“Silence!” Trek announced, rumors were abounding and the Council of Demora withering like an oak in the swamp, mentally shaking his head. Events were not that dire, yet. “Elorian Unarkis, stand, speak.”
Unarkis stood taller than most Eons at almost 8 feet tall, every Eon knew his Soul Binding was that of a rare Sabertooth, the rarest Soul Binding to achieve, with a slight smile in Trek’s direction for he knew why he was chosen to speak. As an elder of two centuries and two decades, he held much sway over the Council of Demora.
“Do not be rash, we have but rumors, some more confirmed, many not. The blue children have always been vengeful to us. We know this. I ask now, where is the Guardian? The blue child who sought sanctuary” Unarkis looked around at his fellow Elorians, those who had Soul Bindings and the retired Chieftains who made up the rest of the Council.
“Gone Elorian Unarkis. We searched, we do not know where she is”
“A Bane came looking for a blue child”
“When?”
“Quiet! Speak Chieftain Rhyo” Unkaris demanded. Enough of this prattle, rumors and rumors, he needed facts.
“He came seeking the Azurian Guardian, long after she had disappeared from our land. His magic has awoken, that is all I know Elorian Unarkis” Rhyo quickly seated himself, youngest and newest member of the Council, he was cautious with his words.
“Zarythian Banes have their death prophecy, a blue child, an Azurian must be saved. Two Elorians deaths before two centuries, many young found dead. What of the green children?”
“No word yet, the Chieftain at Denpine will send word soon”
Unarkis knew the Gideans, whom they called green children did not involve themselves in the politics of the land often but if his suspicions were true, the blue children waged a shadow war on them, assassinations and deaths meant to cripple them. Little could be done until the Zarythian Banes prophecy was fulfilled. He also knew more was at work in Genivan as a whole, more turmoil would come and he would help guide the Council and all Eons through it.
“Very well, what movement of the wet tails? They have grown increasingly bold” Unarkis tactfully changed the subject, the other matters would need to be set aside, the attacks from the wet tails had put many Eon Tribes into retreat. Never had they been so bold.
