To say that Andrex was embarrassed after Arnold produced flames by his fingers would be an understatement. As a result, he made his presence scarce during the rest of the meeting. It was a blessing in disguise as, without his continuous bickering, the rest of the meeting went smoothly.
Now it was time to select the one who'll lead the forces into the swamps. Arnold was sure Nathan would be the crowd favourite. To ensure that there wasn't any pressure on the council members and also that Arnold wouldn't try to 'influence' them, they all decided to vote for the leader while maintaining anonymity. Arnold and Nina weren't allowed to vote as each family could cast only one vote.
