Chapter 714: Chapter 714: Planning

Ilea watched as a circular table made entirely of wood grew from the stone ground, various detailed imagery at the edge of the surface depicting bits of history the Meadow had been informed or a part of in both Ravenhall and Hallowforts past. She particularly liked the depiction of herself carrying the tree away from the Daughters of Sephilon, the bit rather small compared to more prominent events. Chairs appeared next to the massive table, each member of the respective council including the guests taking a seat as the negotiations commenced. Ilea wouldve liked to have a phone with her to take a quick picture. Posting it in the Sentinel group wouldve surely been a hit amongst the students. She too took a seat, even though the buffet looked much more interesting than the stacks of paper, books, and folders appearing on the table. A glance to the side showed Navalis looking around with a bit of an uncertain air about her. Sit next to me, she sent to the woman and repeated the same to Owl, the Lich floating between the buffet and the large circular desk. Youre a four mark Lich. If anyones invited, its you, Ilea thought. Looking at her own lack of notes, she knew her main reason for being here was her high level. That and the fact that she knew most of the people present, better than they generally knew each other. The Lich and Ranger sat down, both sharing a quick glance before they focused on the details on the table. Nice touch, she sent to the Meadow when Twin appeared on her shoulder. The left one. A few of the attendees glanced over, mainly the representatives of Hallowfort looking at her for a long moment. Ive done extensive research before this meeting. Unlike some people, the Meadow answered. See, thats why I appreciate you so much, darling, Ilea answered. Important meeting. Join? Violence maybe later, she sent to the Baron, giving a glance to Rock and Senia, the two Shadows sitting besides Wayland, both stressed enough theyd surely want to blow off some steam once this was over. The music had stopped and relative quiet returned to the area, a cool breeze flowing in from the caverns. Catelyn and Claire glanced at each other and opened their books at the same time. The fox started. Welcome everyone. To the first official talks between the representatives of Ravenhall and Hallowfort. As the members of each council were informed, we will go through the previously established sections first, by their importance as evaluated by both me and Claire. Endless Meadow will document all that is said for future reference and documentation, she said, thin sheets of stone appearing in the air with the words written down as they were said. I wasnt informed. Tragedy. Claire gave the fox a nod and stood up. Claire Russel, Head Administrator and council member of Ravenhall, member of the Shadows Hand, am here in person, sound of mind and at my own will, she said and sat back down, looking to her left where Trian had already started standing up. This is gonna take fucking forever, isnt it, Ilea thought with a sigh and glanced over to Navalis.
