A few I recognized from school and my own personal research into the different nations. I was glad to see Marcus and Marie-Claire, with her spear strapped to her back, walk into the room. Their eyes instantly met mine and all three of us nodded our greetings. To the common Avalon citizen, they would think it was a travesty of having Magical Creatures as leaders – which was ironic for many reasons – but we were not treated so poorly in other parts of the world. While Marie-Claire and I were probably the hidden ones, Marcus was a known Vampire. He has been the head of the Vampire Council for a few hundred years.
