Kulrath lifted both hands to show that he was unarmed and took one step forward.
"My name is Kulrath." he started. "And these are my companions at the moment."
He mentioned each one of them by name as he pointed at them.
"We seek out the elf king. A few days ago we were attacked by faeries, but we have no idea why. One of the faeries we managed to catch told us that the elf king knows. I don't know what the elf king is supposed to know, but we would like an audience with him to find out."

Coroloatan face got red with anger the movement Kulrath pointed at him and said his real name "IDIOT! DIDN'T I TELL YOUN OT TO MENTION MY REAL NAME TO THE ELFS?! NOW WE NEVER GET TO MEET THE ELF KING!"

Kulrath looked at him and shrugged.
"You never told me what to call you." he said. "Besides, if you're so upset over it you can wait outside while those of us who is interested in finding out the truth goes inside there to meet the king."
He looked over at the elven guard.
"Will you bring us to the king?"

Corolatan sighed "Once a fool, always a fool..." he looked up at Kulrath and said "Two things: It's not that I won't go in there, it's that I CAN'T they never let me in knowing who I am, if you haven't forgot, I originate from this dimension and don't you think I made enemies here? Secondly, you todl them your own name, now I mean to remember you chasing away some elfs awhile back, don't think that has gone unreported."

The guard says, "wait here," and goes back into the safehold. She emerges again and says, "You may all enter. You who falsely call yourself Coraloatan, know this: the real Coraloatan disappeared months ago, and is presumed dead." Coraloatan remembers that that was when he became a planeswalker. As for Kulrath, he never mentioned his name to the elves, so they don't know who he is.

The large wooden gate slowly swings open as the guard walks back inside again. Inside, elves of all ages walk, and talk, and sit, and play in the beautiful gardens - the first beautiful thing you've seen on this world, and probably the last as well.
The guard stands near the gate. "Whenever you're ready to see the king and queen, speak to me. I'll be waiting here."

Coroloatan looked at the others and waited to see what they would do. Everyone else looked at each other.
Some time later
Everyone just kept staring at each other and Coroloatan though to himself "Interesting, each one of these are waiting for the others to respond by doing something, well, better get comftable as I'm gonna have to stand here for a while." then Coroloatan sat down at the ground making himself comftable as he observed his companions actions down to the smallest move.

Kulrath thought. He didn't know yet how to ask the elf king about Oona, but since he was the only one seemingly interested in doing something about it he had to take responsibility. He watched Coroloatan sit down and sighed. At least he was dependable in battle, Kulrath thought.
"Alright, since no one else wishes to say anything I will do it." he motioned to the guard. "Bring us to the king." he said.

"As you wish."
The guard leads you through the winding safehold streets, eventually reaching a large, elaborate palace covered in green and brown plants and foliage. The guard knocks on the enormous bronze gate, and the door opens.
You step inside. The guard leads you through more passageways than you could ever remember, and another large door leads to the throneroom, upon the two thrones of which sit the King and Queen.
"Honored guests, we have awaited your arrival. Please make yourselves comfortable."
A few chairs are brought for you.
"You make the first move... but may you be warned that this game is deadly."
A sinister air surrounds the royalty.

Kulrath seat himself and waits until his companions have done the same. He eye the room, trying to remember the way out. He couldn't. His eyes locked on the kings' and he rose.
"Mylord." he bowed to the king. "Mylady." and bowed to the queen. "I wish the circumstances of our meeting could be more peaceful, although I don't even know the circumstances, actually. You seem to know far more than me about this. Me and my companions here."
He named them again, and pointing at them, ignoring the dark look he got from Coroloatan.
"We met, under rather random circumstances, and were attacked by a swarm of faeries, lead by Oona's liege or something like that" He paused and transformed into it. "Something like this." he said, and turned back into an elf again. He thought he saw a flicker of a smile at the kings' lips, but it were gone before he could be sure. "One of the faeries said, under pressure and threats, that you knew."

