The click of Xtabay's heels echoed from out of the hallway leading to the white room. A large stone table was placed in the center of the room. The table itself was supported by what looked like people made of stone on their hands and knees with the table resting on their backs. Encircling the table was a white circular bench with red cushions embroidered with gold leaves, where the rest of the Kings sat in waiting.

Impetigo: It's about time you arrived, serpent queen. My patience was wearing thin.

A pair of reptilian eyes with a dull golden glow was the first feature of Xtabay's that anyone could see as she stepped out the shadows of the hallway. Her eyes reverted back to their human color and shape as she stepped into the light.

Xtabay: your patience is the least of my concerns Boogeyman.

A shadowy vapor steamed out of Impetigo's permanent toothy grin. Which prompted Xtabay's eyes to flash back to their reptilian variant as she growled at the pale eyeless Humanoid.

Cassius: come on guys, it's been all of three seconds and already y'all are at each other's throats. Can we just get to the business at hand please.

Lucius: Yes. With the arrival of Xtabay, The King Of Monsters. I hear by commence the meeting. The first order of business will be the boy King Xtabay discovered.

Lukohé: Well having performed the boy’s physical myself. I have determined that he is quite remarkable, as he appears to resemble an Aeon but also he seems to be as different from the Twins as we are from them. Not unlike the girl Mul sired.

The entirety of the room could feel Xtabay tense up at the mention of that name.

Cassius: So he is one of them?

Lukohé: Well that's still to be determined. Other than how the sand reacted to him, he seems mostly human. And his abilities have yet to manifest, if he has any at all... well at least at the time of examination. Is that still the case?

Xtabay: Correct. He doesn't seem out of the ordinary.

Impetigo: why does the serpent queen possess jurisdiction over the boy? If he does turn out to be one of them, then she can use him to usurp our territories.

Xtabay: He was discovered on my land therefore he is and will remain in my care.

Impetigo: This is unsatisfactory.

Cassius: Come on Tigo. It's really not that big a deal. You really think she’d do something like that?

Impetigo: Yes! We still don't know the details concerning her mother’s death.

Xtabay slammed her fist on the stone table fracturing it. Cassius put his hand on his old fashioned six shooter. Impetigo opened his mouth letting a shadow mist form around his body. Lukohé let out a sigh pushing his glasses back into place. And Lucian never stopped transcribing.

Sahn: Then I'll train him.

Everybody stood down and turned their attention to The Warrior King.

Sahn: Yeah. I'll train him. If he has any powers I'll show him how to control them. And Tabs here can continue to raise him as her son. That way the boy is monitored by two kings. Impetigo, that should be enough to sate your qualms right?

The Nightmare King considered the idea for a moment.

Impetigo: Yes that should suffice.

Sahn: Great, I'll start training on his fifth bloom.

Cassius: Great, now onto other business. I'd like to appoint Bonrue Ortega as the 7th world king. His discipline might not be as physical or spiritual as ours but as far as technological innovation and know-how, he has more than proven himself to sit amongst us.

Sahn: Ah yes, the science boy. I do like him. I second it.

Xtabay: I agree.

Impetigo: no objections here.

Lukohé: yes that city has grown large in quite a short while. I'm interested to see what he can contribute. It's a yes from me.

Lucian: It makes no difference to me.

Cassius: Haha it's settled then I'll deliver the good news. Lucian, will you handle the inauguration details?

Lucian: If not I then who?

Cassius: Good man, I’ll let Rue know.
