PoV: Lillian
This is it. The most important moment of my life until now.
The fate of a whole world hinges on the words I will say in this meeting.
I feel fourteen gazes upon me. One of which is filled with hatred and malice, but I just brush it off.
The other thirteen are the ones that concern me. I can feel them piercing my very soul. Those beings are as powerful in comparison to me as I am in comparison to mortals.
We are in a big hall. I and the hateful one are in small chairs on the floor. In front of us, a platform over which there is a row of tables with twelve beings looking down at the two of us.
Behind the twelve, another platform, on which the last person of this meeting stands. It's Ain, the guardian of the realms of gods.
She is the one to speak.
"We are gathered here today to judge the matter of a serious accusation. The accuser, please step forward and speak your mind."
I stand up from my chair, step forward, and do a respectful bow.
