Chapter 5- The Council
The figure at the far left of the table stood, the out line showed it to be a man. He moved near the light, some times letting a sleeve into the light as he moved, showing a gray shoulder with a black sleeve and a red stripe at about the same place as Bruce's
"Where are you from?"
"I don't know," she answered him with little hesitation.
"How did you come to be in this Dimension?"
"Though the Celestial Door."
"What is that?"
" I don't know"
"Do you know how it works?
"No"
"You sure?"
"Yes." He moved back to the table, sitting as the next figure, also a man, came forward and Bruce said he was from L1td.
"Can you remember your parent's names?"
"No, I can't remember anything before I met Lumineya."
This brought murmurs from the figures at the right and the voices confirmed that Asu was right when she thought they were women. Then the man put his face into the light, showing light brown hair, a goatee, fair skin, and forest green eyes.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I remember nothing before I met her." The man turned and also sat back down. The order then skipped Bruce and went to the women next to him, from M1topd. Red, wavy hair shined as it hit the light.
"Who is this, Lumineya?"
"I don't know, a guide?"
"What does she look like?"
"She has the body of a fox, but the tail, ears, legs and face of a cat." The woman turned and sat down at her place, satisfied with the answers. Then the final figure stood, from D1, and came to the light, immediately showing half her face. She had long, straight blond hair, blue eyes, fair skin and pointed ears that ended away from her head.
"If you were to tell me what Lumineya is, what would be the first word that came to mind?"
"Um…I'd have to say that she seemed like a Goddess."
"Was there any visual clues that would make you say that?"
"Not that I can think of." She returned to her seat. They sat there for a long time, until a black glass marble was thrown into the light, from the man next to Bruce. Then came a white marble from the other man and from the woman next to Bruce. Another black marble was thrown by the woman with the pointed ears. Then Bruce sat there for a while, clearly thinking. Finally, he threw a clear marble in to the light surrounding her. Then he said.
"Two votes for, two votes against, with one abstention. In the interests of security, a majority for is hereby declared. Lieutenant Ash, please come forward."
A woman from the shadows behind Asu stepped into the light, and she gasped. She looked just like her. She had no tail, her eyes were hazel, ears were clearly human, but they could have been twins other wise. Then, a scythe appeared in a beam of light in front of her, as Ash expanded the metal bar she now held into one.
