The Brotherhood settled onto the built-in stone seating, Serena and Elara joining them.
At the front of the chamber, King Tiberon took the central seat with Dex on his right and Hale and Gav on his left.
"We all heard our ancestors' message, channeled through the Draken Prime," Tiberon began.
Fantastic, Serena thought. I'm a magical loudspeaker for dead people.
The meeting went on. Serena listened as they dissected each line of what was said. Members in the back of the room spoke as much as members in the front. It was clear everyone here was highly valued and respected.
This is what a council meeting should feel like. Trust. Contribution.
"Five traitor packs among Skardos's twenty. Three remain loyal," King Tiberon stated. "Bloodmoon. Shadowclaw. Darkhowler."
Gavriel spoke for the first time. "I can arrange meetings with Darkhowler and Bloodmoon."
"I will speak with Aeron, the Shadowclaw mage," Hyran added. "Unless someone else has a more direct connection."
