Dryad's uncle walked closer observing the area just as Jamal's pregnant wife glow illuminated more brightly over the wigwams and everyone there.
What could be the reason to see an Inhumane to become this close to the Beast beings?
Moreover... I believe, she's pregnant for one of them…
He looked at his followers laying on the sand groaning along with the motionless creepers as walls of rain heavily poured on them;
She did all this to my men, alone… have heard of Inhumanes great endurance yet--
"Pardon me, Ma'am." Then he sprinted towards Peirce about grabbing his face, the pregnant woman zoomed to his front unknowingly, punched him.
He slid back through the wet sand with his hands raised manageably shielding himself from the sudden hit.
He dropped his dripping wet arms felt as though he was hit by a rock.
"… You're really strong for a pregnant Inhumane, my Lady." Dryad's uncle proclaimed under the heavy rain, noticed the wet sand beneath Peirce's feet also reflected green light and his right arm was glowing as greenish-black semblance oozed from it while it sizzled with every rain drop falling on it.
Dryad's uncle furrowed his brows behind his mask. He wondered, this was the first time seeing an Inhumane glowed in such manner other than the named Shadow Inhumanes.
Is it another level of controlling their glows? Or it must be the very reason why his cells is that important for Project Liberation.
Meanwhile the pregnant woman speedily uplifted the front of her soaking wet dress up to her knees, gathered it all in front of her then pulled the gathered cloth between her legs, remodeling it into a padded dress, exposing her full thighs.
She took what was left in the dress into each hands and tied a bow in front then pull all her dripping wet hair back. Well all of these was to make sure when fighting Dryad's uncle who was quick to react to her punch might not be easy to take down at least it could protect her unborn child from pushing out. If you understand what that means.
As the rain beats, Peirce and Node spotted on her right ankle an inked, irregular red shield just like what was on Lazarus's neck. Their eyes slightly widened, knowing the pregnant woman was one, part of the creed, the babysitter mentioned.
"That does it!" The huntress cried from the side, staggering to gain back her ground while holding her bleeding head.
She gazed at the pregnant woman, bit her lower left lips in regret. We should have show them how strong we are and kill every last one of them at the very beginning!
She removed the white cowl around her neck uncovering the mark of the Forest Nymph on the neck.
The pregnant woman with the two teenaged boys looked at her.
"Do you think a petty trick like this will work on me!" Then she smacked her hand really hard against the wet sand.
Dryad's rolled his eyes at her in amazement,
"Stop, DiMA!"
But it was too late as the wet sand around them crumbled then many vines greatly thrusted out of it, tore down at the pregnant woman, Peirce and Node alone.
Meanwhile from where Frankenstein was he saw the rumbling vines sprouting out to the sky under the heavy rain. His face contorted in disbelief.
"Fools! What have they done!"
The tribe's guards all looked one after the other as they killed every last one of the creeper. They recognized right away what those vines symbolized.
Huh, why are we seeing one of the Forest Nymphs abilities coming out from the middle of our village?
"It's because they are all working together to capture Peirce!" Sniffia yelled from where she stood under the rain then lightning flashes within the dark clouds followed by the roar of thunder.
All of the tribe's guards elongated ears all twitched at her loud voice which echoed much more louder just after the thunder roars. Then they all turned their faces staring at Frankenstein to Sniffia. Is she actually telling the truth?
"No further questions. Fatima go with five of us and check if this is all true." The second in command of the tribe guards in front ordered as Fatima, a dark skinned lady with a very round hips having a split scarlet eye pupils that reflects the full moon, on her head a all back-braided long black hair while holding in her hand a falchion.
She turned as her two wet long flopped ears flapped to the side, separating herself along with five of the tribe's guards immediately running to the village.
"The remaining of us will deal with this here--" He glanced at the being who created the portals in front of them before charging to him.
Suddenly, many new massive portals appeared completely encircling them like a barrier including Fatima and the five tribe's guards with her.
Fatima gritted her teeth then slashed through and around the portals however it was ineffective. She stopped and wondered as other tribe's guards also.
