The Spiritual was a man they recognized immediately. With the numbers of participants going down, those left were beginning to get more and more of a spotlight placed on them. This man was among the number almost certainly guaranteed to be among the finalists although he, himself, was not part of the Council Members.

He was known as Rowan Frostwind, a Pure Blooded Spiritual.

In truth, his talent and strength were beyond that of Lyra Emberheart. As for why Lyra was given the rights to become a Council Member while he was not, this was more related to Leonel than it was to any internal strife or unfairness.

According to the original plan, the Council was going to put pressure on Leonel and that was something the Spirituals alone couldn't fix. But Lyra was going to become the lynchpin for relieving some of the pressure on Leonel, giving him a path to survival.

That plan, though, was obviously tossed out the moment Leonel acted and killed one of the Council Members. There was nothing Lyra could even do at that point to change things, making her key effectively useless.

Rowan swept a gaze through the surroundings before his gaze landed on Aina.

"I've come to warn you about something."

Aina raised an eyebrow, but her indifference remained. She already knew what this was about, for Leonel predicting this sort of outcome was as easy as breathing.

"They're already getting antsy it seems," she spoke more to herself than anyone else.

Rowan fell into silence. Considering Aina wasn't eager to ask what was happening, it seemed that the couple had already thought of this.

For them to go through all of this and come out on top at every turn, it meant that these two weren't fools. They had an understanding of what was happening around them and acted accordingly.

Aina met Rowan's eyes after organizing her thoughts.
