Though the sylvians object to so much as allowing her to speak, she is granted the right to appear before them. She explains that while debate over the fate of the prisoners has been raging, the question of the fate of the vampire-descended white-maned families has also been conducted, mostly internally amongst themselves. As their elected spokesperson, she proposes that she and her family, along with the demon-spawn, be exiled. She speaks about how even though her blood is tainted, she and her father's family and their parenthood have only ever fought for the greater interests of the civilization. She and her family volunteer to be the wardens of the half-demons, removing both them and themselves from society. They will create a place where prisoners may be sent, and in this place will she and her descendants keep watch over these malcontents.
Flying upon the back of her dragon, she has discovered islands to the north. There is no easy escape from these places, and she and her kin are prepared to make a sacred vow to dedicate their lives and the lives of their children to forever becoming the wardens of such an isle. She wishes so desperately to help her mother country, and if removing herself and her kin from it is the best way she can do so, she will bear the burden. She and her dragon will even survey the islands to determine which would be best upon which to base this land of exile.
Once she is done speaking, debate rages once more. Should exile be considered? If someone is condemned to the islands, and they should escape, how should it be known? They could be branded, and killed if the brand is seen upon the mainland. What of castration? They shouldn't be sent off to some place and allowed to breed uncontrollably. How will the descendants of the half-vampires breed? Are we to send them supplies and women? Are we to adopt these new wardens as an official organization within our society, and allow people to pledge themselves to the cause, take the same oath, and be sent to the island to watch over our criminals?
What is to be done?
