A grey and black world split and cracked down its centre stood within a field of green glowing asteroids that fizzled out quick zaps of green energy. Looking at this scene, it would even seem that the galaxy itself was blacker than its surroundings. Trying to hide the planet that it held deep within its grasp so none could obtain it.
This area looked all but abandoned, but soon, space ships and magical beasts soon arrived and landed next to a dark blue and purple building. Just in case anyone or anything tried to stop the meeting, 2 titans stood guard made of a mix of magic and technology.
This was hard to do trying to integrate the big 3, such as magic,technology, and biology. Even with the immense amount of talent,skill,population, and resources, none of the major factions,corporations, and religions had managed to combine the 3, with most believing it to be impossible.
Those coming to the meeting showed clearly what side they chose, with one large ship having some of the most advanced technologies from neuron pulse cannons to dark matter hyper drives. These guys were the techs who had augmented bodies, giving them extra limbs or built-in weapons.
They are quite proud to display their products, showing the others what they believed to be the right path. It wasn't said out loud, but a hidden war of ideology played out across the stars, with each side wanting to win and taking everything for themselves.
Next to this ship was an island made of crystallised brown glass of earth mana that was formed by gathering the raw mana of the universe. Orange grass grew on the top of the crystal like a carpet and small pink mushrooms lived in this grass. If you had a microscope and looked on the mushrooms, you'd find small red spiders roaming the grass and mushrooms.
They were mana constructs created to clean the island but are also used for low-grade defence and communications. The owners of this island came out from their average looking wooden hut, which was actually made of 3000 year old endrarian tree. This tree only grew in extremely magic dense areas on planets that need very specific conditions. There couldn't be more than 100 of these trees, and each one was over 300 ft tall and 30 ft wide and usually had an army's protecting them. They had basic form of spirit or consciousness and made basic trade deals for that protection, such as trading mana dense fruit for protection.
The mages coming out from this hut were old and had many rings and pendants around their fingers and neck. With one of them even having golden shining magical tattoo's all over his body.
Next to the island was a pulsing and smooth bio-floater that was a spaceship made of bio mass that was alive. It's had thick grey veins, all a cross it's body, with multiple thick bone shields protecting weaker areas while also having multiple 150-meter tentacles used for attacking and other utilities.
It had all the usual bodily objects from eyes and mouths with long fangs to gastral pumps that helped it move through space using gases built up and ignited by the ship.
It also had many other defences from living drones that cleaned and guarded the interior of the ship. To the bone spikes used to shoot at enemy ships that were the 12 ft long and contained an explosive chemical mix. There were many more aspects to all these ships that made them top of the line and deadly.
The people, if you could call them that, were similar to the tech pathers, but they had multiple biological parts and had eyes that could see in infrared. Some had arms that could bend and stretch while others and claws and muscles appendages. Others had multiple legs,eyes,mouths,noses, and were muscular or skinny they were the most hard to look at out of them all.
There were around 30 people here who would be seated at the meeting with an extra 100 as gaurds and secretaries. They each had their own places to stay, and they wouldn't be allowed into the main building.
The 30 main attendees all seemed different as the world worked differently for them in ways others couldn't understand. Like they knew of a secret that would affect everything

but couldn't tell anyone anything about it.
They all came at around the same time showing this meeting had been planned in advance and was of high priority. Once the doors opened, they trickled in, and unlike their employees,servants,slaves, or whatever they were called, they didn't have any outward hostility towards the other attendees.
Once they all entered, the doors were closed, and 2 smaller but still menacing giants kept guard of the door. These both are biological and have yellow scales with leather like skin and red eyes with 2 horns.
Having 2 large guard dogs at the door already kept the different forces in line while the 2 enormous ones. They were for anyone trying to stop the meeting from much further outside the planet.
Most wore robes while others cared not to hide, and eventually, all were seated around a grand table of green cracked stone and chairs. White floors contained black splatters across them, and surprisingly, that was all that was in this room.
For these people, it was very rare to not be in a room without any major type of magic,
technology or biological tools, or equipment. To them, this was going off grid, and at least geographically, it very much was.
All these people from all over the universe from different races,paths, and strengths all came together right here. The public didn't know this place existed, and the people who came here didn't know what had happened inside.
