15. All Together 5
But unlike Ad-juru, this young man was practically his opposite, not only was he stockier and stronger, like the other men present, he also had vibrant caramel hair with more tanned skin than Lucien, he also seemed to have a halo of light more towards bronze, similar to Lauriel and Maeelus but much less noticeable when compared to them. He had brown eyes mixed with a similar orange and copper that almost glowed like Anari and Jean's eyes.
Now comparing it to your seat neighbor Ad-juru...
"Born, I'm glad you're here but do you really have to copy Ad on the way to get there?" Old Zuhn asked, feeling a headache forming.
"No need to copy." Born responded. "Wanting to copy to see your reactions is another story, that complaining never loses its fun. Ad you recorded their reaction when I flew and arrived right?"
"Obviously, it's one of my favorite things to do, especially since we don't get together as often." The semi-undead responded to his shiny friend, even if looking at him slightly hurt his eye sockets.
"Haha, great then we see who got the best reaction."
"Could you guys not discuss this right now!!?" Anati said, looking at the two angrily.
"That's why we're going to do this later, right Ad?"
"Lol, of course."
"Well now that we're all in we can start—"
"There's still a moment before someone arrives." Lucien interrupted old Zhun.
"Who exactly?" Lauriel asked, not missing anyone.
"Sorry, but Lin and I decided that it would be more prudent to have the opinion of another member of the "evolved" beyond the Hooku Quadriants." He clarified lightly, without giving a complete answer to the young blonde woman.
"Another one of the evolved ones.... That doesn't mean—" before Maeelus finished the thought everyone was having. Another member appeared, almost breaking down the doors as she did so.
She was a girl who didn't look more than 12 years old, 1.25 tall with big, bright eyes, with big, silky hair that almost reached the ground and was multi-colored between red, blue, green, black, white and gold. At first glance she seemed to be the very definition of charm and cuteness that a child could have, if one could ignore the goat-like horns on top of her nearly 12-inch head, not to mention the crimson tail that trailed on the ground. behind it with sharp thorns and an arrow-shaped mole.
"Because she's here, we shouldn't allow her to even come close let alone set foot here." Lauriel said through gritted teeth and looking at the girl who had just entered without any decorum.
"What's the matter, sweetheart, don't you like the fact that your daddy called me personally and only sent you a message?" The girl responded, matching the blonde's look with smugness and a sideways smile.
Lauriel clenched his teeth even tighter, staring at the uneducated brat and was about to make the same mistake as his brother, until.
"Don't even think about it Lauri." Lucien cut it before she could convert the MATER particles into physical matter. "And you too Tyama" he said turning to the girl.
"Hunf, I was just joking you know me sir Lucien." The girl said. "Yes, and thank you for allowing me into your meeting. You have no idea how much I've been dying of curiosity over the last few millennia imagining what it would be like inside your castle. And I'm not disappointed at all, truly a castle made for gods ." She finished with a giggle that irritated not only Lauriel, but also Ethel, Born, Mussa, Maeelus and Kalina. The others were at least uncomfortable with the assessment; after all, they were not just human (and almost human) gods, who lived much longer than normal and acquired knowledge beyond what would be possible for ordinary minds.
"I ask that you please behave yourself or we will be forced to permanently banish you and exclude all of your kind from final decisions." Lucien said looking at the "girl".
Feeling the strong and decisive gaze of one of the only ones present who was kinder to her and her fellow men, she reflected briefly but seriously and said.
"Very well, I'm just sorry for that comment. I really appreciate you letting me participate in one of your meetings even though I don't have the same constitution as you." She said bowing to everyone present even though every fiber of her body screamed not to submit to the will of others.
"We thank you for coming and being willing to listen to us." Luciene said in place of the others that they still didn't feel comfortable with the presence of the girl with the tail and horns. "And I personally, having recanted, know how difficult this must have been for you." He said looking at everyone present who nodded slightly, even Lauriel and Ethel although they were a little longer.
"Well, now that everyone is here... Unless you, or someone else, also sent some other invitation to someone unexpected, say someone who would be at the bottom of the sea?" Old Zhun asked looking at everyone present lingering on Lucien, Ad-juru, Maeelus and Tyama.
"For my part, we are now all present and can begin." Lucien replied.
""Idem""
Zhun sighed and said.
"Very well, then as the chosen moderator of all of us for the last 5 thousand years I declare this meeting officially begun." Old Zhun said. "The agenda of this meeting is the discussion on how to act with the new beings that apparently appeared in the last 1 thousand years and the renaming and classification of the new and previous ones." Zhun said, standing up solemnly and looking at everyone present and each corner of the holographic globe with his eyes turning completely white again.
