Inside The Sorcerer Council Chamber, The Grand Elder Sits At His Seat Contemplating The Immense Power Showcased By Jason As He Plans His Next Move…
Grand Elder(Angry): Damn Them!
Grand Elder(Angry): Jason Was Alive This Entire Time, And Asura!!!
Grand Elder(Angry): I Thought He Died Alongside Malum Years Ago!
Then A Woman Walks Into The Room, Her Hair Tied Up And Glasses On With A Pile Of Papers In Her Hands…
Assistant Sorceress(Obedient): Grand Elder Sir, Urgent News!
Grand Elder(Calm): What Is It Now?
Assistant(Urgent): The Tribes Have Requested A Summit Council Meeting!
Grand Elder(Stressed): Now Of All Times? Fine.
The Grand Elder Grabs His Staff As He Walks Out Of The Chamber As He Runs Into Travis…
Travis(Bowing): Sir!
Grand Elder(Calm): I Expected Better From You Travis, Keep Slacking Off On Your Training And You Will Never Catch Up To Jason!
Travis(Nodding): Yes Sir, It Won't Happen Next Time!
Grand Elder(Nodding): Good!
The Grand Elder Then Teleports Away As Travis Sits And Thinks About Jason's Newfound Power…
Travis(Frustrated): Why Am I So Weak…
Ominous Voice(Menacingly): You Wonder Why You're So Weak???
Suddenly Travis Finds Himself Inside His Mind Scape, The Surroundings Around Him Are Pitch Black With Distorted Voices With Dread In Them As Suddenly His Inner Demon Appears Behind Him…
Travis(Struggling): I Can't Move?!
Inner Demon(Menacingly): Feel The Weight Of Your Weakness Weigh Down On You, As You Struggle To Move!!!
Inner Demon(Menacingly): Do You Know Why You're So Weak?!
Inner Demon(Coldly): You're Weak, Because You Still Hold Feelings For That Cursed Brat And The Girl…
Inner Demon(Coldly): You Doubt The Memories Of His Evil Deeds, Which Is Why You Held Back Against Him In You're Fight Yesterday…
Travis(Struggling): *Grunts*
Inner Demon(Coldly): Have You Forgotten What People Like Him Have Done To You? To Your Family??!
Inner Demon(Coldly): It Was People Like Him Who Dehumanized Us, And You Still Harbor Feelings For Them?!
Clan Child(Screaming): No, Stop. Please!!!
Inner Demon(Angry): All Of The Screams Of Our Family, In Agony Because Of Our Weakness!
Inner Demon(Angry): And You Spare The Child Who Is Just Another One Of Them!
Inner Demon(Calm): Release The Limit Of Your Power, And Trust No One Else!
Travis Then Finds Himself Back Outside Sweating And Hyperventilating As The Look In His Eyes Intensifies And Loses All Of Its Light As He Now Has A New Resolve…
Meanwhile At The Center Of The Human Realm, We Find Ourselves Inside Of A Dark Room With Torches Lit Up Around The Room As Five Seats Are Around A Circular Table…
The Summit Between The Tribes Begin!!!
Grand Elder(Commanding): Arise.
The Tribe Representatives Stand In A Synchronized Manner As The Representative For Tribe Number One States Their Name And Tribe.
Representative #1(Loud): Kojiro Nakamiya, From The Northern Tribe!
Representative #2(Loud): Hotoke Masayoshi.
Representative #3(Loud): Yaku.
Representative #4(Loud): Nora Carter.
Grand Elder(Curious): Who Called For This Meeting?
Kojiro(Calm): I Did!
Nora(Curious): What For?
Kojiro(Calm): It Has Come To All Of Our Attention That The Vessel For Malum, Jason Is Still Alive!
Grand Elder(Sighing): You're Aware Of That?
Kojiro(Calm): Yeah, With Him Lurking Around This World Is In More Danger Now Than It's Ever Been.
Kojiro(Calm): And With All Due Respect Grand Elder, People Are Starting To Lose Faith In Your Capability For Leadership.
Hotoke(Nodding): True, And Besides You're Failure To Kill Jason And Deimos Led To This World Falling Into Absolute Chaos!
Grand Elder(Annoyed): Get To The Point Or I'll Leave!
Kojiro(Sighing): Alright, I Suggest A Temporary Alliance Between The Tribes.
Hotoke(Opposed): Absolutely Not, If You Think I'm Gonna Work With The Old Man Then You're Outta Your Mind!!!
Nora(Shouting): Sit Down And Shut Up, Let Him Finish!
Kojiro(Calm): Thank You Nora, Anyway!
Kojiro(Calm): If We All Work Together, The Odds Against Jason And The Other Threats Will Be Greater Than They Are Now.
Nora(Nodding): I Second That!
Hotoke(Nodding): You All Do Whatever You Want, The Southern Tribe Will Not Work With The Likes Of Him!
Hotoke Then Makes His Way To The Exit But Before He Can Leave The Room…
Hotoke(Struggling): I- Can't Move!
Yaku(Coldly): Sit Down Hotoke…
Yaku Of The Western Tribe Sitting In His Seat Across The Room With An Eye Patch Covering His Eye As The Shadows Cover The Right Side Of His Face…
Nora(Thinking): A Binding Spell!
Yaku(Coldly): Let's All Relax And Think This Through, No Need To Be So Hostile…
Yaku(Ominously) Wouldn't You Agree, Masayoshi?
The Tension Rises In The Room With A Sense Of Hostility As The Tribe Representatives Show Distrust In Each Other, But Can They Set Aside Their Odds And Work Together?!
To Be Continued In Chapter Eight…
