WITHIN THE DARKNESS, HUMANITY WILL ALWAYS FIND A WAY AND IN THE darkness called evolution. Humanity was able to find a way through.
Five years after the coming of magic and the creation of the two new human cities. The new humans demanded one thing after another in terms of food, and energy supply but mostly independence from the world's government.
Due to constant demand, the magic parliament was created as a subdivision of world government. This parliament was in charge of dealing with matters concerning new humans. The magic parliament only consisted of eight members from across the world. They were all strong individuals each ranked in the S class magic users.
These individuals didn't only have strong magical abilities. They had their powers they defined as 'the gift' which was a very rare power awakening that all the eight ministers had experienced.
The leader of the ministers is known as Dante O' Folio, he is the founding member of the ministers and the leader of the parliament of magic. He is the most powerful mage in the world because of his vast abilities.

Adrian Tally stood with his wife as they both stared at the Baltic sea which was north of Europe.
They were holding hands as they were letting the soothing feeling of the seashore go through them before they attend the parliament meeting.
This meeting was supposed to happen a while back but when Ralph got hurt after fighting the demon lord they had to put the meeting on pause for them to look after their child.
The meeting had been on hold for two weeks and now, it was happening.
And they were nervous.
Adrian chuckled softly, "They must gave found out everything," he said.
Christine faced him. She is slightly shorter compared to her husband so she practically looking at him from down.
"We must protect our son at all costs. Long enough for him to at least destroy the demon lord," she stated.
Adrian said nothing.
They both stepped on the water and started to walk on the surface like they were walking on a normal floor.
Ahead of them, the entire sea came down and the waves stopped along with the wind.
They continued further till they walked through an invisible force field that made a huge floating mansion appear out of nowhere. The mansion was the parliament headquarters, it was a huge replica of the white house in Washington D.C the only difference being that this one was floating on water.
They arrived on the steps that led inside, they climbed up and the doors slowly opened as they walked in.
Both Adrian and Christine found themselves appearing immediately in the meeting room.
Everyone had already taken their seats around the oval-shaped brown table.
They all looked upset but mostly the man who was at the far end. He was in a polyester brown suit without a tie and looked like he was in his late fifties. He had bright green eyes and his face looked like he had just had plastic surgery because it was so stretched and looked like he could give a single emotion. The man's name was Dante, the head of the ministers.
Adrian and Christine took their seats and the meeting began.
Charles was the first to stand up. He had his black shades on and was dressed in a long overcoat, a turtle neck shirt, and a pair of grey gentleman trousers.
"This meeting has been called because of the previous incidents that have been happening in the supernatural world," he said,
"I thought we don't involve ourselves in supernatural matters," one of the ministers immediately spoke. She was an Asian woman with very long and shiny black hair. She was dressed like she was from a party in a sparkly sleeveless dress.
"We don't, Scarlet," Charles said, "but of recent. New humans have been involving themselves with the supernatural starting with the red diamond,"
Scarlet grumbled, "That's impossible Charles, humans can't even get to the supernatural world. They can't even remember supernatural beings because of the curse,"
"But we were able to…" a minister added to Scarlet's words.
"Shut up Sebastian…" she pointed at the minister with a furious look on her face.
"How did you get this information anyway?" she turned to Charles,
"I have my informants from Tlavacus," he said. There was an attack on the capital during the summit meeting that was going to take place. It was being spearheaded by the demon lord,"
Scarlet said nothing. Charles' information sounded authentic.
Dante suddenly asked, "And what did he want?"
"The diamond. It has the power to destroy all supernatural kind and is the compass to the holy relics, powerful instruments that if in the wrong hands means the end of us all,"
Dante sighed.
"So you're saying the demon lord is hiding amongst humans?' Dante asked,
"Yes, I believe that is how he has been recruiting new humans to join his army and fight for his cause," said Charles,
Adrian suddenly blurted, "The vampire progenitor is here and she's hunting for him," he said.
"Here? Where?"
"She is staying at my place and she's helping my son with training," he answered confidently, he assumed they already knew what his son is.
"Speaking of your son, Mr. Adrian, and Mrs. Christine. Your son was spotted at the gateway leading to the supernatural world with a phoenix. Would you mind explaining to us why you lied about your son's magical abilities?" Dante lashed out at the two of them,
Christine frowned then she finally spoke. "Three weeks ago our son was delivered to a hospital, dead. They claimed that he fought the demon lord and he died in the process,' she said,
"We are not superheroes Dante, My Lord. We are humans, and I knew that if you all found out that my son has S rank magical abilities. I know you would bring your dirty hands on him and make him a government pet. Just like how we all are, hiding the truth from our so-called own kind," she made air quotes.
Dante stared at Christine then snorted, "So it was your idea?"
"Yes…" she answered.
"Why don't you let the boy decide? He might want to support his kind," Dante spoke…
Christine squeezed her hand into a fist, then slammed it on the table. There was a flicker of electricity in her bright blue eyes.
All the other ministers faced her.
She thrust from her seat and then gazed at Dante, she was angry, "We were warned about the Evil gods and you are still thinking about a pointless war. None of this matters if the evil gods go through," she raised her voice.. trying to remind him.
A few days back, the current vampire progenitor Lucas visited asking for an alliance with the ministers to stop the demon lord from finding a way to the dark dimension. Because if he does, he would be exposing our world to the Evil gods, she didn't know what they do or what they are. But just the sound of it gave her goosebumps.
Dante smirked. "I will find the demon lord and kill him myself," - he stood up and stared at Christine with a fierce look--
"Meeting adjourned,"
Those were his final words. Then he teleported away.
