Darius saw that there were enough seats for everyone, and the others noticed the same. As such, none got into an unnecessary fight over where to sit and chose their cushions freely.
Darius chose one to the side with Gunner to his left and Xela to his right. They all sat down at the same time and entered a meditative posture.
Once all the candidates sat down, the door to the tower closed softly, and the candelabras within lit up. The incense burners suddenly sparked as the incense within took fire and began releasing its fumes.
Strangely enough, these fumes seemed to angle themselves towards their specific user's nose or general breathing organs specifically, not wafting around the room.
Soon, many felt their eyelids become heavy. To the amusement of Darius, many wore ferocious expressions as their bloodshot eyes showed that they absolutely refused to succumb to this sleepiness.
