Redcap thought for a moment about the wolf’s words. Faith, good or otherwise, was not something that the Redcap’s dealt with really. “What does wolf want Redcap to give for this faith?” The goblin asked. If it what the wolf wanted was not to much then maybe he would comply.
The female fairy did not really respond for a second, seemingly thinking about what she was going to say next. However, before she could a young boy fairy flew up and asked, “who are those people with you, and who’s the baby?” It was clear that not everyone there was like the female. Some never knew the forest, or the king, and were just curious.

Revelation watched the boy fly up and he smiled gently when asked about his family and Helix. "Well, young one, this baby is my son Sprig. He's not exactly a baby by the standards of his birthplace but to us he would be. Sprig is about three years old." He said, gently turning Sprig to see the boy. He then glanced to Lulu and back to the young fairy. "And this is my wife Lulu. She's actually a princess from the Kingdom." He added. "And the big brute right there is Helix. He's one of my best friends from even when we were your age." Revelation responded.

The lad turned his head to the side and asked, “If that lady is your wife, and your king, doesn’t that make her a queen?” As he said this the crowd burst into murmurs. They didn’t expect to see their king, let alone find out they now have a queen and prince.

Revelation listened to the boy and then looked around when everyone started to murmur amongst themselves. "Yes I suppose that would be true, young one. Though, only if you and the other fairies here still want to call me king. I don't deserve it, and I'm only a king if you all say I am." He responded. He then looked back to the crowd. "I know a lot of you are upset with me. And are upset that the Great Tree of the forest was destroyed. However I can tell you that the Tree has still not forsaken me or our people." He said, extending his arm to the side, where Galaross appeared in his hand. "My sacred weapon, forged from the Great Tree itself, still exists and I still wield its power." He said. "And fear not! For at least one of the branches of the Tree had been kept safe. It is currently being nurtured and is growing in the Garden of the castle for this very kingdom!" He said, hoping to dissuade at least some of the people's fears.

The female fairy and everyone else looked in shock at their king as they mentioned the great tree regrowing. They thought that such a thing was impossible. A few wondered if he was just flat out lying. Gallia flew forth and said, “We have heard our king, and he has brought us much good news and apologized for his foolishness. I leave it to you, shall we welcome him and his family back as our monarchs? Speak now if you wish to deny them their throne and be heard.” As she said this no one said anything. It would seem the consensus was that they would be accepted, for now at least.

Revelation watched as everyone seemed to at least tolerate the idea of himself and his family becoming their leaders. He smiled a little bit and stood, or floated rather, more proudly. "I would like to sit down with everyone here to listen to your stories, and what you would like our gathered group to look like moving into the future. I especially want to speak with, and apologize to, those who were living in the Great Forest during the time of destruction centuries ago." He said. Looking to Lulu for a moment. "Is there anything else anyone would like to say?" He asked, looking back to the crowd.

Luna ponders his words wondering what the Redcap could do for them. "Perhaps you can spy on certain people and relay the message back to us." She suggested.

Jay looked to Luna as she spoke up and he nodded slightly. "That's one option. Especially after this matter is resolved." He responded. He then looked back to Redcap. "As to prove you have this proof, anything will do. If you have a written letter with the Noble's seal or signature, cover up the important parts and let us read the main part of the letter. If you have a possession of the noble with their insignia, show us that but cover the insignia itself." The king responded calmly. "Just enough that we can verify you have what you say you do."

Lulu looked at her husband, and then at he crowd of fairies that now looked at her. Thinking for a moment she looked at her new subjects and said, “The only thing that I can add is that I promise that even though I was not born a fairy I promise to do my best to reclaim your lost land and protect you all to the best of my ability.”
Redcap pullout the sack he was given by the human who first made a deal with him. It show d the insignia of the noble that had attacked the capital. “The human who Redcap made deals with is one who bears this sign. Human give Redcap this to take whelps, and but shadow stone under little fairy bed.”

Selene smiled as she gave William a slight nudge and said, "Sir William for you I would be more than happy guide your way." Slowly she started to guide the knight to one of the many rooms she and her niece used to store their magic books and items. As she walked a slight blush appeared on her face. "Now your desire to magic wouldn't be for any other reason would it?" While he understood that he more than likely just wanted to grow as a person, but she couldn't help but hope maybe she was another reason he wanted to learn her craft.

Jay looked at the object that Redcap produced and he quickly looked it over from where he was sitting. He had a number of ideas on who could be the perpetrator but he wasn't completely sure. "Alright, Redcap. Now how much did this 'contractor' give you? And how much would it cost us for you to turn over their name?" He asked. ((Scover, watching Selene and William from the void: "just kiss already!" ))

Redcap looked at the king wolf curious for a moment, not knowing how to respond. He then remembered that the humans and wolves that they have names outside of what they are. "Redcap no know human name, Redcap's have no individual names so forget human and wolf tradition. For lack of human name Redcap only ask wolf to match human promise."

Luna bites the inside of her cheek. She couldn't believe the duke would stoop so low as to ask a goblin to do his dirty work for him. Then again, he wasn't above using anything to get whatever he wanted. The castle was going to need a few more safeguards.

