christopher perked up when the door opened, and his gaze softened when he saw who it was.
silver, kim, thanatos, belladonna, prism, and lenax were all there. as well as eidrasil and sinestra, and even titus and aisha were there as well.
christopher blinked and smiled. "hey." he said simply.
immediately, kim and silver rushed him like kids while belladonna and thanatos stood back and watched, belladonna with a smile and thanatos... well he was a skeleton.
titus seemed elated while aisha was staring at christopher with a burning gaze.
the twins seemed to wake up at that moment as well, and for a brief moment, christopher was buried under the affection of four of his subordinates.
"uh, hi?" he was a but stunned, not expecting such a strong reaction from them.
"master we were worried about you!" chiara whined and umbra nodded fiercely in agreement.
"you went on and fought the void for so long! eidrasil told us how you almost died on several occasions and it was her magic that was healing you! it may have been a few hours to us but to you it was days! you must have been exhausted and yet you were still doing so much by yourself." kim said angrily, but her eyes were filled with relief.
"and that's not even mentioning just how long you were constantly weaving fate to make sure things went according to plan. you were at ut for weeks without sleep!" silver also chided him.
"aw come on it wasn't that bad." christopher retorted.

christopher coughed.
"okay maybe i was a little hard on myself. but hey i'm fine now. and all i needed was some sleep." christopher said and belladonna rolled her eyes.
"you've been asleep for a week master." she said calmly and christopher nearly sputtered.
"what do you mean a week?!?!" he exclaimed and all of them sighed.
"master, the mental fatigue that was weighing down on you was immense. staying up for that long alone is a no no. not to mention that you were continuously sifting through and changing the fate of everyone, and then you immediately got into a huge battle which required intense concentration. it's a miracle you were even able to fight." eidrasil mumbled while rolling her eyes.
that's when christopher realised that he had actually been playing a very dangerous game. he vaguely recalled some of them trying to convince him to rest during his grand plan but he always just brushed their worries aside.
'that... was actually pretty stupid on my part.' he sighed. he'd been lucky.
"sorry for worrying you guys." he apologised and they all went silent before thanatos spoke. enjoy more content from empire
"it's alright master. just... please be more mindful of your health. no one here wants to see you harmed." then he lingered.
"also if you die we all die so..." belladonna hit his side not-so-subtly and he just shrugged.
"in any case. we're happy you're awake." she finished and everyone nodded.
christopher was silent for a moment, then he looked at titus and aisha and tilted his head.
"why are you guys here?" his words caused titus to stumble and aisha's mouth to twitch.
"mrs belladonna... invited us..." titus spoke like he'd been stabbed and belladonna nodded.
christopher blinked.
'well i did take him in as my disciple so i guess it makes sense. as for aisha.' christopher looked at the elven girl with some curiosity. he could clearly see the wat fate runes migrated towards her and invisible to most, there were dozens of threads all sticking to her fingertips.
'she's probably... no definitely the most proficient in fate here besides me.' he sighed and stared up for a moment.
"so what has changed since i was out?" he decided to ask and silver grinned.
"well, you can come find out."
"i'm not perfect, i'm not gonna pretend like i know everything or have all the answers. but i promise you this, i'll do everything i can to make this place the best it can be. that means listening to you lot, working with you, maybe screwing up here and there, but we'll figure it out." he smiled and looked back to eidrasil.
she smiled back and stepped forward once more. the tension in the room had eased visibly and there were still some doubtful gazes, but now there was hope mixed with them.
"alright then. first and foremost, i'll start with the structure that will be implemented starting from now on." she inhaled slightly.
"our master, naturally is the absolute ruler of this place and holds ultimate authority, however, he will not micromanage, but his words are final, especially in matters of extreme importance." everyone nodded, not surprised by such an arrangement.
"then, directly below him will be myself and my colleague sinestra and you will refer to us as the primary overseers. besides acting as master's advisers, we will also be in charge of certain aspects of the dimension." she glanced at sinestra.
"sir sinestra will be the overseer of resource distribution, territory management, and ensuring the natural balance of the realm.
"i on the other hand will be responsible for the flow and distribution of energy, life cycles, and the wellbeing of inhabitants. as well as a mediator in the case of conflict arising." it seemed surprising at first, but not really. sinestra and eidrasil were the oldest and wisest people here, so christopher thought it was only natural to put them directly below him in the leadership table.
eidrasil then went on to explain how there would be a creation of several sects each belonging to a certain group, most of these sects would be headed by the main members of christopher's cohort.
and they were as follows
silver
role: overseer of peace and order and is there to ensure order among the dimension's residents.
sect focus: order, local security
umbra and chiara
role: guardians of the dimension's defense systems and its military strength.
sect focus: combat training, defensive operations, and war strategies.
belladonna
role: overseer of bloodlines and connections, maintaining the harmony between races and monitoring internal politics.
sect focus: diplomacy, governance, and enhancement of racial attributes.
thanatos
role: overseer of transitions, ensuring balance between life and death.
sect focus: handling souls, necromancy, and dealing with void-related anomalies.
kim
role: overseer of communication and speed-based operations, ensuring swift execution of orders and rapid responses to crises.
sect focus: movement, intelligence gathering, and spatial logistics.
aisha
role: overseer of fate's influence within the dimension, guiding critical decisions and ensuring the dimension's future aligns with christopher's goals.
sect focus: predictions, fate manipulation, and safeguarding pivotal events.
the race leaders were to report to them immediately if something was an issue. and the twins being head of the military might seem unwise at first considering their age. but the two of them were surprisingly good tacticians. christopher knew this because all the times they sparred, they were always the ones that came up with the strategies. moreover during the war with the void they had been the ones to organise how the armies would arrange themselves after being taken into christopher's dimension. also they were very enthusiastic about military matters, so he made them the heads of the military.
as for aisha gaining a sect of her own, he only saw it fitting for it to exist considering how important fate was, and there was the fact that he couldn't be the one to control fate all the time. as such, he needed someone reliable, and she was a good fit.
moreover, there was still more.
