An hour passed before the weight on Kaino lifted. By then, many crowds had gathered and dispersed.
Each one expressed the same thing upon seeing a council member on the floor. Utter shock. The first instinct of many was to help, but after learning of the events that transpired, they each stopped.
A High Synod was being punished by the Saint. The Saint herself! The chosen one. No one doubted that he deserved it.
But when the weight lifted and Kaino began to stand, the crowd scattered like flies. At the end of the day, Kaino was a god. None wanted to experience his wrath.
Alone, Kaino walked back into the Sanctum.
Surprisingly, his steps weren't heavy or even fast. He walked at a steady pace. His hands were free and teeth not even clenched.
He didn't look the least bit like someone who should be furious.
However, his eyes… his eyes as he walked were wide open. And his thoughts ran at a speed they had never ran before.
