-The month of Wynnethel, the 1st, year ATC 3,527-
Heiracles's mouth dropped open, completely lost for words as Ila'Mu pivoted 180 again so that the feminine side was facing him once again. "We are Ila'Mu", he could hear both voices in unison.
Celine stepped forward, "Because of Wizarol heritage, all our young are taught from The Beginning. I will not go into too much detail here, as I doubt you could understand or believe most of it. But believe me when I tell you when I was first taught in my five-hundredth year from The Beginning, some two-thousand years ago that the Elvi worried both myself, and my siblings. So, we decided we wished to do something about it. Rose decided to watch their mountain for the past few millenia.. You want to know what they learned... ?"
Clearly, she was egging him on, wanting him to ask her to continue her story, not really understanding where she was going with all this. "Please, Celine. Just get on with it. I have learned to trust your judgment, over the years. But never quite understood your playful nature."
She rolled her eyes, clearly not being the response she wished from him. "Fine, fine. They watched those seemingly 'docile' Elvi bring hundreds of thousands of both beasts and sentient beings into their mountain.. Never to be seen from again, I made sure they checked."
Glancing at Ila'Mu, she continued before allowing Ila'Mu's story to be told. She felt that he needed to hear this to understand the gravity of the situation. "They're both breaking The Covenant and murdering, unrelentlessly." As these last words leave her lips, her golden eyes glew brighter accompanied by a murderous aura.
Heiracles could visibly see that she had to calm herself down from how upset it had made her, and a barely audible whisper was heard pass her lips, "We nearly lost Rose to those monsters..." He could see tears forming at the corners of her eyes.
"Heiracles.. They will continue to abduct and kill every. Living. Thing. On this planet in hopes of appeasing their God.. The Ring." She looked him squarely in the eye, "They will even hunt my own people into extinction, they need to be stopped.."
"The first time, and I apologize for this Ila," she quickly glanced at them before continuing, "But the first time Rose watched, they just watched. For some ten-thousand years, the Elvi continued on their murder spree, wiping out all life on this planet. A few days ago, Ila'Mu here, fled from their home in the upper reaches of the mountain. And today they would have been re-captured and brought back to fulfill 'their duty', as the Vizier sees it."
She motions towards Ila'Mu with her hand, "They become the weapon that wipes out both of our people."
Ila'Mu abruptly prostrates themself infront of Heiracles with their eyes closed. Well, atleast Mu's were, "It is true, what she says, Sir. Our mother wishes to amass both Ring Fragments and Cores to turn us into a force powerful enough to take on and bring both your species and hers under the thumb of the Vizier. I only started to see the signs within the past two weeks of all of what she says to be true. But if it all is, we place our life in your hands and accept death, if that is your choice."

I want to dedicate a section of each chapter to the love of my life, Kreation. For supporting my dream and urging me forward on my desires to finally 'put pen to paper', so to speak by writing out my book for you all to read, thank you so much for the support and love. 🥰
