Chapter 299 Echoes of Old Will & Rise of the Pactum Perfectors
Echo of Ancient Will & The Awakening of the Pactum Completers
Secret Location — Council Chamber of Pax Arcanum, Atlantis
The Night After the Elysvarre Session
Deep beneath the magical towers of Atlantis, there lies a chamber not documented in any archive, shrouded in mystery and layered with a captivating history full of intrigue that dates back centuries.
Council of Pax Arcanum.
A large stone circle with a floor made of black obsidian that absorbs light creates an oppressive and grim atmosphere. Seven chairs are arranged in a circle around it, devoid of royal emblems or family insignias, symbolizing inclusivity in the decisions to be made regarding the Pactum. The only symbol in the center of the floor draws attention:
Pactum Primae Voluntatis — The Law of the First Will.
In the main seat, Senator Kaeso Vallaricus sits cloaked in dark fabric, his face serious. Beside him stand figures with faces hidden behind expressionless white masks. For a moment, the obsidian floor sparkles in the dim light of lanterns, creating mysterious silhouettes that add weight to the atmosphere. Kaeso takes a deep breath, as if burdened by the weight of the decision that rests upon his steadfast shoulders.
The Completers of Pactum.
Kaeso opens the session. His voice is deep, yet devoid of emotion.
"Fitran Fate and Sheena Valtheris Elyndra have drafted a new will that fundamentally alters the meaning of the inherited curse and the existing Pactum. Boldly, they have rejected the long-standing Alliance and explored unexpected possibilities."
