NOTICE: PERSPECTIVE SWITCH TO NYTRI
In the castle of Azuria, in the room habited by the princess. Nytri is on her bed with cat toys beside her, Kitt is also with her and the 2 are playing. Nytri giggles as Kitt tries to catch a toy, she kicks her legs in leisure on the bed watching Kitt. Nytri brings the toy before Kitt, *MEOW* he jumps to catch it but it slips from his paws.
Nytri's door opens and Paxius walks inside, he looks around and sees Nytri on her bed. Nytri's room is the highest in the castle and has a great view of the entire land, the paintings and ink by the window is proof. He walks to the bed and sits cross legged looking at her. "You seem to be having fun."
"Huh," Nytri turns and sees Paxius, "Oh, hi Paxius." He looks at Kitt who's caught the toy but it slips out of his paw, "Yep." She pets Kitt and he meows, "Who's a smart kitty? You are. You are." She rubs her nose with Kitt's.
Paxius sighs, "We need to talk." Nytri looks at him waiting. Paxius points at Kitt, "Alone."
Nytri rubs Kitt's fur, "Oh come on, he's just a sweet little kitty." Paxius grabs Kitt by his nape and Kitt looks at Paxius, "Meow?....MMEEEOOO-!!!" Paxius threw him out the window. Nytri smiles wryly, "You didn't have to go that far, he might get hurt."
Paxius shrugs, "In case you've forgotten, he's a Beast deity. Also, cat's land on their feet. I saw Kael land after he was tied up and dropped from the top of the earth."
Nytri is surprised, "Why, what did he do wrong?" Paxius is about to speak then Nytri shakes her head, "You know what, I'm better of not knowing." Nytri rolls over on the bed, "So, what's up?"
Paxius brings a letter to Nytri, "Apparently, you got invited to attend Ardentia Luminary Academy. It's an academy to study Alchemy, Artificing, Arts, Magic and Enchantment." He looks at Nytri but silence fills the room. Paxius repeats, "...….You got invited to attend Ardentia Lumi-"
"Yeah, I heard you the first time." Nytri speaks, "Do you really think I can fit in some academy?" Paxius answers bluntly, "No." Nytri speaks with exasperation, "So why would you bring this to me?!" She sits up.
"Anything to keep you outside." Paxius speaks, "You've gotten so lazy you barely take 5 steps outside your room."
"I can control space," Nytri speaks, "A step to the kitchen and another back. Why do I need more steps and I've been out plenty." She folds her arms looking away.
Paxius sighs, "Be that as it may, I still think you should go so you can make friends." Nytri turns to Paxius, "But-" Paxius raises a hand, "Having friends who can split a mountain with their tails is cool and all. But you need friends the same race as you, so they can understand what you're going through and share with them."
Nytri has a blank face looking at Paxius, "Alright father."
Paxius shudders, "Uhh, hearing you call me that gives me the chills. Anyway, the one who invited you is still around. I think he might try moving here. Anyway, you could make him your friend for a start."
Paxius swipes his hand and a screen appears before them with both reading it, Paxius swipes his hand with video footage of Ragnar moving up and down. Paxius swipes, "His name is Ragnar a Cath Sith apparently, those races barely make contact with the outside worlds. He's a demi-god and probably in his late 40s, since he recently evolved into godhood."
"Hooo," Nytri speaks, "I think old you could take him on."
"Anyway," Paxius clears his throat and speaks, "He's a member of Cathgul."
Nytri raises a brow, "What's a Cathgul?"
Paxius shakes his head, "I have no idea. I sent the Clockwork Assassins to investigate, so report should arrive shor-" *BEEP BEEP* Paxius receives a message, "Ah, right on time, a report from the Assassins."
He reads, "Cathgul Union was established by the Cath Sith kingdom and . They brought together various races like humans, elves, dwarves, greater ogres, sage orcs, dryads debesu virians(Sky people) beastkin, beastmen and others. The main purpose of the Cathgul Union is to prevent nations from being conquered and to support those struggling with issues like famine and other challenges. Nations with the backing of gods tend to do oppress nations without gods and Cathgul banded together to resist as much as possible without getting the ire of such gods. Another aim is to strengthen trade and foster loyalty among the member nations, a form of brotherhood. The elders of the Cathgul Union are primarily retired high-ranking individuals from different nations, mostly Legendary rank/Demon king/Monster king ranks with. They bring their wisdom and experiences to guide the union and its member nations. They made Ardentia Luminary Academy which for some reason has students from nations with gods. The academy had the best tutors who refused to leave so nations with gods coerced them."
Nytri folds her arms looking at the roof, "Because of the gods, I'm certain they did a lot of horrible things and the gods probably overlooked it. People with too much power tend to think the world revolves around them."
