Erebus knew this confrontation would come sooner or later after Erend left. The other members of the council would not remain silent once they learned what he had done and he had no intention of wasting time waiting for them to summon him.
He left the darkest corner of the city and made his way toward its largest and tallest building first. It served as the council's headquarters and residence.
Erebus arrived at the meeting room before the others. The spacious chamber stood in near silence.
He walked to his usual position and stood with his hands folded behind his back, waiting patiently.
His expression remained as cold and composed as ever, showing no sign of concern about what he was about to face.
The meeting room doors suddenly flew open with a loud bang.
Aldric entered first, having pushed both doors open with considerable force. His sharp eyes immediately settled on Erebus.
