| Cast of Characters: | The Senators of Archades, Gramis Solidor, Gabranth |
"Baron is denying all actions of what took place in Fluorgis."
The words echoed in the chamber around the room where all the Senators sat and where Emperor Gramis Solidor sat at the head of the round like table. The room darker then normal, in center of this table was a large scale, highly detailed map of all the areas known to world of ruin.
Another senator then spoke up, "Yet we know from Judge Magister Gabranth and from Judge Magister Zargabaath that the man whom attacked was trying to convene them to join Baron! For /us/ to join Baron. How much longer until the turn to look in our direction, because of the refusal of? It has been reported that there could be an alliance between Alexandria and Baron as well. Whom are we allied with? No one!"
"We must not jump to conclusions either. To act hastily would be seen as an act of aggression. We just continue to stick by our ground."
"You do know that I was /never/ in agreement with protecting Fluorgis!"
"And yet," Gramis spoke up sliding his hand down away from the side of his face as he listened to the Senate members bounce this around all morning. "The majority agreed, along with myself. The question once more is. What will Archades do now? It seems we are still in agreement to continue to aid Fluorgis, yet we are no one in agreement on what we should do about a possibility of a war."
One of the senators who has been silent speaks up. "Archadian People are known to be brought up on war. Such a thing is in her blood. Yet you have two sons Gramis who see different points of light.. and two others that were killed." There was moment of silence on the emphasis of the death. "One of your sons seeks peace over all, while the other seems very willing to war. That son whom would war is right there in Rabanstre."
One of the Senators quickly pipes up, "And do you think he will stand by?"
The senator who had been quiet raises his hand, to state simply he is not done. The Senators then all look at one another, then look to Gramis who taps his index finger gently on the arm of his chair, remaining silent. Before the one senator then continues.
"Yet, we have no proof. Beyond our Judge Magisters words and perhaps words of those whom are willing to speak up. We have nothing. If we were to act now, would be placing Archades into a dark position. Having our Judges and Judge Magisters strike with no evidence. We will have to wait for them to show there hand before we act and hope that Lord Vayne will do the same."
"Lord Vayne, my son," Gramis speaks up, "Will do as the Senate requests."
The Senators look at one another, before they all nod. "Then we are in agreement. We will continue to aid Fluorgis the best we can, while we wait to see if we can gather more information. Until then, we should continue to prepare by any means necessary." The Senator then places his hands on the table. "If we must go to war with Baron, we should at least be sure that our forces are ready and our airships primed."
