As Julius and Rosalina were slowly approaching the Void Core stage on one side of the continent of Auranel, far away from the Hayes Clan territory, another storm was quietly beginning to gather.
Inside the territory of the Velentina Clan, the atmosphere had become unusually heavy.
Deep within the clan headquarters stood a massive black building made from dark stone.
The tall walls looked cold and oppressive under the dim evening light. Guards stood outside the building silently with spears in their hands, not daring to make unnecessary sounds.
At the very top floor of the building, inside the clan meeting hall, all ten elders of the Velentina Clan had gathered together.
The room itself was large, but strangely empty.
A long black table stretched through the center of the hall while dim golden lamps burned quietly along the walls.
Normally, the elders of the Velentina Clan carried themselves with pride and arrogance no matter the situation.
