"We have the identity of the five Malachai, sir."
Zavid Fawnton immediately stopped what he was doing, and looked up. The messenger had gotten his attention, a rarity for the young teen. He preferred to multi-task anyway and none of the news that usually came up was any trouble at all. It was something he could deal with later or send others to deal with at the moment.
However, this piece of information was different. It meant everything changed. The destiny he wanted to achieve was now right on his doorstep. And it was all thanks to the revelation of the identities of five unfortunate kids. They would help him achieve what he was meant to.
"...continue." he finally said, still maintaining his composure on the outside, showing no emotion at all.

And then there's Willa Strom. We've witnessed her constantly using her power on the principal, the most recent being today. Indigo Moralin's scrying power isn't hard to miss, either. Rory Lewis was discovered very recently. And finally, yesterday, one of our members spotted the elemental one using his powers in a clearing not far from here.

"Very well. You've done well." he said, almost robotically.
It was the highest praise anyone could get from the man and the messenger knew it. "Th-thank you, sir," he responded.
"And you're sure that none of the other clan know this?"
"Not at all, sir,"
"Good. Send in Jason Krane for me."
"Um...sir?"
"Yes?" Zavid looked up once more, the challenge present in his voice even though it sounded the same. The messenger knew this and instantly corrected himself.
"Sorry, sir."
"Better. Now go and get Jason for me." The messenger went to do as he was told. "I've got a little bit of recruiting to do..."
