670 Kylons Misleading Repor (1/2)
”What do you mean?”
”Jack located us and guided us into Glacier Reef. He and Lunara found this place first. They used the life of one of our own to push for a ceasefire.”
Halmut paused and then asked, ”How many do they have?”
”... I've only seen Jack and Lunara,” answered Kylon.
”Then we'll--”
”Halmut, I've agreed to a ceasefire already. I don't go back on my word!”
”Kylon, this is--”
”Halmut!” Kylon shouted as her body tensed up in passion. ”This place is beyond beautiful, even incomparable to other parts of the world. Violence to the degree of godly warfare will destroy such a delicate place. The ceasefire is only for a single day, so--”
”But you should've contacted me before agreeing! A single god can be revived, Kylon. You know that!” reasoned Halmut.
”Either way, we've already made the agreement and the hydras have allowed us to stay outside of Glacier Keep without any struggle.”
”You're there now?”
”... Yes… We're close enough to see the sealed entrance of Glacier Keep and will be camping out here till it opens,” replied Kylon.
”Good… Good job, Kylon,” Halmut sighed, calming his voice. ”So, tell me about the hydra civilization. How many hydras are there, roughly?”
”At least a hundred… possibly two hundred.”
”That many?!” Halmut shouted in surprise. ”Then we must--”
”Halmut, the hydra civilization is included in the ceasefire. If we dare attack them, then--”
”Then the leisure gods will attack in defense and break the ceasefire themselves. What's wrong with that?” questioned Halmut.
Kylon sighed, ”I've already formed the agreement… I'm not going back on my word, Halmut. You know that!”
”I get it, I get it… You don't want to hurt Lunara's people.”
”Halmut, I--”
”Just wait there till the keep opens.”
The conversation was immediately cut off, leaving Kylon with a terrible taste in her mouth.

”Torian, Grixor, Tralbok, get here now!”
Halmut's roar filled Olympic Chateau. He sat back in his chair overlooking the giant viewing table. The unrest on his face was obvious to everyone, hence everyone leaving Halmut alone in the conference room unless called.
The three gods entered the room from different sides and found Halmut staring at the pitch-black viewing table. Tralbok commented, ”So, it's too far away?”
Nodding, Halmut turned his attention to the three men. ”Gather all the gods. You'll be leaving immediately.”
”All the gods?” asked Torian.
