Rebirth: Childhood friend of the heroine

[Inside the church]

The situation was quite serious. The round table was filled with the most influential people in the world currently.

On the left were the king of Grimland, Adolf, and the tribal chief of Greyhound—Barka.

On the right was the Vampire Monarch Azeroth and beside him sat the current head of Whiteden, Godric Dorhales—the same man who provided refuge to Rebecca and Alex when they visited Whiteden.

On the head position sat the Pope and across from himself sat the Supreme Saintess, and the person on whom everyone's attention was.

They all have gathered just now, and as such, the meeting began.

"You warned us, but we failed to respond," Adolf said with a regretful look in his eyes.

He and the other two nations on the human side were the first ones who got to know about the incoming danger. The Saintess informed them that this obstacle would be unprecedented and would leave everyone helpless

And that turned out to be true, as even the strongest existence of the planet was currently sitting here to receive guidance from the Saintess.

Sarah had a troubled look on her face. Her thin brows were drawn closer as she said, "This arrived a lot before than I anticipated. However, we can do nothing but accept the fact that the Supreme Deities are going to ruin our world."

Someone who was the symbol of peace and unity to be speaking such words in a grave voice, gave a very ominous vibe.

Everyone around Sarah looked visibly tensed, but that's her motive. She cannot appear lax in the matter, even a bit. They need to understand the necessity to unify the realms and choose their champions sensibly.

"Your Holiness, did you receive the word from the Goddess?" Barka, the huge wolfman, asked in a heavy voice.

Sarah nodded, "Indeed, I did. That is why we cannot remain nonchalant about it. We need to prepare for what is to come, or our world, the innocent people, will cease to exist once the given time elapses."

Grave silence descended upon the conference room when Sarah affirmed the message to be indeed from heavens.

None in the room had the courage to go against Sarah and defy her words. She was the closest being to the deities, and even Azeroth acknowledged her as a messenger of God.

"So...what can we do now? Just select the few strong individuals from each realm?" Godric broke the silence as he extended the suggestion.

Barka added, "We can bring our best warriors, maybe four from each realm would do?"

Adolf added, "That would be the best. We can bring our best warriors and simply provide them the resources to make a good team."

Godric also nodded in assent. However, before he or anyone else could have continued speaking,

"No, you don't understand." Azeroth suddenly spoke, bringing every eye to focus on him.

The silver-haired man leaned forward. Resting his arms on the table he said, "You all need to understand that we cannot decide which realm will bring how many warriors. We cannot think this as separate realm but as one—the residents of Nebula." His strong tone and the meaning behind his words shocked a few.

They...really were treating this matter as something they need to manage as separate realms and hope for coordination from other realms.

However, Azeroth had different opinion, as he said, "We need to think about our people first, rather than the differences we have created. This trial would test if we are worthy to exist or not. And that's why, we need to work together and find out who could be our best possible option on whom can risk our world."

Azeroth haven't spoken like this for a long time, however, when he does, others listen.

Not only was he the oldest one in the room, he has also faced a crisis like this in the past when everything was dyed in the color of chaos.

Heaving a sigh, Sarah added, "He is right, we need to take this as a world not realms, or nothing but regret would remain."

Just as she finished speaking she heard some voices from the door, ushering her to ask, "Is something the matter, Sir Arthur."

The soldier was flustered to hear the Saintess words directed at him. But he soon responded to her, "Ah, there is a boy wanting to meet you but I told the soldiers to send-"

"What is his name?" Sarah suddenly got up, surprising the others, and the soldier too.

However, soon Arthur regained his composure and asked his subordinate who came to inform him.

"He introduced himself as Alex, Your Holiness."

"Do you think the message will reach her?" Celestria asked as she sat beside her beloved and fed him the leftover food she had.

There was no food stalls nearby or she would have brought something fresh and good for him.

Munching on the vegetables, Alex spoke, "Even if it doesn't, I will somehow meet her today."

"The crowd is only growing." Hector, who was standing not so far away from them, muttered as he saw the amount of nobles have risen over five hundred...and the commoners were endlessly filling the space.

Many have already settled tents and started cooking food before the barrier—clearly showing reluctance to leave without hearing a word from the Supreme Saintess.

From what Alex could tell, Sarah must be really busy to not be able to calm down these people. She always prioritize to first calm down others, even if her mind is filled with chaos.

When Ceaser reached the church, he was bleeding all over. However, Sarah kept calming him down even though she seemed quite panicked while patching him up.

'The Vampire Monarch though...he kept his promise...' Alex asked Azeroth that if something like this happens, Azeroth wouldn't delay in making a move.

After all, if the ruler of the Blood Domain gets involved in the matter, the other races would have to respond as well. And thankfully Azeroth did as Alex wished.

They remained seated there for another few minutes, when suddenly, a soldier came rushing in their way.

"Excuse me, are you Sir Alex." The soldier asked, urging Alex to nod.

"You have been summoned in the Cathedral. Please follow me."

Elara's eyes widened while Hector also showed slight surprise. There were many nobles waiting to meet the Saintess, yet just after arriving here, Alex got the permission to enter.

Alex looked at Celestria, before planting a kiss on her forehead, before he said, "Wait for me."

Getting up he followed the soldier and under everyone's astonished and frustrated gazes, Alex was led inside the church.
