THE COUNCIL

The council was made up of the five most powerful people in Gakhta.

One from the Vampire race,one from the witch race, one from the Elven race,another one from the Human race and the last member from the Dragon race.

The Council room was made like that of a court room with the Council members serving as the Jury.

Each of them radiated a power beyond imagination and it just went on to prove how strong the godess was to be able to capture and imprison such powerhouses!

Alvin stood at the left side of the Council, his serious expression never left his face and his hand never left his black sheath.

On the right side was the First Elder of the Elven race,Yan. Worry,pain and anxiousness could be seen clearly on his wrinkled face.

If things didn't go right, they would lose an important warrior. His chances of coming out victorious was slim,very slim.

If the Council agreed for Alvin to go solo then the Elven Race will lose one of the most important warriors in their army. If the Judgement went in Alvin's favour (for him to lead the Elven race) which was next to impossible since the Council couldn't decide for a race, then the Elven race will have the burden of having a dangerous and lawless monster as their General.

The Spectators were of course, the leading figures of the various races.

Alvin narrated his side of the story and Elder Yan did the same.

For Hours, the two elves kept bickering on and on,with the council interfering whenever the tension was getting too high.

After about a couple of hours of both sides telling their stories, the Dragon also known as the Fifth Sky of Gakhta ,ordered for silence.

"The First time I've heard of a case as complex as this " he said in a coarse tone.

"Yet,I cannot help but call you all fools. Each and everyone of you ,Spectators and disputing parties. If the Elf warrior wants to fight solo,so be it".

The Elf member of the Council also known as the Third Sky of Gakhta nodded in Agreement.

The Young brat had tarnished the reputation of her race. In her mind however, she was raining curses at the Elder .

How could he,the Elder of the Elven race,stoop so low as to plead to an arrogant brat to join his army.

They should have agreed to his request to fight solo. He would die for sure.

Alvin was smiling internally, two of the counsel members had voted on his decision. Just one more vote and he would have the majority thus granting him the right to go Solo.

The Vampire and the Human Judges disagreed with the matter. They thought if they allowed anyone to go solo,then a lot of powerful warriors would start fighting individually and discard fighting in armies.

Now only the Second Sky of Gakhta ,The witch ,was left.

She looked into the eyesof Alvin for a whole minute and smiled.

"Now dear tell me,how do you separate light from dark essence. I heard you were quiet the powerful essence Cultivator " she said in a very polite manner, contrary to her colleagues and her usual attitude.

Everyone present was shocked by how calm and polite the Second Sky was acting.

Alvin looked at her and replied " I'll be damned if I shared my secret to an outsider. Pledge your alliance towards me and i might teach you a thing or two.

The onlookers were shocked! How could one be so arrogant even in critical times. He needed the Second Sky's vote in order to go Solo. Alvin's arrogance would put that of a Royal Dragon's to shame.

The face of the Second Sky turned into an angry expression and she yelled out.

"Fine! You'll go solo. And in case you win and fail to take revenge on the godess, I'll personally ask her to hand over your body to me and I'll make sure I torture you till infinity and feed your corpse to mortal cannibals.

Alvin laughed. He laughed so hard that tears started dripping down from his cheeks.

Once again the Onlookers were in stupor, one thing was certain though. This young brat had arrogance in his blood stream or to be more precisely blood in his "Arrogance Stream ".

"Fools! Hurry up! " Cried out the vampire council member, "the godess has spotted a candidate. She will freeze time, so hurry up and do the needful! Get your soldiers ready! Now fools!" He had insulted and rebuked all the onlookers and he didn't even care.

Alvin shot a deadly glance at him. "I'll have your head when the time comes!"

"I'll be waiting brat! I'll be waiting!".
