Lovell opened the tents opening to see everyone waiting. Lau stared at him as Lovell made his way beside his friends. Luna stood on the far side from him as she peered over at Lovell. He awaited Lau to dismiss the guardians before talking. Lau turned to his guardians and nodded at them. They bowed before leaving them alone.
Zero turned to Lovell, as he shifted to one leg. "Where did you run off to this morning?"
Lovell closed his eyes as he could feel that the question was on everyone's mind. "Ark asked to see me about some matters, and that's all." Zero huffed as he sat down. Lovell opened his eye to stare at Lau. "Now, why is it you called use here, Lau?"
Lua smiled as he pulled out a book. "Zephyr here told me why you are here and knew you wanted to catch up before hearing what I might want to say?"
Zephyr bowed at Lau, "I thank you for hearing my request since Lovell was busy yesterday."
"It's far alright, besides I knew Lovell was here for something not just tagging along with Ark."
Lovell blushed as he rubbed his head in embracement, "To be honest, I probably would have remembered after we had left." Everyone glared at Lovell; he was stunned that they never suspected it. "What you think I can remember everything I say to a T?"
Lau coughed as he regains their attention. "Anyway, I think a history lesson is in order?" Everyone nodded as they watched him open the old book. Dust flying as the cover hit the table. Clearing his throat once more be for beginning
*In the times of beginnings, the land was barren and lost as the king had come and fallen amongst the citizens of the world. Though Kings had risen and fallen, many never lasted more than a decade or less. Law and order never rose until one man stood amongst the men. He gave his people laws to follow so they could survive. His people thanked him by asking the gods to immortalize him for all eternity. The gods heard their plea as they went to see the young king. *
*the gods found the man talking to an elf and asked him what was he doing? The man smiled as he told them that he was seeing the first true kings like himself and gather them before all the gods. The gods were puzzled by what he said. So, they followed the man from above to see what he is trying to achieve. The Human king met with the true elf king and asked him to come with him for a plan for all to benefit. The elf asked him to tell him his plan, and the human whispered in his ear for the gods not to hear his ideas ahead of his plans. The elf nodded as they journeyed to the animilian true king, asking him the same thing. The animilian thought on it and said she would join them if she had some say. The Human king smiled as he whispered his plan to her. She smiled as they left, leaving to the beastfolk, their king asks for a test of strength as the human king agreed to his terms. Fighting the king in a test of strength. *
*The beastman king won but saw that the human was laughing. The beastman ask why he was smiling. The human said I may have lost the fight but not fun if fighting someone stronger than me. The beastman king laughed with him as he decided to join him without question. The three then made their way to the daemons. They asked to play a game before hearing them out. The elf went first but lost, and the beastman and the animilian did too. The human said he would play saying if he lost, he would talk to the king, and if he won, he would leave. The daemon thought nothing of it as he knew he would win, blinded by what the human king said—*
Lance interrupted Lau, "Wait, I don't get this. What is the point of this?"
Lovell hit him, "This is how Lau works, so just listen, there has to be something about this story we can learn from or gain information on?"
Lance rubbed his head as Lau smiled. "Well, yes, and it might be worth more as well?" As he readied himself once more, before continuing.
*The daemon thought nothing of it as he knew he would win, blinded by what the human king had said to him. *
*The daemon won laughing in his bolster as the human smiled at him. The daemon then realized what the human said earlier. The daemon was overconfident in his abilities. He never thought he would be outsmarted, the daemon introduces himself as the king and asks what his purpose was. The human king whispered to him the plan, and he smiled to say that he'll join. *
*the five made their way to a mountain where the Dracoman king resided. At the bottom, a young female dracoling stood; she told them if they want to see their king, they would have to climb to the top. They looked at each other as they looked at the tall mountain. The human laughed and said that it would seem impossible if the mountain was not a dragon? The woman was shocked as she looked at the man. She asked how he would know? The human smiled, saying that he grew up w near the area and saw a dragon land here when he was a boy. The dracoman smiled at him as she looked at the sleeping dragon, she said that is their king, she spoke in their language as he woke and changed into a more human-like form, walking up to them. *
*The dracoman king asked what they wanted as the Human king whispered to him his plan. The dracoman looked at the human, saying that it might be hard because of the theyans have no king? *
*They felt defeated when the human said well there is, he runs a kingdom with all of our people as his citizens and he is like all of us when it comes to his people. The dracoman was skeptic. As he agreed to follow him. They made their way to a beautiful city, the streets filled with every race chatting and conversing; they could see they were happy, each one thinks on how they could improve their peoples' overall happiness when they returned. As they reached the castle, the theyan ruler met with them giving his name to them before inviting them in. *
*The human king asked him if he would be their seventh king even though he ruled overall. The theyan nodded and asked if I am right. You want to establish national laws with the kings and gods involved, but only the kings that give their people the most for their people before you searched them out. The human king was shocked at the theyan king's knowledge. He asked how he knew. The king smiled. The gods came to me saying what your people asked and that you were gathering kings that gave their people happiness over fear and famine. *
*The human smiled as he looked at the theyan, I guess you will join us then? The theyan smiled. I already came up with a name for our little group, the racial crowns. *
Lau paused as he turned to Lovell; Luna pondered in words before asking him, "Lau, what are the racial crowns?"
Lau smiled as he looked at the book. "Well, the last pages of that are missing but, they are also known as high kings or the seven crowns. those first true kings played a part in our abilities, in what magic we can use and what benefits we all get, as well as setting the world laws that can never be overridden or altered."
Lovell crossed his arm, "Why is this important? It sounds more to me. They're nothing but a legend?"
Lau pointed at Lovell, "And yet the theyan king is your ancestor."
Lovell froze as he stared at Lau, "Wait, you mean that I'm one of these kings? What about Fang then?"
Lau turned to Fang, he too questioning the same thing, "Well, the crown's power only passes to one and Fang never inherited it." Lau turned to look at Lovell, "Besides the kings are born with a mark saying to the world they are the high kings. The Krisnik last name didn't exist till six million years ago, and I've been the world library to find out for myself."
Lovell glanced over to Fang, as the others stared at him. "So, our family never had a last name until…?"
Lau closed his eyes as he laced his fingers, "about ten years before lord Damora came into being, but I could not find anything about why your family and lord Damora have conflicted. It seems that some other power that's not the gods is keeping it from the world for some reason."
Lovell went to ponder on it, but the sound of battle caught their attention as they all ran out to see a dragon attacking and the undead charging at the warriors as they try to push them back. Ark came running up as Lau, "Lau sir, Azoth is striking from the far side!"
