“Due to the imminent threat that we have all witnessed, I believe it is safe to say that these so called ’Mages’ need to be dealt with immediately. I am a representative of the organization that will aid you in your fight against these wretched beings, the CEO of Star Masses Health Co. Any questions?”

“The chair recognizes the representative of the People’s Republic of China.”

A stout Asian man rose from his seat. He straightened his black suit jacket and yellow tie as he stared through his thin eyes at the businessman that stood in front of the United Nations on this day. He could see no reasons to trust this man. The delegate had watched the video of the Mages being exposed for himself and it had seemed to him that the true threat was the one called the “Blocker.” It had appeared to this delegate that the woman caught on video fleeing had posed no true threat to the world as a whole. Yet, as usual, the American public had gone in an uproar about the attack. Ever since the incident titled 9/11 it had always been the same with those dramatic individuals. No matter, there were other countries that could see reason to stop this madness.

“Please excuse me, sir,” the delegate said, “but I fail to see what the threat is. The only footage that has been shown to us of this so called threat has been the individual you call the ’Blocker’ attacking one of these Mages. If anything, it appears he is a bigger threat than any of these Mages. Thus, I must say without sufficient evidence, the People’s Republic of China cannot agree to endorse such an idea.” This seemed to rattle a few of the other delegates. China was a veto power, after all. If they could not get China to agree or at least abstain, then any efforts to neutralize this threat would be stopped dead in its tracks. However, what seemed to catch the representative off guard, was the smile that graced the CEO’s lips at the question. He chuckled and smiled broadly.

“I’m so glad you asked, dear representative. You see, during an expedition sponsored by our company, we discovered tissues and blood samples from these beings, as well as weapons that seem to be infused with their powers. These weapons each had some special ability that could easily kill a large group of people, and given the sheer amount of them, it is easy to see they were preparing for war. On top of this, why would they have stayed in hiding for so long if not to spot our weaknesses and then wipe us out? The facts are all there and you cannot deny them. On top of that, I have already prepared a weapon that will aid us in our fight against these Mages.” The CEO looked back to the stand and whistled. A head rose up from behind the stand. The woman stood up and flicked her long black hair over her shoulder.

“Yes sir?” she replied, her blue eyes striking the entire room into silence. The CEO signaled to her. The woman walked to the stairs and took her time in descending to the CEO’s side. Her blood red dress swished back and forth, even after she had finished walking. She sighed and gave the CEO a bored look. He chuckled once again and gestured to the Chinese representative.

“My dear, would you do us the honor of showing just how lethal a mage’s power can be to a human?” The woman’s large lips tucked into a smug smile. She licked her lips then reached down to her ankle.

“My pleasure,” she replied as she drew a small dagger from where it had been strapped to her ankle. She drew the sharp blade across her wrist and watched with fascination as a red liquid bubbled from the cut. The woman watched it in silence for a little bit then waved her other hand above the bleeding cut. Suddenly, the blood froze in place. The woman rose her hand and the blood followed, weaving through the air eagerly after her fingers. There was a tense air in the security council as she performed this trick. The woman watched her blood with a child-like amusement, until something in her eyes changed, the spark of a sadist. The blood froze and began to tremble. It broke from the woman’s arm and grew, changing shape into a blood sword. The woman’s wound sealed back over, the sword grasped tightly in her right hand. She spun and swung the sword towards a desk, the weapon breaking open the wood as if it were nothing. The woman smiled and looked at the CEO. Her smile faltered at his gaze; it was not enough.

The woman dropped the blade of blood, the sword deforming and splattering all over the floor. She extended her hand out in front of her, the palm of her hand facing the Chinese delegate. Her eyes turned a brilliant shade of crimson as the man in front of her suddenly froze, then, as she twisted her hand, he moved like a puppet on strings. He raised his hands in the air, waved, then dropped them. The other representatives watched in amazement as he began to perform a dance for the group, Gangnam Style to be exact. There were even a few snickers from the less professional delegates. The CEO noticed this show was definitely getting attention and waved his hand to the woman. Her eyes returned to their normal blue and she lowered her hand. The Chinese delegate collapsed against his table and grit his teeth, shaking from exhaustion. Yet, the CEO could tell not everyone was on board yet. He waved his hand in the air and signaled for the next member to begin his show.

After doing a head count and noticing a few mages were missing Arian scoffed. “Why are there people missing when we have a serious matter to discuss?” While holding his nose to calm himself, he started to address who was there, “I am sure everyone knows why we are here,” he started saying pausing to glare at Araxie for a second before continuing. “They have the blocker as well as Mage tissue and blood samples. From what I have observed, they are implanting these samples into humans.”

Araxie looked appalled at the suggestion. She had heard of mortals doing something of this scale if it was to save their own, but solely because they were able to do it? That was downright disgusting! “Yes, it seems this process also gifts the subjects some of the abilities of the Mage the sample belonged to,” Arian said upon seeing Araxie’s disgust. He scanned over the small group again, then added, “I believe they mean to either capture us and experiment on us, or worse, exterminate us.” Arian slid his gaze to the nearby Fate Mage, but the African American man gave no indication of his thoughts on the statement. Typical. Arian lifted his hand into the air and spoke, “I see it best that we deal with this threat swiftly, show the world we mean them no harm and we are not their enemies. And I suggest we do so by offering them a gift, a subject, if you will, for them to see that we show no tolerance for disobedience either. On top of this, our revealing is of the highest offenses, and such an ordeal requires a punishment.”

Araxie stiffened in her chair, knowing exactly what was coming next. Arian wanted her to be the gift to the humans, to show the humans that the mages had no tolerance for mistakes. Arian smiled a little, realizing Araxie knew what he was to say next.

“I believe we send Araxie as a peace offering.”