They really don't know yet if more of the creepers will come out of the space yet again or where it leads to when one entered.
Fatima earlier saw Frankenstein behind the fat being facing Sniffia and the two little girls then she contemplated while she stood her ground. Who are those little ones over there?
And what exactly was their real motives in all this?
Frankenstein groaned, scratching his bandaged head. This wasn't part of his plans. One of his patrons having finally lost it by bringing out such ability showcasing the whole village who they were when earlier being warned not to but disguised themselves. Now it all went down to a drain.
"If you want something done right, do it yourself." Sniffia sarcastically adviced Frankenstein as she charged at him about stabbing him with the scimitar in her hands suddenly Zero-Zero who was laying on the wet deserted floor, thought to be dead was already behind her putting his metal rod tightly around her neck, choking her.
While the fat being approached the girls about swallowing one of them, Sniffia dropped the scimitar before it touched the ground she kicked it at the fat being piercing through the head, causing him to flounder as his pace slowed down it gave the little girl an opportunity to move from his way then the other little girl removed the scimitar stuck in the head just as her sister and her countered by strongly punching the fat being's back at the same time which sent him flying the other way.
Then Frankenstein eyes went wide as his body shivered. He noticed just after the girls countered the dark clouds looming behind him were all gradually covered in various colors.
The shivered doctor slowly turned staring to the glowing colorful clouds, behold he could see many Inhumanes in their emblematic armors brightly glowing differently each riding on a Kirin through the sky.
He was dumbfounded.
Zero-Zero looked up as his eyes reflects such lights.
The tribe's guards also looked up.
Sniffia having the chance, elbowed Zero-Zero against his side then turned him over to the wet ground and punched his face hard, reached to the scimitar in the hands of the little girl, zoomed to stabbed Frankenstein in the chest.
"Oh, have you forgotten in a second, how dangerous we are?" uttered Sniffia with her eyes glowing orange.
Frankenstein strained, grunted dropping a knee to the wet ground glaring to the eyes of Sniffia then alerted his underling with the ability to create portals to take them off the deserted land.
Out of no where a portal appeared behind him while the fat being rolled himself up from where he was smashed into then cannoned ball at Sniffia which she dodged by removing the scimitar from Frankenstein chest before retreating back to the girls then Zero-Zero carried Frankenstein inside the portal soon after the fat being rolled in.
Meanwhile the portal which Lazarus and the Strongest underling of Frankenstein fell into glitches at that point Lazarus with few slashes around his body came out from it holding the iron mace for his opponent.
He sighed flung the large weapon back into the portal then it disappears.
Lazarus looked at it with a sigh of relief, thankful the portal didn't disappeared with him inside.
He was about going when a awe transformed his face as his eyes widened and his body slightly shivered.
He looked heavenward to the sky.
Glowing Inhumanes on Kirin were sighted who swiftly flew by just above him.
"... Spleeny-Freaks, why are they here…?"
—
Right within the wigwams, Dryad's uncle noticed a figure was on the floor hemorrhaging from the injuries the vines inflicted, he shook his head in disappointment as a portal appeared right behind him.
"… We have failed…" Dryad's uncle entered the portal with the crawled huntress as her vines picked the injured hunters along with her before long it disappears.

.
At the Water Nymphs Kingdom, beyond the Yorub-an sea to the east of the Inhumanes empire and the region between the seas and forest. Another large ocean, second largest to the Yorub-an sea was called by many names but most beings called it the Eleme ocean.
It only drizzles down from the grey clouds above on the corresponded inhabitants of the tropical island, sometimes accompanied with low visibility and fog.
Just like the Empire of the Inhumanes the water Nymphs lived on an island but very smaller in size and surrounded by running rivers, streams and water falls.
Embellished by many enhanced glassy tall and pointing shaped see-through buildings erected in the middle of the small island that penetrated up the grey clouds in a way from afar it looks more like a high glassy mushrooms in the midst of smaller and thinner glassy mushrooms as The King of the Forest Nymphs described such superstructures.
