CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR
TALE OF THE ANCIENT TIME

---*---
IMPERIUM REALM

A day after the incident in Leviathan's office, Dahrleen already started to fill in her husband's supposed role. She checked the reports about the yearly budget of their palace and scanned through different documents of various information. She even made monthly reports that will be submitted to the Emperor. And on top of that, she carries her own workload.  The Imperium Scholar that she hired to conduct a research several years ago had gone through a drastic change. Moreover, she's obliged to attend the meeting about the season crisis.

-Sagitharium Palace, the Meeting Hall-
As soon as Dahrleen stepped in the meeting hall, she could hear the argument between the Aquaria and the rest of the Guardians.

The Guardians race a divided into five;

Aquaria /Ah•k'wa•riya/ (Water Guardians); from the name itself, they manipulate and produce water through varied ways. Although they were called Water Guardians, they do not actually live underwater. Instead, they study medicine. The first emperor gave them a land filled with medicinal plants and bestowed the name Assher for their excellency.

Terrell /Te•rel/ (Earth Guardians); by far the second most populated kingdom amongst the five kingdoms of the realm. They specialize at agriculture and best at taking care of fauna. They named themselves as Therito Kingdom.

Aira /Ay•ra/ (Wind Guardians); they were born with wings and act like birds. Their kingdom was called as Giant Nest. They love creating useful inventions. The second emperor and the first female ruler was a Wind Guardian. She stopped the indifferences of the Guardians and set them to unity. With that, she bestowed her homeland the name Ahze.

Fierci /Fi•yer•si/ (Fire Guardians); the main producer of gemstones, minerals, and rocks for research purposes. The commoners once shouted that they were a proud Fierci of the Fatrah Kingdom. The King liked the name and called his kingdom like that.

Thala /Tah•lah/ (Dark Guardians); the most powerful of all. They were so strong that their kind produce great emperors for generations. With the people's thoughts combined, they called them Tahomma—an ancient language in their realm that meant 'the great stars'.

Step.

She unhurriedly took her seat beside an empty chair that was for her husband. Due to circumstances, he was not able to attend this gathering.

"DIVORCED OR NOT, DO YOU FREAKING DUTIES!" the Queen of Fatrah pointed at the Queen of Assher as their husbands tried to pull them apart.

Fierci were known for their beautiful dark red hair and eyes of yellowish-orange that imitates the lava's glow. In contrast to Aquaria that had blue hair with highlights like the sea and eyes of deep ocean blue.

"We have told you that WE WERE NOT GETTING A DIVORCE!" the Assher Queen sneered back, grabbing the collar of Fatrah Queen's lava blouse.

"ARGH! NONE OF YOU ARE HELPING!" screamed the Queen of Ahze as she release a slight force of wind that tumbled her husband. Her wings spread out, revealing the shining sharp feathers like the head of arrows.

"THE ENTIRE CONTINENT IS SCORCHING HOT! AT LEAST GIVE THERITO A NORMAL SUMMER FOR ONCE!" the Queen of Therito slammed the table that caused the room to shake for a few seconds.

Aira range from light brown to blonde hair with the match of their lush green eyes. While Terrell had their dark brown hair that could nearly seen as black and eyes of golden honey.
