"My apologies, this relationship between your organization and the guild is a tedious one. You know much about us, as most of the world's mages do, but we know very little about you, and as your expertise does very closely resemble dark magic I'm sure you can appreciate our caution. Your appearance here at such a time is also cause for alarm, but obviously a misunderstanding." Cairo spoke wishing to ease the tension he could feel in the air like a toxin that disrupted the flow of energy around him. He looked back at Valarran, who nodded in approval. Malcus looked on this action with reproach, being the cautious mage he is, but he did not speak out as he knew the effect it could have. Cairo turned back to Umbra and held out his arm towards the guild, guiding their new guest. "Given the delicate nature of this event, we could use the help, if you would please follow Archmage Valarran to the council chamber where we will discuss this matter privately. Quickly if you can, we mustn't delay." He said returning to Valarran's side as the elf turned and walked back across the bridge to the main hall of the guild.

Like the other buildings of organized mages, such as the College in Nemira, the guild halls were enchanted so the interior was far larger than the exterior. It allowed for the accumulation of vast stores of knowledge and plenty of room for safely testing and using magic without encroaching on the rest of the city. At the end of the large hallway stood two doors made of a gold colored material. As the group approached the portal the golden doors slowly opened just wide enough to allow passage, as the group gathered within they closed once more. The council gathered at the center of the room taking their respective places at the large round table in the center of the room. As they all filed in there were numerous chairs left vacated, all of which were situated across from the crescent formed by the council. "You may have a seat Lord Umbra." Cairo said as he sat in his chair next to Valarran who sat in the center of the crescent.
