Ten balls of different flames revolved above the clouds, just beneath the immortal dais. Each flame had a different color: maroon, red, black, grey, violet, magenta, yellow, green, amber and coral blue. The maroon flame burned the most while the black burned the least. The rest burned at the same rate. They were the ten Divine Knights guarding the immortal dais.

"Our duty is to the dais." A voice arouse from the maroon flame. The voice carried no emotions whatsoever, making it difficult to know whether it cared about any consequences. "We came here today to discuss Didier Ikenga."

"Didier Ikenga? Is he making trouble again? I think we should just end him." An angry voice from the black flame said.

"I agree with Black." Another voice from the red flame spoke. "If we allow him to continue he would be too powerful to stop."

The grey flame sighed. "To kill that bastard all ten of us need to be there. Are you perhaps suggesting that we leave the dais unprotected? The admirals and the fleet admiral aren't strong enough to kill him. Even Hidaya can't pull it off."

"Then tell us what we are supposed to do." The coral blue flame snapped. "We can't just leave a rogue Dragonelf who has the Secret of Life."

"I am suggesting that we get help from the Sky City. It is just a one time thing, surely, the Eternal Palace can't refuse. We share a common interest." The grey flame said.

"That maybe an option but Ikenga isn't our only concern, there's Bihanzin. He used the recent war just to test his strength. We can't be calling for help whenever a strong opponent appears on the lower plane." The maroon flame explained.

The discussion continued for several minutes until the green flame suggested something that they all agreed.

He said, "Ikenga and Bihanzin both need something the other can't give. They are bound to fight each other sooner or later. Let them kill each other and we will kill the last one standing."

The flames dimmed, which was apparently the equivalent of nodding, and the meeting was concluded.
