The Council of Mages

Prologue

                                                                                         Sept 9th 2019

Six men sit at a long table in an enormous room with a domed glass ceiling. Countless floating candles light up the room, moving slowly round and round. Moonlight shines through the enormous glass window that shows a black mass with intense red eyes that bore into one's soul. Countless arms, tails, and other assortment of body parts such as ears or legs sprout out from the creatures "body". It would be wrong to call it a creature or say it had a body. It was more a devil, with pitch black mist for a body. It had no face except for the eyes, no mouth, no teeth, no nose. An army of devils and fiend's stood behind it, with either insane, or evil, expressions.

Across the room, which must have been at least 100 yards, was another colossal window. This one depicted not a devil of evil, but, an angel of mercy. Her features were perfect, her skin so smooth,and pale. A golden halo levitated above the beautiful women's long, blond hair. Her blinding white dress billowed around her. It's incredible detail almost made it look real. Equally blinding white wings protruded from her back. They were spread, as if the women would take flight at any second. Not only was she beautiful, she looked just as dangerous. Her arms were spread and her hands held dual swords. The blade of the sword practically glittered in the moonlight. But what was most eye catching was her eyes. They glowed with such energy that you couldn't see her pupils. Only captivating golden light that could match the devil's darkness. Behind her stood other angels. None of them as stunning as her, but undeniably angels. They stood on white clouds, the sun rising behind them.

It was quite clear that the angel and devil would soon clash in battle, and a battle would be fought so fierce, that it would shake the land.

The men that sat at the table all wore robes of different colors. The first man at the end of the rectangular table wore a green robe with golden trim. A dozen necklaces dangled from his neck, and just as many rings littered his fingers. His face and skin were pale and looked almost as smooth as the angels, and the red iris of his eye seemed to pierce through oneself outer-shell, looking into his inner being. He also sported a rather long nose. He stared at the man at the other end of the table, his expression blank.

The man he was staring at wore golden and black robes. His face was hidden under the shadow of his cloak. Rather bony, tan skinned, fingers rested on the table. Unlike the other man, he only exhibited one ring, that was black as midnight on one side and yellow as the sun on the other.

The three men on the side of the table had different shades of blue on, with golden trim. These men were older than the others, they're white beards flowed down to there chest. They had the same eyes, the same mouth, and the same skin. Almost as if they were identical. They were all dark skinned with glittering blue eyes.

And the last man sat alone. Covered by his dark black and grey robes, and nothing visible. His hands were perhaps hidden inside his cloak, and perhaps he might have been sitting criss-cross. Whatever the case, none of his skin peeked out from under his cloak.

The gentleman in the golden robes spoke in a low, but commanding voice. "Vonchard, Phineas, Phorbs, Phorkin, and Calcius. "We all know why we sit in this room today. The debt from the war is becoming too much to handl-."

He was suddenly cut off when a purple mass of magic smashed into the angel glass painting. There was shaking and explosions as more and more masses of magic bombarded the building. Dust filled the air, and covered the sky with a cloud of grey.

"PHINEAS, PHORKIN, ANYBODY!"

"OVER HER-."

BOOOM! BOOM! BOOM! More blasts shook the ground, with deafening noise.

"HOW DID THEY GET PAST THE BARRIER?!" yelled the man in golden robes.

Then all the shaking stopped. The assault came to an end. A fist reached out of the rubble and opened. A small golden hummingbird shot out and flew into the sky above, before the planet split in half, and was obliterated from the galaxy.
