Upon entering the main building, they found themselves in a large and finely decorated room. Just at the entrance, there was a receptionist at the desk tracking who came and went and for what. Aliat signed the three of them in and continued to the back end of the room towards what appeared to be a dead end with an ornate seal on it. He took a marble out of his pocket, placed it against the wall, and with a bright flash, a circular opening appeared. "Alright, you two wait here. As soon as a council member is free, they will come out to interview you." With that, the man disappeared behind the wall and the opening sealed itself back up.

Garoth could tell that Megumi was nervous, even though she was doing her best to hide it. To be honest, he was a bit nervous too. Even though his life wasn't on the line, if he screwed up and brought something dangerous this far into the HQ, there would be serious consequences. "I'm sure everything will be fine," Garoth said, partly to calm Megumi, and partly to convince himself. "If there were any problems I'm sure Aliat would have said something. Just don't do anything that would make the council members mad. I've seen what they can do..." He shivered as his mind went back to the time when he'd had the privilege of seeing a council member hunt down a powerful rogue spirit. Poor thing didn't stand a chance.
