[: 3rd POV :]
Within the last remaining kingdom, the atmosphere inside the royal conference hall had long since become suffocating.
Silence lingered between every breath.
Not because there was nothing left to discuss.
But because every possible solution had already been exhausted.
A massive table occupied the center of the hall.
Upon it rested a detailed map of the Kingdom of Yemia.
The once magnificent kingdom was now covered with countless crimson markings.
Every mark represented a fallen fortress.
Every black line represented a defensive wall that had already collapsed.
Only one golden circle remained.
The Royal Capital.
The very last refuge of the entire planet.
Around the table stood the rulers of every surviving race.
King Reja of Humanity.
Queen Elyria of the High Elves.
King Borin Ironhammer of the Dwarves.
Dragon Queen Seraphina.
King Grom of the Giants.
Spirit Queen Sylphia.
Beast King Ragnar.
Fairy Queen Luminia.
Sea King Nerion of the Merfolk.
