Chapter 225: Changes

The meeting had been an emotional rollercoaster for Khan. He had gone from utter sadness about the number of casualties suffered in the valley, cold anger toward Lieutenant Kintea for his insults, and pure bliss at the sight of the night. Yet, Liiza managed to add confusion to those feelings.

The meeting didn't give Khan the time to accept how many of his companions had died. He didn't need to control the discussion either since Lieutenant Kintea had no power over Zalpa. He had called Snow as soon as the night descended, so he could immediately understand what Liiza's gesture meant.

The elders were a topic that the Niqols mostly kept for themselves. They were one of the classified information that the humans weren't allowed to learn, and Khan had never probed too much. His species couldn't go past the tribes since Yeza handled that relationship, so his knowledge had always remained relatively vague.
