An Extra’s POV

'It's quite brave of her to go against their wishes and come here; all for the sake of her people's survival.' Ater thought to himself.

The one who also aided her in this plan was also a member of the Council, but the fact that she wasn't here with Aurora showed that the Rune was as far as she was willing to go when it came to help.

'But it's thanks to all of these circumstances that this event has unfolded.' Ater couldn't help but smile devilishly as he watched the Elves huddle together and activate the power within the scroll.

If he remembered correctly, her name was Lila.

Aurora shook her head in response, though, just as he knew she would.

"My actions are in contradiction to the will of the Esteemed Council. I will most likely be punished for my transgression."

Still, he could not complain.
