Bloody encounter

Inside his mansion, just outside the royal palace, Zaff was lying in his bed, ready to sleep, when an unknown person appeared beside his bed.

Zaff’s body trembled slightly as he jumped to his feet and lifted one of his shaking hands right in front of his body. “I apologize. I didn’t mean to. I had to answer my king’s question.”

Seth canceled the rotation of his perception source as he asked: “You know who I am?”

Zaff remained silent for a moment, trying to calm down his pounding heart, before replying: “Sir, you must be a member of the Council.”

Seth shook his head with a smile, moving towards a large armchair on the side and sitting down. Looking up at the confused Zaff, he said: “I can’t understand this fear you humans have towards the Council. They only did things to help humans, and everyone that still knows about them is too terrified to even speak their name.”
