"What? He can stay?"
"Why? He's an outsider. This makes no sense!"
"Luminarch! Rescind the request! It makes no sense at all!"
"Luminarch!"
The hall erupted into protests almost immediately. Be it the Seats or the regular followers. Everyone was against the idea of letting me stay.
To say that I wasn't confused was an understatement.
I was almost certain that he was going to kick me out.
'Why did he suddenly allow me to stay? What changed his mind?'
Despite the protests that were going around, the Luminarch appeared to turn a blind eye to everything. He neither acknowledged nor addressed any of the questions coming from the seats and followers around.
He just moved towards the beacon before stopping.
He closed his eyes a moment later, clasping his hands together as he mumbled several things in a tongue that I couldn't quite understand.
The moment he did so, all protests died down.
