June 3rd
2:30 PM
Grand Elder, Konstantin, is at the head of the table and he is looking at 9 other people who gathered on short notice. Three could not make it, and they are attending the meeting online. Their faces are visible on the large screen that is hanging from one of the walls.
"Elder Milena…" Konstantin addressed Stella. "You requested this meeting; do you care to share with us what the emergency is and why this could not wait for our regular weekly meeting which is in two days?"
Stella stood up and bowed slightly toward Konstantin. "Grand Elder… there is a challenge for the position of an Elder."
Everyone was serious and all eyes were on Stella, waiting for her next words. Only Vasily smiled. He was giddy from excitement because he knows that Sarah is here and it's happening!
"A challenge? By whom?" Konstantin broke the silence.
"My daughter, Sarah." Stella responded.
