The dim, cavernous room was thick with unspoken power and subtle tension. A single, heavy wooden table dominated the space, around it, sat the key figures under Sunny.
Sunny occupied the head seat, his posture relaxed but his eyes sharp, taking in every subtle shift in the room.
Seated before him were his inner circle: Nioh, the three-eyed general; Blood Eye and Nicolas, humans whose loyalty had been forged in blood; Star, whose Beastify transformation had added a layer of wild, unpredictable strength; Jinx, the restless, a half-Xenon, and half-dragon race; Lola, the Queen of the Three-Eyed Nation; and Eve, the composed, noble figure from the Dragon race.
Also present were Josephine. Gioh, the Dwarves' King, his arms crossed; and the new, somewhat nervous guest, Queen Hazel of the Phoenix nation.
"I see everyone is here," Sunny began, his voice calm, the perfect blend of authority and invitation. He paused, letting his gaze settle on Hazel.
