The Slow Awakening

"Carnix! " shouted Talon as he continued to speak. "We have an urgent issue, some of the tribe members are fighting for land and resources. "

"But why? " asked Carnix.

"I do not know, however, I suggest we discuss this with the counsel." Talon said.

These elders, Carnix and Talon, made there way to the city hall in which the counsel members stood:

Zara- the decision maker "the wise one" (one of two female members in the counsel.

Zakiel- the writer and interpreter (the brother of Zara)

Ase- he deals with the accounts and records for the counsel members.

Shaqueil- the main spokesman in the counsel. He uses codes and languages to speak to different tribes and neighbouring people.

Finally we have Elorie- the youngest and newest member of the counsel, she is also the great granddaughter of the first elder Azriel, the first ring guardian.

Upon the arrival of the elders, the counsel members greeted them favourably.

"Welcome elders, have a seat, what brings you to this side of town?" asked Zakiel.

"We are here because some members of the tribes Ta'la'Hu'un and Unzabi, are fighting over land and resources, which, might lead to disarray in the land of Vantrea."

"I see, however, do you know the reason why they are fighting over these things. I mean they can't be fighting for no reason, can they?" Replied Zara.

"It could be the 'AWAKENING' it couldn't be could it?" Said Ase.

"It couldn't be, we haven't seen or heard of the 'AWAKENING' in over a 1,000 years, it has been at bay since the days of Elorie's great grandfather Azriel." Said Talon.

As the counsel and the two elders continue discussing, Zara is confused, in a shy yet low controlled voice she asks "What is this 'AWAKENING' of which you speak?"

"DID YOU NOT CATCH ON YOUR HISTORY STUDIES, WHY ARE U EVEN APART OF THE COUNSEL IF U DON'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT YOUR COUNTRIES HISTORY, PATHETIC." Talon said enraged.

"Do not speak to my sister like that!"Zakiel shouted.

"How dare u speak to me, Elder Talon,in such a manner. You and ur sister should both be dismembered from the counsel. [1] For your sister's lack of knowledge in the history of our land and people. And [2] your utter disrespect for your elder."Shouted Talon.

"STOP!"ordered Carnix before he continued. "We have way more problems ahead and u are here bantering about matters that i like to call nothing, you are all behaving like children especially you brother."
