Jolly learned a few things about shield that Damon didn't even know which was he was the youngest out of all of his siblings on his planet and that the age gap was pretty wide. Shield had only heard stories and read books about elves, and dark elves weren't mentioned very often but he did know of them. this made jolly question shield about how he knew what he was which shield told him because of a certain item one of his siblings has that was told to him to have been belonged to and created by a powerful elf thousands of years ago. the power the elf used to create the item was strong and still resided in the item to this day.
Shield also felt similar energy within jolly as well and knew right away what he was.
jolly was headed towards the castle when Alice called out to him. she had made it to obsidian city four days ago. they meet her within beast free forest after sir hughes contacted miss grey about her return.
"Hey jolly, how is Damon." a red hair beauty called out to him.
"he's fine but there is no change with his condition, don't worry though he'll come back to us soon. I know he will. just then a well toned girl wearing white silk pants that were still tight enough to show her curves and a silk shirt was seen knocking on old man butchers door. her hair was blue and in a pixie style. she entered the building after a few knocks and closed the door behind her.
"what's she doing going there. uhhhhhh, I guess she's checking up on Damon as well." jolly said scratching the back of his head with a puzzled face. "oh really, well I'm going to check on him myself too." she then hurried to the door as well and didn't even bother to knock.
"sheesh, I really don't understand girls. Damon told me she was acting funny before she left, what's with the all of a sudden caring attitude." jolly thought as he walked.
Sir Hughes and Bison currently were walking through a massive corridor with gold and white clear cut marble stone. the corridor had massive pillars with a purple and gold long carpet on the floor. six men wearing white and gold metal armor with red capes and a gold trim around it were walking behind them as well as six in front of them.
They were in the heart of the capital and currently inside the castle.
"Malcolm the bull hughes,my god, brother it's been forever since I saw you." An older gentleman in blue and silver armor said out loud with a wide happy smile turning the corner to meet them. he was a slim but muscular well toned man with blue slick back hair in a long ponytail with silver eyes.
"Tesgara." sir hughes said deeply with a smile as they both gave each other a strong one handed hug clasping their hand together pulling each other in. sir hughes was so much bigger than him it almost looked as if he would snap that man's body in half with one squeeze.
"Tesgara, this is Bison he's the informant I told you about while on my journey here. "ah, yes it seems we have some issues and extremely important matters to attend. Bison, my name is Tesgara mostly known as the blue Lion Beast and the only person that has ever beaten this big monster here in his prime." he said jokingly while patting sir hughes shoulder.
sir hughes laughed a little. "ahhh, Tesgara if it's one thing I've missed about you it'll be that vivid imagination of yours my good friend." he said sarcastically with a smile.
they talked briefly a little more before Tesgara dismissed the guards and continued to walk. "I understand you wanted a meeting with the king but unfortunately he's currently dealing with a few personal affairs so he has organized a virtual meeting with the five kingdoms and their controlling officers and also known as the high council for you instead. all information will be relayed to him in real time as the meeting occurs for his decision on your friend and his people." tesgara said while walking.
They soon came to a big room with only a podium in the center. on the walls there were four crystals spread apart around six feet. after they entered, from another door on the other side of the room four more people entered wearing different color types of armor. they were there on the kings behalf and were part of his royal guard's. there were eight members of the royal guard in total and this included Tesgara. the other three royal guard's never left the kings side which was why all eight weren't there.
there were two women and 3 men in total now that were there on behalf of the king which took lead behind Tesgara. the other four royal guards stood near a corner of the room as Tesgara started the contact sequence on the pedestal. soon the crystals glowed and then four large transparent screens appeared with one figure in each. one woman and three men could be seen.
The meeting was now underway. each kingdom was being represented by their most trusted people and not their kings or queens. Tesgara was a special case, he wasn't just a royal guard he was also part of the high council which were a group of people from each kingdom that would handle and make decisions on behalf of their kingdom. these people were very smart, powerful and great tacticians. they were widely respected but not by each other.
Tesgara started the meeting with a few words about why this meeting had to occur and then got to business.
"I Tesgara. second member of the high council, representing the Ashwafala kingdom give my consent."
"I, Marvok. fourth member of the high council representing the South Tijira kingdom give my consent." a young blond haired man with green eyes spoke.
"I Sahara, third member of the high council representing the North Tijera kingdom give my consent." A beautiful woman with burgundy eyes and white long hair says.
"i, Octo, first member of the high council representing the vervaineann kingdom give my consent." A brown skin man with a mohawk full of dreadlocks. spoke deeply.
"I, Morocho, fifth member of the high council representing the almighty Crown kingdom give my consent." a muscular pale male with spiky long red hair pointing straight up. spoke confidently with his arms folded.
with that sir Hughes was given the floor to speak as Tesgara stepped aside.
Three of the high council members immediately reacted to seeing him. "Malcolm, it's been a long time and it seems you've kept yourself up very well." the beautiful woman with burgundy eyes says while smiling. "why thank you sahara, It is always a pleasure to see and hear your beautiful voice." sir hughes says making her blush.
"Malcolm the bull, last time I heard you were somewhere hiding and trying to live a normal life. whatever news you bring must be interesting to get you to come out from under that rock of a home you were in all these years." the fourth member named Markov slickly spoke in to which sir hughes chose to ignore his sly comments. "hmph, good to see you too Markov."
"it's nice to see you again my good friend." Octo, the first member of the council said with a smile. which sir hughes repeated the same back to him with a good gesture.
Morocho the fifth member just scoffed at the sight of sir hughes which didn't go unnoticed. sir Hughes began by informing them more about the attack on the city he was living in and as well as the race called mongrels who helped him save his people a defend the area. he explained in great detail while mixing in lies here and there that would benefit themselves.
"Tesgara could you please bring in what I have brought for further proof and afterwards my companion Bison here will share a video of what we are dealing with that will provide all the evidence you need.
earlier before entering sir Hughes had given the dead bodies of the orc and Bane to Tesgara men and also handed over the orc which was still alive. the creatures were dead and now inside a odd shaped pod to preserve their features such as flesh, bone and skin. afterwards they brought in the orc which were in thick iron shackles from his wrist to its feet.
They all looked at the orc as if it's very existence wasn't a problem because they could tell its power was practically bullshit compared to theirs.
"so this thing is what we should prepare for. hmph, hiding in that pathetic place you called a town must have made you soft and weak. I never knew why the others respected you so much back then and Damn sure don't know why now." spoke Morocho strongly.
"Just like always Morocho you lack the depth of perception. you see this creature as a simple ant but you didn't put the information I've already told you together. you have always been a fool." sir hughes responded bluntly while not even looking at Morochos screen.
"I want you to tell me that to my face, I'll show you who the fool is you pathetic overrated bastard." Morocho shouted.
Tesgara, permission to let Bison take the stand. I don't have time for a man with a child's temper and way of thinking." sir Hughes said not caring about what Morocho said.
