Becoming a leader is synonymous with becoming yourself. It is exactly that simple, and it is also that difficult.
Zane had never once thought of himself as a leader.
He just wanted to live.
Survive.
The world didn't let him do that so he fought for it anyway.
And in his fighting, he didn't know what he did to other people.
Fulfilling his condition, the Emberlord asked everyone who wanted to join Zane in finding the relic, were free to join.
But before Coin could even finish the question…
"I am with him."
"We are with you."
"Count me in."
People went to stand with him on their own.
Zane Atlas became their leader.
Xavier was the first one to stand up and go beside Zane.
Hena and her bodyguard were already there.
Jammy also stood beside Zane.
The Emberlord watched and before he knew it, all the gutterborns present in the Cathedral were with Zane.
Some commoners also joined him.
No one from the Halocrats moved even their fingers except Hena.