Nothing was allowed in this room besides discussion, so there was no smoking,eating
or killing allowed. It was only in this place that everyone followed these rules as those who didn't have been found drained of all life.
Many men and women and things that didn't even have genders but rather sucked on a cocktail of proteins and spilt their form to make kids. Sat in this room some even being enemies at war with each other for decades while others had killed some of these people family members by their own hands.
Yet peace remained, and soon, green mist gathered from the floor and rose to the table and assembled in the centre. Quickly, a form was given to the mist, and a simple humanoid shape was given with a bald head and hollow eye sockets. It had no genitals and 2 arms with hands but no legs, just drifting mist.
This got everyone's attention as the being looked around after those in attendance, but no emotion was shown on its face. It did seem to hold some sadness in its form, though it was always there, like it was told something that was set in stone.
"Welcome,greetings,salutations too you all this meeting shall begin"-The mist
The mists words echoed across the room, dancing on the waves it's vibrations made towards their ears or thumps that came out to those without them. There was no means of communication that was unavailable or that wasn't understood to the mist.
"The annual 1000 year meeting isn't due for another 7 years. Why have we even been summoned the enemy hasn't made any progress, so why must we be here?"-Attendee
Many others muttered similar questions, but none raised their voice as the mist looked over to the man with a mechanical voice box and particle locked electric eyes.
"That is the truth. However, you only see the chips that fall off the building, not the fact that the building is slowly being destroyed"-The mist
"So what's the problem? I've got a new corporation trying to steal one of my weaker planets, and I'm going to get whined at by my husband if I don't keep it because he wants to vaction there for the week"-Attendee
This woman was of the magic path and had a veil of pink mana flowing through her veins, which looked like a shock wave being sent through her.
"I must remind even you that we care not for the now but for the chance that they're may even be a future for the now to happen"-The mist
"This is very unusual, and I should know considering I'm old enough to have lived through 4 of these meetings, and I also have my many predecessors thoughts, and this has never happened"-Attendee
"You are persistent, and so is your kind. But you are near the turning point for that which I remind you and all of your kind and those in this room that get here. The requirements are unacceptable, while the cost is too high a toll"-The mist
"Were not 90. We know the rules, and we stick to them fiercely it's why the enemy hasn't made progress. Balance has been maintained, and we should rejoice that order has prevailed"-Attendee
This came from a biological pather who frankly looked like a bloated toad with green eyes with orange irises. While having brown skin and dark yellow spots with small holes all over his body that wriggled with small worms.
"You will stumble, and that could lead to it all ending and what is the value of something that can be so easily taken away. With just a little bit of time and pressure"-The mist
"The time has come, and an incalculable amount of lives and energy has been put towards our mission. The seed has finally, after so long been birthed, and we may have a chance to stop the final silence from prevailing"-The mist
This sent a shock to all throughout the room as many froze in their spot, unable to believe what was being told.
"There have been many who were once in these stone chains before us, so why not them? Why now, why us!?"-Attendee
"It matters not the time or place just the action that takes place with the reason behind it following its course"-The mist
"But what do we do and who or what is it even we aren't ready this it's too soon"-Attendee
"You must brace for impact when a quick change happens, but it is just that, a impact, it happens to everything that evolves"-The mist
"So what were expected to throw away all our problems and just kneel in servitude to something we didn't think possible!"-Attendee
"Complacency is everlasting torture disguised as a simple breeze slicing through the ear canal and molesting the mind"-The mist
"So no, for the seed to grow, it must be tested, matured, enlightened, allowed to be hurt so that it can come back stronger until it is ready for her"-The mist
"It must already know, it may make things worse, it could be a new devastation on the horizon, and it could be our end"-Attendee
"It will be the start of the never-ending and forever changing truth that will birth brilliance and smother stagnation"-The mist
"This is a warning to you all who managed to get to this high point in your existence and haven't been tempted by the demons on the edges of creation"-The mist
"We are all the children of a last hope that will not burn out in the darkness. We will make sure the darkness will stay in the corners shackled to the edges"-The mist
"What happens if we fail?"-Attendee
This caused everyone to look over to the being of light and darkness that said this who was one of the few to come alone. Its eyes glowed various colours in quick succession as if strobing through the spectrum.
"Well, I can only hope she's happy sleeping among the corpses of a broken dream"-The mist
