"I could make the pact with you and then terminate it? I'm not sure if I'd be able to override Xorius's magic though.."
"That's his name? And I'm not sure, let's just get that pact with you first, if it'll work."
Atemos nodded. “Did you sign a contract when you made the pact or was it a blood oath with a handshake?”
"Well he blocked my way & we shook hands, because I didn't want to die."
*Atemos trying to figure out how to terminate Xorius’s pact.*
*Good luck.*
*Would Valian have the details of the contract known to him? If not, would Identify reveal the details or does it not count as a spell?*

She nods "Hes kind. He actually helps people. Unlike them, hes no killer. And he doesnt think himself greater than others"
Soldaer smiles. "That is true of more nobles than you think, E. Szaren is not a once-in-a-lifetime example of that. You've had bad dealings with corrupt ones, but many aren't corrupt." He smiles wryly. "Including myself, E. Yes, I am a noble, and have had dealings with the corrupt ones before. Even helped dethrone a couple." He chuckles. "Soldaer Torrae, crown prince of the Twilight Elves. That is who I am, and you never even knew it."
She seems... Surprised, but is mostly keeping calm "Then... Youre being lied to by the people of your same status. I KNOW what things are like. Ive been on the streets. The parts they want ignored and glossed over. Ive lived what they lie about. Almost every noble is corrupt, murderous, and horrible"
Soldaer chuckles and shakes his head sadly. "You trust me, right E? Then let me show you. No, I'm not talking about a trip to my homeworld. I'm talking about letting you see my memories; my dealings with the other nobles."
"Remembering lies youve been told?"
"Not lies, and I won't hide any of it from you E. I know you well enough that you would find out if I hid or presented an altered memory to you."
"You wouldnt alter it... They would be lying to you within the memories"
"Don't underestimate the power of the mind, E. It is possible to alter what I show people, but I won't because I trust you, and I know you trust me, even after that rather shocking truth about myself." He chuckles and extends a hand. "What do you say, E? Will you allow me to show you the truth; that not all nobles are the horrible monsters you've believed?"
"Soldaer... I cant believe that. No matter what you show me, I cant believe lies such as that. Lies many are raised believing"
Soldaer snorts softly, then sighs, sitting back down. "Fine. Then let me tell you of the nobles of my people, at the least, of my parents, the ones who raised me to be as I am." Soldaer takes another drink before continuing. "My parents, the king and queen, have always been fair and just rulers. Yes, they acknowledge the power they wield, but never have they let it go to their heads. They walked among the common people regularly, and even know many by name, including their families. My mother is a powerful mage, and my father a fearsome warrior. They raised me to be a warrior to protect our people, but above all, to BE one of our people, and I'm not talking about being a noble. I mean to be a Twilight Elf, to be able to mingle with those who aren't noble as easily and as comfortably as those of nobility."
"And their secrets? You havent seen any of those yet?"
Soldaer looks straight into her eyes, his pale green eyes piercing. "E, there aren't any. There's no deep dark secrets, no skeletons in the closet. The biggest secret we have is that my father doesn't like meat." Soldaer laughs. "E, I'm a good judge of character, and you know that. I spent much of my life with my parents, so I had plenty of time to find those secrets. There aren't any."
"Everyone has secrets. Noble or not, theres always at least one thing we dont want anyone to ever find out. Everyone has darkness.... If someone doesnt seem like they do, theyre hiding it. Either unintentionally, or through lies and deceit."
"E... The only secret I really have kept is my identity as a noble because I don't like the attention it usually brings. My family is the same. We don't keep secrets, because such things can make people suspicious."
"Soldaer.. I understand not telling people your social class immediately. That, I can respect you for. But... Dont lie to me. We all have secrets. I have them... Every person has them. No real person is completely honest and transparent on everything."
"E, I have never lied to you about anything. I value your friendship too much to cheapen it by lying or keeping secrets from you."
*Feel free to roll insight.*
"... That doesnt mean youve said absolutely everything. Everyone has secrets. Everyone real has things only they know."
"I've told you the only secrets I really have, one, I do really like you, perhaps even love you, but I won't dare do anything to jeopardize our friendship. Two, I spilled my guts about the one other person I have ever fallen for back in Sigil. And three, I just told you my single biggest secret: my nobility."
"Soldaer... People are an iceberg. People all make mustakes and have some darkness... Youve never told me of what may be the darkest thing youve done. Your greatest mistake in life. Everyone has one.... Im not saying you should tell me, or that Id want to hear it currently, but.... Everyone has one"
Soldaer shakes his head. "E..." He starts, but pauses. "Hang on, we were talking about nobles, not me. How'd we get here? My nobility was it?" He shrugs. "No matter. My point still stands, even if you don't agree. Not all nobles are the horrible monster that Joshua was. You should at least meet them, especially considering we're trying to help Valitya, before you pass judgment, E."
"Me, a demon, man that'll be the day, wait would this count against my chances getting up, I'm still making a pact with a fiend, whatever no matter what it'll be better than my current situation."
"I could make the pact with you and then terminate it? I'm not sure if I'd be able to override Xorius's magic though.."

*TTB, Can he roll a history check to remember the details?*
