"No... It's already happening?" Mian spoke to himself.
"No way those are all Gifts." Dion whispered in disbelief as he approached them window. Mian got out of bed, with Flare beside him, and made his way over to Dion's side by the window.

Mian quickly turned around and left the room, hurrying to go and join the discussion that Daven would surely be engaging in with the rest of the council. He could rest later, because this matter was of the utmost importance.
