3 Agreement
"Are we in the middle of nowhere? Is this still the Land of Wisdom? I never have been in this place." The Supreme of Peace wondered in his mind before he glanced at the Supreme of Wisdom.
"Are we lost?" The Supreme of Peace asked; he looked around and was confused.
"No, we are not lost. We just arrived at my flat."
•••••
The flat is fairly concealed from plain sight; its precise location cannot be known by street signs. One meter above street level, enclosed by a two-meter-high, terracotta brick wall, the entire compound is elevated. A strip of trimmed fruit trees stands along the left side of the perimeter wall as you enter the main gate. Like a stack of Lego blocks made of lapis lazuli in a deep Prussian blue hue, it is a three-story concrete house with no visible roof.

"Oh… Wow! We've been in front of your flat since our arrival." The Supreme of Peace was surprised.
The Two Supremes entered the flat and were welcomed by the Ǝ (Exists) — maids and butlers. They made a feast for dinner to show hospitality to the guest. The room was packed with the scent of food, the rectangular oak wood packed with chopped meat, vegetables, assorted spices, and chocolate mousse cake for dessert, wrapped in ivory colored fabric. The only light there was the eight candles lit inside of a glass jar —the light was radiant.
The Ǝ performed classical music and danced while the Two Supremes partake the feast. After dinner, they went to the meeting room in the flat.
Inside the meeting room was a round-table made of mahogany wood, covered with the plain color of ghost-white cloth. The brightness was dim to nothing; several tall candles were lit. They sat properly in the wooden square-backed chairs; they discussed the problems the Land of Wisdom was facing.
"To be honest, I never expected you to be part of our problems." The Supreme of Wisdom sighed.
"Don't worry. The Supreme must always lend his helping hand." The Supreme of Peace seriously said.
"So... Going forward…" The Supreme of Wisdom placed his hands in the table and clenched his hands together. "I like to propose a deal that will be beneficial for both of our kingdom."
"What is it?"
"I will get straight to the point. Our future is in danger. What I want is that all the Supremes unite and protect the future." The Supreme of Wisdom vigorously said.
"—However, since you are the only person left here, and the Three Supremes are in the Gathering of Ssoul; You are the only person I can talk to about this predicament."
"What do you mean that the future is in danger?" The Supreme of Peace crossed his arms.
"I'm still not sure… It was blurred when I saw it but… the world was gone." The Supreme of Wisdom reclined.
"This is a confidential matter." The Supreme of Peace pointed his right arm upwards. "We should release the Two Supremes immediately to formulate a plan regarding this crisis." He positioned both his hands on the surface of the table.
"But there's something that I don't understand… Why did you say a deal that will be beneficial for both of our kingdom? —Why not get straight to the point in the first place?" The Supreme of Peace was puzzled.
"Oh… that… yeah… I want you to train the Marahuyo. In exchange, I'll help you with your economic problems."
"But why? —Your methods in training the Marahuyo are fine." The Supreme of Peace leaned back and placed his left hand in his chin.
"Because you were trained and a son of an Imperial Soldier. You are also the representative of Harmonia when it comes to international military affairs. —Basically, because you are the General of Harmonia."
"HA-HA-HA! Your words honor me too much." The Supreme of Peace laughed again "—I'm sorry." The Supreme of Peace cleared his throat. "I guess it is not a bad deal given how improved the Land of Wisdom is. And this is for the future as well. —Well then, I agree with your proposal."
The Two Supremes stood up, placed their closed-fist-right-arm in the middle of the chest, and bowed their head as they had come to an agreement.
"All that's left for now is to inform the other Supremes." The Supreme of Peace said before leaving the meeting room.
"I'll send a telegram as soon as possible to further discuss this matter." The Supreme of Wisdom said as he saw the back of the Supreme of Peace while leaving.
"I'll leave it to you then." The Supreme of Peace waved his right hand.
The Supreme of Peace departed and traveled straight back to his territory that night. The Supreme of Wisdom went to his bedroom and slept.
*The Next Day*
The Supreme of Wisdom sent a telegram to each Supreme.
URGENT! CONFIDENTIAL!
