Starborn Ashes Meeting

Meeting

High Council Chamber – Hours After the Explosion

Six robed figures sit around a circular table. Magic-infused crystal screens float before them, showing Ren's unconscious form.

Don't fall for the council members😹

Eldric (Council head)

So. The experiment lived.

Theris (Councilwoman)

No… he survived. That’s different

Varn (Councilman)

He shouldn’t have. The mana levels were enough to shatter a mage’s core.

Eldric (Council head)

And yet his pulse remains. The crest is active. That changes everything

Dren (Councilman)

[voice low] We agreed never to use First Circle seals again…

Theris (Councilwoman)

[glancing at him] Agreements change when opportunity rises.

Varn (Councilman)

The Dravenhart heir is at the Academy.

Eldric (Council head)

Exactly. If Ren’s power reacts violently again, only he can suppress it.

A long silence

Dren (Councilman)

[gritting teeth] You’re not telling them everything, are you, Eldric?

Eldric (Council head)

… Some truths are too dangerous for now. Let the Academy observe him. The mark will awaken in time.

Theris (Councilwoman)

[smiling faintly] And when it does… we’ll see if he’s a key— —or a weapon.

After the meeting

Council head and Theris alone

Eldric (Council head)

If the boy ever remembers what he really is… Not even Kael Dravenhart will be able to stop him.
