2 Minutes after Human radio broadcast

Luna and Celestia sit together in the latter's room, still stunned at how quickly the Humans managed to convince each other to unify. And not only that, the Speech, although amazing by human standards, was terrifying by pony ones. Promises of Conquest for those who wronged them and to rebuild the mighty Human Empire of long ago by pen and paper or sword and blood. Celestia thinks heavily on the subject, Reliving memories of the war and how much devastation it caused, hoping to avoid such a conflict with the new unified human states if possible, While luna thinks of how impressive these humans can be at times. Remembering how they usually squabble amongst each-other but unite against a common enemy faster than a unicorn can teleport.

Celestia stands up and lowers the volume on the radio, which by now has simply been broadcasting a general overview of unimportant and specific things not relevant to equestria. She turns to Luna and sighs. "I Was afraid of a day like today." Celestia states as she turns to her balcony and looks out over the equestrian landscape.

"Celestia Thou must be at most a little happy, for there will be less tragic wars waged by humans heard on the news. You always wished they would stop, and here they have." Luna says in an attempt to show her sister the better news of this unification. "Not only that but you wont have to go to a dozen different negotiations for each state, and you and i both know how ragged you look after those."

Celestia grins slightly. "Yes I suppose this is a good thing, though I wish it twas that one named Felix who was elevated to the position of Human Emperor. He seemed much more calm and collected, yet Young and Charismatic. He reminds me of myself when I was younger, Young, eager, wanting to make the world better. While King Aquila is more brash and blunt. More of a commander than a diplomat." Celestia says losing her grin.

"Yes i would prefer it to be Felix as well, Yet we cannot change what has happened and these humans have a right to make their own decisions. I Simply wish it will lead to peace and prosperity." Luna says as she gets up and walks next to her sister.

The two Watch the city below from the balcony not saying a word both wanting to enjoy the moment due to them not having much time to spend together..

Humaria, Capitol of Former Paragon Empire, Future Human Empire Capitol

Sunset, 9:00 PM.

Felix sits at his throne admiring it one last time since he will not be sitting in it anymore. Thinking over how easily most of the human states have united really spoke to him about how everybody wanted change but never had the means. Felix still hears the celebrations in the streets outside his grand palace built long ago during the old Human Empire, Heavily rebuilt but still the same building nonetheless. Felix's mind wanders, Fearing what will happen to those 2 states who refused to join in the unification, and what Aquila will do to them.

"Hmm ill have to convince him to go easy on them.." Felix mutters to nobody, knowing nobody can hear him since his nearest guards are fifty feet away at the grand doors.

Getting up from his throne, Felix starts walking to his personal Room, admiring the centuries of artwork and armor lining the hallways of this grand palace, Felix still feels joy when seeing each painting of human history. Knowing for all their blunders, humanity continues onward. Reaching his Room Felix sits at his desk after taking off his ceremonial cape and crown, and putting it on a manikin. Tuning his radio to the news network for anything interesting while relaxing for what little time he has before something else might come back up.

The radio crackles to life before getting a signal. "-And celebrations continue even at this hour as Humanity is finally united under one banner! Glad we are all alive for this momentous time in history." The Radio host states while shuffling of papers is heard. "And news not related to this unification, The World council has reported in that next meeting of world leaders will occur next year in The griffin Capital of Griffinstone. Unexpected but-" Felix eyes widen as he hears this and stops listening to the radio show, Quickly searching his small pile of unopened letters to see if there was anything about this. For he was never informed of this.

A Knock on felix's door distracts felix after he fails to find a letter on the subject. "Come in, Door is open." Felix says aloud as Aquila, New Emperor of the Humans, Walks in.

"Hello felix, I see you heard about the news as well, i over heard it on my way here when i passed a guards rest area. I am sure it is a surprise to you as it is to me." Aquila says, taking off his jacket and hanging it up on a coat rack along with his crown.

"Yes it was, those griffins, always meddling in human affairs. Their probably pushed the world congress early since they knew of our unification plans months in advance. They must want to prove they are superior or embarrass us in front of the world stage. Griffins always have egos bigger than their brains." Felix states, Not having fond memories of dealing with griffins.

"Yes and while I wish I could simply not show up much like before, I will be representing humanity now. And as much as those birds would love me to make a fuss and get hot headed, I simply cannot afford that. As you know we are at a weak time for us, The griffins know. We are still divided and i bet they would love nothing more than to strike us when were distracted building ourselves up." Aquila walks to the window in Felix's room. Staring out looking over the palace walls. "Such a beautiful city Felix. Dont you think?"

"Yes." Felix walks next to Aquila. "I Still feel in awe every time i look out. But you better get used to it, you'll be living here." Felix pats Aquila on the back before going back to his desk. Sorting out his now messy desk from his panic earlier.

"Yes I Better." Aquila states sighing under his breath, Knowing he will have the burden of making sure this new empire doesn't simply collapse in on itself before they've even started. Looking out the window he cant help but feel ironic, The most powerful Human around, Yet feeling as if hes powerless to assert humanity as a global contender. "We will have many trials ahead Felix, Unfortunately for me many will not be simply solved by a rifle shot."

"That is why you have me Aquila. I wish for this empire to succeed as much as you, but one man cannot carry an empire. We must make this empire strong before we pass on, We do not wish for this empire to repeat what Alexander the great did. An empire following the man, not the empire."

"Wise words Felix. Wise words." Aquila turns around and walks back to the door, taking one last look outside the window before leaving the room to head to his new Emperors room, Putting is Crown back on and correcting his posture like his father had taught him. Walks out the door with a neutral face, hiding the doubts and worries that lie under the mask....
