580 Fated Encounters: Nyzzets Labyrinth Conquest 42/?: Yvnei (1/2)

Yvnei was a Monster not originally born in the Dungeon made by the Dragon God of Thunder Nyzzet, but she was originally a young feather winged Wyrm that came from Vast Plains, escaping from the humans and the strong beasts that roamed the place.

Her origins were uncertain, as she had once belonged to a large flock of her race, which was shunted down by Human Adventurers to complete several Quests made by the guild of the Town near the Dungeon.

Yvnei still remembered the day her family was mercilessly slaughtered, even when they tried flying away, the Adventurers possessed strong magic and long-ranged attacks, annihilating them from the sky.

Yvnei had somehow managed to escape alive, mostly because she was shielded by her father…

Although she was greatly affected, she chose to fly away and then enter the dungeon to find shelter from the humans.

Because in those times, she didn't have such a developed intelligence nor sapience, she quickly forgot about her family and immersed herself in survivability inside the dungeon, hiding from the Adventurers that went inside to explore it while killing weak and small fry monsters to slowly grow stronger.

Although she was good at surviving, she had a clumsy nature, which often bit her tail several times through her adventures inside the dungeon, such as confronting bosses that were too strong for her or getting inside traps and hidden rooms filled with monsters continuously.

It could be said that her life was filled with too many adventures, and through these unfortunate series of events, she grew incredibly strong, slowly raising and raising in the food chain of Nyzzet's dungeon, to the point that she reached the lower floors and triumphed against the Bosses from Floor 70.

However, in that time, Goghesdum had appeared, accompanied by Odanth, they beat her almost to death, and ended up recruiting her to their group… this was all pretty sudden for Yvnei, but she adapted fairly quickly.

Goghesdum and Odanth saw potential in her, and instead of using her as Experience Points and food, they nurtured Yvnei and taught her many things.

Although Yvnei had a clumsy nature, her powers and talents were obvious, and due to her rare race, something that would not be simply found inside a dungeon primarily focused on Thunder Attribute, she was unique within the group, bringing new abilities and powers that they did not possess.

Goghesdum taught her magic and alchemy, while Odanth taught her physical fighting and other skills… which Yvnei rejected to learn because of how degenerate they were.

Through many trials, Yvnei managed to break through her Level cap, finally evolving into the pinnacle of mortals in Dragon-type monsters, an Elder Dragon, she was now only one step before becoming a Living Deity, much like Goghesdum and Odanth at her side.

But alongside sapience and intelligence, the memories of when she was younger became clearer and easier to understand… the death of her family and that of her father greatly affected her fragile heart.

Yvnei became gloomy and depressive, and after dozens of years where Goghesdum and Odanth worked as her emotional supports while helping her nurture the Siren, she slowly grew through it and became less clumsy alongside being more mature, perhaps even more than Odanth in that regard.

Goghesdum was a strong maternal figure for the young Dragoness, helping her more than even Goghesdum had thought possible of her, as she always thought that she was a cold and calculative person… but the adorable Yvnei ended up melting her heart for good, becoming a lovable 'mommy' which Yvnei put a lot of trust into.

Meanwhile, although very deviant in her nature and passions, Odanth was still a clear elder sister figure for Yvnei, always cheering her up through the struggles of her life and the memories of the death of her family. Yvnei slowly grew anew due to this emotional support, and instead of harboring hate towards the Humans that took the life of her family, she forgave them and decided to live peacefully while helping and nurturing her beloved people, the Sire, whose Goghesdum had given the responsibility to Yvnei to take care of.

Much like the Lizardmen and Viper, after a dozen of generations, the Siren became High Siren, developing great intelligence, similar or even better than that of Humans.

Unlike Harpies, Sirens were a female-only monster race of women with strong bird-like appearances, some of such appearances being larger and often more monstrous than those of the adorable Harpies.

Sirens had bigger bodies, their legs and talons had three joints, making them seem incredibly tall, their bodies were often completely covered in feathers unlike Harpies and their wings were immense. Their nature was that of fierce monsters, but after being taught many things by Goghesdum and Yvnei, they became more intelligent until a change in their race happened, converting the Siren race into High Sirens.

Their appearances became more streamlined and delicate, resembling Harpies mores, but their sizes remained the same, and so did their monstrous strength and their female-only characteristic trait.

High Sirens, just like Sirens, needed the seed of a male from a different species to copulate and lay eggs to keep in their race… In tales, Sirens would often capture males they found strong enough to be deserving of being the fathers of their children, and because of this, Sirens are often seen as terribly frightful monsters, and such bad reputation was even moved to Harpies, who do not have any necessity of doing anything of the like, as they possessed males in their race.

The seed that Sirens needed could be of almost any humanoid demi-human or even monsters, as long as their physiologies matched enough, even Lizardmen and Viper could copulate with them, as they were all monsters and shared a similar trait despite being incredibly different in appearances.

Due to this, the High Sirens and Sirens of Yvnei's City did not suffer many issues with reproduction, as males from the other two cities, Lizardmen and Viper would come every so often in look for a wife… Those that were usually rejected by their ugly appearances or asocial behaviors found love in Sirens, who accepted mostly any male as long as they were willing to love them back.

Many such families happened like this, and every so often, the males would have more than one wife as the Sirens did not mind sharing their husband with their entire family of sisters, so they could all bear children and maintain their race's population.

High Sirens, unlike High Lizardmen who had developed towards the study of magic, technology, and science, and unlike the Viper who had developed towards expressing their love and passion through arts, developed into a different path, that of production.

High Sirens were incredibly talented at crafting, despite having their upper hands covered in feathers, they had proper claw-like hands, unlike Harpies who could only use their wings as fingers carefully.

Their sizes, strength, and caring nature only helped in their path towards industrialization, which began to progress by leaps and bounds, even more than any Kingdom in the Border Continent (although not comparable enough to the advancements in the Central Continents).

They developed factories for the mass production of items which they sold to the other two cities, they also had incredibly talented artisans, agriculture experts, and monster cattle caretakers.

Unexpectedly for Goghesdum, High Sirens became an essential tribe for the sustenance of the other cities.

Yvnei had found much distraction in taking care of her family of Sirens, her beloved citizens. And helped them even further in developing their technology and production-based economy and city.