Coroloatan studied the every move of everyone in the room "Know your enemy..." he though "Keep one step ahead of them, and two step ahead of your allies" he heard the word "pressure and threats" and stood up "Pressure and threats you say?! What's that for a word, we just pulled of it wings and I wanted to eat it! That's not much of pressures and threats. Ohh and then there was this strange mage we met on the way here, what was it called again...hmmm...Well, it looked like this" Coroloatan transformed himself into the dominus  "...and before that it was this;"  "...but the latter escaped when the dominus showed up" Coroloatan sat down looking at Kulrath and said "You already blew our cover so I just go along and show them who I am"

Kulrath smiled mockingly.
"If we shall win anything we have to be honest. No secrets can be kept for the elven king." he sighed. "The big white thing took control over me for some time, I suppose it's an avatar creature. I wonder why they might be after us. I hope you could give us answers."

"You tell me what I know already. My gratitude, though, for your showing us exactly how much you know. Does the term 'Planeswalker' mean anything to you?"
You are all stunned. It is an unspoken rule among Planeswalkers that Non-Planeswalkers must not be made aware of their presence. It is also near-impossible for Non-Planeswalkers to detect planeswalkers.

"I know of these creatures, king. Excuse my ill-manner, but I am after all a machine. I fear their power and cruelty, I've heard that they call creatures from other worlds. I met one once, but managed to run and seek cover."

Kulrath frowned and tried to remember what he had been told as a child. There were a few who knew of the planeswalkers, and the king of the Cinder-people he had lived with were one of them. He had been told about them as young, though not much and never their true power.
"A planeswalker is a powerful mage, able to travel across the planes of existence. Only those with a rare and innate ability called the "planeswalker spark" can become planeswalkers. Only one individual in a million is given the spark. Even then, they must "ascend", which usually occurs spontaneously during a time of great stress so extreme that it might be in form of death. This ascension, as well as the extraordinary amount of power at their fingertips, drives almost all planeswalkers insane over time. In an attempt to prevent this, most planeswalkers are tutored by older ones."
He shook his head and looked at the Queen, then continued.
"A planeswalker has complete control over his or her physical appearance, and does not physically need to eat, drink, sleep, or even breathe. Planeswalkers are very difficult to kill and can't die of natural causes such as being stabbed or even dismembered. While the brain still exists, a Planewalker still has the ability to trasverse the many planes, can regenerate and shapeshift at will, and can stay alive for millennia upon millennia—and, of course, perform magical activity."
He gave the king and queen a quick unsure smile.
"I grew up with a wise man, he told me everything he knew. I don't know anything about where I come from, but hope that whatever happens might reveal it to me. Do you know if what I told you is true or if it's not? Maybe add up some information?"
Kulrath's voice just barely managed to hide the excitement he was feeling about this new knowledge he might get.

Coroloatan listened to all the others had to say, but when the king started talking about planeswalkers Coroloatan was a bit surprised, but he could understand that it would be highly likely that the king knew. Corolotana sat down and heard his companions speak, every single move he had to study. Coroloatan laughed quietly "To think I took his majesty for an old fool..."

"So you are the visiting planeswalkers... Interesting. I would have expected a more impressive entrance. But, you show wisdom by remaining unnoticed. You see, this is secretly Oona's world, her jealously guarded plane. She controls it from the shadows. But, planeswalkers are not native to this world, so she is forced to be more subtle when dealing with them. How I learned all this... should remain undiscussed. Anyway, I propose an alliance between your party and my kingdom. Neither of us, I believe, are happy with Oona's tyranny and absolute rulership here. Do you agree?"

Kulrath gave the elven king a quick hard smile.
"You can count on me at least." he said. "But the others have to decide for themselves."

Coroloatan felt the need to stand up "Hey, this is my home plane, I can't say no to defend it!"

"Good! we may begin plans- oh, yes, I forget you consider this machine intelligent. What does it have to say for itself?"
