Agree to dance with Aknamar

From Create Your Own Story

Aknamar nearly leaps for joy at your response, and immediately gets you ready for the ball. For the first time since arriving, you leave the confines of the royal bed chambers and are taught various dancing steps. Though awkward, you do learn quickly. Clearly not the best dancer, you learn enough to look presentable.

At the night of the ball, you're wearing a highly fancy gown, fancier than anything you've ever worn before. You're also covered in makeup and fine jewelry. You are made up to impress, and you certainly will, you feel. You are kept out of sight for most of the ball, behind a curtain near the throne. You don't know why, but it must be for a reason. You're so nervous, you feel you could faint.

"Ladies and gentlemen." Aknamar announces. "Within all of your invitations, there was mention of a surprise for this evening. I'm sure you are eager to know what that is."

What's going on? You wonder.

"It has been nearly thirty years since my daughter and wife were taken from me." Aknamar continues. "Though I still grieve for them, after tonight, you will no longer need to grieve for me. For I have found someone. A beautiful flower. Whom I shall now introduce you to. Ronama." he says as he extends his hand to you.

• Go out and take Aknamar's hand
• This is too much, you faint from the strain
