Council's Trouble
Michael didn't waste much time after he dealt with the last Awakened. He collected their corpses and traveled to the Zynur Lord's border settlement. The Guards were shocked and changed into a defensive stance the moment they saw Michael. But who could hold them accountable for that? Michael's body was covered in blood and his clothes were half-burned.
His appearance was fearsome enough to shake the bored Guards. Fortunately, one of the Guards on the walls recalled Michael and what their Lord had said about their friend from the Untamed Jungle.
"He is an ally. Let him inside!" The Guard's voice boomed through the vicinity and it didn't take long before the large steel gate to the Untamed Jungle was opened.
Now that the Guards knew that Michael was an ally, they saluted and greeted him formally. Michael, however, merely waved his hand.