Jay blinked once. He had meant that by 'name' the item in his hand that had the nobles Crest. But he wouldn't turn down managing to bring down the price. He just nodded slightly. "You have yourself a deal, Redcap. What was said price?" He asked, needing to know what to provide to Redcap.
((Or did you mean when he held up the item of the Noble's, that Jay should have been able to see the crest?))

The sack has the nobles crest on it, and just it should have been where Jay could have seen it. Sorry about that.)
Redcap gave a nod before saying, "For whelps the human offered me ten barrels of shinnies. Human speak of the eyes, how much power human would have once eyes were taken. Redcap no know what special about whelps eyes, but Redcap cares not," he said with a shrug.

Jay's eyes widened at the mention of how large the amount Redcap was paid was. "Could you show me how big these barrels were? In our tongue a 'barrel' comes in a variety of sizes. So I want to make sure I give you what you want and not less." Jay responded, understanding that Redcap didn't know exactly why he was hired.
Scover was standing out in the hallway, fists clenched as he barely restrained himself for blasting his way into thee room. How could uncle Jay give into thr goblins demands?! After a moment he just ran away from the door, not caring where he was going. He just wanted to be away from that room.

Redcap shook his head and said, “Redcap no can do that, for Redcap no complete job yet for human. No get shinnies until job done and eyes belong to human.” The goblin opened the bag and pulled two of the bags of shinnies he got from the metal man and stacked them on top of each other. In total the size was just a small bit taller than him. Pointing at the sacks he said, “That size of promised shinnies human offer Redcap for whelps, or just eyes he told Redcap he not care which.”

Jay watched as Redcap displayed what the Noble promised him for the job. "I see. Well ensure you get such compensation." He responded, making a note on a piece of parchment with instructions, then pressing his signet ring into the page on a wax seal. He then handed it to one of the guards as rds and instructed them to take it to the treasury. Once the guard left, Jay leaned forward and rested his elbows on the desk. "Now then, Redcap. While we're waiting for your payment, I believe there's some additional business we can discuss." He responded. "If we were to pay you for any further information like you just provided us, would you do so? Any further Joba that involve our family? We'd keep your information secure so no one knows you're working for us. You also wouldn't need to get your hands needlessly dirty. It would be guaranteed shinies, upfront and you wouldn't need to do the task. I'm sure some of your group or you yourself were scammed out of promised shinies. Or someone at least tried at some point." He said. "And then maybe, down the line, we can get you and your group to do... jobs for us in exchange for shinies like you currently do."

Redcap watched as one of the metal men left to go bring him the shinnies he is owed for the information. Sitting on the ground he turned his attention back to the wolves. "Few try and cheat Redcap's, many tried and many die. Only ones who still try are elves, they look down on all types of Goblin, especially one called Valker." Snapping his finger he said, "Redcap recall now, Elf there with human. He one to introduce us." As he said this a scowl appeared on his face. "As for Redcaps working for wolves, what have in mind?" he asked inquisitively.

Luna bites the inside of her cheek. Did Valkner really hate them that much? Would the duke even want to work with the elf? They could be using each other but she found this whole situation troubling. "You could go back and spy on them or report back to them with false information."

Redcap looked at the female wolf with a raised brow. Go back to the human that hired him and spy on him? "Female wolf, Redcap will not return to human. For if Redcap does then human kill Redcap. Redcap will however, spy on human from safe distance." he compromised. Pointing at Luna he asked, "Why did mention of Elf make wolf tense, and why this place smell like magic item Redcap gave Elf?"

“Oh, I see,” Selene said, a frown spreading across her face. She knew that this was more than likely the case, but it still kinda made her sad. Trying her best to muster a smile she said, “Well I am very pleased to have then honor of helping you grow through the use of magic.”

"We aren't on very good terms with that elf." Luna takes a small step towards Redcap. "What does the magic smell like and what item did you give the elf?" Was this bigger than they realized?

“Redcap was once made deal with elf to steal magic scorpion from fellow elves. Scorpion pulse with evil magic that smell of rotten meat, but Redcap did as Redcap promised and brought to elf.” The Redcap goblin said as the female wolf moved closer to him. With a sigh he then said, “Redcap can feel same evil from scorpion in wolf den, but no know why.”

((Should Scover come back to Valex or maybe run into Selene and William?))
Jay's eyes narrowed at the mention of the scorpion artifact and his fists clenched for a brief moment before relaxing again. He had to continue reminding self Redcap wasn't aware of everything he had done that had a direct impact against their family and against the nation. He took a couple deep breaths before looking back to Redcap. "That artifact you gave him, he implanted it directly into the body of one of the boys he later told you to kidnap, or capture their eyes." He responded, voice bordering on restrained anger. "He corrupted the artifact, and used it to punish the young boy. He then used it to try and attack us, the boy's adopted parents, and use him as a living tool. That elf is pure evil." The king responded slowly. "He was willing to sacrifice the life of the boy he had under his care, just because that boy wanted to have a life of his own, and we gave him that ability." The king continued. "We don't blame you for anything you did to give him that artifact, Redcap. I just wanted you to know how it came to this." He said, motioning to the three of them talking.
