Yea, the storm had subsided after over 5 hours which actually meant time was flowing faster in this village. Unlike the usual 24-hour days, here time flowed at 12 hours a day meaning the days are doubled as u spend time here. I called up Valiero (death fairy) to check up on the situation outside and report to me about what's goin on in the spirit world outside the region.
It would take some time for Valiero to return so I decided to go out check the terrain I was facing. It was still early morning and the other residents seemed to have not woken up yet. The carriage master seemed to have found a safe spot for himself and his carriage. I minimized my sacred guard to a pair of gloves instead of the big gauntlets they usually are taught to me by my father who used techniques like these for well, taking care of the house. And in this way the sacred guard's powers are reduced to 10% of their original power plus it was way comfier and more compact than I expected. Magna still seemed to be unresponsive which was weird.
The entire terrain seemed to be bordered with fogs. Even if I did try to go through the fog, it'd lead me right back to this town instead. By the time I'd finished analyzing the rocky terrain, it seemed everyone had gotten up and began their daily schedule. The adults doing random jobs, around the town while the children seemed to be playing around with each other but if they tended to stray towards the fog, the elders would rise up and scold them.
If I didn't know what was goin on, id have assumed this were a normal village. I checked out the map my mother had given me and surprisingly enough did wonder why my mom had marked the path going to this village. Ah, I guess this was the punishment she was speaking about, could be, could also be she forgot though I heavily doubt that.
Anyway, top priority was to deal with whatever was goin on here and get the hell outta here and also save these people and my daughter.
I walked towards the fog, and threw a rock through and unlike what I expected, it didn't come back at me. I tried firing a bit of my envelope energy through the fog and that didn't have any effect either. The fog didn't even split apart which probably meant this was a distortion of sorts. I'd need to know whether this is through space or time. If I did try to go through, I'd probably be eradicated by whatever's going on out there.
I decided to observe the condition on the inside. From my memories, the werewolves and the vampires were quite antagonized against each other and this was very weird seeing them not fight. I even saw children with traits of both clans. Some with long ears and long claws. Some looked normal but obviously it wasn't so. There was no telling how much time had actually passed in here for these people.
How did the vampires even survive without blood, where did they get their food from, how is this place even surviving, I had too many questions as usual. I was always branded a curious rat even in my past life. One too many barge in on noble rooms had left me with a reputation among them.
Anyway, I still had my gloves on my belt, one on each side so I can easily equip them, when necessary, I had my normal grey T-shirt with my quite oversized pants. Dad had to buy them in that way so they'd fit me when I did grow up. Magna still wasn't replying my beast call. Could be because of the distortion but not way of confirming. I tried calling up Valiero and that did have an effect. I sat at the border of the town where no one could see me or her. Valiero came and whispered in her tongue about the situation going on. Also never mind I do remember now that the barkeep had mentioned about the roots of Dionesium whatever those were had been making these guy's food and survival.
And the summary goes somewhat like this "apparently the two leaders of the clans Dionesium and Wolborg had actually fallen in love with each other but to maintain a façade, they couldn't reveal their matters to the world as they had no idea what the consequences would be either so it was buried. Though, after me and my brother had defeated the world and risen to the top, almost a majority of the realms had fallen to disorder and chaos. I was murdered after like a year or two. We were kind of like a gang who were terrorizing the world and I have no recollection of what had actually happened during those two years. Everything seemed like a blur. I rose our family's name along with my brother to the top of the world but along the way I had lost sight of why I was doing this. It was all for Mertiana and Calibria. Ah what a fucktard I was, anyway getting off topic, apparently the joining of the werewolf and vampire tribes was very close but the gods did not like that and decided to curse the lot. Quite the usual trope but how did this connect to the gods. The gods had made the vampire Dionesium a living source to exist and the wolf Wolberg nobody knows what happened to him but he had also suffered this cruel fate. The faeries very apparently ordered by the fairy king who was ordered by the gods to keep these guys in line. They had decided to isolate the entirety of these lands and had actually erased the path off the entirety of the world's memories but somehow in this map I'm seeing, the village was clearly marked and so something is obviously ain't right". That's how much as information Valerio could collect from the faeries blocking this village.
Well Fuck the gods, cuz I know how to deal with this entire situation but first I'd need to deal with the residents otherwise I could lose my life as I'm still too weak to face all of em, sure maybe I could defeat Riot but Mertiana seemed to care for him and as her father I'd need to evaluate the bastard who has her in his hands.
I'd also need to safeguard their exit or rather entrance into the world. From what I'd assume, these werewolves and vampires would be considered legendary or mythical demons as they will not have been seen in the world for at least like some 2 or 3 hundred years.
Hah, I'd probably need to fight the gods at this point as well(sarcastically foreshadowing moments).
I wasn't really keen on it but I will need to better build up my body and energy along with my comrades.
