Aiden whispered a few commands and then attempted to slip away, but when he looked towards the main entrance, he was shocked to discover that a number of red-robed Wizards had already blocked all the exits.
"Before we officially pray to the spirits of the elements, there's one more issue that needs resolving!" the Wizard on the high platform suddenly spoke in a cold voice, halting his speech. "Our manor has been infiltrated by a few rats sent by the Council, foes of the spirits of the elements, acolytes of doom—they will destroy everything we've worked so hard to create..."
At this, all the Wizards in the hall turned their heads around, shouting incessantly.
"Where are those damn guys?"
"I'm going to tear them apart!", "For the spirits of the elements!"
The crowd was passionately agitated, yet they could not locate the enemy; they even began to suspect and attack each other.
