Florian grinned and flicked his fingers towards Alex's head, the lily turning into a small flower circlet of Lily's. Alex smiled.
"I was wondering, do you have any Orchids?" He questioned, Florian raised an eyebrow.
"Blue or white?"
Alex thought for a moment as they say at the small dining table in his kitchen, servers bustling around making pastries and dinners.
"White, for peace" Alex replied, Florian smiled with a knowing look.
Florian waved his hand in a small circle and a pure white orchid appeared, he handed it to Alex, their knuckles brushing.
Alex smiled "thanks mate"
Florian nodded his curls bouncing around his shoulders except for one side which was pinned back elegantly.
"Is it for Void?"
Alex flinched "how did you know?" He narrowed his eyes, Florian smirked and drew circles on the wood grained table.
"It's his favorite flower, plus you guys got into a fight and white means peace like you said...So I just assumed it was" he said, Alex looked down at the flower in his hands with a small smile.
"Yeah… I feel really bad for the way I acted at his coronation and for the way I left when he had banned me in the first place" he said sadly, Florian rested a hand on his.
"I'm sure he'll understand… "
It was quiet for a few before Florian stood the slacks with flowers embroidered onto the fabric bunches up above his boots.
"We should head to the meeting hall." He paused as Alex stood, "it's just about time to start ending some chaos" he said linking arms with Alex.
He raised an eyebrow as Florian dragged him down the hallway by the arm, they came to a stop soon enough in front of a tapestry and Florian pulled it gently to the side revealing a soundproof door.
"After you"
Alex rolled his eyes and walked in, quickly met with 10 other faces.
They each had their own seats with their sigil on the head of their chair and Alex frowned, the amount of people and mixed vibes making him uncomfortable as he made his way to his seat.
The others paid no attention to him and if they were they were whispering gently to each other. Florian sat at the head of the table and Alex sat near Void who nodded in acknowledgement, Alex returned the nod and sat silently as he waited for the meeting to begin.
"Alright let's get started, we'll start with introductions first since Alex has been out of the loop and still needs to join the alliance. Since he already knows me, Yolanda can start" Florian said with a gentle clap of his hands, small flowers popped up on the table as a line of moss acted as a table runner.
A small petite woman stood and smiled in Alex's direction, she had long brown hair which swirled around her as she wore loose shorts and a cropped shirt, a necklace made with beaded rocks and crystals dangled around her neck and she gently bowed.
"I am Emily Blunt, Queen of The Mountain Kingdom, Yolanda. " she introduced herself with a honeyed voice, Alex nodded and she sat down gently.
A kid next to her stood.
Alex froze.
It was the kid who caught him and Dove on the verge of kissing.
He grinned with a mischievous look in his eyes, his golden hair glinting in the glow stone light.
He looked almost 12 covered in extravagant furs and coats.
"I'm Shade lorance, prince of the Ice kingdom, Jordanthime." He said, Alex avoided his eyes and looked to the next as the kid sat down.
Really a kid? In charge of a whole kingdom? What the hell…
Thila smiled and gave a small wave as his eyes skipped over her and the next people introduced himself, when it was his turn he hesitated.
He exhaled slowly and stood slowly, keeping a tight grip on his Trident as he looked around.
"I'm Alexander Dolphinnia, king of the ocean Kingdom, Oceannia" he said his voice trembling.
Florian nodded and Alex sat down, the kid kept his eyes on him.
"Now onto the matter of chaos. Since Alex you haven't been around but have great observation skills I assume you know what Sora is up to? The chaos he's been causing? " Florian looked at him with a raised eyebrow and Alex nodded.
"Alright then, we're here tonight to discuss how we stop Sora from taking over. At first glance we all thought he was charming but after he took over Flora and attempted taking over Void's kingdom we know that's not the case.
He craves power and authority.
So, all in favor of starting a revolution say aye" Florian explained, everyone replied and Flora nodded.
"Now, we need to figure out how we'll stop him. Of course there may be some casualties but we need to be as discrete as possible.
We also have the matter of a plague on our hands as well, which we will deal with after we sort out our planet of action.
Has anyone seen Sora at all in the last week or two? " Florian spoke methodically, it was interesting to see him go from carefree to strict in a matter of minutes.
Alex scowled as everyone denied seeing him at all, Alex sighed "he's in Oceannia". He mumbled, the room went quiet.
" I see… but isn't Oceannia known for being overprotective over their king? They wouldn't just let someone who was the chosen take the throne" Thila spoke up her mushroom hat shadowing her blue cropped hair.
Alex intertwined his hands together.
"They are, but Sora has a way with words. Even after he persuaded them they still are against him, I think they were just desperate for a ruler after I disappeared. If anything we can get them on our sides." Alex replied, Florian eyed him before nodding.
"We should start with the kingdoms he's placed guards in, take them out and then send the strongest to take out Sora '' The president of the jungle community said.
Emily shook her head, "Sam that's just too risky, We know how much power Sora has none of us could fight him or his guards off. Besides, Shade has been spending two months cozying up to him and he isn't planning anything good" she said with a scowl.
Sam sighed.
"What exactly is Sora planning?" Void asked, Shade frowned.
