Chris's abilities were not that good, he couldn't manage to lift up his body to a certain level, so he designated a few members of the mages that surrounded him all the time and asked them to lift his body during the whole meeting with his people.

Due to their lack of strength, he had to use more than 10 mages to lift himself above the others all that period.

Most of them were exhausted because of the consequences of the triple full moon and also with attacking people from district 2.

However, they all obeyed him and did exactly what he asked for.

It was a day after that attack and people were confused and bothered by the consequences of what they did.

He was now standing in the air looking at them from above with a calm expression on his face, the sky was so gray, and the weather was still hot, yet rain was pouring all over district one, which helped a bit in reducing the hotness after that fire but not that much.

It was a joyous event, and those who attended and participated in the massacre looked like heroes who saved them from the bastards who would kill them.

Everyone was shouting their names and that made Arino so mad to the point where his face looked so red as if it was going to explode with anger, his wife was clenching his clothes trying to calm him down with fear in her eyes while he was breathing heavily , Arino hated Chris so much at that moment because he went too far with his plan.

While all the mages went with Chris , Arino stayed with his family to treat people because he knew some spells that could heal wounds. He didn't think that Chris called for all of them to terminate the evil act he committed yesterday.

.

His wife now held his hand while trying to take a look at his kid. She wanted to make him give up on talking and exposing his thought in the middle of the chaos but it was very difficult  .

" It has been a tough night, we had our fair chair of destruction last night, we lost a lot of us in the fire of the forest , these portals made us lose a lot of our loved ones, may their souls rest in peace, and we had also to protect ourselves from all kind of threats, and we succeeded….my people!"  Chris shouted while he raised both his arms in the air then continued;" Yesterday you proved to me and to yourselves that you are able to protect yourselves, be tough when times are very hard, well, i think even if we lived by ourselves we can survive , i am so proud of you "

A lot of applause and smiles and shouting from his people, they were proud of him and to them he saved them from an immersive threat to their lives.

" Stop " a man shouted in the middle of the crowd, he was an old man with wite hair and wrinkles all over his face. He was leaning on a tall stick because his physical abilities were not that good.

All of them just focused their eyes on his weak body when he started to say after grabbing their attention:" I was not there with you yesterday when you did the attack on the people from district 2, but I know that what you did last night was crucial and beyond acceptance".

People were angry at that old man for what he said. Arino finally calmed down when he saw that one man standing in the middle of mad crowds while expressing what he believed in.

" What do you mean by crucial, sir? " Chris said with  a smile on his face, clearly he was mad but with his personality no one could ever know what he really was thinking in that period.

" I told you, i was not there but my grandkid was, and since yesterday he been closing the doors on himself inside the house, for the horrors he saw" The old man answered.

"Maybe he is a kid and it was his first time seeing blood! kids cause a lot of trouble when they see blood, give him time and he will heal" A man said sarcastically.

" It is not what he said, it is what you all did, you didn't kill mages, at least not much of them, all you killed were people who were either, old, weak or injured"  The old man said with angry expressions.

" Now we are taking the words of a kid who couldn't handle seeing blood for granted, what we fought there was an external enemy, if they survived they would have done the same to us" The man answered.

Arino then got closer to the old man and stood right next to him then said:" Despite all that happened we are still talking this way, we lived in peace for thousands of years, we never had a conflict with other districts until the evacuation happened, i know, it was a very unusual event and no one was prepared to survive after all these disasters but the path that you chose is going to extinct our entire existence"

" Here come the shitty mage who chose to abandon our leader's orders, you don't have a saying in the matter because you already chose to be outside the picture while we are taking all the hit to protect your ungrateful as***"  The man answered Arino with angry expressions.

At that time Chris said:" If you are speaking about union and peace and respect you are a dreamy person and you have no vision of what our future is heading to, if we don't protect ourselves we will be doomed, as you leader i respect all of you but i don't tolerate anyone who might jeopardize your chances to survive, I told you before, your safety is the most important thing and i will guarantee you that at least"

Despite him getting a clear threat, Arino was not afraid of standing alone this time, that old man gave him the strength to defend what he believes in even if he was surrounded by thousands of people who said otherwise.
