With Azuria's advancement in technology and the demonstration of inter-realm travel. Nations from over the world would journey to Azuria to learn from these great minds. Azuria already collaborated with many nations and the Cathgul union was the first to volunteer. Azuria under Paxius' insight joined Cathgul which currently expanded and constituted over 200 kingdoms in the world.
However, the appearance of the falling castle from the sky was seen by too many eyes. The sight brought fear to the hearts of many on the Mariposa continent. The people shift their frustration towards Azuria because it was the only nation capable of making giants of that scale.
Paxius is in his office with many complaints coming to his desk, Paxius grabs his head in frustration, "Urgh, just when I needed the extra heads, she up and leaves." He grits his teeth, "When I catch her, I'm grounding her!" Lyra enters the office carrying a bunch of letters, "Sorry dear, but the letters keep coming."
Lyra puts the letters on Paxius' desk and picks one up, "So many kingdoms are seeking answers. Look at this…." She opens one letter, "I've never even heard of this nation before yet they demand answers!" Paxius folds his hands, "Maybe I should destroy those nations." Lyra quickly turns to Paxius and Paxius grins, "It'll make all these troubles end soon."
Lyra sighs, "Yeah, but I doubt Ragnar would give you peace." Paxius groans lying his head on the desk. Lyra puts her hand on Paxius' hand, "You can do this. You've done more than this, remember?" Paxius sighs, "Maybe I should send Nytri as a delegation to those nations." Lyra is shocked, "You want mum to scare the shit out of them?!"
Paxius laughs, "Hahaha, she'd indeed do that." The both burst out laughing, "Hahahahaha." Lyra sits on another chair next to Paxius, "Mum's confused expression is what makes it better." Paxius chuckles, "Indeed, she scares people and doesn't even realize. That will settle the complaints but it'd just isolate Azuria." Lyra places her head on Paxius' shoulders, "Look at you thinking about our family, you're a great king indeed."
The door to the office burst open, "PAXIUS!" Said the figure that entered. Paxius sighs, "Ragnar! Come for a rematch?" Ragnar trips but regains his posture, "Just because you've won against me doesn't give you the right to blow your whistle." Paxius grins, "Yeah, except I won every game."
Ragnar forces a smile with a vein popping, "Well well well, I'll make sure to fix that attitude of yours later." Lyra is trying hard not to laugh, Ragnar clears his throat, "Ahem, It's time for the conference."
Paxius is confused, "What conference?" Ragnar facepalms, "Oh right, I forgot to tell you the last time." He looks at Paxius, "Cathgul has organized a conference with leaders and influential figures to discuss the invasion." Paxius remains quiet in thought then speak, "Is Cathgul going to tell the world about our natural enemies?"
Ragnar sighs, "Indeed." Paxius stares at Ragnar and Ragnar continues, "I know you're worried but eventually, the world will know." Lyra leans into her seat, "Should Nytri also join this conference?" Ragnar nods, "That would be the best situation, but sadly she's yet to awaken from her injuries."
Just as Ragnar said those words, Nytri and Emma reach behind him outside the office. The 2 turn around and silently walk away, Lyra giggles then speaks to Ragnar, "I'll get the Xenos to join in the conference and check on Nytri if she's available, a guest just offered her treatment and she's nearly recovered." Ragnar smiles, "That's great news. I'll let the council know."
Ragnar turns and leaves office and Paxius sighs, "This is going to be a long meeting." Lyra gets up from her seat, "Indeed, but it is necessary, I'll get the Xenos. So go get em, great bull." She smiles warmly and Paxius mimics the sound of a bull, "MOOO!!" and he walks out the office with a smile, he made the bull cry because he was originally a minotaur. Lyra rearranges some documents before leaving the office to join the conference.
They gathered in a large building in Azuria with Azuria as the host of such a conference. Many nations came over from far and wide, some came to see the splendor of Azuria and some just to see what they can learn.
After a few hours, it was finally time for the conference to commence. Reality dawned on them when one king brought the news of the huge flying fortress that crashed. The room is in chaos as they demand answers. Just at this instant, Paxius and Ragnar enter the conference room.
One King, Kyros, takes the lead in ask, "WE NEED ANSWERS!" Paxius is taken aback, his butt barely touched his seat and he's already bombarded. He wondered to himself, "Did Nytri's FEAR leak during the fall? No, that can be. If it did, they'd never set foot on her front door."
Ragnar raises both hands to try to calm them, "Be calm everyone. King Paxius is here to answer all your questions along with Azuria's greatest minds!" The people compose themselves after hearing Ragnar's words. Ragnar and Paxius walks through the huge room and they both take their seats at the forefront of the assembly.
At this moment, Nytri and some of the Azurians arrive at the building but they do not enter. They look through the windows on top of the assembly observing.
Paxius clears his throat then speaks, "Greetings everyone." An impatient queen quickly retorted, "Skip the pleasantries! I demand answers now!" The other's also join in with their demands. Paxius rests his head in his arms and murmured, "The nerve of them!"
Ragnar notices Paxius silent demeaner and speaks, "Everyone, Everyone! We are the rulers of nations! The least you can do is act with dignity!" A king speaks up, "Dignity?! A FORTRESS THE SIZE OF AN ENTIRE CITY JUST FELL FROM THE SKY! THIS ISN'T THE TIME FOR DIGNITY!"
Nytri tilts her head, "Hmmm, it seems like they didn't come here just for answers." One Azurian holds his forehead, "It appears they intend to intimidate us. I presume they want our technology."
Isa is also sitting amongst them, "Technology? Everything we've built is made to suit us. If we give it to them, won't they just die." Nytri observes the conference for a while and Paxius finally stands to his feet.
Paxius bellows across the entire room, "ENOUGH!" Silence fills the room, "You came here looking for answers, and answers you will get. Don't you dare think for a moment you can say whatever nonsense you want and leave here alive." He glares at them all as they tremble.
One king stands up, "You would threaten the delegates of a nation? The leaders whatsoever?" Paxius grins, "Threaten? No. I will wipe your nations out in mere moments." Paxius exudes his aura for the first time and this puts them all it their place.
Ragnar is amazed, "Primordial god rank?" Not once did Ragnar think that his best friend who he's been walking is way stronger than he is. He smiles, "Wow." Paxius sits down and speaks, "About the fortress that fell from the sky, it is indeed made by Azuria."
One person exclaims, "I knew it!" he clears his throat after all eyes fell on him. Paxius continues, "But you should wonder, If, we can build something of that scale, what kind of entity can devastate it like that?" this question puts them in thought. No nation had the might to stand before Azuria, not even gods dare get in their way. So, what attacked them?
