Washington, D.C.
In a huge conference room, the Adams Family patriarch Quade, Graham, and Damien were all present. Also in attendance were a few ministers and elderly figures, some of whom were in their twilight years.
Standing to the side were members of the Solar Deity Guild: Hei and Bai Wuchang (Black and White Impermanence), the security chief, Chasing Fate, Villain, Scarface, and more. Everyone was there.

The shift in power sent Damien nearly mad with pride.
