The council.

Inside of a dimly lit room where there was only one odd circular table that housed twelf seats. Eleven of these seats were currently occupied by seven old men and four old women, all had an air of seniority and tranquility about them, but the experienced veteran would easily be able to see through such lies and see the horrifying monsters hidden beneath.

Each person was assigned a number that the others could easily see from their seats, the numbers reached from 012 to 001, with 001 being the only one where no one is currently seated. They were all currently staring at each other, some with their arms crossed and others leaning with their heads on their hands which are used as support.

Don't let their lazy attitude fool you as they are very much a threat to your life, it is said to believe that these people are each the best in their own fields. In a world where magic is now possible it shouldn't be a surprise that old people can be strong, in fact the fact that they are old is proof that they should be strong.

"Sigh 001 never shows up doesn't he?" Says a tired looking 003, it is not that this person has sleeping problems, it is because he is incapable of doing so due to a medical condition. The others in the room silently agree with him in disappointment, usually when 001 is present things get done faster and easier, but such a luxury rarely comes.

"Well let us get this meeting started as 001 won't be showing up, recently a field agent that goes by the codename 'Stoic' has reported to us that Subject#001 was spotted near the Gamma sector..." 009, an old woman in her seventies was talking before she was cut off.

"So what, if we haven't caught it yet why are you telling us this? We all have heard it already?" Interrupted 010, an old man with a scar that covers half his face.

"Let the woman speak 010, you need to learn patience. For supposedly being the best swordsman of your generation you're quite lacking in that regard." Mocked 004, an old man covered in muscles which earned an annoyed look from said swordsman.

"Thank you for defending me 004, but I think I can handle it. Where was I? Oh, yeah it was spotted in the Gamma sector and was in the personal range of said agent. We all have seen the video where this creature debuted and we had all agreed that it possessed some form of intelligence, now why would such a creature be no longer than 3 meters away from humans?" 009 said inquisitively, raising an eyebrow to the other members of the council.

"Could it be curiosity? So far it has been inactive and hasn't had any contact with human civilization except from it's first encounter. I think it is looking for answers." Said 011 with an American accent.

"That is certainly possible, when it was first spotted it showed signs of immaturity like a newborn, curiosity would be perfectly normal for it to show." A mechanical voice that belonged to 008 was heard.

"I think not, all the other subjects determined to have intelligence act completely different from subject#001, this might indicate that this one is different from the others." 012 interjected. He might be the newest addition to the council but that didn't mean that his input would be useless. You have to at least possess high intelligence to be even considered being a member of the council, it is basically a gathering of old people who didn't suffer from their old age.

…

The conversation had lasted for at least three hours consecutively, there were arguments and insults thrown around but none moved from their leather seats until the meeting came to an end when 002 interjected, dismissing everyone. 002 was the only one left behind when everyone had left but she wasn't alone in the room.

"So what do you think?" 002 asked a person resembling a shadow that stood behind her. Her question went unanswered for multiple minutes before the shadows spoke up.

"Initiate protocol G-01" Said the shadow with a hazy voice yet it didn't sound withered like the rest of the council, not even bothering to answer 002's question, but it seemed that what the shadow said answered 002's question clearly and she nodded and started to leave the meeting room behind.

When 002 left the room the shadow also departed by sinking into the shadows leaving no signs of its presence behind. It was clear that whoever this shadow was, he or she possessed some form of magical abilities that allowed control of shadows. It wasn't rare for people who had unlocked their magical abilities to be able to control some form of element like earth, fire, water or air but being able to control shadows was unheard of, that was because this ability was categorized under the special type.

At the end of the day, only 12 people knew about what happened inside of this meeting room, all sworn to secrecy and unable to tell any living soul. This is what the organisation was all about, eliminating all kinds of non human threats off the face of the planet without the entire population knowing.

The organisation is slowly becoming active and is starting to plan sinister things. What are the plans of this mysterious council with Osiris? That is for me to know and for you to find out.
