388 Fire and Blood While the Asuran Cabal, and the Ennead Theocracy began their attempts to make contact with the two halves of the Elven race, more specifically their emissaries. Erich was sitting in a three way call with Daelia and Lunaria. The two women seemed to be at the very least restraining their urge to talk over one another which was good thing from Erich's perspective. Erich had been thinking about a particular issue for a very long time. And had long since continued in the efforts of…-

The Svartalfheim Dominion's sudden change in allegiance, from being a primary supporter of the Ghimderi Banking Clans and Trade Princes, to wholly pledging itself to Elven Reunification, and its newfound alliance with the Germanic Star-Empire was a shocking and honestly destabilizing declaration. As if the declaration of the Germanic Star-Empire being a major galactic power, and its newfound alliance with the Alfheim Dominion wasn't groundbreaking enough, the prospect of the eons old conflict…

News quickly spread across the galaxy. After all, all of Lunaria's direct vassals had been there to witness the event. Not only did the Alfheim Dominion's Empress join the Supreme Leader of the Germanic Star-Empire in holy matrimony. But so did the ancient Shadow Queen of the Svartalfheim Federation. For most citizens, who were unaware of Daelia's identity, as the woman had long since hidden herself in the shadows. This was not a shocking thing. Hell, even the majority of Sub-Galactic leaders did…

Erich was the kind of man who absolutely would not let his plans fail. And with Lunaria, her hatred for Daelia outweighed her fear of Tia. After all, she had been the one to put down the AI menace which once ravaged the galaxy and brought forth the end of the Primordial Era. If she could do it once, then why couldn't she do it again? Of course, that was neglecting to mention that the sacrifices of the early Dark Elves had indeed been invaluable in that rogue AI's destruction. But Lunaria was far too…

A holographic projection appeared seemingly out of nowhere, as Tia rather angrily confronted Erich about his plans to marry Daelia in addition to Lunaria. After all, he had neglected to mention this in his plans for galactic domination. Not only was the advanced artifcial intelligence upset over Erich's neglectful mention of this matter from a practical standpoint, but she was also deeply opposed to it from an emotional standpoint as well. "Master... You really need to stop picking up random women…

Daelia stared in shock at Erich as he asked her a question she never thought she would hear from the man. There were a million reasons why marrying Erich was a bad idea. But after reviewing the evidence of the threat which loomed beyond the borders of the milky way galaxy, there was at least one really good reason to do so. Still, Erich was already set to marry Lunaria. Perhaps if this was the case she would consider his offer, after all the Germanic Star-Empire was a rising star on the galactic…

Erich had spent hours conveying to Daelia that which he had already told Lunaria years ago. He had even provided the evidence that Mirage and her secret agency had gathered. The fact of the matter was that with Tia's help, extra galactic travel was entirely possible. Meaning that the GSE had been busy these last few years sending recon probes into Andromeda. They had, in this time, learned a lot about the whereabouts of the Naraku. In fact, the Naraku behaved vastly differently in Andromeda than…

Erich had one chance encounter with Daelia before she was shipped off back to her people. The woman was traumatized. After all, she had sat in the cell of a foreign nation which she was an adversary of. One which she looked down upon. Yet they had detected her almost immediately, and compelled her to spill her secrets. In fact, Erich did not tell Lunaria this, but he learned quite a bit about the ancient Elven Empire, and the schism which destroyed it, at least from Daelia's perspective. He, of…

Erich was surprised by Lunaria's reaction to his gift to her. After all, he was expecting the woman to behave sadistically towards her sister. As he knew the woman quite well, better than practically anyone besides herself. Two lifetimes together had given him this level of intimacy with the woman. But for her to suddenly chastise him as if he were a child, he knew he had done something seriously wrong. He just couldn't fathom what. Because of this, he was quick to ask Lunaria what exactly was wrong…

The relative balance of power that had existed for eons was suddenly thrown into disarray over night. The Germanic Star-Empire had suddenly revealed itself to be a Galactic Power, while the Alfheim Dominion announced a long-term military and economic alliance with the GSE, one which was sealed with matrimony between the Alfheim Empress, and the Supreme Leader of the Germanic Star-Empire. To everyone outside of Lunaria, Erich, and Celestia, this was considered a wild and unexpected chain of events.…
