Prelude to New Conflict

“I can’t believe that humanity can even build such grandeur buildings and roads.”
A woman's soft voice reverberated throughout the carriage that they have been riding. It was Princess Eleatear Cryo Nebulae of Sovereignty. She peeked at the windows of her carriage only to meet with alien architecture not known to this world.
Even though they were sealed a thousand years ago. They were still able to see the development of humanity but this a peculiar phenomenon to them.
This country from an uncharted island that emerged between 600 to 500 years ago was uninhabited. No one was living here since no one dares to sail on a perilous journey.
Their sailing ships can’t fight off sea monsters, rough waves, unpredictable weather, and so on.
Bound to the Hawaiian Naval Base. They were still at their biggest ship like an aircraft carrier.
It looked alien and weird compared to the modern aircraft carrier because the ship that is sailing was a city!
There was this town built in the big wooden ships. With all of that weight, it is guaranteed that it will drown but something mysterious is keeping it afloat.
Everyone on the base is giving them this odd look. A carriage strode valiantly on top of the ship and to the wooden bridge connected to the dock.
A majestic carriage sculpture in gold and embellished with extravagant art and golds. There’s no mistaking it.
This is the guest from another country that emerged last two weeks.
“They have interesting warships just like the sirens from 2000 years ago.” A woman in her cloak, concealing its identity spoke.
“They look charming and majestic. The design, Ugh!”
“Your Majesty?”
“I’m sorry.”
Eleatear said and picked something from beside. It was a box but it’s not an ordinary box. Its ancient carving can tell that it was something dated from millennia.
“We will use this weapon to our advantage,” Eleatear said with a menacing smile.
“The Siren? I believed they were invaders from another world that rules the sea 2,000 years ago?”
“That’s right, and now we have them and can order them at our will.”
She let out another menacing smile and opened the box. Inside was a pitch-black cube emanating dark energy.
“You’ve summoned me, Your Majesty?” A computer-like voice sounded from the box.
“Yes, I have a job for you. And I believe that you will like it.” She said.
“Then place your hand over me so that I can see what is this “gift” you’ve spoken of days later.”
With her instruction, she places her hand over the black cube and suddenly a woman seems to get out of the cube-like it was sealed.
But it was not an ordinary female. One can tell that by looking at their appearances. Their body seems like a robot and behind them was a miniature cannon hanging like a belt.
“You have to hide that thing so that you can party in their naval base.”
With Eleatear suggestion, the miniature cannon from her back began to turn pixelated and a moment later, disappeared.
“So, why did you summon me, your majesty?”
“Look at the window. What can you tell about their ships? Siren.”
She was called “Siren” but it was not her name. Anyways she turned her head to the window peeking at it. Then saw many “Warships”. Seeing that, her eyes open wides and saliva drools from her mouth.
“All I can tell is that their cannon is small and there is not much of an armament.” She said, “Is this the ship that destroyed your ships that has a magical cannon? What a shame.”
“Well, they have weapons inside of their ships unknown to us. So, understandably we lost that battle. For now, we want to know more about the structure of this country as well as its weaknesses and strengths. From what I can tell, there is no magic coming from their technologies.”
“So? Are you going to attack this human nation?” The Siren asked.
“Of course, even if their technology advances, those ants can’t still recognize the power difference. We have magic and they have none. They shall repent their sins for attacking those innocent witches!”
“I see, then let the Siren help you claim that vengeance.”
While talking casually, ever since the siren was introduced to the ships her attention seems glued to it. She is trying to understand the concept of their ships but can’t have a definite answer. She needs to go inside to investigate. And also, she needs to know the capabilities of the ships. How strong are the ships, how durable is it, the speed? Everything she needs to learn in order to orchestrate a plan on defeating this country’s navy.
In fact, Sovereignty is indeed decisive and serious in taking this country out. But if they were to attack blindly on their enemies without knowing their capabilities is suicide and reckless.
The carriage stopped and three girls wearing exquisite dresses carved with gold linings walked flamboyantly on the asphalt-paved road.
Then one man from the human nation approached them and bowed politely. The three were taken aback by his handsome face and manly features. This man is the commander of the second carrier strike group. The Captain of the Nimitz Class Aircraft Carrier.
Captain Craig Nimitz.
Wearing his usual white service uniform he removed his hat and genuflected.
“Greetings, Princess of the Sovereignty, my name is Craig Nimitz, commander of the second carrier strike group. I’ll be escorting you to our headquarters where you will be accommodated in our utmost hospitality.”
“How noble! Humans are not that bad after all. Craig Nimitz, It seems that I’ve taken a quite liking to you.” Eleatear chuckled and parted her lips.
“So you’re the commander? You look young.” Siren said, “Most of the commanders of the Sovereignty are fragile old men and to add their facial features. They are ugly. But you, your manly voice, your beautiful carved face, your body. I will be glad to have you as my slave.”
“I’m sorry. But I’m taken.”
He rejected me.
Now, it all starts here.
