A silence fell upon those present in the Council chambers as the Warrior Taja Loraan made her entrance - unannounced, and certainly not summoned by of her superiors. Her brisk steps the only disruption to the quiet, she knelt down before the Empire's leaders.
The expressions on their faces said enough. "Prestigious Council Members, I apologize profusely for my unexpected interruption here this day. However, I feel it is my duty to inform you of my decision now before matters progress any further.
"As a result of certain matters which have arisen, at this moment I must, with your permission, take my leave of the Empire. I am unsure as to when my path shall again cross with that of this faction of Darkness, and my circumstances at time of the encounter."
"Regarding my training," her face frozen and solemn, Taja's eyes briefly scanned the room to sight the one in question, "I humbly request to continue tutelage under the guidance of Lordess Mal Pannis, if it be her wish."
Having spoken, she lowered her head to touch the ground.
