Yet precisely because of this situation, no one dared to move at will or pass orders. They had to wait for the King, or at least one of the council members, to take initiative and control the situation.
The oldest amongst the council, High Elder Halifax of the Moon Elf Clan, took on this role.
He ordered the warriors to move away to allow those grieving privacy.
Some were ordered to head back to the Netherfields and report the situation to those in charge, others to seek White Tiger Logan who was the Deputy Commander of Warriors, while the rest were to investigate the truth of the situation and look for casualties around the palace.
As the sky slowly regained normalcy and the chaotic atmosphere calmed, those who were waiting at the Netherfields received the news that Divine Eagle Morpheus was no more. Many dared not believe it, but when it was later confirmed, they had no choice but to accept it.
