a Bow.

Ryhart recovered from his bow and said "So do you think it would be possible?"

The guards pointed towards the long corridor stretching into the castle. "Just follow the corridor and get one of the guards to escort you inside." Following the directions he found himself within the castle's gardens. A middle aged woman moved about, tending to the various flowers dressed in a flowing gown of blacks and whites. Upon the doors creaking closed she turned to face the visitor. "Ah welcome young one. I am Milicia, Queen of the Twilight Kingdom. Who might you be?"

"I am Ryhart Creedence, Weapon Master and Mercenary. I come from Earth in search of a contract, does you Majesty have any use for a man like myself?" He said with a quick bow.

"From Earth?" She pondered for a moment. "Then you are one of the Heroes aren't you? Wonderful." She moved towards him, eager to get a close look at the man. "It is good to meet you Ryhart. I must admit I was somewhat worried that the Heroes would not be able to help me as the war builds tension all around. Tell me, do you know of the situation we face? I trust the prophet has given you what you need to know." She looked the man over, and for a moment she couldn't help but think of Musashi.

"I know very little, who are these heroes that you speak of? I am not familiar with your Current Situation. I had a dream where man told me to come here, that is all I know..." He said with curiosity in his voice.

"Hmm, how odd. I had heard Yeligar made a point of inducting those that had come from the other world." She muttered to herself.
"Very well Ryhart. To put it bluntly our world is in peril due to the workings of an evil man called Trucido Damnedblood. He had lured the rulers of nearly all other kingdoms to his whim with the promise of power. He seeks to destroy our planet, and thus were you and many others called from the other world to help us battle this man."
"Truth be told I need strong allies more than ever, as my kingdom has chose to wage war with Trucido and his followers. If your dream called you here to aid me, I pray you are strong enough to face the road that lies ahead young Hero. Are you strong enough Ryhart?"

"Physically...yes. Mentally...yes...so what would my queen have me do?" He said and then got down on one knee.

"Please Ryhart, rise. I have no need for such behavior from the Heroes. For you to risk everything without any stake to my land, let me consider you an ally and not a servant." Yet Milicia knew it wasn't that easy. The others that had joined her had been either brought here by her own magic or had been openly associated with the Heroes. This boy was an enigma, and she needed to be sure he was the real deal.
"Ryhart, what is your field of expertise?"

"It is fairly dark, I was an Assassin. But I have left that trade. I am now a noble Mercenary who specializes in Armed, Hand to Hand Combat and..erm...the odd Assassination..." He said trying to hide the last part.

Why couldn't she shake it? Sure he looked older, his eyes had lost the youthful gleam with the experience he had gained. Yet she couldn't help but see Musashi in him. This man seemed lost in her world, guided by only a vague dream. It hadn't helped when he mentioned his skills. Donovan, Zeke, Andy; these warriors had shown incredible powers unseen in the world. She'd seen how far a blade, even wielded by a master truly got someone in her war. They didn't even have any remains to bury after the battle with Onyx.
Milicia couldn't hold in the feeling anymore, her face reflecting the uneasiness she felt. "Please understand Ryhart. The war I wage will bring you against monsters of men and women. Their power surpasses that of mere grace with a weapon. My soldiers go to the fields, ready to die because they believe in this kingdom. I can't ask that of a stranger to our lands."
"Ryhart, there is a woman that lives to the west of here, deep with the caves of the far off mountains. She has guided the Heroes that have come to this world. I believe your dream was right to guide you here, but I don't know if it was to place you at my side. Go visit her Ryhart; meet the other Heroes and learn what fate has placed you in. If, after that, you still wish to help me then know I shall welcome you without question."

"Yes my Queen." He turned and left the Castle.
