Church of the panduriform, holy state of Alberta

22nd day of Aleister. "August 22, 2021"

For the past five months, the kingdom they call "the holy state of Alberta” is the land of pure humans whose destiny was to wipe any species which doesn't parallel humans, for its crusade to the southern continent the Alberta had withstood the terrific heat from the greater desert a region whose land goes over fifty kilometres and heat which can go over sixty-three degrees, for the kingdoms at the southern continent this unpretentious wall was no used and with the continent being closer than ever to be under the Alberta grasp, the capital cheers on to know that this was their destiny.

The pitches from the large doors opening were heard around and coming in this somewhat empty room, two men dressed up in a more unusual uniform, it coloured in a dark brown, and metals and pockets could be noticed at their chest and having to enter get to see the room, both soon step in as they looked around their surroundings. In front of them, a large podium could be seen at the distance from them with the two officers, behind it was a large window the only thing that gave light within the room, and having both getting closer they soon knelt towards them as their faces couldn't be seen.

"Councils! Forces from the southern mainland report complete successes with no mass casualties, as our forces are advancing deeper within the continent!"

To hear this delightful news was something to be impressed about, but having said so they said nothing back, and they continued glaring towards the two men. The constant silence from the room gave shivers to the men, but continued further.

"Reports that they have already taken over multiple kingdoms, and only three additional countries will soon be taken over!"

Delighted by the news, a few of the councils chattered with each other, their mumbling and their whistling could be heard around, but few being close to each other, they both stood silent. Waiting for a response. Soon after, their loiter didn't take too long, all quickly gazed back towards the two officers and had all learned the report they soon hailed down.

"Fantastic!" they said. "Request permission or ask any active forces to capture or arrest elves that can summon elements. We need some specimens of their capabilities!"

Having heard the council's request, the officer bowed down, "yes councillors i'll inform your majesty and the forces about your request, we do have many captured elves but even that it will be a long excursion before we can have arrived here!"

"That is a problem we can solve if it will take over two months till it arrives. I’ll request it to be fed and at least be alive once it reaches towards the capital."

The councils, like the others within the podium, expected that the elves they will receive will be a good example condition to get experimented on for the assemblies to take. Understanding their request, both officers, before turning back, soon heard a lang bang from the large doors as multiple men appeared out from the door.

"There is no need for that!"

The young man said, echoing his voice. And having to hear it many soon recognized the voice and faced towards the door to see a young cladding in golden armour as behind him changed Elven women could be seen behind him, the man looked towards them at the distance looking down with a smigged looked as he held on the chains of the captured women behind yanking the chain them many grown out, and soon after he walks towards the podium, which made everyone within the room to be unpleased.

"Sir Alexander! Our majesty has informed that no noble shall enter the confidential Alberta enchantment room! You have brought in here the scent of the whores and the unpleasant sight of your very face!"

Hearing this made the noble chuckle, "Why? Because the wyvern air division has done a far better job than the magic battalion?"

Hearing this, made everyone within the podium irritated to hear, although what he said was completely untrue it wasn't a surprise that it was come by a noble who doesn't know much about magic, "the kingdom of Alberta had a hold on to magic as its major weapon, our majesty and invaded the continent below for the sake of getting more of this superior power!"

His comments were heeded but did not make the noble sense of his consensus, he looks down and giggles out, but quickly after the giggle begins to loudly burst into laughter as he could only laugh towards the councilors, as his wails could be heard around. Neither everyone is in the best of mood and having to loudly hear annoying laughter made everyone look down on him with a glare, his laugher shortly after ended and facing back towards them he soon after looked towards the centre person.

"The purpose of our majesty's wanting if the southern region is far more different from the need of Elven magic, that being the many resources and untouched lands which he wants to used to cultivate for our developing empire, we have power!" He proudly yelled, "Our forces don't need the power of these breech-loading guns from the falidom empire or these mages! We have the power to kill ourselves with ease, and not even the countries below us had the chance to be given sympathy. That's how powerful our country is!"

His justification was weaker than expected. The council's one thing that one branch falls the others will. Remembering this one stood up towards him looking back at him.

"Our country grew its power because of our three branches! If all forces manage to not maintain a strong military communication then our country will be a far worse state!"

The noble scoffed from the response, "of course not! Know that the wyvern forces will have a higher rate of killing an enemy force and me hearing that the mages wouldn't get much during the incursion that your mage forces are decreasing its numbers, and even his majesty knows this issue."

What the noble said, was genuine to hear, made the councils look furthermore to this is a problem, having comprehended that their mages are reducing furthermore this soon could be an issue figuring out that around forty-three thousand mages are within active service, and this number starting to a smaller number, the council responded to their majesty informing them that everything would be in good hand.

