Act 2: Excommunication
[5 years ago – Etibar Aurel-Terran: Age 15]

"You demon spawn! You dare slander his Eminence Ruk! Who do you think you are?!"
In a great white hall, a booming voice echoed.
This hall was gigantic and majestic. The main entrance's archway alone was already over ten meters in height.
In addition to the majestic size, the hall was decorated in an alien-like yet tribal manner. The roof of the hall was decorated with patterns of natural phenomenon such as storms and scenic artwork such as lakes, rivers, mountains, and forests. However, what stood out the most were the dragon-like creatures carved onto both the roof and walls.
There were also seven giant pillars containing writings in the dragon language that supported this magnificent roof.
This was the Great Hall of Pain – the central structure representing judgement among the Arun people.
