The Prophet was on bended knees to a man no one had seen before coming here.
This irked them for obvious reasons. They thought he was the man in charge but here he was, kneeling before this unknown individual. This made one thing certain and that was, whoever this person was, he held a higher status than the one they addressed as The Prophet.
"Do not cast your eyes unto the Messiah!" The Prophet warned his disciples with a stern voice and all of them got on bended knees with their head bowed to the ground. The figure did not speak nor did he seem to care about what anyone in the building was up to.
"You have done well, Lin." The voice commanded, referring to the man everyone referred to as The Prophet.
"I have simply done as you have commanded, my liege," Lin responded, like a devoted servant.
