Orion sat at the head of the table, with Delilah standing gracefully behind him.
To his left and right sat Prophet Onyx, Rendall, and Slagor, all of whom still looked at Orion with a mixture of awe and respect.

Prophet Onyx nodded, organizing his thoughts before speaking.
"Chieftain, this story begins in my grandfather's time."
"My grandfather was the previous Alpha of the Black Forest."
