Chapter 313: Elder

The mysterious elder moved slowly to Egelza's side, his cloak floating behind him. His presence was overwhelming, and the room itself seemed to shrink under the intensity of his aura. He stared at Egelza, and she felt as if he were probing her very soul.

"Come, Maga of the Dawn, explain yourself," the Elder said. "You must remember that loyalty to Olaynore comes before all else."

Egelza trembled with fear and couldn't even think to form a sentence. She knew she had made a mistake by teleporting all these people to the Citadel of the Magi, but she didn't know how to correct it, because she still thought it was the best solution. Egelza didn't know if she could defeat the Psyker alone.

The Elder realized that Egelza was not going to answer him, so he turned his attention to Kaizen and the others.
