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.
• In the centre, Ailit knelt with her head bowed. Her long hair concealed her expression. Standing beside her was the imposing figure of the god Anuxis, with his son Jan at his side. His dark countenance was marked by a grimace as he placed a protective hand on Ailit's shoulder in a gesture of support.
