"I hope you calling us all here is for a good course Asmodeus." Her highness Axia, announced as she walked into the same cave Lord Asmodeus had brought Heracles to.
"It is." The king only said and gestured for her to sit with the others present in the room as well. Present there were, King Rufus, the dark fae king, Queen Axia, the light fae queen, Heracles, Lord Asmodeus, and the other rulers of the 7 kingdoms, consisting of a demon king of the underworld, Lord Mehmed, a witch queen, Queen Tania, and four human emperors of the four human empires with an a human empress of the fifth empire.
"I apologize for the means of transportation, but this is a matter of utmost emergency which is why I asked Heracles to teleport all of you here at a time." Lord Asmodeus explained.
"Yeah, yeah, get to the main agenda already." King Belial, of the third empire spoke in boredom, throwing his hands about to have the man proceed.
Lord Asmodeus sighed and continued. "My son, I'm afraid is going to attack any of your realms on the coming full moon night." The king started, earning himself gasps from the nine rulers in the room. "Yes, my son would be attacking any of the ten realms with a legion of his own."
"Outrageous. I see the father has provided his little sunshine with an army of his own eh." Lord Mehmed spoke in annoyance, of which Axia nodded her agreement.
"I did no such thing. In fact, I saw to it that he was locked away; it is rather unfortunate that my son has his own devious ways. He'll be attacking with a legion of undead and rogues."
"Undead?" King Rufus quipped in. "Are you saying that he's got dark faes by his side? Asmodeus, I don't mean to be rude but it seems old age is taking a toll on you. My subjects are loyal to the brim." The dark fae king argued.
"Look Rufus, I know how this matter is very sensitive to you, but believe me when I say, that my son has created undead and rogues on his own without the help of dark faes nor demons." Lord Asmodeus explained staring intently at both Rufus and Mehmed as he addressed the issue to both of them.
"Well clearly, it makes sense if he's able to create rogues, because he's half demon." The empress of the fifth human empire, Empress Thera, stated casually with her arms folded. "But to have him go extreme means he's a threat we all need to get rid of. Don't we all agree?" She continued, eyeing Lord Asmodeus in a very provoking manner. It was evident in her eyes that behind her words were the words of accusation and he knew that very well. It was only just a matter of time until one of them sated the obvious truth. King Avel of the second empire was the one to state the truth that pricked him deep in the heart.
"Of course Thera, we wouldn't be having this conversation in the first place if Mr. stubborn Asmodeus had allowed the boy to be killed at the right time. Instead, he chose to fight us and wean us off him and now see where we are." He scoffed and averted his gaze to anywhere but the annoying king.
"I know of the mistake I did and this is not the time to point it out to me. I called all of us here today to join me put a stop to my son. As it is, the boy has grown too powerful for me alone to handle." Lord Asmodeus annoyed said.
"This is certainly a battle of power and abilities. One of which we those of the five empires don't have. Wouldn't it be fair if we are exempted from this?" King Belial cowardly stated, earning himself disappointed gazes from the other rulers of which he triumphantly ignored.
"I know I'm the last person you would want to help right now, but this fight does not only involve me. It involves all of us. My son would stop at nothing to see us all fall."
"So then what do you suggest?" Lord Rufus questioned.
"I'm suggesting that this is where we have an advantage. My son does not know we are aware of his plans. So we use that against him." The room fell silent for a moment, as they all seemed to listen attentively to what the king had to say. "The demons, Lyc-demons, and witches have teleportation at their disposal. What we are going to do is assign trusted people of these three realms in all the other realms, where they'd easily spread word to us when my son attacks any kingdom at all. What we are doing here is trying to prevent a bloodbath. So I propose that when these people we assign to all the realms spread word of my son's attack, we as rulers be the ones to take the war to my son."
"Huh?" King Avel spoke. "Wait. What exactly do you mean by taking the war to your son?"
"What the king means is that," Heracles quipped in. "Together, we are all a powerhouse to be reckoned and we equally believe that, with all ten rulers fighting, the boy would certainly stand no chance against you. This if you look at it, is killing two birds with one stone. First of all, we get to put a stop to Eliot and secondly, save your subjects from unnecessary massacre." Heracles explained further.
"So if I understand you clearly, you are saying that in this fight, only us as rulers fight against your son and not our armies instead? Well in logical sense, we would be having the support from the army of whichever kingdom he attacks first. So then, the main aim here is to join hands and put a stop to the boy, because putting a stop to the boy means a stop to his legion. Is that what you are saying?" Queen Axia enquired with a very thoughtful smile over her face. It was evident she was impressed by Lord Asmodeus' strategy, as she flashed an approving smile at the man.
"Yes." Came the short reply from Lord Asmodeus. "So what do you all say?"
"I say we go for it."
"I say also say we go for it." The rulers agreed one by one.
