"Grand Chief, please wait," Four Winds said.
"Shut your mouth!" One of the council chiefs, Jinga Loudmaw, hissed. "You are a traitor who has aided an enemy. We should just hang you and your entire guild instead of giving you a seat in the council!"
Kabaka waved at Jinga. "Jinga, we've discussed this. He won the tourney. If we deny him his right, we are denying the tradition handed down by our ancestors. The two of them fight fair and square. Even though his helper used a false identity, his helper was registered by the world as his tribe. He is not at fault when it comes to following the tourney's rules."
Kabaka then turned to Four Winds, "That being said, depending on how things go, I might still need to punish you for smuggling an enemy into our midst. Your seat on the council is secured. Do not worry about that, but be prepared for a different penalty."
Kabaka finally turned to Jack. "Now, do you wish to show yourself on your own accord, or shall we?"
