dele almost gasped at the news but he kept the same emotionless face as always.
this was terrible news to him in mauricio's absence he was responsible for the village and he didn't want it to be destroyed on his watch.
"Alex chief of the fire tribe by the way,and this is my daughter camilia" he had such a smug face that dele would have punched him if he wasn't the envoy.
"and i assume this beast is not an elemental?"
before alex can reply and infuriate him further chief kyle stepped up " thankfully he is not.apparently from what we observed he is a low ranked diabolic wolf.even though we have informed the C.D.B there's no harm doing it ourselves"
the C.D.B was an abbreviation for the central defence bureau they were the beasts that intervene in case of humans or vicious beasts attacking the noble beasts they were also responsible for anti-spying arrangements and building infrastructures.
the country in wich they lived Oceania was pretty lose in it's security because the humans will never invade here but in superpower and states near the border there was a constant state of paranoia similar to that of the cold war,currently there was no direct conflict between super states only proxy wars and only the future knew what was going to happen
dele understood what he meant in the winter everyday mattered and if a tribe got attacked by barons with no walls protecting them they will receive heavy casualties he thought to himself.
"very well it won't be that hard taking him out" dele declared to which Alex's eyes became bloodshot as he heard this "but i'll need you help" he added. as he waited for the reply he saw Luke scratching his chin's scales while Alex straight out glared at him.he didn't want to meet his gaze so his vision further drifted to a table on which lay two maps of the table.
the first map was that of Pangea ultima the supercontinent they lived on,it was torn by war . infighting between the beasts ,between the humans and various other species.where they were was the most southern you can get Australia in earth's pangea it was cold in the summer and even more cold in the winter.
north of them were earth's india and antartica these were purely beast territory and further north lay africa in which existed a great desert exactly were it was in his previous world north of that were the rain forrests in which the elfs residedand keeping with the habit of heading north were the great pangean mountains that were occupied bu titans and humanoids(like Shrek) now we go west to the former south America,it's north and north America's south were disputed areas between humans and beasts. whereas everything northwards is human territory with some powerful species they couldn't kick out . and outside pangea there was a big island nobody knew how big it was because it was unexplored many called it the island of gods since the people who got in never returned in fact this was the case for a lot of locations in pangea,this world was simply too mysterious to be entirely explored.
after he finished staring at the first map he turned his vision to the second map it was a map of the area.
the area where they were located was filled with tundra type vegetation and had only one type of tree which made the forrest largely monotonous and easy to get lost in,only with his keen dragonic senses was he able to not get lost but his village's position made it hard to get lost because of the sea that is not far away.
once he finished his observation of the maps he returned his gaze to Luke and Alex. it seemed as both Alex and Luke had made their decision.
"i'm with you sir christian, as long as you're confident in success" Kyle said to which dele simply noded,inwardly he was elated he may even be able to form an alliance with the air tribe.
he could barely keen a smile from being drawn on his lips and he vowed to himself to have the darkness aura activated when doing business or politics since he was at his coldest and most calculating then.
dele quickly turned his gaze to alex which took some time to reply "by no chance in hell i'm going to risk my life with a newby like you, when were you burn yesterday?"
"well i'm almost six years old but it seems that didn't stop me from outclassing you in nearly every aspect." after hearing this he felt that Alex was about to leap on him but he controlled himself knowing this is not his territory and stormed out.
before leaving his daughter gave dele one last look,he felt that she was apologising for her father's behavior. with this only him and kyle were left seeing this he shifted his aura to that of light knowing that he was the most cheerful in it and proposed a toast to Kyle and John "to the diabolic wolf" he said.
"before drinking mr.christian shouldn't we discuss how to face the wolf"
"mr.kyle i know what i'm doing everything has it's time and now is the time to celebrate ou partnership." after what he heard Kyle shrugged and drank the wine but internally he was struggling to believe dele was a 6 year old.
after approximately an hour of chatting and a few glasses of wine dele felt Luke was getting drunk,he himself didn't have that possibility himself because of the fast rate his body treated toxins inside his body.
knowing that he knew it was time to make an initiative "Mr.Luke what do you think of the lizardmen clan's seperation" he asked trying to test the waters. he knew he won't be sticking around for long in this village so he had what to offer as a last farewell
"What is there about to think of? it's been like this since years?" he replied a hint of sadness could be heard in his voice."what about uniting them?what do you say?"
Lyke stopped looking at once and gave him a look that he couldn't disentangle. "i and sven might agree to this but alex will never approve of this.".
"if he doen't maybe an unfortunate 'accident' will befall him " dele replied while checking his claws for anything that can be stuck in them he wanted to airquote it but this sign wasn't common in this world.
luke took a while to understand what dele meant "Sir.christian are you saying you're gonna kill the fire tribe chief ?" he questioned surprise coming from his voice
"well yes bu actually no. he will go with us to hunt the viscount tire beast either he is naturally killed by the beast or he is 'injured' just enought to leaves some last words about unifying the tribes and dies " saying this he inficized the word injured."well sorry to tell you this but Alex didn't aprove of coming." alex replied in a slightly angry tone."well that's your part of the deal,you make him come,i finish him off" after this exchange the tent become quiet for a while afterwhich Alex agreed to the plan.
when he got out of the tent he knew he had work to do someone has definitely 'overheard' them he knew where he was throught a tracking spell he usually used while hunting.
it was night by now and dele realized that his 'prey' was heading to the fire tribe main tent so he picked up his pace.by this time of the day almost everybody was home cooking dinner.only dele and the spy and a few other people here and there remained.
realising this dele switched to the aura of darkness wich allowed his to move as a shadow,he instantly drownded in his shadow wich kept moving with incredible speed.and in no time his shadow was in front of the spy.
he leapt out of his shadow materalising quickly he saw utter suprise and shock in the eyes of his 'prey'.he grabbed him by the neck and uncovered his clook,it was camilia,Alex's daughter!!
