A lush, verdant clearing within the ancient forest was marked by a circle of stones engraved with symbols representing the four dynasties: red, white, black, and brown. Towering trees form a natural canopy, filtering sunlight into soft, dappled patterns on the ground. The air is alive with the whispered songs of birds, the gentle rustle of leaves, and the distant murmur of the waterfall.
Elders from each of the four dynasties, each wearing robes and adornments that symbolize their culture,. The Guardian and the apprentice observe from the side; their presence is a bridge between the ancient and the new

Elder of Red: “We gather at the dawn of the Age of Wonder, yet our hearts are clouded by old grievances. How can we look to the future when the past weighs us down?”
Elder of White: “The past cannot be undone, but we can forge a new path. Our disagreements have kept us apart, yet the promise of discovery and enlightenment beckons us to unite.”
Elder of Black: “Our traditions are diverse, and our paths to wisdom are varied. Yet, is it not this very diversity that can enrich us all? We stand to gain more from sharing than from withholding.”
Elder of Brown: “Indeed, but how do we ensure that no single dynasty dominates this new era? The balance of power must be preserved to foster genuine collaboration.”
The Guardian, stepping forward: “Let us propose a council, one where each dynasty is equally represented. Together, you can oversee the sharing of knowledge, resolve disputes, and guide us into the Age of Wonder.”
Apprentice: “And what of the people? They, too, should have a voice in this new world. Perhaps emissaries from each dynasty could form a coalition, not just of elders but of the young, the innovators, the dreamers.”
Elder of White, nodding: “A council that listens, one that is guided by the wisdom of the ages and the fresh perspectives of the new generation. This could be our foundation for peace.”
Elder of Black: “We must also commit to a pact of non-aggression. Our quest for knowledge must not lead to conflict. Instead, let us compete in generosity and advancements for the common good.”
Elder of Red: “And let us not forget the guidance of the nine goddesses of wisdom. Their divine insight will ensure we remain true to our purpose.”
Elder of Brown: “Agreed. Let this clearing, where light meets the earth, be our meeting ground. Here, where the boundary between realms is thin, we shall come together, united in our diversity.”
The elders agree to form a council and a coalition of emissaries, pledging to work together for the advancement of all dynasties. They vow to meet regularly in the clearing, seeking the guidance of the goddesses and fostering a spirit of cooperation and peace.