" he said something about releasing the wrath of the End upon the ones who refuse to surrender… I'm assuming he meant us and our people " Shade said, Alex tensed and he could sense Void had gone pale.
Florian raised an eyebrow.
"Something the matter?" He asked slowly.
Everyone looked at Alex and Void.
"I say we go with Sam's idea. It's logical whether you all like it or not. If he's planning to do what I think he is then we have to. " Void said, staring at his hands.
Alex stared at the rings on his fingers.
"I don't understand… we don't have anyone strong enough to fight Sora" Donaven, the president of the Taiga kingdom, said.
"Actually… that's not entirely true" Florian said, They turned to him.
"When I first arrived, I learned that Void and Alex were the first people to set foot in this dimension. I didn't believe it at first because I thought I was seeing things but they were able to look at the gods book of this realm. " Florian said, Void nudged Alex's foot.
"We're gods." Alex spoke up, the others looked to Void and Alex.
It went silent.
"Meaning if we go with Sam's plan you can send void and I to end Sora. '' Alex finished, Sam nodded slowly and Thila smiled reassuringly.
"So if you're gods then you know what Sora meant by what he said? " Shade questioned.
For a kid he was smart.
Alex and Void exchanged glances.
"Yes. When he means releasing the wrath of the end he's talking about the end realm, much like the Nether… the end realm is a pocket-like dimension which trapped our old friend.
She is just as corrupted as Sora but worse, if she gets out she can ruin everything. Everything. " Void explained.
"Alex and I barely made it out alive because of her. ``Void finished with a sad frown.
Alex sighed "not to mention she's a dragon. "
Void shot him a look and it went quiet again.
"Then we have our plans I guess… We just need to assign people to take out guards. " Florian spoke up to break the tension in the room.
"What about the plague?" Gale, queen of the nether asked.
Florian leaned back in his chair thinking for a moment.
"Well, all we know at the moment is that it's incurable. That and it's severe, it kills people off after forcing them to suffer for a week before they die. We're not sure where the cause is coming from and since it's spread throughout Theorium it's going to be difficult to pin down the source" Void explained.
"That's not the only plague going on… the ice in Jordanthime is melting, the ice is supposed to be magical meaning it shouldn't melt. '' Shade said with a scowl.
Emily frowned "he's right, our mines have been missing resources even though we have plenty in the mines a week before. Our lava has turned to obsidian as well, with no water nearby" she said sadly.

Sam sighed "our trees are dying… even the Taiga and jungle realms trees are" he said.

Florian frowned "so it seems this is more than a plague?" He questioned, Alex frowned something he remembered himself telling Ren back in ploriian popping into his mind.
"No… I think this is a curse." Alex said, his eyes narrowing as he looked around.
"Come again?"
"Back in my home dimension, my friend and I were inventors. His current project was creating a portal because he wanted to prove to people that magic isn't real. When it opened though he was proved wrong and instead sucked into it without a second thought, I jumped in after him.
That portal was not meant to be opened… meaning it's connected to these problems." Alex said.
Crickets chirped.
"So… basically this place was meant to be locked away because of a curse? And upon opening it you sprung it to action?"
Alex nodded.
Everyone frowned and Void sighed.
"I think we have the information we have, we need to get to work ASAP. Meeting Adjourned" Florian said, people nodded and met to talk in small groups.
Alex shuddered at the thought of him being the cause of all this, not only that but endorria was on the rise again.
He slipped back through the door and went to a nearby window letting the cool spring breeze brush against his skin as he stared up at the sky.
A door shut and someone stood beside him looking up at the stars as well, Alex let his head drop.
"You know… you were always my best friend" he mumbled, Void glanced down at him, his wings ruffling with a shiver from the breeze.
"I'm really sorry… for the way I acted at your coronation, the way I brought up Neptune when Dove was on the verge of death and the way I betrayed your trust of not returning and then leaving with words like venom… you couldn't help it, dove was suffering and I should've ended him there but I couldn't… and the way I acted at coronation was uncalled for, and the way I left-" his voice cracked and he choked back his tears. "I'm so sorry…" Alex said letting the tears fall and hit the windowsill.
Void stared in shock before noticing the Orchid in Alex's hand.
Void frowned.
"Was it worth it?" He paused.
"Hurting the people you love? Disappearing without a word for weeks on end? " Void questioned his voice slightly raspy as he held back the urge to cry and hold Alex tight.
Alex wiped his tears and looked outside all emotion wiped clean from his face, he was getting used to his emotions disappearing like that.
"No… it only made things worse. I didn't have any friends to talk to, Sora took over Oceannia… and now… he's trying to bring back Endorria. God, this is all my fault. If only I would've stopped Ren from opening that damn portal. " he said quietly.
Void stayed quiet before wrapping an arm around Alex and pulling him into a hug.
"I missed you," he whispered. Alex choked and buried his face into Void's shoulder.
"Will you accept my apology?" Alex questioned when he pulled away Orchid in hand, Void's lips tugged up into a smile.
"Of course… " he said taking the flower "you know me so well" he grinned, Alex rolled his eyes.
It was silent for a few and Alex chuckled.
"I'm getting married"
Void froze.
"WHAT?!"
