Many clans kept disappearing left and right. There was no pattern. Sometimes, clans in the far north disappeared, at other times it was south.
Within a few weeks, the fear of the unknown had spread throughout the realm.
All the High Clans were blaming each other for this, but no one knew who was exactly responsible. The only certain thing was that the one responsible was powerful.
Suspicious of each other, the High Clans stopped sharing information with each other. They made their own separate plans. Some set up traps in various clan territories that they thought might be targeted next.
There were also other High Clans that sent their powerful beings as secret guests to their important subordinate clans to keep an eye on them.
Almost every clan was doing one thing or another to protect their people. There were only the Angels who appeared to be silent, mainly because they didn't have any subordinate clans that resided in this realm.
