Chapter 14 - The Drions and Oguls

As years passed evolution continued to occur at a rapid rate. The nameless ones forest Evolved at a rapid pace due to his evolutionary waves staying stronger and denser in the areas closer to him more creatures became intelligent and started to spread out from the forest.

Like this the world steadily grew and animals, insects, and even the fish became more advanced at a staggering rate over the course of the passing years. Once ten years had passed the number of species adapting to overcome their limitations numbered in the hundreds but the more they evolved the slower the evolution they took on became. Most of these races spread out from the primary forest as the primary three such as the Rogans, Rahils and Reffuns controlled the nameless ones forest. These three had also seemingly reached a peak of their evolutions. The Rogans and the Reffuns both evolved to stand on their hind legs and started to become adept at using their forearms like the nameless one. He of course trained them to be able to do this and they could even wield basic weapons and tools like axes, polearms and we're even capable of basic construction. The language barrier still existed though but they were able to use basic communication techniques off body language and some simple grunts to understand each other. The Rahils evolved the least over this time as they had already adapted quiet a lot since their humble beginning of a half shoe sized rodent. Now they stood nearly 1.5 meters tall with powerful claws and the ability to run at speeds surpassing most other wildlife of the forest. They were excellent pack hunters and entirely loyal to the nameless one and the leader of the Rahils, Blu. Blu experienced a small alteration to the evolution of the rest of her species as she was more intelligent thanks to constant exposure to the nameless one over the years and she was on the borderline of the nameless ones speech skills and was even capable of producing some basic word sounding grunts. This made the nameless one extremely happy.

Blu also gave birth to many Rahil Cubs some of which showed excellent promise is succeeding her; especially a daughter of hers that the nameless one called Rue. Rue was an excellent Rahil and had became more then adept using the bow system he developed for them. She could hit most targets even up to 30 meters away and she even trained some Rahils on how to reload each other's bows for more repeat shots. Thanks to her the Rahils were known in the wildlife community as the undisputed number one ranking wildlife in the forest with the Rogans and the Reffuns competing for a close second and third.

Meanwhile this was not the only forest to grow powerful during these times. The Cenives also developed, but at a slightly less staggering rate. However still advancing faster then most other species. They were able to develop their own language using grunts and articulating some of the nameless ones words that Fuhit had recalled him saying. Thanks to this the cohesion of the Cenives reached new heights.

His son a challenging Cenive was difficult too keep under control and was busy planning a coupe to take over this community his father had built. This son's name was Crigil and Crigil believed his father to be weak and cowardly for losing to the nameless one so many years ago and still hesitating to take his revenge. Crigil decided he would take over this forest his father had built and then finish what his father couldn't. The complete victory of the nameless one. His father however was not naive and due to his struggles against the nameless one he was more then aware of his sons plans but decided to allow his son to continue with them as he wished his son to learn a valuable lesson that patience had it's place in warfare. Fuhit had not forgotten what the nameless one put him through but he also had scouts who would check on the status of the forest on a semi regular basis to stay up to date with what the nameless one was planning.

It was during one of these routine missions they discovered the nameless ones small army and it's excellent combat skills when members of his army was on a routine hunting mission.

Knowing what this army was capable only made him wait longer knowing if he rushed this war it would only cause him to be even farther behind at best. He continued to train his fellow Cenives and even recruited his own creatures from this forest.

One of which was a mole like species that while not overly powerful were extremely adept in creation. They could never fight a war on the forefront but the creations they brought to life could. These creatures we're called Drions by Fuhit and the Drions created Rock and mud Golems powered by steam from a fire they would build inside. The Drions had a unique trait which allowed them to use soundwaves to control the steam in these creatures and after a few battles against the Cenives over the forest Fuhit negotiated a treaty with them in order to obtain an alliance to fight against the nameless one with. He also assisted the Drions with creating more golems as the Cenives were far more powerful and easily learned how to help them build these Golems.

Each golem took weeks to make by a Drion but with the Cenives help the Drions could produce a Golem in one week as opposed to the previous minimum of three weeks. With this they produced a large army of these Rock Golems which stood nearly 2.5 meters tall, felt no pain and were powered with the steam for a period of 2 hours before they would need to refuel with the steam that they exhausted. The refueling process was simple but time consuming and the biggest drawback to these Golems was they were quite slow and too far away to be used as an attacking force.

Due to this Fuhit was constantly racking his brain on how to easily transport them to the nameless ones forest. After years of constantly looking for new ways to transport them he realized it wasn't an easy fix and may need more outside help. There was one other primary and intelligent race of this forest he had yet to subjugate or build an alliance with.

They were an insect and fishlike species who evolved to rapidly travel the river and were able to search the outside surroundings of the river for food and materials. They would commonly use the river as a fast transport being able to travel up and down river easily and thanks to this even when Fuhit had dammed the river to try and stop them they just traveled up the river bed and destroyed the dam making quick work of the guards he stationed there. The race these creatures were called by Fuhit was The Oguls and he named them these for their fearlessness and ability to travel both on land and the water rapidly.

The Oguls had a durable exoskeleton with fins and 6 narrow, long and hard legs which could move in 360 degrees to ensure rapid movement no matter what terrain they were in. They were only half a meter in height but were two meters long and had extremely sharp fangs that could even shatter boulders making them terrifying adversaries to contend against.

Fuhit knew if he could obtain their support and keep his conniving son at bay he would soon have his revenge using his own army. He thought of a strategy to obtain the Oguls help and using his son he could possibly subjugate them quicker and with less loss of life. His son after all was an intelligent Cenive he could rely on to plan excellent missions when they were not meant to cripple his leadership so he called on his son to discuss the next step.
