Emery waited outside the meeting chamber.
As expected, he had not been allowed to enter. Two guards stood before the massive doors and politely informed him that the meeting was reserved for Supremes only.
But Emery had come prepared.
Having been ignored by the Pardera Supremes, he had decided to seek help elsewhere.
Earlier that morning, he had managed to send a message to the leader of the Wood Elves, Queen Faelwen Greenward. He had written only a few lines, requesting an opportunity to speak at the meeting and mentioning that the matter concerned the cure.
The Wood Elf queen was a close friend of the Fey, so Emery hoped she would be willing to help him gain an audience.
And so, he waited.
An hour passed, then another. The guards remained at their posts, and the great doors stayed firmly shut.
Emery did not leave.
