Archmage Iode stood in between the nine cells that were in his either side.
"I wouldn't have gone as far as doing conquest if the nations of the world were unified, didn't discard the visions and kept telling their descendants, this is the only way to stop what's coming ahead".
All nine of the royals looked at him and thought the same thing. "Lunatic, crazy old man, Attention whore, fool, pathetic, power hungry man".
"I'll be taking my leave". The Archmage said as he turns his back and signaled to the guards to lock the door behind him.
"Is that the only solution? To start conquering nations because we discarded his visions? When did our hero turn to a psychopath! Queen Anastasia said.
"If not because this room is enchanted, that stupid Archmage would have died". King Gray said.
"Just as foolish as ever, if he wanted to, he could render you unconscious, this is the reason you never let an Orc make a suggestion, ugh". King Ellian complained.
"You, you tiny..."
King Gray was starting to raise his voice as King Balrog cut him off and said. "There is no need to bring your feud in here, we are all in this predicament after all".
After saying this there was silence in the cell rooms.

After leaving the cell chamber, Iode went to his room at the topmost floor of the tower he was residing. Iode is residing in the Purple tower which is found in the capital of the Wizards called 'Wizardsville'. The Purple tower is where the leader of the Wizards known as Archmage or Archwizard stays.
He sat back on a chair, purple in colour, with complicated patterns and designs on it.
"When did this all starts?" Archmage Iode was thinking as he thought of when he was young, his family, his parents, siblings, wife and his children, how happy he was.
"Mom, Dad, I know have said it multiple times, i know this is not what you wanted for me, this is not what you wanted of me, but i can't just sit and let some extraterrestrial lifeform to be the doom and end of us all".
"I promise, after I've completed my goal, after stopping this wicked people, I'll retire and join you. I'm not a saint, I've done so many atrocities after your death".
He stood up from the chair and went to the window. He looked at the cityscape, how peaceful it is. Lights shining across the street showing the beauty of the city in the night.
Iode smiled bitterly.
"I don't even know my descendants, whether they are alive or were killed by the Valkyries after my disappearance, i don't know".
He smiled again.
"Aren't i as bad as the people i sacrificed for my goal and there is no way to wash my sins away. Stopping these people, these aliens, is the only way to redeem myself".
"Gone are those happy days". Archmage Iode said as he closed the window curtains and went to bed, then he slowly close his eyes.
