Water shot a disgusted look at the Jakan, who were taking on ugly expressions. Water went back to his book. Even as he frowned, inside he felt a smile coming on.
The Jakan were a race that thought of fighting as a holy thing, complete with rituals and conditions. If these conditions were not met, then it would not be a battle that their god believed in.
Emerilia was being attacked on every side by multiple people, not allowing them to bring their most powerful forces to bear. This wouldn’t make it an honorable battle, but if Fire could plant the idea for them to fight these other enemies and that they, Emerilia, and their people would stay out of the fight—or at least the Terra Alliance would—then they would be able to deal with two birds with but one stone.

Air and her people had spent a large amount of time trying to look over all the possible contingencies that they would need to deal with when the players started to wake up in Ice City.
Now all of them were looking at what was being called an implantation laboratory. It was the first of its kind, with a total of seven cloning laboratories that were working nonstop to create the bodies of the players who were within the server farms at the north and south poles of Emerilia.
Bob was at the controls, looking over the whole procedure. With this, they would be destroying the player’s brain in order to code it to the cloned body. At the same time, Jeeves’s program would insert an AI-controlled program that would replace them within their Earth simulation in order to make sure that the simulation’s AI wouldn’t be able to detect anything amiss.
The runes around the player’s body glowed, Mana thick in the air as everyone’s eyes were on the player.
Bob’s eyes were fixed on a series of complicated-looking medical screens.
After a few hours, the glow around the body dimmed. Bob’s eyes moved from screen to screen. Silence fell over the room as different people checked out different status screens.
“We did it!” Bob yelled, a smile on his face. “We’re going to have to wait for them to wake up to see just what everything is like for them and to check their condition. Though all of the readings I’m getting show that they’re healthy and good to go!”
It was like a dam had burst as everyone cheered and yelled out in excitement.
Air smiled and looked to Venfik. He nodded to her; halfway through the motion, he suddenly stopped and frowned as he looked over to Bob.
Air also looked over, seeing Bob’s face turn from joy to sorrow in a moment. The look on his face pulled at Air’s heartstrings.
***
The Lady of Light sat up from her chair and looked to Khanundra.
Her hall was more bright and refined than ever with the power of all Markolm coming in and more people joining in, giving their devotions to the Lady of Light that protected them from the war that was happening across Emerilia.
Many of them had turned fanatical with the turn of events, something that Light had grown and worked on.
“Khanundra, go retrieve them,” Light said. With a wave of her hand, Khanundra disappeared from the hall as Light looked to Daeundra.
“Seal Markolm. Only the followers must be allowed in. The Legions of Light have returned.” A cold light flashed in Light’s eyes as a cruel smile formed on her face.
Daeundra disappeared in a flash.
Light used her pool to look at the location where she had felt a large outpouring of energy and devotions to her. She looked at the air above Heval where formations of angels appeared one after another. The air filled with their golden armor and weapons as they looked at Emerilia.
Their cold faces seemed to deem everything as trash within their eyes. As Khanundra appeared, they all kneeled. Those who appeared afterward also dropped to a knee in mid-air, their wings flapping behind them to keep them aloft but on a lower level than Khanundra.
She issued orders. The Legions of Light, formed from Light’s own angels, formed together, waiting until no more formations appeared in midair.
Khanundra turned and shot off across the sky. A flood of golden light followed her.
“The time for my rise and the destruction of the Pantheon has come,” Light said, a pleased smile on her face.
Emerilia will be continued in The Pantheon Moves.
