The thoughts that we're walking to face the 7 leaders of the EAF's power base is making me somehow anxious, but still, Xavierheld's glory needs to stand firm in our representation.

Agad kaming napatigil nang maabot ng aming mga paa ang dulo ng pathway. We stood still at taas noong napaharap sa isang spherical stadium.

Elegant wooden table then stretched almost through the half of the said spherical stage, making a podium-like office table for the 7 mighty leaders.

The low violet lights then illuminates through the whole dimmed auditorium giving us the chance to glance the faces of the leaders.

From the far left side, sitting comfortably on their golden seats, were the leaders from the American Union, Asian Empire and the African Coalition.

While on the right were the leaders of Australian Federation, Arabic Regions and the Soviet Circles. All of them, pressing their eyes on us.

Ngunit something had really caught my attention. I'm not blaming my OCD complex for this one, coz It's obviously noticeable.

The golden seat in the middle was bare empty. Not a shadow, nor a soul. Kung hindi ako nagkakamali, that seat represents the European Sovereign.

Ang pinakamakapangyarihan sa lahat ng pitong upuan. The spearhead of the Earth Alliance Forces.

But for now, it's merely just an ordinary golden chair, for the king was not able to, nor had been given the chance to sit on it.

Agad kaming sumaludo in front of them. Giving the classical military and honorable greeting that every leader should make.

They stood, all in their uniform gestures as they respectfully acknowledged and returned back our salute.

"Greetings, Admiral Maris Einsmann. Captain Halagaz Helsberg."

Napatindig kami ng tayo as we heard the voice of a said old man. He maintained his stance, while everybody on the said spherical podium had taken their seats.

Minabuti naming lumapit sa harap ng mataas na podium as we watch our steps on the dimmed but glowing red glass floor.

I found myself slightly amazed nang matanto kong isang malaking pulang insignia ng EAF pala ang aming tinatapakan, with its superb durability glass cover that acts like the floor on this auditorium.

Umaalingaw-ngaw ang lamig sa loob dala ng centralized air-condition unit. Napatingala ako at pinagmasdan ang nasabing matandang lalaking nakasuot ng pormal na suit mula sa itaas.

He was the representative of the American Union, the second most powerful alliance that the EAF had.

"In behalf of the EAF, we would like to welcome the representatives of the mighty Xavierheld Military. It is a great honor for the both of you to attend to our call despite of the life-threatening unexpected circumstances the both of you had experienced and due to this, we would like to express our sincere gratitude for your efforts."

Napatingala ako as I gave a smile on the said old official.

"It's our honor to respond to the needs of our comrades, the EAF and Xavierheld shall be hand on hand especially in times like this." I said na nagpatango sa pitong leaders.

"The rumors were surely true. Xavierheld Military Officials are indeed, very courteous. Truly an ally we can count on, and that's reason why we requested your presence before us." The official said as he pressed the hologram button.

"I'm.. I'm quite ashamed. Xavierheld does not deserve for such high complements. Our supplemental forces did not achieve its target mission for today, to protect his majesty." I regretfully said at napapikit.