"Our majesty had already known the situation, and we had informed him we are undertaking a new program which allows us to get more mages for this empire."

The noble sneers from the response, "Hah! Not surprising to hear I'm afraid to see that that you are now be forced to compel of making many conscript mages, i'll have no surprise from the reports of the frontline that mages of yours will have far more casualties."

Within the centre of the council the hooded person had had enough, soon after she revealed to the man in front of him as a white, charming woman whose blonde hair was far softer to look and brighter than anyone who had beautiful hair, soon after her expression sharpers intro an indignant look, and looking back at the noble.

"Lord Shiva! You are a noble of the shiva Falmouth bloodline! How dare you act in such a manner within this secreted cathedral! You know that his majesty doesn't appreciate what we report to him about unwanted visitors entering the cathedral and having you being loud and infuriating to look at, I can have this be a report of you entering without permission and having you not be able to marry his majesty's daughter!"

To hear such a response, the noble looks back from his smirking look to a more shocked expression, not expecting such a response, his face reads in "how dare you!" He mumbles, and attempting to pull his sword, his motion quickly halts as in front of him he looks upon with a stunning look. In front of him, the blonde woman straightened her arms facing towards the noble and was shocked to realise that this wasn't some magic council that he expected. Hold on tight, he struggles around and moans out from his pain, he looks towards her glaring back. Silent as ever, the blonde woman opens her eyes to see her pupils as it begins to glow, she looks down towards the noble home so shocked by what happened.

"Know that our glorious empire seeks the purge of getting more power against the elves we see as a threat, our empire will soon have the power to control the whole continent, and once down you will see what makes our country so demented on magic!"

the councils agree with her statement, the noble could only look back with a glare. To see his mouth is still open.

"Know that it wasnt that but the need for resources! Our empire sees its untouched materials and having those that cause us to invade it! We went there for land, not magic!"

"The purpose for the invasion of the southern continents is not because of the land, it's because of the elven magic!"

Hearing their motive of the invasion of the southern continent was more different than the one she had wanted, many scoffed from her reason, having many seeing a different path.

"There is no such thing as a need for magic from those dirty elves! Our country is far superior and the need for their pure magic isn't keen on our majesty's eyes or everyone fighting within that continent. The war is about saturating the dirty lands of those elves and soon in the future, we will see a large number of humans loving their continent."

Having to hear this, the hooded women sneered, "the nobles of Alberta. why do you see no potential of their power?!" She ridiculed them, "our country has been using the power of magic to solve every problem of humanity first and even during the war against the empire of halidom! We made them not invade us because one thing our powerful magic caster and mages we have within this country we have been using magic since the day we learn to kill each other!"

The irritated voice was heard around to hear her reasons, it didn't convict the noble and soon after he struggles around to finally break loose, and placing his drawn-out sword back, he looks back towards the blonde woman.

"Know that we will show you why magic doesn't do much for us! That era is gone and with weapons, we bought from the holy empire we will make sure you see the reason."

Having nothing to say, the noble turns back to the door and to see it being opened, he soon after walks away and watches walking away as everyone was delighted that the noble had nothing and relief to see him leaving, they soon after looked back at the two officers standing there.

"You may too leave the area"

Both officers soon bowed in front of the councils, they turned towards the door leaving with both holding on to documents that would least please their majesty. With the officer finally closing the cathedral door, a loud bashed was heard around them and immediately after the darkness around the room began to consume and having nothing but the window behind giving them a small amount of light they soon after gazed back towards the blonde women at their centre.

"With that noble gone, I do have something very surprising to report about."

Hearing this the councillors gave an interest in what the blonde woman would say, and immediately they could see her closing her eyes with both hands raised at the centre, to it quickly gleaming, this glow begins to light up at the centre of the room and a flash of light they looked upon a sight they never expected.

"No.."

Upon the blonde woman's magic, the version they saw was a large portal within the distance ocean, the pillars glow and it was surrounded by warships alike, even armed with their wyverns and swords all guard around the entrance, and having to see this, all were too speechless and what they saw it wasn't something they expected to see and not even the blonde women expected for the weak elves as what they call weak be able to make magic like this, it was nothing alike and among the group, the old man soon after bashes the table and having many looked towards him many could notice his irritated look.

"Impossible!" He cried. "How did the elves manage to open a gate like that! That type of magic is impossible for them to cast!"

The old man had reason to be furious, having all been unexpectedly seeing a gate like that to be open once more, many couldn't theories how they managed to open such a gate. And having all look at each other, among the group of young women soon after raises from the table.

"From what I'm looking at, it was expected that they could have done a sacrifice magic cast, having that you would need to slay one high ranked mage to open such a gate, but having said giving too much and the gate would end up being wasted!"

