These two crafts landed on the flat surface.
Two beings exited from these crafts.
One being was as tall as an average human and was dressed in a black robe which seemed to be created from the leather of some unknown being, as seen from the fur it had. Nothing was visible of this being. Everything was covered in one or other type of material. In fact even the light around it seemed to be bending and avoiding it.
The other being was over two times as tall as an average human. It had the same humanoid features with two legs and arms. Instead of fingers and toes there existed claws which seemed sharp from the light reflecting from their blades. It had silver hair, and a silver scale on the nape of its neck. As the being opened its eyes, its silver vertical irises could be seen.
As these two beings moved towards the four humans standing in front of them, they were astonished. The creatures in front of them, which called themselves 'Humans' , were not at all intimidated by their presence and there was no reaction at all visible on their faces. It seemed as if it was just a normal occurrence for them.
Then, one of the humans took one step forward and handed a device which looked like a small earpiece.
{No need homan, this noble one does not utilize normal conversing means.}
The being with the silver hair said, while the other being just moved his head horizontally to indicate its response.
The human nodded calmly and gestured to them to follow. He then along with the other three humans guided the two beings towards another room. From the gait and posture one could see that the movements made by these four humans were highly synchronized, which caught the two beings with surprise. They did not expect that such a primitive race which could hardly attain space travel could display such discipline and valor.
After walking a long corridor and many turns they reached their destination.
In front of them was a large door made of just wood, but the ancient and heavy aura that it emitted caused even the two unknown beings to frown.
The four humans stopped and parted left and right equally, gesturing for them to enter.
-Creak-
The two beings turned their heads towards one other and the doors opened with a creak.
At the other side of the door was a huge room, there were four humans standing at the edge, each of them wore a military dress with a crimson collar patch and five golden glittering stars.Their military caps were engraved with characters from an ancient language in the order, 'ऋ', 'स', 'य', 'अ'.
The two beings entered the room and bowed their heads in greeting, towards the four humans.
{This noble one, is named Orn by the Void Sovereign. This noble one greets the Four Monarchs.}
The one with the silver hair conveyed, while lowering its head.
"Forgive me for my manners, but the Lord hasn't bestowed me any name. This Envoy greets the Four Monarchs."
The other being conveyed its message, which sounded more like a wailing wraith.
The four humans being referred to as the Four Monarchs were not bothered by this and nodded their heads.
Out of the four the one with the symbol ऋ spoke in an authoritative tone.
"You may raise your heads. Have a seat. We shall wait for the Sages, before hearing your responses."
-Rumble-
Along with a rumble, chairs rose from the ground made of the same material as the floor.
The Four Monarchs sat on their respective seats without any other words.
The two beings were not bothered by this and quietly took their seats as they waited for the Sages to appear.
In this time, the two beings were quietly judging the Four Monarchs who even their own Sovereign and Lord were fearful of. These Four Humans were the source of endless trouble for their archenemy and were too powerful to handle. This could be judged simply by how just by speaking, their aura made the two beings tremble. In fact they felt goosebumps all over their body, as if one small move and their heads would roll out of the room.
After some time, the aura of the room suddenly changed.
Everyone could feel Seven horrifying presences in the room. These Seven beings were the pillars of the planet. Only these Seven beings could handle the Overlords of the other races and even emerge victorious. Alas the Humans were very far behind their technology, thus they were struggling quite badly in this domain.
{Begin the meeting.}
An aged voice reverberated in the room. The Seven Sages were now present and the meeting could begin.
The one with the silver head, arose from his seat and bowed again.
{Orn greets the Seven Sages. The Void Sovereign was delighted to hear that you would form an equal alliance with the Kingdom of Void. The Kingdom of Void has already accepted the alliance and would provide all the necessary help needed.}
After saying this he looked nervously at the Four Monarchs.
The Monarchs nodded and one of them spoke.
"Very well. The help of the Kingdom of Void would very likely change the flow of this age-old war. As for the necessary preparations and other details, our Academy shall contact the Kingdom of Void for it."
Orn nodded and once again bowed, taking his seat.
The other being who referred to itself as Envoy alighted and bowed.
"This Envoy greets the Sages. The Shadow Race too agrees to the alliance, but due to the natural restrictions of our race, we shall not be able to aid in the battles. Instead the Lord has agreed to form an alliance to share, research and develop weapons with the collaboration of the Kingdom of the Void. These weapons shall be developed with the aim of countering the enemy's weapons and artifacts."
The Four Monarchs turned silent at this. They waited for the Sages to make a decision.
{Hmm. Although this was not the actual aim of the alliance, we understand.}
Then the Monarch continued.
"The Human Race shall accept this proposition. Our personnel from the Academy's Research and Development division shall contact the Shadow Race to formulate the future cooperation plan."
The Envoy of the Shadow race nodded and sat down.
