<Side Chapter> The Gathering

<3rd PoV>

The room was empty devoid of any living being, only filled with a giant pentagon shaped table with specifically 5 custom thrones. They were symmetrically placed on each side around the table. The room is giant.. no it's an understatement. The room is massive on itself. It's basically a main castle room but with no roof as if anybody looked up they could see a stunning yet terrifying view. The sky was dark blue like that of an eternal night with the only source of light coming from auroras that were in the sky. From each throne there is a walkway towards the throne from a door that looked very small because of the size of the room.

The room was filled with countless arts that is directly carved into the wall, the table, the walkway, the floor to even the smallest possible bits. From each of the pentagon sides the arts also differ with each other.

The first side is the one that is on the flat side of the pentagon. It's throne was 'chaotic' themed. The color theme of the throne was interesting. It has the combination of black, white, red, yellow, and electric blue. The dominant color of the throne is red with the edge of it being black and white. There are also multiple fire like patterns that is electric blue colored and cross like patterns that is colored black. The throne is also decorated with multiple mousetraps sticking to the throne.Behind and on the back of the throne there is a word 'rat' with mouse features pattern on it. The armrests of the throne were different colored with the left one being yellow with a huge black diagonal cross on it, meanwhile the right one is red with the electric blue flame patterns.

The walkway also has the same color scheme as the throne. The door itself has a giant 'rat' word written on it with the same pattern like on the throne.

.

On it's left is another throne but this time the theme is also very unique like the previous one. This time the main color is brown with no other dominant color.

The back of the throne has 5 different sized clockwork engine system rotating simultaneously while creating no sound at all. From the top to the backside of the throne is decorated with owl feathers that were placed together that it looks like a cloak of feathers. On it's armrest there are 2 lanterns hanging of the front of it. But the most intriguing part is what the throne itself is made from. The brown color did not come from paint neither from the decorations. But it came from it's building material which is... paper.

Yes. The brown color came from the paper that was used to build the throne itself. But despite it was made out of paper, it was very sturdy. It was sturdy enough to hold multiple clockworks system and multiple lanterns on it.

The walkway also is made from the same material with the same color. But it's entire layout was decorated with a art of moving clockworks. The door itself was quite plain with only having a mark that looked like a tiara with the edges of the door decorated with repeating diamond patterns.

.

Right next to the previous throne is a throne that is 'space' themed. It's unique design with a 'space' theme made it almost stood out the most. The throne was colored completely black that looked like it absorbs every light. The throne was decorated with hundreds if not thousands of small little sparkling gems that resembles the stars in the night sky. Some gems were bigger than the other and some of them even made some weird patterns with weird shapes.

On the armrest it was decorated with multiple mini sized planets. They were each colored pink, white, and dark blue. The legs of the throne was also made from the bigger sized mini planets with almost the same color only adding light brown.

The walkway was colored dark blue like the nightsky. On it there were thousands of small stars that is shining. Besides the stars, there are also multiple galaxies and other countless things. The walkway looked like the projection of the nightsky itself.

On the door there are multiple of the mini-sized planets hanging. The color and decoration were pretty similar to the walkway with an addition of a large symbol that looked like an annular solar eclipse.

.

The next one is a throne that is completely made out of a tree. The tree has been chopped in half leaving the stump to sit on. The armrest of the throne is also an extension from the stump with soft and shiny green leaves covering the whole throne. The back of the throne is basically a small tree that grew tall and was sprouting beautiful pink flowers making a gorgeus and elegant decorations for the throne. The walkway was naturally beautiful.

It was a simple walkway like that in a park but the sides of it were completely covered with different types of plants. From small trees, flowers, to even grass. Heck it also has a few small ponds with different water plants on or in it. The door was a completely wood door. The outline of the door was made by the interwined branch that formed a spiral. On the left of it was a big tree similar to the one on the throne.

.

The last one was at the right of the first one. The throne has a base color of an icy blue shade. The back of the throne instead having a normal leaning place it became a giant circular clock that is visible form both the front and the back. The clock was indicated with roman numerals. On the middle of the clock was a center point that is marked by a golden ring with a icy blue heart in it. The minute and hour hand of the clock have the same design but different sizes. They have a sharp and shiny silver tip with a golden back.

(A/N: Basically her sword designs)

The legs of the throne were sand clocks that are real with real sands in them slowly falling. The sand clocks hold the throne in place yet they did not attached to the throne itself. Instead the throne was floating a little but not too high. This was done to give the sandclocks room to flip itself.

The walkway of this side is pretty normal with only having a perfectly reflective ice as a path that reflected the stunning auroras. The door itself was also made out of Ice so reflective it looked like it was a mirror. The only thing special about the door is the fact that there is a clock with the same design as the throne on it but on a smaller scale.

.

The room even until now after the reader finished reading the description of the room was still empty. But suddenly..

*BANG*

"HEYA!" An enthusiastic voice came from the first door. From the door came out a shilouette.

"Aw.. no one's here yet." The voice seemed a bit sad but did not bother about it too much.

"When do you think they will finally come, Mr. Squeaks?" She suddenly asked somebody named 'Mr. Squeaks' a question.

