After some debate, the council agreed to aid the Chimera in their fight, and agreed that all of the orders should assemble at the mountain. “I suppose we should come up with a name for this mountain after all.”
“The Mountain of Foreboding?” The silence that ensued was as if to say are you really suggesting that?
