Chapter 84 The Real Enemy

The imposing underground cave brimmed with tense and somber energy. Torches cast flickering lights on the stern faces of the Archons, who waited impatiently around the central fountain. In the marble pool, the waters bubbled restlessly, reflecting the contained anger of Zoran and Enver, Gil's parents. Beside them, Aren clenched his fists, his jaw tense with fury towards the one who had defiled his beloved. Aren's parents, Aoron and Etta, had icy gazes laden with reproach. Above them all towered the imposing figure of the Archon Major, Serafín, flanked by his wife Nara. His countenance was an impassive mask, but his aura radiated unquestionable authority over the others.
