Each of the six main senators from the northern districts; Ming from Justice, Aquine from Trust, Dyson from Dreams, Cyna from Life, Pax from Wisdom, and Maxon from Virtue were assembled in the main conference room. They agreed to meet with one another before the major emergency summit meeting with the representatives from the southern districts.

"Ming, how is the rebuilding of your district of Justice coming along after the attack?" Aquine asked when she looked at him. "Were there any casualties?"

"The rebuilding is going just fine, and no, luckily there were no casualties to speak. Thankfully, Kaye's tiger sensed the danger and got all of us out in time."

Dyson frowned, "If we would have foreseen the explosion before hand, then it might have been prevented in the first place."

Pax thought long and hard for a moment, "No, I do not think it would have mattered if the district of Dreams would have foreseen the attack or not."

"What are you suggesting?" Dyson inquired studying Pax.

"I am merely saying I believe the bombing would have happened anyway. The southern districts are starting to become desperate sooner than expected." Pax replied in a cool manner.

"True they are, it seems ever since the last war, things have been going on that we can not control. It is like the southern districts are one step ahead of us. I would not doubt they have had spies planted in each of our districts since then." Maxon pointed out as he glanced at each of them.

"So then what was the point of sending your dream walker to the district of Justice Dyson?" Maxon inquired.

"She was the one who confirmed the rumors of what we all feared most, the oncoming of the next war. I was hoping she could persuade the rest of you to strengthen our union and to send your best fighter from each one with her to hopefully put an end to all of this madness." Dyson replied as he leaned back in his chair. "Kaye also carries the parchments as proof."

"The commander has already accepted the responsibility to go with her on this venture." Ming stated as he spoke up.

Cyna raised a brow towards Dyson as she was not so sure about his claim. "Then who will be the others to shoulder such responsibility of such a task?"

"We do not know. It is up to fate who is chosen to go along with them. The name of each fighter of the remaining districts will appear upon the parchments when they are close in finding them." Dyson replied in a matter of fact tone.

"We have no time for your games!" Maxon shouted standing up as he glared at him.

"I assure you, all of you this is no game. The ones chosen for this will be the key in winning this war once and for all. If we want peace, then this is what has to be done." Dyson replied looked at each and every one of them.

Pax stared Maxon straight into his eyes, "Sit down Maxon! I believe what Dyson is saying is the truth. The reasoning makes sense when you think about it. All of us have been on hard times since the start of the first war. Each one of us leaning on the other to survive and not let the Capitol and the southern districts take any more from us. The ones who are taking the heaviest burden from this upcoming war will be the ones sacrificing everything for peace."

Maxon calmed himself and sat back into his chair. "Then we have decided?"

"Yes, we are all in agreement, even though we may not like this option we have our backs to the wall and it is the only option we have left." Cyna replied with strong conviction.

"I would not doubt the commander and the dream walker have arrived here by now." Dyson stated when he looked over at Ming.

"Yes they most likely have, and knowing the commander, he probably got himself into trouble." Ming replied with a chuckle.

"Hopefully not, I remember the last time he came to visit. The whole city was turned upside down!" Aquine said in annoyance.

"I can assure you Aquine, the commander has settled down since he was here last." Ming replied with a nod.

"I can only hope so, for your sake Ming. He better have." Aquine said as she narrowed her eyes at him.

Ming squirmed a bit in his chair. He hated it when Aquine gave him that look, and she knew it. He always believed she got a kick out of making him squirm like she does.

A knock on the door interrupted their session. One of the guards opened it to peer out in order to see who had the gall to interrupt the session. "Who do you think you…Ah, sir, I am sorry, I did not know it was you. Forgive me for my rudeness."

Cye raised a brow towards the guard, "You do not need to worry, you were only doing you job. I need to speak to them. It is of utmost importance."

The guard opened the door a bit more to let him inside and then closed it behind him. He ushered Cye to where the senate members were talking.

"Senators, my friends have arrived, and if you would please give them a moment of your time. I believe it is beneficial to hear them out." Cye started to explain.

Aquine stood up and looked towards Cye, "You do not need to plead their case, we know why they have arrived. They may come and talk with us, you and your friends should also join as well. Everyone from the northern districts shall be present with what we have to discuss."

Cye smiled, "Thank you Senator Aquine," He said as he turned around and started for the door.

"Oh and Cye, one more thing," Aquine said when she saw Cye stop just before the door. "Is our city still in one piece?"

Cye looked back with a nod of his head, "Yes senator."

"What a relief, ah, yes, you may go." Senator Aquine replied as she dismissed him.

The guard let Cye out so he would be free to go and gather the rest of his friends in order to bring them back to talk with the senators.

Aquine heard quiet chuckling behind her, she turned around with a look saying she was not amused, "Oh do shut up." She sat down and waited for their return.