It was the third consenting meeting between the Forest and Water Nymphs. Willian who was at the centered floor of the tallest high-rising mushroom building near a large water fall looked down through the curtain walls to the Water Nymph's gorgeous females playing and chattering while under the light downpour near the water fall's stream.
He groaned then the distinct sounds of wooden staff hitting the glassy floor was heard as Granny Chan walked by before stopping behind Willian.
"What's the problem, Willian? Home sick?" Granny joked now dressed in blue pattern butterfly wings worn over her head to her feet, the orb floating between the top fingery head of her wooden staff indicated in clear azure.
"No, godmother." Said Willian but sounded a little distressed in his jade armor.
"Looking at them, with their smiles and laughter no one could have thought that one day the Forest and the Water Nymphs will live entirely separated from each other."
"You think?" Granny walked to closer to the curtain walls.
"No, godmother, I know so." He sighed.
"They have really made great progress to this small island since the last time I came here... and that I'm proud of." Willian wasn't sure if they had an outside help in constructing many of the massive glassy mushroom buildings however as he said he was proud to, some extent.
"Oh, Willian. As for me also, I love what they had done with this place. Is good you only see the good things here… " Granny Chan touched the curtain walls with her staff. "...Sometimes every good things have it's own repercussions."
Willian looked at Granny Chan. He seems to not understand what really Granny Chan meant.
The old blind lady smiled.
"In those days before things got to this, the Forest Nymphs, the Water Nymphs and the Grotto Nymphs lived as one, back then no one knows who was who because we all dressed alike, our traditions, the ways we do things were all the same except our abilities differentiated us all and we don't mind as we lived in harmony... Do you know why I, one of your ancestors decided to unite the three Nymphs?" She asked.
"For absolute dominion of the world?" Willian responded instantly..
Granny Chan groaned, Willian never read her books of history always prefer the actions and adventures types of her books.
"That actually… was one of the reasons."
Granny Chan gently tapped her wooden staff gently on the curtain walls as her azure orb glowed, the window fogged as the droplets of rain fell lightly, streaming down on it transformed into moving characters of the stories Granny Chan was about to put into words.
"It was never entirely about absolute dominion. It all first started when new beings like I and others consciously came into existence, the very first thing we thought of was uniting every being including the Giants but only all three Nymphs agreed to it. Our main purpose, to fight what's in there." Granny Chan said, later staring at the sky, from the rolls of clouds the towering, wide and menacing white-crystalline barrier faintly was spotted above.
Willian blinked and turned his turquoise eyes up also; that I know but would we win against such forces?-- and. Did I just see and heard they were Giants in our world?
Granny Chan continued. "Since I was among the few beings who witnessed everything that happened between the Divine being and the Destroyer. We need to be ready." The fog and the droplets transformed yet again to her stories. "If others around us failed to see the truth behind uniting for common goal we the Nymphs will not. So we trained, cared for each other, waited for billions of years hoping it will one day break open but fortunately it never did, as time passes our unity deteriorated and our sole purpose was notably forgotten. Firstly the new descendants of the Grotto Nymphs who knew not how strong our unity represented left us and dwelled in caves later known to be their intrinsic homes and sadly the two remaining connected Nymphs got separated all because one of us loved an outsider…"
We may fail if things don't get better as it is. It might be too late when we know our troubles and problems here are insignificant when there are bigger things to worry about.
"… God mother… I don't understand why now, why are you telling me all these?" Willian questioned about everything.
Granny Chan sighed removed her wooden staff from the curtain walls as the droplets streaming down on it runs back to normal.
"You know, Willian not everyone's like you. Every Nymphs knows the history including a year old. It's all in the books I wrote."
Willian blinked with a embarrassing cough.
"Does it have to do with reading a history book to know it all?"
"You said it right," Granny Chan answered.
"… Gosh, no wonder I never heard of it before." Willian rubbed his gingered beard staring out of the window just as more rain droplets trailed down on the curtain walls however his eyelids lowered, he was saddened by something or someone at the thought of it. "… I'm worried about Randall... If that strong woman couldn't survive her injuries, will he ever forgive himself? He's such a being that blames himself when things doesn't work his way." Willian felt sorry about Priscilla the Divine Humane of strength still having doubts about whether or not she survived.
