In another corner of the Galaxy, Princess Celestia Asterion was meeting with the Sages of the Alfheim Dominion. These men were said to have been gifted with the rare ability of foresight, and many of them were ancient beyond measure.
Of course, they were bound by oath to only use their gifts for the Asterion Dynasty, and because of this, the Light Elves had been able to maintain a stranglehold on a quarter of the Galaxy for eons. However, whether or not an Empress believed in the words spoken by these Sages determined on the individual.
For example, while the previous Empress had been a fervent believer of the Sages and their prophecies, for whatever reason, Lunaria did not take their words with much salt. But this was not the same for Celestia. In fact, she held the prophecies of the sages with even greater regard than her grandmother.
