After reading these few sentences, my smile was unchanged and comfortable silence began to reign, until I began to break it:
" Thank you ! Dad, mom, Nomiko, Shiro and you Nath, I thank you. »
"Nah, it is we who thank you Yuichi, thank you for bringing him back, thanks to you, we have seen last time. "Adds my mother.
My father direct continued:
"Ah! This strong emotional day still does not seem over, is not it? »
"Yes, the Great 8 Patriarchs will not delay to their ad. There is not much time, let us hurry to turn on the TV and settle. "Said Nomiko.
The announcement is true, I had forgotten that they finally were going to appear for more than ten years without hearing about them.
"You think they'll talk about anything in this ad? "I asked
"Well, I do not really know. The latest announcement was to warn us that the past wars between Galtea and Tyria against Sirah and Dunyra had finally stopped. So for that one can expect the best and the worst. "My father announced.
"Hopefully this time also it will be the best. "Said my mother.
"Yeah, but to be on, we should already start turning on the TV, do not you think? "Their I asked.
" Yes, I'm going. "Nodded Nomiko.
She got up and went to the TV, pressed the button and the phone is lit. At the same time, she asked a question rather interesting.
"It's good, we're a little ahead, we still have five minutes before they speak. But it's strange that we learn that only two hours in advance. The last time the media had not announced a month before their speech making? »
It was my father who replied:
"Yes, indeed, it is quite surprising than we have known today, but hey, who knows, it might be a good omen. »
Five minutes passed peacefully until the intro to the announcement of the Great 8 Patriarchs is flashed on our screen.
At this moment, we five unconsciously made a start on the couch and we finally heard the beginning of this speech.

End of the ad. »
After finishing his speech, n ° 1 stepped back, turned and walked in silence towards the 7 others, who, too, began to walk to an altar stone this holding fifty meters behind them.
They stopped in front and began around with each a very precise place, surrounding a perfect circle the well-shaped altar, and at once, no more moved until a female voice breaks This silence:
"Bravo No. 1 beautiful speech. »
Another voice answered him, but it was different from that of No. 1, it was also a female voice, but they seemed to be a little older than the first, given the tone of the voice that it approached:
"Stop with this sarcastic air n ° 7, you know very well that our n ° 1 hates when it is called like that. »
A third voice, still different from the others answered him, it was this time serious and hoarse, different from that of n ° 1:
"You finished both? We are only between us to stop calling it by its name this faith, you can call it by its true first name. Is not March? »
