"We all know why were all here!" A feminine announced, breaking the silence. It was Mira, general of the devil tribe. Out of the eight leaders present, she was the first to speak. All eight people were seated in the dimly lit room. We all sat around a large stone table shaped like a circle.
"We havent had one of these in ages. I miss our pow wows," Crassus, the incubus general, spoke next. His tone was cheery, but the nervous look on his face. Told me he wasn't as calm as he was leading on.
"This is no time for games, we all saw what happen today." Rogar of the beast tribe exclaimed. His words brought back the memory of what happened. The overwhelming energy coming from the princess was etched into my bones. I felt like I was in the presence of a true king, a natural apex predator.
"Ten layers! fucking Ten layers. There hasnt been anyone to awaken ten layers since the founder of the Esha!" Grom, the Goblin leader, shouted. I understood his shock. Gora had the potential to reach the tenth layer. It essentially means she had the chance to become a god.
"What was black element?" troll leader Grock asked. He was talking about the element Gora had unlocked. To my knowledge, I've never heard of a black element. (That girl is full of surprises, maybe I should have killed her sooner.) I wondered.
"Ivon, you're quiet as usual care to chime in on this black element? Raya, the imp, asked. The vampear didn't say anything, only shaking his head. He looked calm as he sipped a glass of red liquid. (Ivon the cold, why are you shaking?) I thought as I investigated the man. He had a small trimmer in his right hand. He covered it up by taking a drink every now and again. All of the generals were shaking up by today's events. I couldn't blame them; I, too, was hit with quite the surprise.
"What do we do Motus? We all know my dumb husband will annouce Gora as the next heir. Are we really going to let a human rule." Mira asked me. She was right. The king was obligated to choose the strongest child as the heir. Gora had awakened ten layers. There was no doubt she was the strongest. Letting her rule, however, would be problematic, to say the least. ( We can't let her dilute the demon blood.) I thought as the group waited for my answer.
"There are too many unknowns right now. Since the princess is unconscious, the king hasn't announced anything yet. Give me some time. There is also a chance the girl might never wake up." I said, getting up. I was about to head out, but I noticed the tension building in the room. The seven tribe leaders looked stressed and angry. When demons get mad, they get careless.
"I don't have to tell you not to do anything stupid do I? The king is in a bad mood. So, walk on egg shell or you may lose your head." I warned if Gorro decided to kill them, I wouldn't be able to do anything about it. Hell, if the king decided to kill me I would have a hard time feeling with him. After leaving them with my warning I left. I need to do so research on this black element Gora awakened.
( Little Gora, I wished you would've had a more mediocre awakening. You could've survived much longer.) I thought with pity. I like the girl personally, but I knew she would become a source of division in the demon tribes. I figured I could just marry her off to a noble and be done with her. Now, however, she had forced my hand. I had to come up with a way to get rid of Gora soon. I had witnessed the girl's swordplay. when she sparred with Mog's twin. I was the one that convince the king to force her to learn swordsmanship. With her potential, the princess will no doubt be a force to be reckoned with in the future. Better to deal with her now.
