Back at the Golden Emporium, Nytri is snacking while reading a book at the counter. Her eyes glow for a moment and she sighs, "Maybe things went out of hand….Then again, they started the war." She gets up from the counter walking towards the entrance, "It makes me wonder if my kin can fit into this world."
Zitile is behind an isle stocking up, "You worry too much." She gets up and turns to Nytri, "This little display just deterred the other nations from stepping on our toes." She walks towards the next isle, "Honestly, I think we should kill em all. Those who instigated the war are probably the ones who stayed back." Zitile walks away to continue stocking up.
Nytri thinks over her words, "She's not wrong, and we're not responsible for their deaths. We just defended what's ours." Nytri smiles, "I'm amazed they held back. They're adapting somehow." This day in particular, all Azurian shops are closed so the place is quiet.
Nytri sits on a bench outside the shop, she stares at the clouds passing over her head.
Meanwhile, the nations who did not involve themselves in the war have gathered again with solemn expressions. Queen Sophia sighs, "It seems Azuria didn't need our help." She looks into her mirror at the king of Mirthendom, "Why did you not tell us Azuria had powerful gods to begin with?"
King of Mirthendom shakes his head, "I didn't know. I even thought they were mercenaries at first, I'd never heard of such a nation before." He slumps in his chair looking pale, he's worried about what his obsessed turned idiot son did to Nytri.
King Alserr V snots, "Why would their Princess tell them to spare them?" He's holding a glass of wine, "I was there and saw everything with my own eyes. 700,000 people sent to enslave and oppress them, they just let it go." Veins starts showing on his face, "I say conquer Falshurx and the Allies."
Queen Veronica chuckles, "I think you've had too many glasses, King Alserr. Showing mercy may have been the right choice. They even added the cost of sending my soldiers to aid them to Falshurx to pay as compensation."
Lord Barntqued, an elvish king finally speak after remaining neutral. "Isn't it odd how powerful the Azurians are? Each went to a city of Falshurx and Allies and suppressed them in mere moments like gods. There's no way Azuria has that many gods backing them, right?"
King Qautshen, face unknown, "I speak with my gods. They follow the goddess of fate. They strictly warned me to not get involved with Azuria."
"Oh," Duke Roland speaks, "What did they say about Azuria?"
King Qautshen remains silent for a while then he speaks, "Azuria delights in slaughtering gods." His words shock everyone.
Lord Stonwer, dwarf chieftain, "Haa? Are you saying Azuria has weapons to kill gods? Preposterous!"
Queen Veronica muses, "That would make a lot of sense." All the rulers look at her with, "Huh?" Queen Veronica continues, "I sent an emissary to Azuria to send our warm regards. He said he saw an Azurian lift a Serpent Emperor off the ground, the monster was supposedly 80 meters long and 2 meters wide."
King Alserr drops his glass with his eyes opening wide, "That's impossible." He looks shocked, "A monster that size can threaten an entire city and even bring it down. Are certain about this? They must have used some artifact or something!"
Duke Finland speaks though his mirror shows blue skin, probably an ice elf or mountain elf. "That confirms what we know. I sent spies into Azuria and they are keeping monsters as pets. What's shocking is, monster emperors are trembling even around the little children and are very obedient."
King of Mirthendom buries his face in his hands murmuring, "What have I gotten myself into?" One person laughs out loud surprising everyone. Queen Veronica speaks, "Is there something we failed to notice, lord Ragnar?"
King Quatshen recalls something about Lord Ragnar, "Ragnar, you have become a demi-god recently, have you not? Is there something you know about this?"
King Ragnar a Cath Sith chuckles, "Truly amusing! Friends, how about we invite Azuria to join Cathgul? This will be very interesting." The rulers murmur among themselves to come to a conclusion, "I think I'll invite the princess to Sapphire Luminary Academy. I'd like to see what kind of people Azuria really is." He grins.
The rulers come to a conclusion. Queen Veronica speaks. "I believe that is a sound idea. Having the princess in our academy will foster amicable relationship between our nations and add a powerful ally to our forces. With strength like this, I believe we won't have to fear the demons anymore." The rulers agree to this, they discuss more on other matters and their meeting comes to a close.
