Allen nodded. "Not to worry, this place is safe."
"And I can vouch for Athena." Brahms said with certainty. "There's no one else in this room. And we know for a fact that this room is safe otherwise everything we have constantly discussed here would be moot." he said with a nod. The rest of the Council agreed. "Well then I believe we can tell Seath a bit of what is going on. Seeing as he has been chosen to be an Avatar and his a Keeper." Allen said this as he started pressing buttons on his table with his left hand. The room darkened and the dome became what seemed to be a display of sorts.
"Long ago when the Rebels where going to face Sonic something unprecedented happened. General Knuckles seemingly defected from the Empire and decided to turn against his Emperor. The reasons are not exactly known but what do we know is that he entrusted the Legacy to Shakuras, land of the Ancients and perhaps one of the only remaining places Sonic was unable to conquer along with the hometown of the Guardians Sahir. The Legacy was placed under the protection of the Keepers, people devoted to protect the Legacy at all costs and of the Ancient lineage of Lycantrux. As a safe measure the Legacy was placed on an island temple in the midst of Abyss Lake. The island was known as Angel Island and it is only reached through Shakuras."
The narrator ended the story and the dome returned to normal, the room brightened again. "Well that was a good story wasn't it?" Brahms said in his usual demeanor. "So blah blah blah we could let it remain there and hope for the best. Or we could do the sensible thing and retrieve it just to be on the safe side." Brahms looked at Seath with a twinkle in his eye. "Since wolfie boy here was chosen by an Eternal, and comes from a long line of Ancients who where none other then Keepers of said Legacy, who best then him to go retrieve the Legacy and come back in one piece before Sonic gets it. Still he shouldn't go by himself. I'm assigning you to be leader of a small unit of my choosing to accompany you in your quest."

Seath was dismissed and sent to a waiting room where he would rendezvous with the rest of the team. His task was clear: retrieve this Legacy before Sonic or any of his agents could. The sliding door opened and in went a rather big dark gray elephant. He had a strange scar on his left eye, which now had some sort of bionic implant for an eye. He was wearing a rather large Punisher Axe and a combat wardrobe that seemed taken from mythical times. From the marking on his chest plate it was evident he was from Red Tomb. Another person was a female vulpix. Her fur was yellow and seemed to be soft. She was dressed in a tight black suit with purple outlines which seemed like dragon patterns. She wore a dark purple cloak. The insignia denoted her as a member of Southern Cross. She had no visible weapons although her gloves had strange rune markings. Another was a white echidna. He was dressed in what seemed like an acolyte uniform in gray with blue runic symbols and wore purple shades at the bridge of his nose in the manner as if he where a noble man. He seemed to be more of a scholar then anything but the insignia on his uniform said otherwise marking him as a member of Night Shadows. He too and had no visible weapons. The final member was a female kangaroo. She was dressed in uniform similar to the echidna except hers was deep blue and had no runic symbols and seemed like oriental in design. Her chestnut hair was tied in two buns to her left and right side of her head ending in loose bangs that flowed from said buns. Her insgnia marked her as a member of Maud'Gib.
"Ares Thalos, Desiree Kendra,Shinzu Yan and Xian Feng." it was the same female fox from before, Kamila. She kept on talking paying no attention to Seath as she introduced the members of the unit.
"Ares here is a weapon expert. Although from Red Tomb we have been given explicit permission by Outlaw Galaxy to let him have an OG beacon to trans-planar in weapons. Unfortunately as he is not a member of OG he cannot tans-planar himself or any of you as he was giving only a limited beacon. Not surprising as OG do not trust their technology with non OG operatives, the fact alone they gave him a beacon was on Judicator Frost command." Ares had a bored expression on his face and said nothing.
"Desiree is one of our very own talented Arcanum users. She excels in wards and enchantments. Her knowledge of the Ancients will be a great deal of help in your quest. She has also studied much of the history and records and will be a great source of information and advice. She was recommended directly by Elder Lynia and is a candidate for Elder herself being a direct disciple of Lynia." The vulpix smiled brightly. Her dark wine colored hair was tied back but even then her rich curls fell over her shoulders.
"Shinzu is an Elite Dispatcher. He also has one gift that sets him apart from many Night Shadows. He has the power of an artificer capable of creating weapons and items with arcanum infused power. No doubt his abilities will come in handy given he, like all Night Shadows, has personal cloaking and psionic implants to use Ninpo." Whoever looked at Shinzu and his soft smile would never guess they where looking at one of Night Shadows Elite Dispatcher. His "hair" was tied back in cornrows ina pony tail behind with one single braid hanging out from the right side. The air he had was one of superiority. He adjusted his purple shades and said in a rich voice "Pleasure to meet you good sir."
"Xian is of the Maud'Gib. As such she has two Psionic powers and is very adept at using Psytek. She will prove invaluable as one of her branches is telepathy, the other being biokinesis. She is also a martial arts expert and aided by her biokinesis and telepathy is a force to reckon. Also her biokinesis allows her to shape shift so if you need a scout or a spy she, along with Shinzu, is your girl." Anyone looking at Xian would never believe such a petite nice looking girl could be as deadly as she really was. As Seath looked at her smiling she suddenlly blurred and Seath was suddenly looking at a mirror image of himself! It only lasted five seconds as the other Seath blurred back and became Xian again.
"Well that would be all. You will all be leaving in half an hour. Get to know yourselves as you will be spending a lot of time together. Oh and Seath you should codename your unit." With that said Kamila left the room leaving Seath in the company of these new arrivals.
"And I can vouch for Athena." Brahms said with certainty. "There's no one else in this room. And we know for a fact that this room is safe otherwise everything we have constantly discussed here would be moot." he said with a nod. The rest of the Council agreed.
