</div>Z didn’t have to wait too long before her ears perked up at the sound of someone coming. The lack of footsteps was a slight give away as to who it was, as there weren’t a ton of people in the academy that could fly around in such tight spaces. Coming to a halt at the center of the closed door into the council chamber Z turned to great Aroura. “Good morning,” Z replied with a smile, as she watched her sister gracefully fold her wings behind her back. “I don’t know,” Z admitted, as she had had no idea that Aroura would be joining her.<br/><br/>Before Z could make a guess as to who would be joining them, the other two apprentices arrived. Lillian, Z knew a little as she was one of the Crimson Blades special apprentices that took a little more of the instructor’s time, not for any fault of her own, but because of her advanced cybernetic implants. Kiryuu, Z knew least of all, she had seen her around, but they had never really connected. “Okay, I think we should go in know,” Z explained, not wanting to keep the council waiting any longer. Turning around, Z pushed open the doors into the council chambers.<br/><br/>The council chambers were a octagonal room with a seat positioned at the center of every wall, other than the one with the door. Today the only five of the seven council members were present, directly in front of Z and the others was<a class="link link--external" href="https://i.imgur.com/1SoMFRB.jpg" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">Grand Master Carnage</a>, the head of the council of seven. Flanking Carnage were Masters<a class="link link--external" href="https://i.imgur.com/yduAOMg.jpg" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">Vanesa </a>and<a class="link link--external" href="https://i.imgur.com/K2VU4fc.jpg" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">Shadow</a>. The other two masters were younger, Masters<a class="link link--external" href="https://i.imgur.com/fJqDnnX.jpg" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">Sharktee </a>and<a class="link link--external" href="https://i.imgur.com/9fqt8T0.jpg" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">Tali</a>. All the masters watched the apprentices as they entered into the chamber, but none spoke until the group of four was centered in the hexagon. Having all the council’s eyes on her sent a shiver of fear down Z’s spine, these were the deadliest warriors in the galaxy, only a fool would feel no fear standing in their presence.
