The atmosphere of the entire venue shifted the moment Kyle made his appearance.
It wasn't because he was radiating Genesis. In fact, those particularly sensitive to the energy could barely sense his presence at all. To them, he seemed no different from an ordinary person, as though he hadn't even awakened.
And yet, the moment he stepped forward, accompanied by his apostles and Veronica taking their places at his side, the attention of the entire gathering was drawn toward him.
There was something about the way they stood behind him, their unquestioning composure and the ease with which they acknowledged his position, that made it difficult for anyone to dismiss him as an ordinary man.
"I welcome you all," Kyle began, taking a step forward. "I'm glad you could make time to attend this gathering."
His greeting was met with silence.
