Few could keep their composure, even members of the Guardian Corps charged with maintaining order were pale-faced—an instinctive reaction from the immense pressure of a higher order of life.
Yet they held on to the belief that Green Shadow had weathered many storms; how could a calamity strike during the splendid moment of the city's foundation ceremony!
