After the traitor was captured, the Alliance Meeting was called again. It was the second time in a single day and although it wasn't unusual during the days of emergency, together with the Stonefangs, things were… tense.
And that tension could be seen in the Elders Hall.
The Elders Hall was dead silent.
A silence so heavy that it felt like everyone here was waiting for the next bad thing to fall on their heads.
The people sitting at the table looked exhausted, the Velmourn elders had dark circles under their eyes; in just two days, they seemed to have aged ten years.
Morvain's posture was still straight, but her shoulders looked heavier than yesterday. Lavinia sat half a step behind Kael like always; there was no change in her expression, but her gaze felt more watchful than before.
