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.
