"Ok everyone, calm down, we are not strangers, let's eat then talk about things we need to talk later"
Anuka said and clapped her hand once, soon few maids came in with trays filled with food, delicacies that can never be seen among humans is being served.
Each of them received different things to eat and drink.
The hunter Lord Bloodmoon received meat cooked from a bird that cannot be found in the world of human, it will help him stable his mind and soul and gives a soothing feeling, the drink he is served is an elixir made from the finest ingredients that can be found.
The Warlock Diovan is given the meat of a magical beast that will help him stabilize his magical powers and a drink made from the purest mana crystals.
The Vampire Duchess is given normal food but her drink is very special, the blood of an angle.
The Beast Queen Elena is given the meat of the Wyvern, a beast that is closely related to Dragons.
The four were surprised by the food they are given.
"This meat, from what bird is it?"
Bloodmoon asked as he took a bite.
"This meat is from a bird known Boobrie, it is a mythical bird that is known to shape-shift and disguises itself as an injured baby animal, any adult animal that is curious enough to come and check on it will turn into its food"
It is Charles who answered this question.
Bloodmoon nodded.
"This drink is made from the purest mana stones, where did you find them?"
Warlock Diovan asked in surprise.
"These mana stones are found in Princess Anuka's home, we have few in my Lady's palace, we used it to make this especially for you"
Charles said once again.
"This is the blood of an Angle"
Vampire Duchess Bloodstine exclaimed.
"Yes, Princess Anuka especially asked her father to send it over for this occasion"
Charles said.
The Duchess took a sip and is very satisfied as she felt the pulsing energy from the blood going down her throat, even though she is very pleased she didn't show it on her face.
"What meat is this?"
Beast Queen Elena asked as she stopped herself from drooling over her food as she stared at it with big wide eyes.
"This meat is from a Wyvern, they are closely related to Dragons, too bad Dragons are formidable creatures and only beings who can defy the law of nature might have a chance to taste them"
Charles said and sighed.
Hearing Charles everyone in the room gulped down silently, even if they are the highest beings in the world when they are in front of a real Dragon they might just be equivalent to pigs.
They all then silently enjoyed their meal, after finished it their dishes are taken away, they cleaned themselves up and looked at Anuka.
Anuka smiled and nodded, she clapped her hands twice and signaled everyone else to leave the room.
Soon the maids and butlers left the room, Charles walked to the edge of the room and silently stood there.
"Ok now we can discuss what we need to discuss, let's start with Lord Bloodmoon"
Anuka said and looked at the old man.
"Hmm, since this war is about to start and our faction will begin it, we want 30% of the spoils for ourselves"
He said clearly.
"Lord Bloodmoon, if you say like that then even I should get 30% of the spoils as the Underworld will also be the first one to start this war, the remaining will only be left with 40%, why don't you ask them"
Anuka smiled and said.
Lord Bloodmoon frowned and looked at others, all of them showed their dissatisfaction, he frowned but didn't speak.
"Warlock Diovan, how about you state your reasoning"
Anuka asked.
"No matter who starts the war the mages will be attacked for their resources, but 20% of the spoils will make up for it, everyone will still get an equal amount from the spoils and the factions will be able to stay peaceful for another thousand to ten thousand years"
Warlock Diovan said.
"Anuka, I think its a good idea but let's hear from the remaining two before we get into a conclusion"
Anuka said and looked at Beast Queen Elena.
"I also agree with what Warlock Diovan said, we should receive 20% of the spoils"
She said and looked at Vampire Duchess Bloodstine.
"Duchess Bloodstine what do you think about this?"
Anuka asked.
"It is a good deal, just like every other war spoils but there is a problem"
"Problem?"
Anuka asked.
"Yes, the Demons, there seem to be some momentum from their part"
Bloodstine said.
"Demons, from the demon realm?"
"Yes"
"Care to explain?"
Anuka asked.
"You must have all heard about this lowly being who calls himself Lone Wolf right?"
Duchess Bloodstine said.
"Yes, he is the sole reason for this war to start but nothing is known about him than being a low-level High Lord Werewolf"
Lord Bloodmoon said.
"I tried to look into through the ancestral tree of the Werewolves but I found no connection to this Lone Wolf"
Beast Queen Elena said.
"Interesting, a man who seems to have started the war we were planning for a few years but we still have no clue who this person is, very interesting"
Anuka said and laughed.
"I also looked into this, this one seems to have massacred a bunch of Mages and Insectivours to gain the attention of the others"
Warlock Diovan said.
"Whatever he did, did catch our attention but we still cannot tell who this person is"
Duchess Bloodstine said.
"Duchess Bloodstine please continue what you were saying before we get completely sidetrack from the main reason"
Anuka reminded everyone.
"Yes, this Lone Wolf killed a lowly commander Vampire, so some Barons sent few to investigate into this matter and found out that the commander that was killed actually was visiting the Demon realm, the Viscounts looked deeper into it and found that there are spies amongst us who work for the demon realm, we were able to eradicate few of them but we soon found out they have already penetrated deep into the nest, the same might be happening to your factions as well"
She said.
"Wait, if what you said is true than the incident that happened a few days ago, about the brutal murder of a Mutant who worked for the underworld, it seems to be done from one of our facility, I was able to tell things didn't seem normal, this may have been done by the spies of the demon realm"
Lord Bloodmoon said.
"This mutant was killed in Freyton, the same place this Lone Wolf lives, do you think he works for the demons or he might be a demon"
Warlock said.
"This might be a possibility, nobody knows what he really is except people claiming it to be a Werewolf, I really doubt that every Werebeast born will be written down by the ancestral tree, they cannot escape from that, I think it might be a Demon disguised as a Werewolf"
Beast Queen Elena said.
"Hm, the Demons might want to interfere in this war, if that happens we might have to come up with a strategy"
Anuka said and smiled.
