Meanwhile, the Patriarch had moved on. He signaled to Augustus and Vena to follow him.
They remained at the party, but they moved to a side room for privacy. After they entered the small room, an invisible bubble appeared around them that cut off the sounds from the party. The bubble made it appear as if they were in a silent world.
The patriarch led them to a window with a view of the sky. He turned his back to the two of them and looked at the sky for a long time.
The patriarch didn't say anything for a long time. It made the three of them feel uneasy.
When the patriarch finally spoke, he asked a question. He said, "Augustus, what did you just see?"
Augustus replied, "I saw a boy who is too strong for someone at the first mortal coil. He should be at least twice as strong as someone at the tenth transformation of the first mortal coil."
