Chapter 2 – Unexpected part 2

"And to think that everything was done in advance," Enzo Roll said. General Director of the SOC, forty-two years old, light brown, short semi-gray hair, black eyes. He is somewhat cold, inexpressive.

"Twenty years lost," says Mateo Reyes, saddened. "How did it slip through our fingers?"

"The Rocs Dark are scary guys," says Axel Persah. Current president of Saiso, blond, short hair, thirty-three years old, brown eyes. Survivor of the Rocs Dark invasion long ago.

"The voice of experience spoke to you, Mateo Reyes," replies Bahir Mahem. President of Trararus, dark, short curly hair, thirty-five years old, green eyes. Trararus is a neighboring country of Saiso and he knows several details of the invasion.

"I was only president for seven months," says Axel Persah in a low voice, "and the rest of my term I lived in asylum in Trararus. He says ironically.

"Yes, for three years now. It is unfortunate that the Kingdom of Gold has fallen to the Rocs Dark," Mateo Reyes says in a somber voice. "Now the Kingdom of Stone has also fallen."

"And why now? Kidnap Torrenders?" asks Matias Sarit. "Why wait three years?" He is puzzled.

"Do you want to understand the talking rocks?" says Hernán Soles, sarcastically. He is a Lieutenant of the SOC. "Heh, it's like talking to a wall." He is white, tall, with short red hair, thirty-one years old in excellent physical condition; muscular with a black right eyepatch, his only eye is brown.

"Easy, muscle bag, we are not here for jokes," Azumi Sazekic answers. President of Zasorial, white complexion, long straight black hair, twenty-eight years old and bright satin eyes-blue. She is a Torrender with the power of Water, she entered the world of politics six years ago.

"Haha, I was telling the truth," said Hernan Soles.

"The issue here is that we are unprotected," said Everatt Saen. President of Reans, light brunette, long wavy black hair, thirty-nine years old, black eyes. In Reans there are several volcanoes, it is not easy to live there.

"Will we get out of this?" asks Sasha Vera in a sad tone. President of Avirde, white complexion, with long straight black hair, thirty-one years old, green eyes. She is usually more animated.

The Central Country is the cultural union of the seven Kingdoms. The Kingdoms are distinguished by the mineral resources provided by the subsoil that do not exist in any other kingdom, except the stone that is common.

The seven kingdoms;

Kingdom of Stone - Country of Finare (Home of the Torrenders).

Kingdom of Gold - Country of Saiso (Territory of the Rocs Dark).

Kingdom of Quartz - Country of Trararus.

Kingdom of Diamond - Country of Zasorial.

Kingdom of Obsidian - Country of Reans.

Kingdom of Emerald - Country of Avirde.

Kingdom of Iron - Country of Nanun.

Many years ago, legend has it that once there were continents called Africa, America, Antarctica, Asia, Europe and Oceania. Until one day they disappeared in a catastrophe leaving a world of water, the only remains of dry land and human civilization is the Prosperous World formed by the seven Kingdoms. And it is currently threatened by the Rocs Dark.

Continuing with the emergency meeting.

"Don't despair, we have a plan," says Enzo Roll in a confident tone.

"And what's the plan? Apart from having our doubles in the presidential office," says Matias Sarit.

"Well, the idea of not being kidnapped is also a good plan," says Azumi Sazekic.

"We still have a Torrender with us," argues Andrea Khond. President of Nanun, white complexion, redhead with short straight hair, thirty-four years old, black eyes. Nanun is the only country where snow falls.

"What?! You can't expect me to go alone to the Rocs Dark's lair!" exclaims Azumi Sazekic.

The presidents feel exalted.

"No, not you, dear. I meant a Torrender besides you," explains Andrea Khond.

"That's crazy," says Axel Persah uneasily.

"She's a talented Torrender who has trained rigorously," replies Enzo Roll.

"It's nonsense, how is a plan like that going to work," replies Bahir Mahem, upset. "Axel barely made it out of Saiso alive with the help of several Torrenders, and I gave him asylum in my country." He gives a slight sigh, "You can't imagine the horrors he saw."

"Actually, she won't go alone, and we hope she will," Enzo Roll says.

"Her first mission will be to find the Lost Hero," Hernan Soles intervenes.

"But no one has seen him for years, and how do they know he's alive?" says Sasha Vera.

"He lives in the country where I govern, but I don't know where someone as strong as him is, he's probably still doing his own thing," explains Azumi Sazekic. "Dracír retired and the years won't affect him, I think, but what will bring him back?"

"We think that if Dracír learns about the fall of Finare he will come back," Andrea Khond answers.

"The Zasorial Country is big, how do you find someone like that?" commented Azumi Sazekic.

"Torrenders can feel other Torrenders with empathy," says Andrea Khond.

"Yes, I know," says Azumi Sazekic. "But I know it could take forever, if I took a walk through Zasorial."

"He'll find Dracír in less time, that's what we're relying on," said Enzo Roll serenely. The others were asking themselves questions in their heads as to how he will succeed.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Knock, knock, knock!

"We are in a private meeting, come back later!" Enzo Roll exclaims.

The door opens without warning.

"I'm afraid I can't come back later, I've just arrived," says Ciro walking a few steps forward, he watches everyone.

"How dare you come in, who are you?" asks Enzo Roll expectantly.

"He is my cousin," says Azumi Sazekic.

"It's been a long time, Azumi, sorry I'm late," says Ciro.

"I didn't know you were coming," says Azumi Sazekic.

"I don't understand, who is he?" asks Enzo Roll.

"I am the envoy looking for Dracír," answers Ciro.

"So you were alive, Torrender," said Hernan Soles.

"There is another Torrender who was not kidnapped..." commented Matias Sarit. He didn't know whether to be relieved, at least there are more of them. "I didn't notice because of the sunglasses he's wearing.
