(the council)
In a dark room lit only by the sun from the outside, a man is reading over a report that happened at the marketplace. Apparently there was an incident where a ghoul happened to be trading mass number of drugs to the people. However, he was not interested in the ghoul and the drugs, but the fact that the trios again stopped another event. He let out a grin that made the room become sub temperature, even though it was middle of summer.
"These new fishes are looking promising. However they should keep their heads down now. There is only one group of people that could mass produce those drugs and they would not be pleased that their activity has been noticed." The man gets up and looks out the window. He stares at the landscape before putting on an inconspicuous clothing and said in a singing voice. "Now it is time to observe my prey." He than vanished into thin dust.

(At the police station)
While they were talking Lucarius spotted an etching onto the ring which surprised Jackson. However when he looked at the etching, his face turned cold as he began to sweat bullets. His face turn grim and he stared deeply into their eyes. He was truly worried about their futures. Seeing that Jackson was being frightened, Mia approached Jackson and peeked over his shoulder. Jackson began to shiver "Thi-this is not good. You gu-guys should get out of here and hide before they find you." Mia and Grayl cocked their heads to the side while Lucarius raised an eye brow in confusion. "What is it officer Jackson?" "Yeah Why should we run?" "... what?" all three asked in unison.
Jackson slumped down on a chair. His hands were trembling in fear. He gulped before opening his mouth. "Do you know that the council trying to get rid of crimes right? Well there is currently seven groups in the Abyss that the council will never mess around with. In the Abyss there are seven big fishes that rule this place and they are The Seven Emperors. These crime bosses are never to be trifled with yet you three just manage to injure their lackey."
The three broke into sweat. Lucarius gulped before letting out a worried laugh "Hey do you think it will be alright if we send them a post card saying we are sorry? Or maybe a present and their belongings?" All three looked at Lucarius as if he said something idiotic. "Oh ok...I'll just.." then headed to a corner to rethink what is happening. 'This can't be happening. This is all but a dream.' thought Lucarius. He could not grasp reality since everything moved too fast around him.
Mia asked Jackson worriedly. "What should we do Mr. Jackson? Is there no there way to save us all?" Jackson pondered for a bit before shacking his head and let his ears droop down. "i believe there is nothing. I am just a police officer you know?" Suddenly Jackson's ear perked up. "Actually I think I do."

(two hours later at the front of the council embassy)
"So Jackson said to join the council, become a high tier person that is worth protecting, and maybe they can protect us right?" Grayl asked. Mia nodded while staring at the embassy in front of them. "According to Jackson, The Seven Emperors would not fight the Council. There are many clash and many skirmishes for territory, but we should be safe."
The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.
In front of them stood a building like no other. This building was the biggest building that Lucarius ever saw. from the outside, it looked like a Colosseum in Rome but with a dome at the center of the building. There many constant stairs that lead up the entrance of the Colosseum.
"So what are going to join as?" Lucarius asked. Mia reached down and grabbed something form her chest. She pulled out a piece of paper. "According to Jackson, we should all become a soldier or a guard. The other position are harder than you think." Grayl grinned "That works for me since I'm a blood warrior. Also we have sis as a Pyromancer and Lucarius...well someone who has a backing of an elder god." Lucarius' eyes twitched. "Are you saying I'm useless?" Grayl did not answer and quickly went up the stair. "C'mon last one there is a rotten meat!" 'Are you a child? No most importantly why did you not answer?!' Lucarius wanted to cry out but let out a sigh before following Grayl. Mia simply giggled before following as well.

(five hours later inside the embassy)
The trios are waiting on a long list of line. There were many people here, all different race. One time a race that looked humanoid with jet black horns bumped into Mia. Few hours ago, Grayl brought two chairs and gave to himself and Mia. Mia grumbled at Grayl, so that Lucarius can also sit. Then they decided to rotate around where two sit and rest and one wait in the lineup. This cycle went for ten times before it was their turn.
Grayl, who was in the lineup cupped his hands and shouted for the two to follow. Than they finally went to the front desk. "welcome to the embassy. What can I do for you?" asked the person at the front desk. The person was wearing a hooded clothing that hid his face into the shadow. Somehow Lucarius did not like this person. "Grayl, not knowing what Lucarius was thinking, simply placed one arm onto the desk and leaning towards the desk. "Good morning, we are looking for a job at the Council." The hooded person went under the desk before reeaching out and grabbing a book. The book looked old and was nearly the size of the desk.
He slammed the book down onto the desk and whispered something to the book. then the book suddenly fluttered by itself and went to a random page. suddenly some wording began to light up giving a blue glow. The person read before asking. "There is only few works that are available at the moment. Which one do you choose?" he than pointed towards few choices that they can pick. Grayl simply answered "We are trying out for guard or a soldier. are there spots available?" The hooded person simply nodded before closing the book and writing something onto a form. He than handed to the three. "Please put your capable occupation that is related to military works. Also please put in your name, age, sex, and race down below then sign it down below.
When all three of them received the form, Lucarius quickly scanned the paper. 'What is Mf, Fm, and non in gender?' He simply circled the M but was curious what it could be. After filling it out, All three handed it towards the hooded person who received it gingerly. suddenly blue flames erupted from the hooded man's hand and burned the forms leaving not even ashes. "Your forms has been accepted, please follow me."
