Asleep deep within
"I'm your opponent! Adventurer Harold at your service!" Harold went to engage with the guard while Turli threw bombs towards the ship.
"Ughhh, that hurt me insides there mate. Can't you be less dopey you shining ray of positivity?!" Turli cringed at the sunny boy of a teammate they had as he threw some lit bombs towards the ship's mast.
*Boom*
"That lass ain't sailin anytime soon hahaha!!!" Turli smile seeing the falling mast then wreaked havock as he threw explosive spells left and right.
"Wraghh!!!" The Axe warrior fought the other guards while the Thief went around to get more profit for their party by stashing the valuable chest in his storage bags. Soon the pier was full of screams as the battle raged in every part of the beach.
"Aarghh!! YOU BITCH MY ARM!!" the fat dude rolled on the ground as Lady Sinclair calmly wiped her sword with a cloth then threw it away in disgust.
"That's just the begining you fat piece of shit!" She raised her sword as she slashed towards the jewels.
"AAARRRRGHHHHH!!!!!" The mournful shrieks of the fat dude was heard all over the pier as the other escaping nobles boarded their ships in panic. They looked over and all male present seemed to shiver in cold as a phantom pained rushed in between their pants.
Lady Sinclair tortured the fat dude while the guards were being held back by Harold's team and the Sinclair clan's soldiers. Battles like these happened all throughout the night that some Beast Lords had to retreat due to severe injuries. This battle went on for days when the Dragon Lord ambushed those retreating this earned the ire of the pacifist faction. Then it became a five sided fight that lasted longer than what was expected.
The Slaver's Beach was no longer the same as it was as it's face has been thoroughly changed by the battle. Beast Lords retreat the recuperate while others fight the the ones who fought retreat then the ones who recovered fight again. This was how there were rarely casualties in the Beast Lords but there already have been eight Beast Lords that has fallen.
Four from the Slaver's side, one from the pacifist side, one from the Allied nations and one each from the Eagle Lord's and the Dragon Lord's. But the battle raged on as the Slavers pushed their enslaved beast lords to their limits because they were all angry when they found out their heirs and relatives had been massacred in the pier.
They were all able to regroup on a nearby island where they kept receiving supplies from their kingdoms from the other continent. The Beast Lords couldn't swim through the ocean to leave as there are more Sea Lords under the sea that would take offense if Beast Lords of the Continent pass through their territory. Those in the shallow parts are still manageable but the ones in the deep are greater deterrents to the Beast Lords and various races.
Their ships could only pass by due to some dealings they had with the Sea folk. One of the various races that doesn't care of matters within the Land. But some Sea Lords in the shallow parts were tempted when they saw the dead carcass of the Beast Kings that were left in the middle of the battle field. Such great tonic made them surface and join the ongoing battle. This beach would then be remembered as the Slaughter's Bay where many Beast Kings fell and heroes of kingdoms die.
Great Heroes and Generals have surfaced in this battle as they showed great contributions in the various small and large skirmishes in the Beach. It had become a contending point as the amount of treasures that could be gathered from the dead bodies of the Large Beast Lords. Though some are not complete as they have been chewed or harvested during chaotic battles thus made more strong contenders appear.
Some were beast became Beast Lord Candidates as they grew in size and evolved when they fed upon the powerful carcass of the dead Beast Lords. Some members of the various race became chosen ones as they too showed great performance in battles and high prowess in talents. This made the battle more frantic as the ones who could get the most body parts would earn big. Some even became rich overnight selling some of the dead Beast bodies in the battle field.
This cycle went on for weeks that it caught the attention of certain beings. Deep within this Continent ruled by Beast ancient being slumber but the blood and souls that were being spilled roused them out of their thousands of years sleep. These beings were the reason of the difference of this Continent from another as they were beings close to becoming gods.
{So much carnage, has the time come yet?} A large pair of eyes opened up within the deep dark abyss with a deep mesmerizing voice.
{Not yet, it is still about nine decades till the prophesized time.} another pair of eyes opened up with snake like features spoke with a graceful voice full of temptation.
{Yet these mortals and beast wage war too early. Would our plans be affected?} another larger pair of eyes opened up as as it showed great wisdom with a voice of a sagely old man.
{It is of no consequence, but should we go back into slumber we should make a failsafe incase these mortals affect the results of he future.} Another voice that sounded both male and female, old and young with eyes full of splendor.
{I see a soul not of this world.} a calm deep voice sounded out as another gigantic pair of eyes sounded in this deep endless abyss, these beings may seem close to each other but these were merely projections to converse from different places.
{I see it too, but it is no hero or a summoned one} the charming voice said.
{But we have blocked the Realm from the outside. His past is a blur to me.} the old voice sounded out.
{He is not corrupted.} the vague voice said.
{Nor reincarnated} the charming voice said.
{We are not to taint his soul, I see great karma follow this person. Too great to see even for me,} the cold female voice said as another pair of eyes opened up.
{Even you can't?I thought I was the only one seeing things. What can we do then? These mortals are tainted with those traitors scent all over. This soul is the only one we can make into a variable in the chessboard.} the old voice said.
{Gifts are in order, I have left a small gist on a road he will take. This would help him further to be a variable in the grand scheme of things.} the charming voice said.
{I too have left something that would prevent any corruption to come near this young one.} the calm cold voice said.
{Hoo hoo, how generous of you Orobas. I too shall give him a boon of knowledge, it's his efforts that'll make him earn this gift.} the vague voice said.
{You are quite stingy Stolas, a treasure to make his travels easier.} the deep mesmerizing voice said.
{A chance for him to find a great support in life, that I shall provide.} the cold female voice said.
{My gift shall be the understanding of the voice of any beast. What we did may become a variable or lead this soul into the truth. Otherwise he may become someone in the Board playing the game that never ended. Let us return to our slumber.} the old voice said.
{Before that, let's release the pent up energy first. It would cover up the eyes of the heavens so it won't see the boy. Only Erlune and Berond might have an idea of the boy but they never interfered in anything related to the millenial wars. Let's do this before the heavens's notices us.} the vague voice said.
