Felix strides into his room and locks the door behind him, and quickly walks to the desk in the room. Wanting to start writing knowing he has little time to create a perfect speech for tomorrow. Quickly finding a pen and some blank paper he begins to think about what to say and how to convince at least 51 of the various members to vote for him. Felix's thoughts are interrupted though when a knock on his door breaks his train of thought.

"Hello? Felix are you in there?" Queen Eli asks, causing a smile to form on felix's face. He quickly goes to unlock the door and lets her in.

"Yes I am here Queen Eli, Glad to see you in a room not full of bickering kings nobles." Felix says to his old friend. Closing the door behind her.

"Please just call me Eli, you know how much i dislike it when you call me by my title. Anyways I am here to help you with your speech."

"Really? I thought you would support Aquila, you always told me how great of a commander he was during you combined war against the Sarasians years ago." Felix sits back down at his desk as Eli stand next to him.

"Well yes he is a fantastic commander, I wouldn't put him at the head of the new empire, hes to brash sometimes and can get hot headed. Not one for subtlety. Popular yes but he can easily say the wrong thing and have that popularity turn against him like those riots he caused a decade ago."

Felix thinks for a moment. "I guess your right but I am not sure i will be able to convince everybody else. You have seen first hand how Aquila can rile up a crowd, he was taught by his father well in public speaking as well as warfare." Felix remembers reading about Aquila's father, a great man with ambitions to conquer the human realm, only stopped by a jealous brother when he took away his command after several failures. "Though i wouldn't say i didn't have a chance. I did convince two city states to war over each-other to weaken them before I marched in with my legions. "

"That is exactly why we need you, you have the capacity to keep our new empire afloat in the world of global politics while we are setting everything up. We cannot afford to be at war, it will drain many resources we could use for infrastructure and strengthening our economy, which will help in making us more unified instead of what the holy calradic empire was."

"I know that, but if I am to win i have to start writing. Any ideas?"

"Well.."

The Next Day..

1:00 PM Local Time

The various leaders gather around the table once more to hear and decide who will be the new Emperor. Small talks and whispers going around between each person talking about who they think will win or who they will support. The semi loud conversations all come to a halt as the main door to the room opens and the two candidates for the title of 'Emperor of the Human Empire' Walk in. Felix in his favorite red decorated officers uniform that his father wore and Aquila in his plain grey generals uniform with his signature crown. Both heading to the far side of the room where a podium has been set up and a microphone. While some reporters sit off to the side with notepads and cameras, and a few radio operators are there to broadcast the speeches to the whole empire.

Crowds of poeple are watching from the windows only being held back by an iron gate and many many guards armed with rifles. Some holding signs rooting for one man or the other while some throwing insults or wishing another man was running. either way, it was a big day for the empire, thousands wait outside the palace while millions more listen in on the radio, waiting for this to start. While a strange camera is being set up alongside the radio, presumably to record visual images.

Soon the meeting room runs quiet as the radio operators give the signal that they are on air. And Queen Eli goes up to the podeum to speak.

"Greetings all who are listening, Today you will hear two speeches from two great men. One of which will be the new Emperor of our newly unified empire. This day will be marked in history as the day Humanity once again became a great power in the world. Now without further ado, Emperor Felix wishes to speak first." Queen Eli walks off the mini stage and Felix steps up to the podeum. Looking down at a paper in his hands before clearing his throat.

"Hello to all before me and who are listening, as you all know, I am Emperor Felix...

Thirty MInutes later..

The reminiscence of Felix's Fiery speech still linger in the air, silence as even the crowd outside is stunned by his statements. Nobody says a word as his speech left them all thinking about the future, How peace and prosperity might come from their nation if he was picked, Yet as the shock of his speech dies down small talk being as Felix nods to Aquila before gathering his papers and walking off the stage and looking back at him. Aquila not having any written form of his speech as far as Felix can tell.

"Hello my fellow humans, My name is King Aquila, Descendant of the great Khan himself. As you may know..

20 Minutes later...

As Aquila finally finishes up his speech the crowd outside begins to Cheer, the men and women inside the palance stand up in applause of the amazing speech made. Aquila grins lightly as he gains back his composure after yelling out and ranting about how the other species are to blame and that he will make humanity great again and get revenge after so many years of manipulation by them. The crowd outside couldnt agree more.

Felix knows he lost even though the votes haven't even begun to become counted he can tell Aquila is the victor. He must admit though even he was inspired by the speech made by him. Perhaps he might not be a bad a choice as he first thought. Still though, Felix still worries about what he might do. Knowing a full war against the other races would only be bad news for humanity as a whole. Still Felix cant help but smile at how things are turning out.

A Chant begins to be heard from outside the palace from the crowd. Getting louder and louder as more people begin to yell the chant. A Yell of 'Long live Emperor Aquila!' Begins to ring out amongst the crowd and the soldiers guarding the palace. The Council doesnt even need to vote as the decision has been made already. As the crowd is hushed and the council quickly vote Aquila the new emperor of the 2nd Human Empire the crowd cheers a deafening cheer. And after what seems like hours they finally calm down as Aquila begins to say promises for the future.

But Soon Aquila turns to felix. "Felix please come up here with me I Have something to say."

Confused Felix steps up next to Aquila as he begins to speak. "As emperor i would like for you to be my personal Adviser as well as my main general. As you said i can become hot headed and blinded by my rage at times, and i would like for your calmness to help me deal with it as well as assist me in avoiding making rash decisions. Do you accept?" Aquila states holding his hand out to Felix.

Felix smiles and shakes Aquila's hand. "I accept, I am grateful for your offer." Felix states as photographers begin to snap photo after photo of the momentous occasion as the broadcasted radio is spread throughout the Empire, with every human listening in, As well as a white Alicorn...

Author's Note

Finally stopped being a lazy ass and wrote this story. Hopefully this didnt turn out to be too bad and boring, i hope to start the actual war part of the title soon. Also sorry for being lazy but i didnt want to actually write a speech for each of them.
