The King lowers his eyes, as she steps closer. He could try teach her to control the taint... Allow her to stop it from breaking into her soul completely and turning her fully into a creature of the Isles. But... Should she be allowed to turn to something from the Isles, she would be drawn to stay upon the isles, without the threat of Demacia keeping her here.
He looks up to her eyes, his blue meeting with her her golden. "In order to control it... You must embrace it... Can you do that?" He would teach her how to control it, if she were capable.
I am the one who defied death. I am the one he fears. I am the on he can not take. One sweep of my hand and your nations will fall. Come for me you worms. You will all bow before my legions or be broken beneath us as we march upon your cities.

"Embrace it?" She said, a bit taken aback by the idea of embracing such an evil. What if she did? Would she become part of the Isles? Would it be stopped? She wanted to fight it. Every part of her wanted to rip it out and leave it behind in the darkness that is the Isles. But if she couldn't run, what choice might she have? Belle cupped her hands together, resting them center of her chest with a pained look on her soft features, "I.." Reluctantly, she paused in her steps with a shiver rushing up her spine.

The Ruined King simply nods, "Of course you have a choice. You can allow it to consume you, turn you into something no longer human, become a part of the Isles completely." He paused and raised a hand, a ball of black fire igniting in his palm, the intense black flames emitting a bone chilling coldness that seem to pierce through her physical body, "Or you can embrace it, tame it, control it and bend it to your will." He then crushed his fist closed, the fire snuffing out in the blink of an eye. The horrible cold disappearing within an instant with it.

Belle took a step back when the black flame would appear in his palm, causing her to look weary and completely uncertain. The cold tearing at her very being. Listening to his words, she regained her composure slightly.. A small nod following. The willow creaked again with strange, haunting moans as its strangely luminescent leaves would dance in the slight breeze. Belle seemed to consider for a moment, before stepping forward again, "Alright." She says softly, "I will.. embrace it.."
As she said this, her golden eye would shine vividly as the ebony and ivory armor seemed to strengthen visibly. Her eyes closed with a soft shiver, wrapping her arms around herself as if she might shake off the chill that had struck her. The phantom wings started to grow a little, but stopped still appearing newly developed and young. It would be some time before they might appear full grown.

The Ruined King nodded, his eyes looking towards the tree curiously, wondering just what it was exactly. It didn't seem to be like the rest of the garden... He would investigate some other time. Noticing her eye shimmer the king frowned, he would have to be cautious... He was unsure of just how powerful she was. The wings growing and her shivering caused him to almost reach out with a hand to reassure her... But lowered it before it reached even half way, "You will be fine. So long as you are under my protection, I will not allow you to be harmed."

"I understand." Belle said softly, letting a long sigh escape her afterwards. As her eyes closed, the willow would dance in the phantom breeze as the armor that had formed would slowly disappear like willow wisps in the air, then fade off completely. She didn't seem to notice at first as her eyes opened again and noticed it missing on her arms. Her head lifted to look at TRK, her eyes back to normal again with a look of confusion.
"Majesty.." She questioned, "Is it--" Cutting herself off as her arms tightened around her. "This is all so confusing.."

The Ruined King's eyes watched as her armor disappeared, he frowned wondering what had just happened to her armor. He looks back to the willow as it danced in the breeze, still wondering what it had to do with anything. His eyes move back to her, "Perhaps you will gain a better understanding when you learn to control it..."

After a moment a hunched figure almost completely shrouded in robes and clothes approached the garden carrying a tray in its bony hands. The guard on duty was about to say something to the figure, but the figure glared at him from under its shrouded features, silencing the guard on the spot. The figure approached the garden and stayed a few yards away from the King and Marabelle. It bowed as much as its hunched body would allow, though it showed no discomfort at this.
"Sorry for the intrusion Lord. But we have prepared the mortal girl a meal. She must be hungry after her ordeals, and it would be a shame if she were to starve."
The voice of the Legion stood by after saying this and awaited word from its king before it would move again.
"We are the King's Legion. Fear us, for we are many. Join us, for you will die. There is no sweeter mercy we can grant than your release from the mortal coil."

Belle moved back from the newcomer with a weary look, studying him from a distance she much rather keep for the moment. Her arms pulled in tight around her upper frame with an uncertain glance towards TRK as if trying to measure if the creature might be a threat. But he seemed respectful towards the King, unlike some of the others she had come across. Was it fear that ruled them, or loyalty?
"Th-thank you.." Belle said softly, reluctant to accept the meal but somewhat thankful that some of the residence of the Isles seemed to have some measure of consideration. In truth, she was quite hungry. She hasn't hardly eaten since she arrived on the Isles, always cold and feeling suppressed by the constant, relentless aura the dark island gave off.

The King felt the familiar presence of Legion before it had made itself known, he briefly turned his head to look at the host with an impassive gaze, noting he had food for the woman. With a slight nod he looked back to Belle, "This is Legion. A faithful servant." The gestured for him to give the food to her, though as far as he knew there were no tables out here for which to place the tray upon.

The Voice of Legion looked around as it approached. It bowed to the king again as it closed the distance.
"We serve loyally like we always have your majesty.Though it seems we are ill equipped to serve a meal here. Allow us one moment while we remedy the problem."
A few moments a handful of Legionnaires came to the garden, being mindful of the landscape as they carried with them a stone table and some chairs. They left as they came without preamble as the Voice set the platter on newly placed table.
"There, we believe that this shall give you a decent vantage point to enjoy the garden from. "
It turned to face the King and bowed again.
"Do you wish us to bring you something as well our lord?"
"We are the King's Legion. Fear us, for we are many. Join us, for you will die. There is no sweeter mercy we can grant than your release from the mortal coil."

Belle was watchful of the legionnaires as they came about to set up the table. She really wasn't sure what to thank, but she was happy for their courtesy. Quietly the young Noble made her way towards the stone seat and table where her food was now seated, pulling a handkerchief from a pocket to set it upon her lap.
"Thank you." She said quietly, bowing her head a little with respect. Despite where she was, there was little that would change how she interacted with people. This was their domain, and their home. It would be rude of her to not show some level of consideration for the fact.

The King's eyed Legion, "No. I require nothing." His attention soon turned back to Belle, he eyes studying her as she sat at the table. Surprised that she showed such respect to the ones that were keeping her prisoner. He turned to face the garden, focusing upon the willow, "That was not a part of the garden before... How did you create it?"
I am the one who defied death. I am the one he fears. I am the on he can not take. One sweep of my hand and your nations will fall. Come for me you worms. You will all bow before my legions or be broken beneath us as we march upon your cities.
The Voice of the Legion bowed to them and then took a few steps back.
"We will be right here if either of you need me, pay us no mind."
The host looked around the garden as if curious of the tree as well.
"We are the King's Legion. Fear us, for we are many. Join us, for you will die. There is no sweeter mercy we can grant than your release from the mortal coil."

"I-" Belle said hesitantly, folding her hands in her lap with the food untouched after the King's question. "I cannot answer that question." She said timidly, eyes cast downward with an uncertain look in her features. She was unsure of its appearance, but she felt connected to it. A strange warmth emanated from it bringing her comfort from the horrific assault of the Isles energy. It was the only place she felt comfortable.
After a moment, she carefully began to eat not wishing to insult the cooks or Legion for being kind enough to bring her food in the garden.