"Yeah," Paxius speaks, "It's fascinating how docile you are."
"Huh," Nytri glares at Paxius, "I gain nothing from making others miserable, neither do I enjoy killing or afflicting others. Only idiots who come to me looking for trouble do I make them miserable." Nytri recalls a certain god and something strange happens. A small rift opens before Nytri and cries of despair come from the rift. A soul comes out of the rift with red branches sticking out of its body. Nytri looks at the soul, "I forgot about these guys." Nytri moves her hand to grasp the soul.
The soul begs in desperation, "Please no! LET ME GO! I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY! NO! NO! NO!!!!" The soul is sucked back into the rift and it's sealed.
Paxius tilts his head, "I don't recall that one, what did she do?"
"Oh, yeah." Nytri looks at Paxius, "The mother of that bastard, I forgot his name…..Zaleh or something."
Paxius recalls, "Oh right, the god that attacked up...I still can't recall his name. Meh, he'll probably never make it out. You should meet Ragnar and have a word with him."
Nytri lies on the bed kicking it, "But I don't want to go to school!"
Paxius chuckles then glances at Nytri's paintings, "Going to school will definitely introduce you to new places for you to paint. You enjoy the beauty of nature, right?" Nytri nods and Paxius continuous, "You won't see that beauty if you're couped up in your room."
Nytri sighs, "I guess you're right. I'll meet Ragnar afterwards I'll go to school." Paxius smiles, "Good girl." He gets up and walks to the door then Nytri speaks, "Oh yeah, how are the post war efforts going?"
Paxius turns around, "Smoothly though some have delayed payments. I intend on giving them time to gather and not force them, we don't even need their money." He observes Nytri seeing her in thought, "You shouldn't concern yourself with such matters."
Nytri sighs, "I know, but Ivan gave me this letter." Nytri's storage space opens and a letter falls in her hand, it's a letter from the queen of Falshurx.
Paxius reads the letter, "So the queen pleads to you to give them more time." Paxius crumbles the paper, "To think they attack us and try to use you, how shameless can they be? Sparing them was indeed wrong."
Nytri chuckles, "Hold on, there's no need to be that agitated. We use those methods in the Monster Realm so we have to do things differently here. Besides, killing them all will bring nothing."
Paxius sighs, "So I give them more time?" Nytri nods and Paxius shrugs, "Whatever, I'll send a notice to them to pay in installments."
"How about," Nytri speaks, "We pay them a visit?"
"You want to visit them?" Paxius asks with uncertainty, "Why?"
Nytri smiles, "I just want to see those nations and what made them so arrogant. By now, all the gods in those nations have probably left the continent so it'll be like a museum tour."
Paxius turns around walking to the door, "You do you I suppose. I'll let you know when it's time to go." He exits the room and Nytri lies back down on her bed.
Then a certain cat crawls in through the window and hisses looking around the room. Kitt relaxes after not seeing Paxius in the room, he sees Nytri lying on her bed. Kitt jumps onto Nytri belly and she giggles, he curls himself up and lies on her. Nytri pets him and he purrs
[AU:INFO
- Races: Greater Orges, Sage Orcs are some of the races that possess great intelligence and have been added to Humanity but genetically aren't humans.
- Beastkin: Humans with beast features. Genetically human but mutants. Caused from large exposure to EP/Mana/Energy and injecting blood of animals either through eating or medical means.
- Beastmen: Beasts with human features. Genetically animals but some guys just had to.... So they have human genes mixed with them.
- Debesu Virians: Wanted a name for people with wings different from harpies so came up with this. Sky people who live on high mountains.
- Greater Orgres: Intelligent ogre and rare. Evolved form of ogre so different from Wild Ogres.
- Sage Orcs: Orcs that gain a concept of self after evolving or trained to acquire self. Mostly mages since warrior orcs tend to be more blood thirsty. But luckily they don't devolve.
- Zalel = Zareth: A god of war who initially wanted to have Nytri but Nytri managed to escape to the Monster realm.
- Strange Rift: The rift leads to a Dimensional prison Nytri made but as long as Nytri doesn't remember it no one can escape. If I recall, the dimension has a tree at the center with its fruits being the heads of such people. The veins and vines of the tree penetrates the prisoners putting them in extreme SOUL PAIN then forces them into an illusion with their awareness of all the times Nytri dealt with them before putting them her just so Nytri's Passive skill TERROR can crush their souls over and over and over and over. Nytri created that dimension as a prison on a whim but the tree actually kept evolving and has somehow gained control on death. Also time dilation is a factor so in that dimension, about 4,000 years have already passed.
