The council met in secret, hoping not to betray their betrayal. All but one had arrived, and they waited nearly half an hour before they decided they must continue without him. Who knew how long they had before they were discovered?
They conducted their entire meeting, made the decision to overrule their leader. They voted, they recorded it, and they swore themselves to secrecy. That's when the missing man stepped out of the shadows.
"I never intended to take part in this," he said. "I merely wondered whom of you would go through with it. Now I know."
Then he sounded the alarm.
