Sted fast." He told himself.
"Hey, what's with the chick with the tube on her back following us. Do you know her." Blane asked Damon.
"Well, yea sort of. What, really. She's very cute you think you could...ya know." Blane said in a way Damon understood.
" I don't know her that well or really at all to be honest but hey shoot your shot. Fair warning tho. She may be a little, well hell you'll see." Damon replied.
"Hey vora. You mind if the girl who's been following us tag along. I'm kinda tired of her surfing through the air and trees like we don't know she's there." Damon asked.
Damon had to explain who the girl was and why she was following them.
Vora also knew they were being followed but knew the girl wasn't a threat to them especially after knowing she had helped Damon earlier but after Damon explained everything she understood.
"She's your responsibility, if she slows us down or starts to cause any friction in our squad then you handle it. If she can't hold her own in a fight she's no use to us so she better be skilled like you say." Vora replied.
It took a little while but Damon eventually got through to seer. Asking her to just come tag along with the squad and not simply follow the squad.
"I'm not following them. I'm following my rival." She said.
Her voice sounded young because it was kinda high pitch when she talked at times. Damon rubbed his forehead in confusion ignoring her rival talking crap.
He introduced her to the squad and she traveled along side of Damon.
An hour and a half later they found themselves entering a small village called rock village.
Their was a large stone tablet with the village name engraved on it.
Their were hundreds of huts made from some type of silver and yellow rock material. Most huts were only around twelve foot high in the shape of a dome that looked like huge igloos around 2100 square foot.
Scattered in the corners of the rock village were six long high standing towers.
Walking through the village the people around them looked to have no beast core technology at all.
Everything seemed to be made of the yellow and silver rock. However by looking at the structures alone everyone could tell these people had unique and very good skills with molding and shaping rock as their buildings looked to be perfect in every way.
Many people greeted them with open arms. Everyone looked to have on similar clothing which was almost none at all.
From the looks of it many had thick strong cloth wraps around the sole of their feet rising up, stopping just below their calves.
Leaving their calves and mid way up to their quads on display.
A pair of tight shorts were worn and no shirt as all the men chiseled bodies could be seen.
Their knuckles to the middle of their forearm was wrapped as well in the cloth. All of them looked like they were kick boxers or something.
The women were the same as well. they didn't have just shorts, but short skirts that didn't flap with short pants underneath that could be seen as the fabric came down to the top of their knees.
The difference was their were multiple colors of the wrapped cloth fabric and their red skin along with their many colored eyes.
An older man along with six other men came into their view shortly after their arrival like they had been notified or something.
"Welcome to rock village. My name is cane, leader of the rock clan. Are you all part of the hollow souls guild or the Lions Den guild." He asked.
Answering him was vora informing him they were a part of the hollow souls.
"Ahh, yes. We weren't expecting you all until tomorrow but I'm very happy you made it earlier than expected because our situation is pretty serious. Come with me and I'll explain everything." Cane said.
"I see you all are very young. From most of your face expressions I can tell none of you have visited our home before. I am also aware your guild is new. It doesn't take much for word to get out. Especially a guild commanded by sir hughes himself."
"As you can see we are hard workers and have a grand profession, well I guess you can say talent or power rather. "
"We do things much different and only rely on our own hands and skills to create our homes and much more through stone carpentry."
" We do not use beast technology even though we are fully aware of the many and great things it can provide. This is our way and as our guests I must ask you all to respect it." Cane said walking forward.
Cane's figure was tall and around six foot six. His incredibly built frame looked to be impeccable.
None of his muscles were too bulky or lean. His age could be seen in his hair as it was completely white and the way he carried himself.
Unlike everyone else in his clan. Cane's skin was a different shade of red. It was much darker, almost blood red. The cloth wraps that were on his body were gold in color and he was the only one with that color.
They soon came to a hut that was much larger than any of the others and built very different.
It was half the size of a foot ball field. There were many more around but on a smaller scale. this one looked to have six huts as they were joint together.
Walking inside the squad was surprised at the scenery. The buildings from the outside was elegant in its own way with craftsmanship and skill but the rock clan attire made it seem like they were more primitive so they expected to not see much inside the huts.
"Well Damn, I expected it to be much different." Damon thought.
The floors were white marble with red glossing streaks. It was incredibly smoothed and clean.
They walked through a large room that had engraved images in the wall itself. Images of multiple people of their kind. Past leaders from the look of it.
Damon and his squad walked up to the wall touching a few of them as they weren't simple engravings but ones that protruded out the wall a little giving them a 3D look.
He rubbed the structure gently and surprisingly the stone itself wasn't cold to the touch like he expected.
Instead it was room temperature but the glossy look and colors made it seem like it would be cool to the touch.
"Hold up, something has to be different about these stones their using." He thought and so using oversee he was able to understand a little.
[Oversee~ a normal rock that has been manipulated with monolith magic. A magic of color and mainly rock formation.]
"Monolith magic." He thought. In turn Damon then used oversee on one of the men that accompanied cane.
[Race~human/bijou. Power Level 1980. A race of humans with monolith magic. the ability to shape and color rocks,gems,stone or anything that forms with the use of lithification.
The bijou race is unique with physical features as their bodies develop along with their monolith sculpting magic.
Their power can be determined by how in shape their physical bodies are and sometimes the color of their eyes.
Their bodies are extremely resilient and tough like raw steel.
"So they are a different race. I've heard we had a few races here that had joined with syair a very long time ago but not many people talk about them much." Damon thought.
"It's only if syair can benefit from them. The bijou race is a race that can create and form buildings within minutes.
They are scattered all over the kingdoms for such things. If I remember correctly that was part of the deal that granted their race a home here." Shield said hearing Damons thoughts.
"Hmph, so they allowed them to stay in order to use them. That's very shitty if you ask me. " Damon responded.
"I'm sorry you all but this mission is important to me. As much as I would like for you all to explore and learn about us. I'm afraid this isn't the time. Could you please continue to follow us." Cane said politely interrupting them.
They all immediately apologized and got back on task. Going through two more large hut like areas they soon came to a room filled with chairs and tables.
The table was very long and thick made of the same stone, but colored grey with gold swirls glossing all over it while the chairs were silver and made from metal and wood with a stone seat.
"Please have a seat everyone." Cane said while himself and the six other men took seats of their own.
The six other men said nothing at all and they all walked in a particular order around Cain.
Damon noticed with the formation they walked in that if their was an attack on Cain himself it wouldn't get through so easily because of their defensive formation that looked like they were just simply walking.
After using oversee on the rest of the men Damon saw that besides the first one he scanned everyone else's power level was above 2000.
He quickly decided to look at cains level before they got down to business.
After taking a seat he looked at Cane as if he was ready to listen but instead used oversee.
[Race~human/bijou. Power level cannot be detected. Oversee must be upgraded to see more information.]
"I had a feeling something like that would happen. In other words he's so strong that even my skill needs to upgrade just to see more. " Damon mumbled to himself.
