Weimar

“What are the news from the front?” Weidric asked as he looked the messengers before him.
“Milord, we have news of these elves being pushed out of the farming lands and further towards the forests. Knight-Commander Heliinger requests permission to break off the main army and cut the elves off their escape route. He also requests that his army to consists mainly of knights and similar quick mobile units.”
“Granted,” Weidric said and then waved the messenger away and looked at the other.
“Three witches have been caught near Bechafen. The Arch Bishop has alredy given the order to have them publically executed.”
“Very well, next.”
“Milord…There has been spotted a beam of light pierce through the skies. What it truly was, we do not know.”
“If we do not know what it is, or have any prophecies for how to react to this, then no course of action shall be taken, now if that is all for today-”

The doors were opened and the Captain of the Imperial Guard entered, “My Emperor, a messenger have arrived from the Divinity, the…Creature says it will only speak before you, milord.”
Weidric was surprised at this but nodded, as he knew that the power of the Divinity was greater than his own and thus he needed to be careful for his actions against the nation, “Bring it before me.” The politics between the Empire of the Imperial Statesmen and the Divinity was somewhat cold. The Imperial Statesmen believed that their nation would be the one that would unite humanity into a single nation but the Divinity was an existing proof that it didn’t have to be like that, which was why the Church of the Empire condemned the Divinity for its existence. Weidric was aware that there hadn’t been any real wars between the two nations for almost two centuries but he didn’t wish to test the political tension.

The Captain stood aside and allowed the fairy to enter. On either side of the creature there stood a Royal Guard with a crossbow pointed at it, ready to fire at the least sign of trouble. The fairy wasn’t allowed any closer than fifteen meters of the throne. “Lord Waa asks an audience with Emperor Weidric von Krubber in two days in the capital of the Divinity.”
All eyes went to the Emperor. Once again the pressure of being the Emperor fell upon Weidric, no he had to make a decision, was he to negotiate with the natural enemy of the Empire or was he to risk a war after all these years of peace and tension. Despite the pressure, however, Weidric didn’t as much as a sweat. He valued his options, “Listen here, I will attend however, I will arrive along with my closest adviser, the Arch Bishop, Gunthar Klaus, now go,” Weidric ordered and the fairy was escorted, whether it wanted to or not, out of the room.

Holy damnation, now I have to sit face to face with the leader of the Divinity…Bloody Nine Hells. At least Gunthar will be at my side for this, if he doesn’t declare them all for heretics on first sight anyways.
"Send word to Arch Bishop Klaus. He is to accompany me to this meeting and send words to my personal bodyguards. We leave tomorrow for Athendra."
