The Gathered Leaders

Pearl stood next to his uncle, the group of other 6 leaders from the various colonies sitting on massive seats in front of him. It was just him and the 7 leaders in the room. Senior Yao had been made to stay outside as not everyone was allowed inside.

The leaders quickly got themselves comfortable and looked at the Lion.

"Leader Zhu, what is going on? What is the emergency?" the eagle asked, with her azure wings folded around herself as she sat closely.

"You made it sound like it was a life or death situation," the Lizard said.

The rest didn't speak and only nodded. Instead, their eyes flickered from time to time toward Pearl. They were certainly surprised by him being here.

They didn't recognize him at all. They had no idea who he was. However, what got them to look at him was what he was.
