The people began to leave.
Morvain's speech had ended almost ten minutes ago, but the heaviness it carried still lingered in the air, so much that even as they left, no one spoke. Even children were no different, even the babies.
They were too young to understand what was happening, yes, but even they could sense the tension in the air and stayed silent.
The leaders stayed silent too, Kael, Lavinia, Morvain, Aurelia, Korvath, even Draksis was no exception, there were too many things in their minds.
They watched the people leave in silence, then once everyone was gone—
"You should leave too."
Morvain came to Kael.
"You need more rest."
Kael looked at her, then, as if he was sorting his own mind, he just stared at her with a lost look on his face and finally, after a few seconds—
"No."
He shook his head.
"I need to leave."
