THE LAST GIFT

FRENEMY

At first, everything was enlightening, and it was really exciting. Revidad and I were picked up by the Council, who were surprised to see the two of us. However, we covered it up by saying I was just his escort, hiding my real identity as a royal.

We were taken to their headquarters, the Centre Home, which was headed by the Council. It was then that I discovered their society was divided into factions. The Council, which presided over the affairs of the society, the Resistance, who checked the laws of the Council, and the Enforcers, whose duty was to ensure every law passed was obeyed to maintain order in the society.

I suspected that the Council's influence was what stopped the Resistance from taking over. We walked briskly as they gave us a formal tour of the Centre Home. It was unlike anything we had ever seen before - the technology was top-notch. We were shown to our rooms and asked to change and meet them in the top room.

The excitement and curiosity were building up inside me as I wondered what lay ahead. What secrets would I uncover about this society, and how would my presence be received? I couldn't wait to find out.
