Eyes of Fury
Chapter 25 Important Discussion
Disclaimer: I don't own anything.
After the battle with Vlitra, Emperor Strada met with both Grand Elder Odin and Grand Elder Hel to discuss a important matter regarding the future. The Emperor went through the various military reports of the recent losses Shinkoku, Lumen, and Umbra had suffered in the most recent battle with Vlitra along with the reports of losses suffered by the people living in villages and cities. Vlitra and the Goham had killed many people over the years and it looked like there was no end in sight, so the Emperor came up with a plan he wanted to run by the Grand Elders first before he brought it up with Deus.
"Thank you all both for coming, the latest battle with Vlitra took a heavy toll on all of us and I'm very sorry for your losses." Said Emperor Strada.
"It was a price we were both willing to pay to keep the world and the people safe." Said Odin.
"Our people knew the risk and they fought valiantly to the end." Said Hel.
"And we managed to fight Vlitra and wound the beast." Said Odin.
"With more prep time and training our forces can become even stronger, so they may finally put a end to Vlitra and the Goham." Said Hel.
"That's what I want to discuss with you two. I've gone through all the records and past battles and nothing has changed in the history of Gaea. We train and gather warriors to fight and defend, but we have yet to succeed in ridding the world of Vlitra and the Goham. Year after year innocent lives are claimed by Vlitra and the Goham and despite our best efforts were at a stalemate. I am growing tired of all this fighting, death, and never ending battle. Something different must be done for the future of our people." Said Strada.
"What do you have in mind?" Asked Hel.
"We use our technology and our powers to get all the people off of Gaea and seek out a new world to live on. One far away from the evil of Vlitra and the Goham." Said Strada.
"That's certainly a big...plan." Said Odin a bit stunned by the thought of leaving and abandoning Gaea.
"You would have us and our people abandon our home we've fought for so long?" Said Hel.
"A home is more then just a place. A home is where people can live together and feel safe. Gaea is no longer a safe place for any of us. I don't want to pass this battle on to the next generation and they have to live through the exact same hardships we had to endure. And I think you don't want your successors to go through that as well." Said Strada.
Odin and Hel though about their successors Heimdall and Jeanne, both had great skills and leaderships qualities for their clans. They didn't want to pass on the burden of a war that they felt like was never going to end on their shoulders.
"Alright I agree. A new world to start fresh sounds exactly what we need." Said Odin.
"I agree as well, though I feel like people like Deus will be against the idea of fleeing and abandoning Gaea." Said Hel.
"Deus is a good man, I'm sure he will see reason and put his pride aside for the betterment of the whole human race." Said Strada.
Unfortunately for the Emperor and the Grand Elders Deus and other would oppose the plan and drastically put matters into their own hands.
