At the same time, somewhere in a small world entirely covered in forest.
The forest was gigantic, shadowy, and archaic. Its canopy was claimed by maple, spruce, and elm, and sparkling light dancing between the branches allowed for a diversity of plants to make use of the nut and seed-covered grounds below.
Swooping creepers suspended from the occasional tree, and a potpourri of flowers, which were seen occasionally, clashed with the otherwise monotonous forest grounds.
A variation of animal noises, which were caused by foraging beasts, resonated through the air, and formed a chaotic orchestra with the trickling sounds of a gentle river stream.
On a lone Hill stood a Palace, and that Palace was high up on the hill overlooking the forest, its many pointed towers giving it the look of an eccentric crown. The walls were a white stone that glistened in the summer sun, and the roof was grey slate. There are sculptures in front of the palace; these sculptures in front of the palace had been made long ago by masters of the craft; it seems to recount some kind of story, probably the second world war, the Bloody War, it was called.
The palace’s interior was beautiful; all stair rails were ornate mahogany, carved and polished, so they shined. Furniture was all handmade by master craftsmen. Nothing ever got dirty; in the center of the palace stood a giant golden door and behind these golden doors was a big hall.
In a middle of that room was a beautiful big Jade table; around this gigantic table, were more than Ten chairs, and sitting on most of these chairs were the big shot of the three continents.
Today, the world summit was about to begin, and the people sitting in this big room were here for this.
The women were sitting on the left side.
Sitting on the first chair, was the Pope of the Holy Church, Freya P. Claire, a beautiful woman even with a veil covering her face; she had golden hair, she was dressed in a White nun robe.
After her, was a white-haired woman, beautiful, with nice proportions and big breasts (D cup), but her expression was ice-cold; strangely, she was the mature version of Kaguya. This woman was the Ruler of the Peach Blossom Empire, Shirayuki Sakura, surnamed The Ice Empress. Kaguya’s mother.
Following her was another woman; she had beautiful green eyes and green hair, a nice form, she had elongated ears. This woman was Nui Yydrassil’s mother, the Queen of the Elven race, Elmyra Yydrassil.
Besides her was her little sister, the Principal of the Heaven Star Academy. Jasmine Rhea Yydrassil.
Sitting after Jasmine was another middle-aged woman; she had short blue hair and blue eyes; she was also a principal of a school, the Saint Star Academy, the second strongest academy. She was glaring at Jasmine wanting to provoke her, the latter didn’t even look at her, and because of that, she seemed to be pouting. Only one word could be used to describe her, Cute. She had the same height as Quinn Evelyn Asmodeus, almost the same features, but she was human, not a Demon. Her name is Elena McCain.
As for the men, they were sitting on the right side.
On the first chair, was Wratharis emperor, Leonardo Neos V, Leon Ackes Neos’ father. With his golden hair and golden eyes; he had a scar on the left side of his face.
After Leon’s father was a red-haired man, Luxiria’s emperor, Maximus Luxiria, was a handsome middle-aged man with red eyes. He’s Luxor’s father and Emia and Emia’s uncle.
Sitting after him, was the emperor of the Eastern empire, Ren Feilong, Ren Xiaosu, and Xiaowen’s father. He had long black hair and black eyes, expressionless face.
After him, was the emperor of the demon empire, the Asura Empire. Drakos Asmodeus, Grim’s Asmodeus father.
Sitting on the remaining chairs after the Demon Emperor, were the kings of four kingdoms affiliated with the four empires on the human continent.
Sitting on the edge of the table was an old man, probably in his 80; despite his age, he looked like someone who was in his sixties, with white hair and blue eyes. This old man was the head of The Council.
The Council was an organization established thousand years ago; it is constituted of the Human race, Elven race, and Demon race; they’re also called ‘Trinity’.
They are the decision-maker, symbols of world peace, and world judges. They refused to acknowledge the Vampire race and continued to hunt them. (Only the human race and demon race).
The old name is Friedrich Luxiria.
Friedrich was the first to speak.
”Welcome to all. I see some people are not present today, despite being informed about the purpose of this summit, which is to talk about that mysterious being who suddenly appeared. Well, we continue without them.”
When the old man from The council said that, nobody answered. He sighed before continuing.
”Does anyone among you manage to get a piece of useful information on the being that appeared?”
Leonardo Neos was the one to answer.
”Nothing has been found on that being until now. The only clue we had, was that this being had red eyes like blood. Nothing else. Your excellency.”
”The same thing on our sides” Maximus Luxiria, Ren Feilong, Drakos Asmodeus, and the other kings have also said the same thing.
Friedrich frowned as he feared nothing was found, but he still hoped someone had succeeded in finding something.
”Do the Queen Elven and the Ice Empress have nothing to say?”
Elmyra Yydrassil smiled, not answering; the Ice Empress remained silent, eyes closed.
As if he was sure they wouldn’t reply, Friedrich smiled before continuing.
”On our side, we found almost nothing. We decided to consult Mama.”
When they heard this name, everyone present was astonished, because they knew this Mama, she was an old lady, extremely mysterious, she was origin master with the power of divination. Her divinations were always accurate; everybody respected and feared her; she could dabble with the strings of your fate if you ever anger her. She also possessed a high level. Nobody wants to be on her bad side because of this.
Now, with Mama’s intervention, they were sure to have something on that mysterious being, even though the latter was level 2.
Friedrich sighed before continuing
”After consulting Mama, we didn’t get anything too useful; she just said a few broken words before falling unconscious. [do not anger…crimson calamity..]. Until now, she is still in comas. We don’t know what it means. All we can say is, it’s better not to anger this being if we ever found him.”
Everyone was astonished to hear this news; it’s as if cold water was poured on their heads. Even Mama couldn’t. Who was this mysterious being? Did he come as a friend or as an enemy? For now, nobody knows but better be cautious for a while.
While everyone thought of the mysterious being, only Leonardo was frowning, because when he heard crimson, he remembered Leon’s message. In which he says there was a new student transferred to his class who had crimson eyes, extremely mysterious. He knows that his son was jealous of this young man because he seemed closer to the twin goddesses.
Leonardo looked at Jasmine and suddenly asked.
”Jasmine, it seems that this year, you’re managed to get a few promising students; two of them got transferred to the special class. One of them is especially eyes catching; he has crimson eyes, an extremely rare eyes color, if I may say.”
Everybody looked at Jasmine; they were interested in the young man with crimson eyes; maybe he was the mysterious being. Well, it was unlikely, too young to be him.
Jasmine sighed before answering with a cold voice.
”Indeed, it’s as you say, he’s very talented, let me warn you, Leonardo, do not touch my student because of some divination, or I won’t be polite with you, and for your information, I’m not blind, nor I’m dumb, don’t play your game in my academy. Or else-.”
After saying that, Jasmine emitted a powerful pressure; everyone present was astonished because they could sense that she had become powerful, closer to Level 2.
Leonardo cursed his bad luck; who would have thought she would have become this strong? He was forced to apologize now; better not anger this woman.
”My apologies, do not take it to heart; I was just curious, nothing more. Be assured that I won’t do anything untoward towards any of your students.”
”Good that you know. My bad, you can continue.”
Jasmine said without any change in expression.
Two hours later, the world summit ended.
Until the end, the Pope of the Holy Church never opened her mouth even once, as if she was just a spectator and nobody bothered her. Freya was lost in thoughts; she wondered when her master would visit her? However, she was happy that her daughter had finally gotten a place inside the heart of the man she loved.
”It’s going to be fun.” She mumbled under her veil.
