Seren
One by one they trickled in. Family, friends and well known faces, alongside those whom she only recently had become aware of thanks to the tournament. Seren had a smile and a soft welcome for all of them. Leaning into her father's kiss and meeting Sah's gaze for a moment longer than perhaps was necessary, she waited until they all had settled in before the starchild turned to answer Melita.
"I know, I would have preferred to tell you all more in the letter, but it seemed imprudent." A flicker somewhere in the air, followed by a pungent, peculiar odor had her nose wrinkling and she rubbed it, unsettled by something she couldn't place. "Unfortunately I don't think it's wise to commit too much to paper these days. Who knows what will happen if they go astray? But you all came anyway, and I am so very grateful that you did."
Drawing a deep breath, Seren sat up a bit better, so she could properly see the others. "The reason is this; my mother found something when she fought the ones who fell with the meteor. And I would like to ask each and all of you two things. Do you want to know about it, and become involved with this matter? And if you do, do you have any suggestions on what to do with it?"
Her expression was kind when she turned her gaze to the assembled; noticing the discomfort on some faces, and the glares directed at the lighthouse on others. "I would never wish to exclude anyone from this matter, but neither will I force anyone to participate in something that might become dangerous. Please choose for yourselves if you want to stay or leave. I will think no less of you regardless of your choices."

I'm ready to start the conquest of spaces
Reaching the starlight and silver fields