What she said could be feasible, but knowing that a sacrifice magic cast means that the pillar would be in the vine of red, a good look could see the vines of it being the same as the pillars. Noticing it the blonde woman replied, "but the vines you can see are white meaning that they had done a pure magic cast for making the gate."

A surprising statement that the blonde woman had said, but having to see what she said could be plausible the rest took it with a grain of salt. But other than the gate opening it would seem that the gate had finally opened, and noticing this issue many were still wondering what caused them to open the gate in the first place. But other than that, which country was responsible for opening the portal.

"could be the kingdom of Elijah, from my understanding, general Lazarus informs about three countries which are too big to invade and they request for additional troops, among the countries Elijah was far bigger and scouts had stated that they had walls far too big and thick to be a breach in, and even their entrances seem intense for breaking in."

"We are not discussing their defences! We are wondering which country was responsible for opening the portal!" The young woman replied and having said so, the blonde woman looked back towards them.

"It Elijah" she quietly said, "having to own a few maps prior before I was memorising which pillars can spawn in and having only 2 be able to open, I expect that the Elijah mages were responsible for opening the gate."

They were surprised that she had already known who did it, "so you knew along?" They replied and having to hear a chuckle from her, the old man quickly got disgruntled. Not saying anything much furthermore, to discover that the gate had opened from the elves it was no option but to have everyone within the empire to learn about the situation, understanding that powers of the gate have, the current ongoings carnages made of there forces had, could be the reason of the gate opening and having known that they would be invaded within three months, there was another option to having the invasion of Elijah be earlier than expected.

"We will have to inform our majesty about the gate opening as well, and he does the invasion of Elijah be earlier than he wanted."

The mood around them was getting quite thick, knowing that Elijah could have something behind that portal, the drastic move to take out Elijah fast or have their forces be fighting against a country that they could expect weak or strong. But even though her question was heard around, many looked at each other not abiding by her question.

"But you must know the reason why his majesty wouldn't do it, it's because general Lazarus had reported about the shortage of manpower within his forces that's why he asked for him to wait for three months so he can have his newer forces!"

The blonde woman quickly gets up. "Those elves have a gate which can determine the history of this war!" She let out "do you want this kingdom to fall or have land which can make us far greater than those bastards at the top?"

To hear her let out in a loud voice, the old man was quite irritated, but having to say back she looked back with a glare having it pierce towards his head.

"Inform his majesty about this now!"

The old man could only sneer, and quickly after he gets up from his table and walks away towards the door as the others could only watch him walk away. Having him gone, they soon wondered more about the other problems but knowing that they can't do much, for tonight the blonde expects the gate to hide something, which would change the course of this crusade, but only having to gape this imagination, they soon towards the top of the door and having to see them once former mage she could only laugh having to realize that something big would appear.

[================]

Assembly room, Washington D.C United States.

August 23, 2021.

A wooden furnishing around the room could be seen, with blinders within the windows with barely any outside light glamping through the room, within the room three men sat down with some taking a smoke, and having to see and smell the room with cigarettes some of the military officers looked towards each other wondering about the situation. For the past two weeks, to hear about the whole situation within sans Francisco many of the officials within the room were still dumbfounded and just getting newer and newer reports this became a high arch for the few men staying around.

"Elves and these wooden ships and the incident and the golden gate bridge, what the fuck is going on at California."

Letting out a big smoke, the chief of general lee ledger could only endure the smoke as the constant many reports from the fox news had made him give a headache as he did not expect a situation like this to arise. Like him, the rest too waiting for the president was still confused about it and had to get newer reports, some were still confused if the people who had come were elves.

"From a statement, I got, apparently after doing a physical examination from their cells they were indeed in fact elves with some advanced things which we humans can't have."

Hearing what senator Joel said wasn't convincing for the rest of the men, and even he was least confident in what he stated, after what Joel said, the others could only rethink what America is currently on, and seeing the other problems, the two generals within the room feel frustrated, knowing that there are reports of Chinese forces around Alaska and even early invasion of Taiwan being reported. And having this be added, it was now a question on what their government would do and having no further reports be given, they all sat down holding onto her half-burnt cigarette, wondering about the circumstances.

Soon after, coming from a door a man wearing a black suit appears in the door and having to see it being the president bodyguards all three place their cigarettes at the ashtray with all standing wait for the man himself. He soon enters the room appearing at the door, a man wearing a black suit with a red tie comes with his old appearance as the three men see him greeting the president.

"Morning President!"

To see the three men in front of them being uptight as usual, he smiles back having seen that there are many things to discuss.

"Gentleman, you may sit down."
