Perhaps he had more charisma than he had thought of himself but Kyrel seemed to had won the Queens of Arri over. Well, mostly everyone. He did have to take into account the youngest of the sisters whose mouth got her into trouble and she had to carried out by her husband. The remaining ones did side with his venture so it appeared to be a go. “Thank you. I will proceed with the excavation in two days time.” He especially gave a nod to Cathrine, who seemed excited with the prospect of travel and exploration. “None of you will be disappointed”, he said to them all but his eyes were still on the eldest sister. When he realized he was doing it for a bit longer than necessary, he shook himself free and bowed to them before collecting his things and prepared to head back to get ready.

For the next two days, he was hard at work continuing to pinpoint the surrounding area and estimating the time to look for it. Half a day’s time it seemed to him. Kyrel worked tirelessly except for when Cathrine wanted his audience. He was even able to met with her daughters Liz and Crystaline which he shared the news of having their mother come with him. They too seemed to share her reaction and could stop talking about it.

When the day arrived, he packed his newly gained horse well with equipment, maps and food. He was dressed in a loose light colored shirt and trousers; a much smarter choice than what he had wore when he first crossed through the desert. Taking a quick swig of water from his canteen, he awaited at the front of the Purple Rose Mansion for the queen to get ready herself.
