25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZ9k5VZG6Y
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.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprOMulu5qN
Zacharias bows — shallow — performative —
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ASIxQekvt
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."
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuh73RhWOb
The judges exchange looks, glancing amongst themselves.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFg7F4c2mZ
Judge 2:
"You speak of the accused, this Metro?"
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡco5Ji5Jun7
Zacharias's eyes flash hot, and bright.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXXD1FzsKK
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."
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkjOUKI4sG
The younger judge scoffs.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgWanE2Gle
Judge 3:
"You priest lost control of one village, and now you cry treason?
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtFf2nMR48
Zacharias steps forward, voice tightening.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5MQV8EP9h
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."
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6MzBn1OrL
He lets the words hang.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpLv40S1yO
Zacharias:
"If we do not act swiftly, he will become a symbol, and symbols ignite revolutions."
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMg3c4VgxPH
The judges shift, suddenly more attentive.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGgyx5NNxx
Judge 4:
"And your warrant? You sent it without approval?"
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRRGDJ9lik
Zacharias:
"Forgive my hastiness, but corruption spreads faster than bureaucracy. I acted to protect Providence".
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkCfQtr4ZR
The fifth judge, the oldest, narrows her eyes.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOWhr6HAUr
Judge 5:
"Or to protect your position."
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zwuxh4aWi
A ripple of tension.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeNF517mmw
Zacharias:
"my position is irrelevant. Temple survival is not."
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGndZCrHhB4
The judges whisper among themselves, some disgusted. Some intrigued, all now emotionally invested.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qLwgzRdFG
Zacharias has them.