"… If. She will it…" Granny Chan responded.
Willian blinked turning his freckled face to Granny Chan about talking.
"-- A good morning, your highnesses," A being said, approaching them, "what a nice weather we are experiencing today, aren't we?"
Granny Chan turned.
"Oh, you finally made it here, Alpha Obie. Where are the remaining two Alphas?"
"… well, that hurt my feelings, I'm the strongest among us three." The Beast being boasted, covered in white fur that wavered down his head to his tail and almost covering the whole hands, feet and face, not a cloth worn; behind his back hung a golden cudgel and a golden circlet that faintly shows around his hairy head. "So the two alone can govern the Beast kingdom when I'm away."
He looked around.
"Where's Queen Aegle? I heard from many mouths here and there that she's getting more and more younger by the day, I need some advice on how to make my old face younger." Alpha Obie picked his ear as he spoke. "Where's she?"
Granny Chan giggles with an answer.
"She is with the Queen of the deep sea as we speak."
Alpha Obie looked at her then he sniffed his armpits one after the other. "Oh,"
"Your staff, is really shiny, could I trade mine with yours?" Granny Chan joked.
"Oh, godmother. You flattered me and a big No. You know, godmother. I read every last one of your books and should I tell you what?" He asked. " I love every bit of the journey so far. Hohoho. When are you going to write a new book, I promise I will be the first to read it no matter what!"
"--If truly you came alone then why are you here?" Willian cuts in. His eyelids lowered. He knew Alpha Obie was a trickster by nature.
"Do I know you," Alpha Obie said as he was suddenly behind Willian sniffing his jade armor up to his neck then he hopped back to his former position.
"Hahahaha just kidding, just kidding, King Willian. I actually came on my own accord, sadly I lost two of my worshippers—oh, I mean two of men," He put his hand on his mouth and snickered then be became serious all of a sudden as his blazing eyes thinned. "Have you seen them? They're this tall," raising his hand over to his head, "with grey furs on their body… No?"
Willian didn't responded. He looked at Granny Chan who shook her head.
"No, one? Okay then," He suddenly gestured out two fingers right in front of Willian blocking his view and hopped back to his former position as he walked back and forth while speaking.
"The second reason I came is… we beast beings are getting more and more overpopulated not like what I'm saying is actually new but, we no longer have the resources to take care of everyone…"
He stopped looking straight to the towering, wide and menacing white-crystalline barrier faintly shows in the clouds above.
"So, I think hard and hard again then I came up with a plan. Let's do something that has never be done before, let's build a very big Tournament where beings that are strong old and young could train themselves secretly to prepare them for war. Talented beings of all kind just before competing against each other for the final results to make things fun, that is it. What do you say? Huh, do you love it? I know something like that was done before but this one will be global it will be remembered from generation to generation because. All beings are welcome! the Inhumanes, Humanes, Nymphs, we the beast beings and… any other beings that had not yet be discovered." Alpha Obie raised both furry arms up speaking gloriously, inhaling and exhaling hard.
"And where will everything be covered?" Willian asked now folding his jade armored arms.
"Isn't it obvious, At the Beast Kingdom of course. This alone will create jobs, avenues also serves as an entertainment ground for us and everyone invited! They will all be warmly welcomed. What do you think, huh? A great plan, isn't?" Alpha Obie shined his sharpened teeth.
"Hmmm. I love where this is going.." Granny Chan smiled as she clapped her hands.
Willian lowered his head with a sigh.
"Godmother?"
Granny Chan turned to Willian then the old blind lady spoke.
"Yeah. This is new even for me however let's see it through, given the chance of possibility when the next meeting starts I will make public to everyone on the sit. In short it tallies to what we are really here for. To build a stronger force that will one day fight those inside the barrier who many in it might be stronger than the messenger who fought against us earlier."
Willian reasoned for a while before coming to his own conclusions as he revealed.
"Hmmm. It might be a great idea but one thing still bothers me."
He looked up at Alpha Obie now hanging his tail on the rails of the roof just above where they stood, murmuring to himself.
