"I am eternally grateful, Your Majesties. I truly thank you for this spectacular meal."

"No, we thank you."

"It was the least we could do in return for your help."

"Now, shall we address the issue?"

"Yes, right away."

"The Tremaium Prophecy is our concern. We must discuss it."

"I had a sickening feeling about the day when it would become an emergency."

"Recite the Prophecy, please."

"Of course, My Queen. The prophecy states, 'There will come a day where the blasphemous mark is revealed; a raven-haired man shall bring an epoch of carnage and anarchy. When the moment transpires that the lost heir returns, a long-awaited union will clarify what was clouded. It shall be on the day that metals are reunited and the champions reach adulthood that an unspoken promise will mark the strengthening of power. If the stars are to fall from the sky and what is blue turns red, the broken promise will usher forth the downfall of two kingdoms. Only if the ether regains its serene divinity will the courageous hearts of saviours be able to vanquish the invading empire and gift the next era of peace.'"

"What are the ages of the three saviours?"

"All three are approximately two years of age, My King. The Earthian's parents insist that she remains on her home planet for as long as possible. They feel that their daughter should stay under their watch for the time being."

"Very well. We mustn't stall. All of Emiarhia is approaching danger."

"We can't afford to sacrifice any of the saviours. But, what age defines 'adulthood'?"

"We shall wait until they have all reached their eighteenth year. That is my guess for the minimum of what could be considered adult... Until then, we shall alert the parents to keep these children oblivious and safe. It is crucial that they are old enough to fight and that they have time to adjust and train properly."

"Agreed."

"Agreed."

"So, it is settled then."

"What shall we do before the alleged war? We have a decade and a half, at least."

"You would be surprised how time flies."

"In the meantime, we prepare for the downfall."

"Why must we? Did the prophecy not state that the saviours would protect Emiarhia?"

"But alas, prophecies can twist. Sometimes they can be untrue completely. There's always a possibility that they will fail..."

"..."

"And this world will perish."
