"So this is how it is…"
That night, Atticus had spoken many words, and yet, to everyone who listened, it felt as though the world was unusually silent.
Atticus had started his speech by clearly saying that he was still hiding things, but they were personal, and he had decided not to share them unless the need arose.
It went without saying that Anastasia, Magnus, and Avalon hadn't been okay with that, but they had respected his decision nonetheless.
And so, Atticus spoke on.
About the current situation of the alliance.
About the history of Eldoralth.
About the cores that each apex possesses.
About its implications.
About how many cores he possessed and also the opposition.
And finally, about the opposition.
The last part had been broken into segments, and Atticus first had to tell them what his thought process was when he came up with the assumption that there was someone controlling Jezenet and possibly the Dimensari.
