The High Palace was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
"Osiria?"
"Who is this person? How is she an Archmage again instead of a Soul Saint Wizard?"
The Soul Saint Wizards seated on both sides of the bronze long table wore wonderfully varied expressions. The members of the Modu School had received advance warning, so they remained calm.
