72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zSSd67gVt
The Courtroon chamber is a cathedral of authority — purple banners draped over carved brown stone, blue glass windows casting cold light — across the polished floor. The five Supreme judges sit elevated above the priest, a mix of men and women, all staring down with a blend of irritation, curiosity, and thinly veiled contempt. The robes are purple, and intricate, with patterns tied at the neck, with hoods over their heads, faces visible.

Zacharias and two priests stand below, his robes are immaculate, chin lifted like he owns the air.

One judge leans forward, bored.

Judge 1: (bored, annoyed)
"High Priest Zacharias, you requested this emergency hearing. Speak quickly.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuGkkCkdth
Zacharias bows — shallow — performative —
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5Dd0mAwAc
Zacharias:
"Honored Judges… a threat has risen and The High Council must be awakened to it. A man who defies temple order, undermines sacred law, and manipulates the weak with counterfeit miracles."
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcMTomVIKa
The judges exchange looks, glancing amongst themselves.

Judge 2:
"You speak of the accused, this Metro?"
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0s9Xz1DBs
Zacharias's eyes flash hot, and bright.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LgqjphceN
Zacharias:
"I speak of dangereous man who has already seduced an entire village into rebellion. A man who hides behind false humility while sowing seeds of conspiracy against the Hierarch himself."
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqSaS951OB
The younger judge scoffs.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4TIDbw8eJ
Judge 3:
"You priest lost control of one village, and now you cry treason?
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeqpkpnu1U
Zacharias steps forward, voice tightening.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOM9QjGYXVo
Zacharias:
"This is no mere village matter. This man has tampered on Holy Grounds, He has performed illegal growth rituals. He's gathered followers. He has challenged the temple's authority."
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rlh2hz4g2
He lets the words hang.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRmtagrKbQ
Zacharias:
"If we do not act swiftly, he will become a symbol, and symbols ignite revolutions."
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiiVK28i3A
The judges shift, suddenly more attentive.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj04apHSAYE
Judge 4:
"And your warrant? You sent it without approval?"
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRR33SH0M0f
Zacharias:
"Forgive my hastiness, but corruption spreads faster than bureaucracy. I acted to protect Providence".
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5fYIwBvdd
The fifth judge, the oldest, narrows her eyes.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmXTD8OrjJ
Judge 5:
"Or to protect your position."
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpM8tYIA9ZB
A ripple of tension.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwkgD6gEs6
Zacharias:
"my position is irrelevant. Temple survival is not."
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zno4TQmWO
The judges whisper among themselves, some disgusted. Some intrigued, all now emotionally invested.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxu0ez4MwmL
Zacharias has them.
