Dull footfalls marked Darius' passage; approaching the Council Chambers always made him feel a little apprehensive but selfishness and a desire to grow pushed him onwards.
The huge double doors swung over at a touch and Darius moved to the rooms centre; bowed low and cleared his throat.
"Honoured Council, I have a request. As you know, my initial training was to be undertaken by Lord Darkstar and for that I was immeasurably grateful, but recently milord Darkstar has been regretfully occupied and as a result my training has lapsed somewhat,"
Pausing, Darius sought a quick way out of his downward verbal spiral, he decided a blunt exit was needed
“I request that a new master be assigned to continue my training; in all things I await your decision.”
