The digital war room sprang to life, buzzing like a heart glowing with energy. Ten holographic panels flickered into focus, each displaying sharp, dynamic images of influential leaders.
At the forefront was Darius Veyne, flanked by Lira Solmarr on his right. The remaining members of the Concord of Ten,Rook Kael, Senna Voss, Mira Hel, Talis Orin, Korin Veyd, Joran Dyre, Draven Sol, and Veyra Aldis, completed the assembly.
The room's walls, fashioned from sleek black glass and titanium, mirrored the torrential flow of data: market movements, biostock figures, and encrypted communications coursing across the globe. The atmosphere pulsed with the organized voices of powerful figures.
For the first time in years, ten empires had laid down their conflicts,not out of trust, but rather out of fear. Fear that their great empires might collapse before their very eyes.
Darius's voice sliced through the cacophony. "Let's get started."
The battle had begun.
