"But the Thief. We still haven't found him yet" The Emperor said with a deep frown on his face.
A Heavy silence ensued after this, all those in the hall gas heavy heart and fear and dread for the future.
Meanwhile, Leo was deep in his own thoughts.
After some time, the Emperor looked up to the cried of elves before him. "You are free to make suggestion on how to deal with the situation, But I myself suggest we send assasins to eliminate the mages the new elements"
"But won't that fasten the process" A voice objected from the crowd. "And besides, it's said that only the thief could handle the situation"
"It's better though, to eliminate them at their bud, though we need the thief's help. We can't just stay and wait for calamity to befall us" Another voice replied to the former.
A rumor ensued, with elves having different opinions on how to handle the situation.
