"I know that this might be awkward, but I'd like to invite you and the rest of the senate to my wedding." Morok said during the last trip to Zelex, right before taking the final pack of books to the Ernas library.
He had waited as long as he could in the hope that Syrah's hatred would subside and then seized the moment when Xagra was with her to make his move. The Hati Queen's countenance changed in the presence of witnesses and especially her son.

Even the few among the warriors who still had questions regarding the events regarding Morok's arrival had soon decided that ignorance was bliss.
