"Hmm... This is the first time I have seen everyone gathered together at the same time," Aqualina muttered as she settled into her chair at a long round table.
The table was vast, filled with numerous chairs, each occupied by people of great importance.
She sat beside her mother, Marisandra, the Empress. On her other side was Kai of the Naiadae Empire, followed closely by Leon.
Next to Leon was an empty seat, a stark reminder of someone missing, and beside it sat Raven of the Pyra Empire.
Further, Helena sat next to the Archpriestess, Finnian of the Aurora Empire.
Another empty seat followed before Mary, who was positioned beside Nyx of the Void Empire.
The arrangement was carefully planned.
Aria sat beside Liora, another empty seat beside them, and finally, Kaelen of the Zephyra Empire.
The room itself was grand, built to host powerful rulers, and now it was the designated meeting hall where crucial matters would be discussed.
