Chapter 20 - Gathering Of The Races (1/2)

With the start of the Battle of Might, all species and races living in the Nar realm proceeded to the battle arenas. The battle arenas were situated in the Central-North of the Nar realm, in the Eternal Mountains close to the region of the sacred serpent valley of lord Tarke.

Perhaps it was because the arena was so close to the only sacred valley in the entire Nar realm that other species and races could not manipulate or interfere in the battles taking place in the rings.

Once the participants for the battles were decided, invisible shields that existed since the beginning of the realm itself, came down and repelled any outside forces that tried to interfere in the exchange. They also prevented any inside force from spreading to the outside audience.

As such, the battles in the arenas were also used as a tool to seek vengeance for old grievances since any creature inside the arena could kill another creature as long as they had the ability to do so.

As a realm without sun and moon, the passage of time in the Nar realm was calculated by the heat of the blazing flames. The temperature in the realm was unbearably high during the day, while it was below freezing during the nights.

Sometimes going so low as to be able to freeze the fire-born creatures into ice statues and lead them to their deaths in their spots.

This was one of the leading causes of the Battles of Wars. Such harsh living conditions were only survivable with suitable living environments that the right to possess were earned by obtaining victories in the Battles of Wars and the inclusion of the clan's rank among the top.

And without doubt, the six supreme clans held possession of the top quality supreme living abodes in the Nar realm.

Some, like the werewolves Underworld Palace, were specifically crafted by the ancestors of the races. But if they lacked the strength to safeguard the abode, they could be brutally snatched by the other races.

At this moment in the Eternal Mountains plains, a group of yellow minotaurs' with flaming tails dashed into view, their animal limbs skidding on the lava hardened rocks as they came to a sudden stop.

”The instant the temperature warmed, we went on the road. Now, we are the first ones to appear here.” The leader of the group, the minotaur proxy ruler roughly growled.

The minotaur species were one among many that were not within the high rankings of power, hence, they could not have their own king or queen and their leader was addressed as proxy ruler, ruling on behalf of the clan they owed their servitude to.

The race could also not be called a clan and were addressed only as a group, because of their lack of a proper head.

Immediately after the minotaur group arrived the elven group, their blue skin and thin stature seemed completely out of place with their environment.

Then it was the red-eye dwarf group with green skin and red eyes, their short height making them appear as if they were kids playing with adults.

Soon, the dull merfolk' tribe appeared on a raging river of flames with their dull red hair swimming above their heads. These species were not even considered as groups since they could do nothing outside the raging rivers, so their status was even lower than the groups, their leaders addressed only as sires.

”Another battle begins again. Our race has no chance of rising, but we must not fall lower than we already have.” The Mer Sire hissed with clenched fists, his eyes filled with fierce resolve.

The dark sirens' tribe followed after them on wailing flame dolphins, their gray skin portraying them as clay figurines.

The brown selkies tribe soon made their appearances on smoky sea whales, both their appearance and personality dull.

Followed by the Iirifey, whose glittering gold skin and enchanting dull red-gold eyes made them a target of all the races' desires.

Because of this reason, they neither had proper titles among the races and nor were shunned. They became the perfect target for breeding with all the races.
