"I understand." Savorin spoke, obviously a little saddened by the fact that he couldn't get all the answers that he wanted, but he still spoke with respect and dignity. "May the spirits of the lost kinds guide you upon a favorable path." Savorin spoke again, with a slight hint of reverence before taking his leave. From how she spoke to him, it was obvious that the "elf," as she called herself, was a busy one.

It was this momentary separation from curiosity that reminded Savorin of what he was sent here for, to determine what the best course of action for the zarc was, whether it be peace, war, or removing the isolation that has kept them alive for so long. Such an analysis was not something that just one zarc could do, but it was his job to bring back the information for the Council to make the most effective decision.

Savorin looked up and around. He needed to know where the center of the government was. From his understanding, the humans where centralized in their way of thinking, something that made his job much easier. That was when he finally spotted the castle. It was a great mass of stone, a real sign to the humans' willingness to only look at their own benefit when they acted, something Savorin had yet to understand.

The zarc moved again among the crowd, forcing himself to ignore the majority of his curiosity. He could sate it later, but he needed to identify the humans level of technology and mentality, both would normally be discoverable from the point of centralization of an empire. In this case, the castle.

Finishing the walk with focus and a clear objective took little time for Savorin at all, mainly because the crowds parted for him. Upon reaching the castle, Savorin noted that unlike the gates to the city the castle's gates were made of very detailed wood, with some metal thrown in artistically.

"Halt, Lizard." The royal guard shouted. His regal armor and weapon showed great status, just as his stance showed experience, and his voice, loyalty. This startled Savorin, causing him to take a semi-aggressive stance in response, only to calm down when he noted that the guard had not drawn his weapon. "What business do you have at the castle?" The guard responded, calming down as well. Savorin stepped closer to the guard, this time he was moving much slower, as to not set the guard back to aggression.

"I am an Observer of the Peross tribe. I have come in the interest of the zarc to bring light to the world's current state, so that the Council can decide on whether or not to renew many ancient treaties with the Empire of Valon." Savorin said, not phasing the guard who hailed him, but surprising the noticeably younger guard who still stood at the gate.

The younger guard walked up, speaking before his much more well mannered co-guardsmen. "What are you, lizard? A super-genius of your kind?" The younger guard spoke with a grin like that of someone who believed they were the smartest creature in the world. Savorin simply responded by turning quickly towards the younger guard, raising his hand that wore his casting gauntlet and held his spear, and replied with "Do not underestimate your opponents. They may be more advanced than you." This time, Savorin let the nasally and hiss like natural form accent of the zarc. This surprised the young guard even more, and left him with one hell of a look of defeat. The older guard smiled, before saying "You may enter."
