"What shall we do with her?" inquired King Alexandria.
"I intend to harness her powers; tonight marks the first blood moon, and I propose she becomes one of us," Lydia responded.
As they conversed, the door cracked open, and a guard rushed in, notifying the king of an urgent meeting with the council of elders. "Inform them I will join them shortly," he replied.
"Why the sudden meeting?" queried Lydia casually.
"We'll have to find out," he replied.
Exiting quickly, they proceeded to the courtyard where the chiefs were assembled. Upon the king's entrance, they stood and bowed in unison. Gesturing for them to be seated, King Alexandria took his throne.
"What prompts this urgent meeting?" he asked, breaking the silence. A high chief stood up, addressing the king, "My lord, if you don't mind, we would like her to excuse us; this is a council meeting," he said, pointing to Lydia.
