and forth from the
force of the ice bolt hitting it.   The
pot quickly froze, and an instant later it exploded into tiny shards of gold
and silver, which flew in every direction.   Everyone in the room ducked in order to avoid these minuscule
projectiles.   She then turned toward the
side door she had come in and sent a ball of fire at it.   In a split second, the door erupted into
flames and was gone.   She stormed from
the room cursing each council member as she stalked past them.
    Princess
Kira and General Yukio stood to make their announcement after this violent
outburst.   They were not thrown off by
what happened; instead they saw it as a perfect lead in to what they were about
to share with the stunned elves around the table.   They smiled at one another in a way that
unnerved the council members as they sat back in their chairs looking at the
council.   Many of the members thought
that Kira was about to lose control like her sister.   They had not expected a reaction so extreme
from Kishi, so they did not know what to expect from the youngest Tiranidrol.
    “We
have come here to finally reveal to you our secret plans and will not hear any
more talk about your meaningless verdict,” General Yukio said with an edge to
his voice.   He was no longer
smiling.   He had such a hypnotic look in
his eyes that no one could look away.   He
was about to use his hidden mental powers to get his way yet again.   There was no turning back once he revealed
his psychic abilities on these supposedly superior elves.
    “The
spirits of this ancient forest have shown us how the elves have become too
entrenched in their archaic traditions and beliefs.   An evolution of the elven race is the only
way that the elves can be saved from utter ruin,” Kira stated succinctly. She
was making reference to the Seda, which are spirit creatures that reside in the
Black Forest.   These spirits give
glimpses of the future to travelers that enter their realm.   They reveal the future to those that can
manipulate relevant events to bring about the future they have predicted.   It is not wise to trifle with these powerful
beings because they are allies to no one.   They believe themselves to be vastly superior to every living thing in
Tuwa.
    “It
was also shown to us that this inept high council would convict the two of us
based on antiquated laws.   The Seda
informed us of what we would need to do to save the elven race from certain
annihilation,” the general said confidently.   He was enjoying this feeling of knowing more than these high and mighty
elves.   His visage darkened even more as
he looked at the council.
    At
this point, it dawned on King Ciel what these conspirators were playing
at.   He did not like what he thought they
were about to do.   His ability to reads
minds did not work on his daughter or the general for some reason.   However, he was able to read the effect that
the general was having on the minds of the council members.   He was able to deduce that they were plotting
treasonous acts.   The elven kingdom had
stood for countless millennia united in the common cause of caring for Tuwa,
and he was not going to allow these two to ruin that.   He realized that he would not be able to stop
what was about to happen without force.   He readied himself to command his guard to seize the traitors and to
execute Yukio on the spot while forcibly ejecting Kira once she was restrained.   He, just like the council, did not think of
the consequences of such rash actions.
    “You
may think that we will allow you to carry out the assigned punishments, but you
could not be more wrong.   We have been
planning to leave for some time now, and today was designated to be the day we
leave the main body of the elves, as foretold by the Seda.   We will not depart alone either…” Princess
Kira said boldly.   She could not wait
another moment; she had waited too long for this day to arrive.   She allowed for a thin smile to
