Ch 28: A feast of celebrations

The dining hall was vast, with high vaulted ceilings and walls lined with ancient detailed designs. Each candle flickered atop golden stands, casting a soft, warm glow across the long, intricately carved table. Plates of food were arranged in a stunning display—roasted meats, fresh fruits, warm bread, and rich sauces, all emanating a tantalizing aroma that filled the room. It was a feast, clearly meant to celebrate something grand, but despite the lavish spread, Gray found himself unable to fully enjoy it.
