"Either way, you slowed them down. Let's keep moving." The man in the lead looked at Grace and smiled. But Grace only felt disgusted seeing him smiling at her. He may be handsome, but to her, she could not stand any guy. If she were to really be with any man, it would only be the one man she had ever fallen in love with. But her life came crashing down on the day she was forced. She had to do it, or her parents would have been jailed for a crime they never committed. She felt ashamed and hated herself at the same time. Since then, she has stayed clear of men. But now she didn't even know if the only man she ever cared for was still alive or not.
The group continued to dash through the forest with about ten little green men chasing after them when one of the men suddenly tripped over a tree root, causing not only himself to fall but one of the girls in front of him. "Shit!" "Ahh!"
Grace stopped and turned to help the two people who fell, but the girl at her side pulled her arm. "Leave them!"
"But!" Grace did not care so much about the man, but the girl was another story. She had seen what the little green men do to girls!
"Forget it! They fell on their own, and now they can be used to keep us safe!" The girl yanked on Grace's arm. Grace's heart ached as she saw the pleading look in the girl's eyes as she tried to scramble back to her feet, only to be pounced on by the little green men. Biting her lips, Grace turned and continued running. She had just used someone else's life to save her own. This was something that she would have to live with for the rest of her life. But this was also not the first time…..

In the north, a meeting was currently being held. "Is it true a new age human was able to use chantless magic?"
"Yes, it has been confirmed by two people, and not only that, Princess Faana has become a traitor!" An old woman replied. Her eyes filled with killing intent.
A snort came from the side as a young man propped his chin up and looked at everyone at the table. "Find the human and kill that trash sister of mine. How hard can it be? We know the little bitches scent, so we only need to follow it. How hard is that?"
"Tenth brother, if it was that easy, we wouldn't be here right now. From that, the report states our little sister was not only protecting the human but so was the elven princess." A young woman with red hair and a long black dress that revealed some of her cleavage replied.
"Humph! From what I heard, the inner strife of the elven clan is big. The prince of the elves seems to be hell-bent on killing his sister anyways. We can probably work with him on this and expand our search more." The young man, who was called tenth brother, dipped his finger in the glass of wine in front of him, swirled it, and smiled. "So, shall we see how much we can weaken the other forces so that no one can do anything to our clan?"
"We may be able to pick off a few, but there are a few we can not do much about. The dwarves, the orcs, and the beastkin, along with a few of the fea races. And word has it our main fea ally has lost most of his people due to them running out on him." An older man in heavy armor replied.
"The Fairy Tyrant, huh? He has always been a loose cannon, anyways. We will just have to build up our strength more but making a deal with the elven prince seems doable for the time being." A man sitting at the head of the table with a crown that looped around his horn lazily said. "If anyone has any objections, they are free to say so now. But just know this king sometimes likes to bite people's heads off."
"Elder Brother, relax. I know you are angry about the outcome of the battle in the void, but we still have the most power in the world. We will not fall so easily. To make sure things work, this sister of yours will go herself to say hi to this elven prince. I would like to see him reject me." A young woman that looked to be around twenty wore a belly shirt with torn shorts and chains hooked onto her waist. Her long black hair rolled down her back, and her pale exquisite face was enough to make any man fall for her. But even though she was a beauty, her strength was not weak either.
"Clance? Alright, you can go. Just don't kill that stupid prince. We will have many uses for him." The man with the crooked crown replied.
"Many thanks, Elder Brother." Clance smiled and disappeared from where she stood. Everyone could only shake their heads.
"Clance is the only space mage of our generation. The elders have left the matters of the new world to us, so we must do a good job. But I do feel Clance will be perfect for this job. If we can get control of the elves, it will bolster our forces by a lot."
"We just need to wait and see the outcome."

Blake was currently standing in front of his family, who were all pouting. "Do you really need to go on such an extended trip?" Erica asked.
"I need to see if I can get in contact with the dwarves and most probably headed south with the elves. But towards the mountains down there to build a new home. You girls will all be undergoing your baptisms soon and maybe even be a step away from reaching your second evolutions. I will also look for things to help with this. And I can also get to know my powers better as well." Blake gently rubbed Erica's head.
"Yes, Blake needs to gain real-world experience, so we can not keep him here locked up. Plus, he will not be going alone, right, Mina?" Lillia smiled as she poked the little fairy sitting on Blake's shoulder.
"Mmm… I am just as powerful as Sister Noa, so I am sure I can help out in time of need. Fairies are also masters of illusions, so we can easily escape if needed." Mina replied.
"Then Mina, please protect Mona," Noa said as she looked at the cow girl hugging Blake's arm with a big smile. She had won rock paper scissors between herself, Moha, Erica, and Sam. Or more of Lillia made it so she would win. Mona was Blake's food source. Unless he found another woman to feed off of, he would go into a blood frenzy which would not be good for anyone.
"We will be back. I promise we will all come back safe and sound." Blake did not plan to do anything too dangerous. He would be keeping Mina at Mona's side most of the time anyway to keep her safe while he trained. So this kind of worked out well.
"I guess we have no choice but to see you off. Blake, be careful." Tina was trying to hide the sadness in her eyes, but it was not an easy task to do.
"I will! I will see you all in a few months!" Blake gave all the girls a kiss before leaving. Mona stuck to his side while Mina hitched a ride. It seemed kind of an out-of-place party, but each one had a specific role.
Mona's body was basically built to be a blood bank. After some tests, it was found that her body easily replaced the blood she lost within a matter of seconds which was why although she was inexperienced in battle, she was still a better choice than the others. And the thing about Mina was she was small and could hide in Blake's clothing to cast a spell.
Lillia turned and looked at the girls and clapped her hands. "Why so gloomy!? We will not begin what we planned! Time to bring a bit of the base above ground and start expanding outwards some. The current power of the base can easily deal with small skirmishes! So while he is gone, we will expand everything, including where our current outposts are located!"
Now that Blake had become a Drakani, Lillia decided to begin making moves as well.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
