Just outside the woodlands of Rekka in a small building the Council of sages begin their meeting sat at a pentagonal table with a chair at each side at and they all apart from Rory have an assistant Magus by their side each sage is allowed two students learning directly from them these students act both as an assistant as well as bodyguards.
Armeer initiates the meeting with a greeting to his fellow sages "I thank you all for making the journey here Lazslo, Urakata, Rory and of course Franco, I don't like taking each of you from your busy lives but as I mentioned in the letter Ranna the Red has been spotted in the beastlands and we can't pass on an opportunity to apprehend him while we can" Franco elated responds "fufufu, finally he makes an appearance he hasn't been seen in 16 years back when I captured The Regal!, fufufu this could be interesting who is taking the job from the Bounty Guild after all he is ranked SSS difficulty, we also gave him a threat level of five stars ***** " Lazslo responds "as a beastling myself I will take on this role, I can't have the stability of Wudeli torn apart when beastlings haven't tried to attack Fort Vega in twenty years" Urakata also curious "Lazslo don't you think Armeer is the only one who could guarantee victory anyone of us could very well lose to Ranna well maybe Franco could do it" Franco quickly interjects "I don't have the time my family can't run Primus without me" Rory having enough "Lazslo, Urakata and I can handle this situation that way Franco can get back to Primus, would this appease you all" none objected to the motion Rory put forward.
As the other are talking amongst themselves Armeer offers advice to Rory "be careful Rory, I'm not a man who blows his own trumpet but Ranna almost tore my head off when I fought him during the great war Im afraid you'll put too much confidence in your muscles" Rory looking worried but forcing a smile "haha you know as much as what you say scares me it also excites me,I do hate that I've never went toe to toe with any of the Warlords before unlike you whose fought each of them and became a legend for it, Armeer the elder I appreciate your concern but that's precisely why I wanted Lazslo and Urakata with me".
Meanwhile in the beastlands which is located on a peninsula separated from the rest of Wudeli by My Vega, too high and too treacherous to try and take an army over and armadas of boats always in the nearby waters the beastlings are trapped in the beastlands the only real way out is through the manmade tunnel through the mountain but there is a permanently manned fort known as Holy fort Vega in this tunnel all the countries of Wudeli each have a squadron of men stationed on the fort and each has a commander assigned by their nation, the jurisdiction and running of the fort is however done by the holy land of Rekka the country on the other side of Mt Vega. The peace on Wudeli has been maintained this way for 150 years but panic is spreading amongst the squadrons stationed at the fort as they have also heard the rumours of The Wraths return.
In the beastlands a large gathering is taking place all beastling are requested to attend a short distance from the gathering place lays the ruins to a castle and in amongst the ruins lies Ranna a giant man with white hair and wearing a long red robe is using a crystal ball as a long distance communication device "ho, Kuru is that you, hoho I haven't heard from you in about 45 years, my old friend how is life faring nowadays and what's prompted this call?" Kuru responds " just colleague's will do but I do owe you a warning nonetheless, so here it is leave Wudeli now the sages are in Rekka as we speak and I'm sure will be at the fort your planning to destroy" Ranna laughs and shrugs off the warning "I know Kuru, hoho I have men on the other side of Mt Vega so I know they are here but I only needed to bait a certain someone here".
