The Top Elders were waiting outside Sacred Hall for the Little Mara. Two Elders in front, five Elders behind, and at the end three more Elders. A weird lineup.
The Elders wear black robes, the two Elders in the front wearing a red collar; the middle ones a yellow collar; and the last ones a white-collar, implying the status of each one, the red one being the highest.
When they saw her walk down the stairs in front of the red door, they were looking at her with a smile on their faces that did not reach their eyes.
The little girl felt the smile too hypocritical and the most horrible smile she has ever seen before.
'These Elders are not good news.' Murmured Heinrich, who has been monitoring the situation around the little girl.
Elder Taros' forehead drew a slight frown, seeing the attitude of the Top Elders.
"Clan Leader, we have come before you for over five minutes already." Said a middle Elder.
