The Aura That Shook Their Hearts
The room was really quiet. The silence felt heavy. It was pressing against the wooden walls of the council room. It was like the air was too scared to make a sound. The council room was filled with this silence.
The lamps were burning low and the flames were moving back and forth like people who are really nervous. A warm golden light was shining on the metal and leather. It was reflecting off the edges of the pauldrons that Leons captains were wearing. This light was also moving across their jaws and their hands, which were not still.
Leons captains were sitting around a round table and they were all sitting up very straight like they thought that if they just sat up straight enough they could stop the bad things that were coming their way. The captains of Leon were waiting to see what would happen next. They were all very tense.
