"What are you doing about the prevailing issue," elder Brian, asked his question directed to Berry who looked from everyone's faces as they all stayed seated without saying a word.

Berry couldn't stop thinking of the fact that he should be where he might actually be looking for a solution to their problems rather than listening to these old fools.

Elder Brian looked taken a back for a moment but he quickly brushed it off as if it was nothing.

"I think you should start by creating a few more alliances," the man suggested but nearly bit his tongue as he remembered they could have had the greatest alliance they would ever need if they had still stayed with the previous Alpha.
