450 Invader

Arriving on the deserted island took exactly ten days, which made us arrive on the same day as the Demon Sect.

The two sects each had massive beasts they rode on, ours was this phoenix-like creature, who I learned during our travel was actually a sub-species of the Suzaku, a distant relative to the almighty phoenix. While the Demon Sect rode on a giant winged gray whale.

Yes, a whale with eighteen wings. The two massive creatures were adamant on facing each other the moment they were face to face. But with each of the sect masters applying a great deal of submissive pressure, the two beasts decided it was better that they don't fight.

The two creatures were ordered to go down, on each side of the island, then soon both of the Sect Masters, and the elders were to meet in the middle of the island to prepare for the 'friendly' competition that will be the reason to bury the hatchet and put a stop to this wheel of vengeance and pointless deaths.