NOTICE: PERSPECTIVE SWITCH TO RAGNAR
Ragnar, king of the Cath Sith. Cath Sith a hidden race of warriors with mystic abilities. There are humans with cat ears, paws and tail. This race of humans are survivors from 10,000s of years ago and have been working hard towards a disaster few of humanity's races know of. Ragnar became a demi-god though a fluke. He's a great king and champion who stood defending his people against a demon invasion. That moment, his people believed in him and he evolved into a god. But they do not know the actual reason.
King Ragnar walks out of a room with many mirrors behind him, other Cath Sith maids bow as he passes. He walks towards a garden and his city comes into view. After the demon invasion, he relocated his nation to the side of a cliff like canton. The Cath Sith live in the Canyon walls and have flourished. The city has many roads with children playing in the streets and the sun shining into the city. A waterfall is at the start of the canyon and they have even made a sweet water park where they play and have fun. This place is known as Giant's Horn Canyon. It leads to the ocean at the end of it.
King Ragnar finds a bench and sits on it, "TELEPATHY > MESSAGE TRISTAN." He casts a skill and waits. A voice speaks in his mind, "Father? You called."
"Yes," Ragnar speaks, "I have taken a liking to Azuria. I will pay them a visit and invite their princess to join the academy, will that be a problem?"
Tristan speaks, "Hmmm, normally yes but I believe I can make some adjustments. Are you inviting her because of the war? So we can restrain them?"
"Hah!" Ragnar speaks, "Even with my strength, I don't think I stand a chance against them. But if they intend on harming humanity then I will stop them. As for now, I'm more amazed that a nation like that has been surviving like ours." Ragnar looks around admiring his city.
"Do you think they know about the past civilizations?" Tristan speaks.
"I think they are one." Ragnar speaks surprising Tristan.
"Really," Tristan exclaims, "If they are, we could find out what caused those civilizations to vanish from the earth."
"Yes," Ragnar speaks, "I'll pass by for a letter of admission before going to Azuria. This is revolutionary." Ragnar grins from ear to ear and the conversation ends, "New friends often appear in times you never expect them to."
Ragnar turns to a guard, "Inform my queen, I'm visiting my son then going to Azuria." The guard salutes and Ragnar flies as he is shrouded by EP or in his words, mana.
SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS But not much though just history.
[AU:INFO
- Cath Sith: Cath Sith are survivors of an incident that happened but they found clues of a more ancient civilization that has markings and carvings of flying cars but they don't know what a car is.
- Giant's Horn Canyon: This Canyon when seen from off the earth...is the shape of Behemoth. Behemoth fell right here. On closer inspection, you'll notice footprint of some kind but this formed valleys.
- Tristan: The headmaster of Sapphire Luminary Academy. There're other academies and some of them are monopolized by certain nation factions. Falshurx and Allies also have an academy of their own and other nations too.
- Cathgul: This is a union of nations established by the Cath Sith to excavate the ancient ruins that even the most gods have no idea on. Some gods about 60% of primordial gods and devils know what happened to the earth during 'that incident' but they covered it up so it's forgotten by everyone. Cathgul also has powerful individuals with them, so if a Champion, Hero or some Demon King joining them.
- Cathgul: provides relief efforts to the nations joining and even those not part. They had no gods supporting them until Ragnar became one and the gods saw them as a nuisance but they let their people fight them instead of themselves since some don't want the gods to 'bully' them or whatever.
- There's a difference between Demons(Monstrous nowhere close to human) and Demonkin(Look human). Demonkin become Demon kings but Demons just slaughter. In the past, people confuse the 2 so Demonkin are currently ostracized. The reason some are part of Cathgul is because Ragnar saw their lives and saw no difference between them and humans, they live in societies and have the concept of family. Demons on the other hand are ravenous beasts, those capable of communicating just kill kill kill and kill.
- Anyway, the Demonkin part of Cathgul somehow warmed their ways into the union and actually gained trust. Research on races is still being conducted so more INFO will be given later.
- Don't want to add too much but Cathgul and Cath Sith are the same union and race mentioned when Nytri arrived in her castle after her 400 year long ….nap? Basically, Nytri happily handed doomsday weapons to face doomsdays. Emphasis on the 'S'.
