"Yes, and let us not forget," another elder added with a serious tone.
"Every paragon in the human domain has pledged their support to him, and our own paragon herself wants this relationship to happen. What makes you so sure their minds have changed?"
The atmosphere in the room grew colder as Elyrin slammed his palm on the table.
"Because they must have changed! This was all before he summoned Ozeroth. Do you honestly believe our paragon would still want Zoey tied to someone who has chosen to stand against the spirits? The spirits are everything to the Starhaven family. They are our foundation, our strength, our purpose. Without them, where would we be? Aligning ourselves with him now would make us hypocrites in the eyes of the spirits and the people of Sector 8. Do you realize the consequences of angering the spirits?"
The first elder frowned, his expression darkening. Elyrin was completely right, and the other elders in the room shared his sentiment.
