Inside the council hall, all the members were present. Draven sat on the throne while the elders from each clan took their places, with their accompanying members standing behind them. Evanthe had assumed the role of head of the Witch Clan, with Cornelia standing behind her. Ember, as the King's mate, was given a separate seat.
Leeora, seated next to Ember, offered her an assuring gaze, silently encouraging her to remain calm. Ember responded with a light smile. Erlos stood behind Ember instead of by Draven's side, as Draven didn't want Ember to feel lonely.
The council meeting began, and as usual, Halifax took charge to proceed with the agenda.
"Your Majesty, the purpose of today's council meeting is to discuss the Commander, the divine eagle Morpheus, his current state, and the measures we can take to restore his soul and energy core to their previous condition. If you allow me, I would like to initiate the discussion."
