"I have not taken my vote yet," the supreme mandra said after a while, as if the whole standoff had not fazed him. His aura was calm. Deadly calm, even, and his words were even calmer.
With that statement, he waved for everyone to leave the hall.
"The council meeting is adjourned. You all may leave!" The mandra's voice was still as calm as ever. The council members seemed to deliberate what he was saying before they loosed their defensive and aggressive stances. They had already angered him once and it was wise they did not do it twice. He raised his hand to Tsaka too, and as if Tsaka could read the man's thoughts, the shadows that had been lurking in the room, making it look darker, dissipated, and the room looked even lighter. Dawn was starting to break, too. The room cleared out, and the shadows disappeared, and after a moment, only sagiri stood staring at Tsaka and the supreme mandra of Tagayia.
