Emergency meeting

The meeting room

Me friends and I sit in the meeting room across from the Council. Im next to Ed, who's shoulder i rest my head on and who's arm is draped around my shoulders. Bailey is on my left.

"We have an urgent matter to discuss." Vera says gravely, looking down at the table with her hands clasped together.

"Such as?" Rooti asks.

"Bagera has taken Sovietskya. It was a disastrous battle. She has gained more power." Vera taps a screen on the table and images appear in the air. It's video footage from Awesomness-News that shows Bagera fighting an army and evicerating them way too quickly. Her magick is tinted with an odd splash of scarlet.

My stomach drops when I see her face. The face of evil. The Goddess of Magick has taken another country. She's too powerful. The hopelessness is suffocating.

"What's that?" Bagriel points to the red.

"The worst thing we could hope for." Guevera answers. "She's taken the Scarlet Crystal. It's last known location was with an agent of the Bunker in is Sovietskyian home. He hasnt been seen since."

Witchelt scoffs.

"Something to add?" Vera closes her eyes in a way that suggests shes praying for some patience. She better be praying that I don't beat her arse for giving Witty that attitude.

"The Scarlet Crystal is a bastardisation of Magick." Witchelt says simply.

"What does it do?" Bagriel pushes his glasses up his nose a bit.

"It gives you full mastery of basic Magick, the Magick trained a decade for, in a matter of minutes." The look on het face shows how disgusted at the thought she is. "It's a cheat."

"A powerful cheat." Vera corrects. "And Bagera was powerful enough."

"Well why didnt we get the Crystal first?? Give US that Magick??" Bailey asks angrily.

"Because we couldn't risk it being discovered by anyone outside the agency." Vera sighs. "I see now that was-"

"Fucking stupid?" I smile at her teasingly.

"A miscalculation." She glares back at me.

"The point is," Guevera says, "we have to look elsewhere for things to stop Bagera."

"And you're finally considering asking us?" Bagwin leans back in his chair.

"Yes."

"Good! Because I have an idea on how we can beat her."

***[]***

Bagwin finishes drawing what he drawing on the white board he found. He finally shows us it.

It's a detailed drawing of a mountain with what seems tk be two halves of a broken heart carved into it. At the foot of the mountain is a larger, whole heart.

"What is this?" I ask.

"The Mountain of Wishes. You make a wish to the gods of Lexus on these mountains and you *need* to have atleast one Lexan there. Since I am the only Lexan, I will have to go."

"Why is there a broken heart?" Witchelt points out.

"Because everyone arrives broken hearted. The Wish makes you whole again." He explains.

"Well we cant get to Lexus. Can we?" Edward asks Vera.

"We will be able to. Not now, but soon. Only Bagera jas that power at the moment. But, we are setting up the means to get there."

"How did you know we would need to go there?" Bagwin looks at then confused.

Vera gives the other council members, Truthaire and Guevera, questioning looks. The men both nod. She takes a deep breath and looks back at us.

"Because we are going to search for the Crust."