"You are not those type of beings who make such good and quick solution to what will bring something valuable to your people, did the Alphas know of this?"
"Hahahaha. I'm hurt yet again."
He jumped down as the glass beneath him cracked a little.
"Well I will tell you since you insisted. drummers ready. Dun, dun, dun. Here come the master mind of the idea! Welcome to the scene! Mistress July!"
A woman came forward which looked just like June to be precise she was June older twin but with a short black hair and a square, defined shoulders with a curved body, a younger face that sets her apart from her twin sister.
She bowed her head in a respectful manner before introducing herself again then she went straight to the point the reason why she was there.
"Many things will get irrelevant when we don't change the way we think and act. We don't have much time the fate of the world depends entirely on what we do." July continued, "As I speak many of the characters that might change the future are… evolving."
… What'd happened next, around the world after she spoke.
In an unknown location. Strong waves from the sea broke aganist the other sides of the towering, wide and menacing white-crystalline barrier on top of the raging sea, three shadowy figures was seen standing on the sea effortlessly.
The third large shadowy figure facing the two figures spoke.
"Seems her words were true all along."
.
.
.
In another unknown scenery, it shows the Lung Dragon staring down to the bewitching lady who had a widespread of tattoo on her back, standing on a cliff.
.
.
.
Then it shows the commander giving Lekan Skylark a thumbs up with a smile on the walking steps into the palace as Jared walked by just in front of the humming Inhumane with inky eyes holding around his shoulders the large hammer. At Abbey's home, Abbey was seen playing with his child as his wife approached him giving him a kiss on his lips.
—
Randall was seen on the belfry holding Beth's waist from behind and the other hand rubbing her belly as they both looked in smiles at the full moon with many tiny luminous dots shinning through the sky with a calm wind surrounding them.
.
.
.
At the gloomy cave, just under the dimly light that reflects from the moon through the only crack there, the huntress knelt while presenting a small pant of blood squeezed out from one of her vines before Dryad's uncle, standing in front of her as he turned his head over to Frankenstein staring at the big wide tube filled with fluid and strangely in it was unconscious Dryad.
.
.
.
Azra with Aquila arrived at the Humane Kingdom hoping to see his family. Aguda on the other hand was arrested just after seeing his family at the suburbs of the Beast Kingdom also previously advised his family in migrating to the Humane Kingdom and not to worry about him. He, himself will be with them no matter what.
.
.
.
And Aje's armor was seen hung in an unknown room as a figure passed by.
.
.
.
Back within the wigwams. It was no longer pouring but the rain slowed down to a faint drizzle upon the unlucky Peirce with his face lowered, every sound around him were muted. His teeth clenched together, his fists balled in anger while staring at a figure close to his feet on the soaked wet red deserted ground as the full moon and glowing crystals reflects on him. A thin bleeding slash could be seen on Peirce's side at the background Inhumanes on Kirin landed around him while Sniffia with the girls and Node only watched Peirce from where they stood, his two closed friends face appeared saddened.
.
.
.
Somewhere secret at the Humane Kingdom shows Luna smashed in the wall while holding a very large chained pick-axe with a lowered face having a cut on her chin down to her chest area then she raised her head staring at a bald girl kneeling many distance then the bald girl stood up on her both feet who was known to be her Princess, Wren having a clean cut also in between her left eye brow.
The princess stared at her with a smile, pressed her left nose and blew out blood from the other.
"Oh, my bubbles, you never give up, don't you?"
Wren clenched her fist standing guard in front of her then her blue eyes glowed as the blue fabrics tore out from Luna's cape wrapped around her arms sways with the wind.
"Then I will make you."

******* Sadly, this is where I, Tundersora officially end season one. Thanks once again my faithful readers. Hopefully I will, by next season focus more on Peirce and Wren. But I know this, yet again the remaining main characters might steal the show. Fortunately for me with a bit misted eyes I will be back in seven months due to the fact that my other career which is compulsory to pass through demanded for it. Thanks once again and do share your thoughts on what Soul Lovers is all about. I heart you all!*******
