That same evening, I called everyone together. All the members—the twins had accepted, their contracts were signed an hour ago.
In truth I did not trust them but I've already ordered Ravenna to out an hex on them without them knowing. Anytime they talk about what they should not....it won't turn out pretty for them.
They gathered in the main hall of our underground headquarters. And I look at my chess board with glowing eyes.
A mix of personalities consisting of assassins next to accountants, rogues beside knights, chaos that somehow worked.
I stood before them, taking in the assembled group.
"First official meeting of the Obsidian Council," I began. "Welcome, everyone, especially our new members."
The reactions were mixed, some were excitement while some showed curiosity and then there's wariness from the twins who were still evaluating.
