War Council

The Ersa had finished settling in the new god-given land. The new leaders gave birth to the Kardelen Caliphate, which had the emirates of Haidar, Farid, Nassim and Malek in the four cardinal points. They would respond to Caliph Rashid, protect their country from possible external attacks, and maintain order.

Rashid was in his office reading over and over the letter he received while looking suspiciously at the package. The two letters he had, only was one given to the council to be analyzed. They will have a meeting of states between the leaders of both sides in a few days. The letter only welcomed them as neighbors and looked forward to having them at the meeting. He explained the steps to follow to avoid alarming Espin and the Nest. They should not take revenge, not for now, instead it gave them the option of continuing to feign loyalty to the royal house to steal information and set the stage to bury a dagger in their back when they least expected it. He also gave them the initiative to be part of his group and to be able to freely trade with each other at a midpoint without interfering with their lands so as not to inconvenience them if they so wished.

There was information about the traffic and illegal deal that was handled under the table between Orsys, Sahmar and San Angeles. The reason and those responsible who expelled them from the land where they were originally from to end up wandering in the desert until they found Vhaeraun. How his god ended up locked up but the detail of how they found him and how they broke the contract was omitted. For Rashid that was the least of it since the council voted to follow the instructions in the letters and study how to achieve his long-awaited revenge by joining the group that helped them.

The headache increased every time he read the other letter addressed to him and Muhammad. They alerted them to the matter of Sophia, the church, and the nameless being lurking in the shadows. He urged them to keep quiet about the matter and the books that had been sent to them until after the meeting. The ledgers detailed Ashley's handling and purchases made in recent years. But there were names that Ray took it upon himself to mark to prevent Rashid from overlooking it. Among them were the names of many girls from his tribe and to finish annoying Rashid more were also those of his younger sister and his niece, who had a sale date, for 9 years from now, when they were in their full adolescence.

No doubt those names should not appear but there they were. The explanation was that the traitors of the Nest and Bubblegum had infiltrated from time to time to find girls in all the mafia circles, clans and guilds, which they indiscriminately sold to the slavers. They were people who worked for both Espin, Ashley and the church. With the Ersas, it was impossible to kidnap the girls due to the protection of their god. But the church planned to orchestrate the destruction of the relationship between gods and beings of this world in some way. For this they ordered to collect information from girls that would be useful in their full youth since nothing will interfere in their kidnapping in the future.

How Ray had taken care of the infiltrated rats in his tribe. He wanted everyone to agree when it came to attacking the neck of his oppressors, going with the gossip of traitors to the mob in general, showing Viktor's ineptitude to the entire Nest, and planning a full-scale war, so that they will murder each other. Muhammad read the rest of the books and his indignation grew. He couldn't believe that such a thing existed in the world. Unless they were already planning an all-out world war to eliminate the plagues.

Despite being tired, they could not let go of the madness that was spreading to the rest of the world. Rashid read the entire letter and at the end there was a postscript that asked him to remove the maids from the castle of Orsys and leave Prince Kenton alone since he was a pawn of utility, they only had to set the stage for his downfall and so, Sophia will not hesitate in show your nails and teeth.

This surprised Rashid as he found it strange that they cared about Kenton but then he dismissed all absurd ideas by reading the last paragraph. He got up from the chair to stretch his legs and admire the green and sunny city. Muhammad understood his nephew's train of thought better than anyone, so he just patted his shoulder to support his decision. He had to wait for the day of the meeting to meet his benefactors and future allies.

The days went by faster for everyone. The castle was ready to receive the guests. Each one was immersed in his own affairs. One group was training in the mirror world, the other was studying all the archives in the library, and the rest were working on fitting out their new homes. The children, for their part, were playing as Ray gave them full freedom until the next practice.

Meraki became more skilled with the assembly of his models and Zion helped him with his skill by creating mini golems that act as inhabitants in the models. Cydonia instead tried to understand how to use her power for something else, which was to transfer the soul from one being to another. Ray was amazed at the girl's ability but at the same time angry that Cydonia spent her time changing the souls of the animals in the house for fun. The chickens had the soul of weasels and these that of moles. He punished her severely by warning her not to use her ability on anyone in the house until she found the perfect guinea pig. For this he gave her an ant farm and she used them to fill Zion's golems out of boredom.

Nox used her spider web ability to not feel left out of the game. So Meraki's playroom ended up being the entire third floor.

Ray was so calm after his daily prayer that he took pleasure in not hearing screams or complaints, just enjoying the birdsong and the noise of the ocean while he drank his tea. In that, Tanji, Tuk and Iston came together seeking tranquility and enjoying the summer.

The day of the meeting had finally arrived. Iston went to find the guests. Rashid and his group know that they cannot approach the neighboring island without permission so they waited for the emissary.

When they arrived at the castle they were paralyzed when they noticed such a wonderful place, full of flowers that seemed to be taken out of a storybook. Iston guides them inside but several children cross them. They were playing when they notice the situation and apologize only to run to the playroom. The surprised guests observe Iston and he only tells them that they were not invited so they spent it playing.

They are led to the main dining room where the table was set for around 40 people. They sit down to wait for the other guests. They looked in amazement at all the decorations and valuables that numbered in the billions of nevas and wondered if it was possible that someone was that rich. The door opens to welcome the guests who greet everyone present and then take a seat.

Some were already known. The Red Sugars were grinning at them. The Ursini, the witches, the orcs and demons, on the other hand, were analyzed strangely. The door is reopened to introduce the host. Ray greets everyone.

-Welcome, for those who know me for the first time, I am the White Rabbit. Be free to freely express your ideas since this call is to establish the foundations of the next world war that will take place in the coming years-
