The evening arrives, the heat of the July day lingers into the evening as the guests arrive at the Sacramento Zoo for the gathering of the First Estate.
Kine working for the moment as hosts, direct the arriving Kindred to the Rare Feline Courtyard where the event will occur. As the Predators gather, other predators prowl around them in their cages.
Eventually the duties of the Kine hosts would shift, going from guide to snacks. And already the early arrivers, the nameless masses of the covenant, arriving earlyto get the best free mealper the protocol of their chosen covenant were sizing up the Kine, picking their choices.
Small bar tables scattered about the enclosure, stand up and designed for light conversation.
Save for one. One that had chairs. Had the feeling of formality.
But only 7 chairs. 7. For those Invictus who would arrive last. 7 Invictus who had names. Had Power. Were the true strength of the Covenant.
I apologize for the delay in this. I will give a couple days for arrivals.