"*Squeak* *Squeak*" Squeaking sounds suddenly could be heard. The source of it was on top of the head of the mysterious girl.

"Right! Right!" Without us knowing what's the answer to the question she nodded to the answer. She approaches her throne when the place suddenly light up more. Finally her appearance was finally revealed.

The mysterious girl was a short girl only around 149 cm tall. She has red hair with a few strands being white with the tip being black. She wore a shirt that exposed her shoulders and belly. On the shirt there was a word written 'Rat' with the same design as on the throne. She also wore a short skirt that barely covers her legs. But the most intriguing part about her was that she is wearing a spiky collar on her neck with the key hanging off it. Also she has animal features on her but it's not the usual cat or fox or even dragon, but a rat! She has the animal feature of a rat. She has the giant ear that is colored similarly to her hair. On the left ear there was a mouse trap sticking to her ear. She also has a rat tail with ribbons tied on it. On her hips were two mouse plushies each colored red and electric blue. She has a wild smile on her face when she is approaching her throne.

"Ah, sorry I forgot about the meeting" Suddenly another voice could be heard. The voice sounded relatively low-energy and quite shy. When she hurriedly approached her throne her shilouette lit up revealing her appearance. She has a very long light golden brown hair with a pair of feathers on top of her head. She dresses in a brown cloak secured with a ribbon. Mumei also wears gloves that are fingerless on her index and pinky fingers. She has a belt wrapped around her waist with a lantern, pouch, and small dagger around it. Below her outfit is a pleated skirt. She has leggings with her right leg reaching above her thighs and the left leg below her thighs, and wears brown boots. Based on her appearance she resembled an 'owl'. Besides her there is a floating piece of paper bag with two holes resembling eyes and a drawn mouth.

"It's fine, It's fine! It's still early after all. Isn't that right, Mr. Squeaks" The 'chaotic' rat girl eased the shy owl girl worries.

"*Squeak* *Squeak*!" Mr. Squeaks also agreed. The two talk to each other but it's more like the 'rat' talking to the 'owl' while she's only listening.

"Ah, hello everyone!" Not long after a new voice could be heard again. This time the voice is very cheerful with a lot of energy. She did not waste time and immediately sat on her throne. When the light shone on her, her appearance was revealed.

The cheerful girl was quite tall around 169 cm tall. She has cream colored hair that is tied into a twintail that is held by a mini planet hairclips. Her skin was brown matching her hair colors and clothes. She wore a cream colored dress that exposed her shoulders and the side of her big chest. Besides her there was a floating golden ring with two sharp spikes pointing outwards. In the middle of the golden ring was a weird creature resembling a worm but with hands, it also has a smile. The floating golden ring is following her while spinning around.

"How are you guys doing?" She asked with a very cheerful voice. Even though her appearance was quite mature but her personality is quite childi-... *ahem* I mean kind.

"I'm fine, thank you.." The 'owl' said shyly.

"Hahahaha! I'm fine! Seems like your still as childi-" When the 'Rat' was about to finish her sentence. An extremely powerful space distortion blast suddenly went past the 'Rat' face. The blast missed her by a centimeter and when it hits the wall on the back it was so powerful it erased the space on the radius of the explosion.

The 'Rat' looked behind her at the aftermath of the blast and smiled wryly. She then without skipping a beat waved her hands in a 'chaotic' manner. Instantly, the space that was completely erased sewn itself completely. But when she looked back towards the culprit she already completely ignored her words earlier and was talking to the 'owl'. The 'Rat' only released a tired sigh seeing the 'Space' behaviour.

Not long after the last two member arrived. The earlier of the last two was the mysterious green-haired girl with a motherly aura. Besides her was a Kirin that is escorting her. This was of course Fauna. The last one to come has the most unique entrance between all of them.

*CRACK* *SHATTER*

The door that is made of the most reflective ice anyone ever see shaterred into pieces. The shaterred pieces were so well cut that it's almost impossible. From behind the door a gorgeous woman could be seen. When she walked out the door immediately fixed itself by reversing itself like reversing the time. 6Because of the reflexive walkway the light on her side was much more making her appearance immediately visible.

She was a woman with a heavy cold yet kind 'big sister' aura. Her eyes were ice cold with the icy blue color. On top of her head was an object resembling a clock with no number indicator. She wore an elegant white and black dress that showed her cleavage quite well. On the middle of her chest she also wore a ribbon with an etched locket. In the middle of the locket was an icy blue heart. Different from the others she wore a black thigh highs that almost completely covered her legs. On her hands were a sword that resembles minutes hand and hours hand on a clock. She silently and elegantly walked towards her personal throne and sit on it silently.

"*Whistle* A great entrance as always" The 'Rat' whistled with enthusiasm. She has a prideful look when she was praised.

"Naturally, I am perfect after all" She said with ultimate confidence like it was very natural. Fauna and 'Rat' only chuckled hearing her statement. Meanwhile 'Owl' is looking at her with stars on her eyes. While 'Space' is only smiling at this scene.

"Okay! Now that everyone is here.." The 'Rat' stopped abruptly and looked around. The others also immediately got ready and serious on their own way.

"Let the -Council- meeting.. began!" The 'Rat' formed a wide smile on her face.
