The Awakening Of The Dormant Princess -Epic Comeback-(ON-HOLD)

Chapter 31: (Dark Council)

(Third Person's P.O.V)

~Ciardha; The Dark Castle~

"The exact date of the Adarakira's opening gates will happen on the 7th of September, My Lord." Xevrix informed Lord Darkar.

Darkar hummed, looking deep in thought.

"And it will end on September 18 of the next week after that."

"It's still a bit far ahead." Lord Darkar commented.

"Well, there is the trial week, My Lord." Said a woman's voice. All eyes turned to her.

Lord Darkar's brow raised in interest. "Trial week?" He asked.

The woman nodded. "Yes, My Lord. The Trial Week happens three weeks before the tournament. If I remember correctly, the start date would be on August 17, it continues until August 28, am I right, Xevrix?" She asked Xevrix who's in front of an advanced looking laptop.

Xevrix nodded. "Yep, that's correct, My Lady."

"What happens in the Trial Week?" Lord Darkar asked.

The woman who spoke earlier gave Xevrix a look. "That's your cue."

Xevrix rolled his eyes. "It's actually the Trial Tournament Week, My Lord, all the students, rather schools, who are going to participate in the tournament go in a trial stage for two weeks. In other words, it's a try out for the games, competitions, and contests that are made for the tournament. It's more of a demonstration to try out the games to get the student competitors ready and understand the rules better to get them accustomed." He explained.

"Like a practice." Lord Darkar murmured.

They nodded.

"But the opening of the gates won't happen until September 7th is it not?"

"Yes, Your Excellency. The Trial Tournament Week will only be open to all the schools who are going to be taking part in the official tournament. It won't be open to the public, well, not until the official day of course. The audience will be the students themselves, and of course, the representatives, the heads, and the rest who are going to get involved for the trial week." Xevrix replied.

Lord Darkar smiled. "So, do you mean you all get to be there with the rest of the students from the other schools earlier?" It wasn't a question.

Xevrix nodded. "Basically, My Lord."

Lord Darkar hummed, seemed pleased, his eyes had an evil glint as though he was planning something. "Then I trust you all that you'll know what to do by then?"

They all look at each other, sharing the same feeling, as a smirk spread through their lips. "We do, My Lord." They all responded in unison.

Lord Darkar gave them a nod before shutting off the hologram call.

"So how are we doing it this time?" Bates asked, running his tongue over his teeth with a hungry look in his eyes.

They look over their Lady, who was the very leader of the Dark Council.

The Dark Council, the second highest powerful authority in Black Dimension under the command of Lord Darkar. Ever since the fall down of the Quintet Of Darkness, the Dark Council has resurfaced. They have always existed but they worked in the shadows while the Quintet Of Darkness worked in the light, keeping them under the radar in case the Quintet made any mistake or trouble regarding their duties as the Quintet Of Darkness.

Now that the Quintet Of Darkness has fallen, the Dark Council took a step up to do their work, both external and internal affairs of Black Dimension. Not that they were ever fond of the Quintet Of Darkness nor were they dismayed that they've fallen apart. After all, they never get along, always competitive who'll get the most of their Lord's favor. The Quintet always tried a little too much, excessively eager to the Dark Lord's approval, specifically Selia. They were rather pleased that the Quintet had fallen apart, except Coni who's still around, but it was unlikely he could ever work on his own without the support of his former members. So their Lord just decided to take the Quintet of Darkness down.
