Standing on the front deck of a ship prepared by the Courtenay Family for the Conclave was Kyran. His eyes were closed as several dark purple orbs circled him. Within the orb's surface were glowing runic writings overlapping each other.
Behind him stood Stella, disguised once again as a member of the Alchemist Association, and the rest of the Conclave Council members overseeing the joint military exercise since day one; Callan, Noir, Malia, and Vaness.
They all wore a concerned expression as they watched Kyran in silence.
Almost an hour had passed from when the baby Echidna released its frightening aura and shook the whole island, rendering every leader of the factions watching the event rattled.
As soon as it happened, the Courtenay representatives reinforced the barrier around the island and activated the ships' defensive array to protect everyone.
To what exactly, none of them had any clue then.
