Artheen made his way through the corridor of the palace. Lian walked beside him as they headed to the double doors of the conference room; which was being guarded by the palace guards. As they came up to them the guards automatically moved and opened the doors for them. The large insides of the conference room was revealed. A large semi-circle table was in the middle of the room which faced the large, luxurious throne at the epicenter. Which was already occupied by the king himself: Lucas Van Liverburg the Third, a handsome, blonde haired, bearded middle aged man with an ever pleasing look on his face. When Artheen entered he sent him an amiable smile,"My great second general, right on time as always."
Artheen and Lian bowed respectfully before taking their seats. There were a total of five large seats surrounding the table and slightly smaller seats reserved for the right hand men of the generals. Out of the five seats for the generals only four were occupied. Zhang Kai the third ranked general was of the beastman race. As was his right hand man Sirus. Zhang Kai was a tiger beastman with tiger ears on top of his head and a long tiger tail extending from his tail bone. He was tall and burly with thick muscles, his general uniform-which showed him as a general of the empire-could barely fit over his chest muscles as he sat with the usual scowl on his face. His thick, fluffy, orange; black striped hair fell behind him with impressive length.
Sirus sat beside him with a calm look on his face-he was a bunny beastman-and there was a noticeable bump on his stomach. Zhang Kai's thick tiger tail curled protectively around Sirus's waist. Beside them sat Vilis and his right hand man Mart; they were both of the bug race. The bug race was often discriminated against because of their similarities to the zerg race. However with Villis rising to be the fourth general of the empire he had brought great respect to his race; who are now more respected because of him. Mart and Villis were both moths of the bug race, Mart's fluffy antennas twitched and moved slightly. Villis' antennas also moved, seeming to receive a secret message from him; they then looked at each other before snickering to themselves.
The fifth general Biathus and her right hand Narshu-both of the driad race-sat stiffly and coldly, their gazes were straight ahead and they said not a word to each other. With Artheen's arrival the meeting should have started, but there was still a general missing; the number one general: Wang Chang. The conference room became silent as they waited. The king's secretary was writing down something on her tablet when the door of the conference room finally opened again.
A tall man walked in with long blonde hair and sharp blue eyes. His general's uniform hugged his muscular, athletic frame. His many medals and pins clinked together softly as he went and took a seat. His face remained cold and unapproachable, the perfect image of what you would think the number one general would be like. The only thing that stood out was the small pink haired fairy sitting on his shoulder. She sat with her back straight, chin raised arrogantly, little wings fluttering softly.
Everyone glanced at it briefly before looking away. They all knew about Wang Chang's new little obsession. The king cleared his throat, "I am happy that we all could make it here safely and I believe that the meeting can start now." All the generals nodded. The king glanced at his secretary Nara who stepped forward. She pressed a button on her tablet and a holograph rose from the middle of the table showing the large main planet of the zerg race. "It has been around five hundred years since the last zerg queen was born and it is about time for a new queen of the zerg race to be born. During these past few years a secret army of the empire, with professionals, has been searching for this to find the premature egg of the future zerg queen to extinguish the fetus from existence before birth."
"As we all know, when a new queen of the zerg race is born war is raged upon the empire and other smaller unions in the zergs' conquest to control and possess all planets, galaxies and races alike. The secret army has even secretly gone against the temporary alliance with the zergs to search into the zerg territories and find the egg, but because we were unable to delve deeper into zerg territories as we would have been caught, we were unable to find the egg."
"And I am guessing that since you have to bring all of this up there is bad news." Villis muttered. The secretary merely nodded. "As of the past week we have found out from observing the zergs that there are celebrations happening on their main planet, proof being that all of the major zerg powers are on the planet which has only ever happened-"
"-when the queen is born" Biathus finished, Nara nodded solemnly. The silence in the conference room became a bit tense. "According to past data...we are now anticipating a full blown war," the tense atmosphere became slightly cold."But," the king said softly,"we may have a solution to this." Nara nodded and switched the hologram above the table, now it showed a picture of the alliance flag: an infinity sign made out of the different planets of the alliance."We convinced them to be a part of the alliance." various expressions crossed the faces of the generals and right hand men around the table, however minuscule, but one stood out the most, Zhang Kais's scowl deepened in anger. "Absolutely not," he growled.
"are we supposed to just forgive them for all the wars they have caused and the lives they have taken away during the past centuries?!" he growled out. Sirus's hand gently took his which made him calm down slightly, but the scowl on his face remained. "I disagree" he grumbled out, much softer than his original reaction.Nara sighed softly, "third general I understand your feelings, but we must also remember that the zergs merely follow the orders of their queen, however disgruntling they may not...." "And are we just supposed to accept that?" he sneered.
"Unfortunately, this is all we can do to save the many lives at jeopardy if this war were to happen." the king uttered, Zhang Kai clenched his jaws tightly with reluctance. "So for the good of all races and planets in and apart of the alliance of the empire this will be done.."the king said with finality.
