The first rays of the moon bathed the landscape in an otherworldly glow as I surveyed the newly conquered realm from the vantage point of the supernatural citadel. It had been a mere five weeks since we, the supernaturals, seized control of the world. The transition had been remarkably swift; many of our kind had already embedded themselves within the fabric of human society, anticipating their every move.
Knowledge was our greatest weapon, and with it, we dismantled any semblance of organized resistance. Retaliation was met with swift and merciless force, instilling fear that permeated every corner of the human spirit. It was a harsh necessity, a means to ensure the survival of our dominion and, ultimately, the preservation of their kind.
Yet, amidst the ruthlessness, a promise held true — a promise to protect those who submitted at first sight, particularly families with children. The innocence of the young was our red line, a boundary that even the most formidable among us dared not cross. Our soldiers, disciplined and watchful, ensured that these submitted families received rations and the semblance of a life under our newfound rule.
Among us, the ruling elite, the seven chosen to lead the supernatural domain. Each of us, the epitome of power within our respective races, stood united in the governance of this altered world. The mantle of leadership, bestowed upon us by our own kind, compelled us to make decisions that transcended individual desires.
In the clandestine council chambers of the citadel, we deliberated on the intricate web of territories that now sprawled beneath us. Seven leaders, each with unique strengths and perspectives, tasked with the formidable responsibility of shaping this new order. I, Zephyr, found myself at the helm of this council, my voice resonating amidst the ethereal ambiance.
"We shall distribute the work channels," I declared, my eyes meeting those of the six others, each bearing the weight of their own race's destiny. "Territories need guardians, overseers to ensure that our dominion remains unchallenged. The people who will take charge must be chosen wisely, for they shall be the conduits through which our influence spreads."
As the council deliberated, a complex dance of allegiances and territories unfolded. The world now divided, not by national borders, but by the unseen boundaries of supernatural rule. And so, the fate of this altered reality rested upon the shoulders of seven leaders, their decisions echoing through the corridors of power and resonating in the hearts of both the supernatural and the subjugated humans who navigated this changed world.
