With Jared leading them, they all ventured towards the moderately large hall, with murals still staining the wall, and tiles so exquisite you could see your reflection.
The room also had a centre table which five chairs gathered around.

"Have your seats. Jared smiled, moving to take his prestigious position among the others.
Despite his warm invitation, no one dared to have their seat before he did. It wasn't due to anything he had imposed on them, but rather, it was simply their respect for the hierarchy.
Once he sat, they followed.
"Alright, then. Since we're all here… let us begin."
