While most of the people fled when hearing the words that the Shadow Unit was here for the Evergraze Clan, some of the older members along with the many brave youths wished to see things play out as the Emperor did not say they were here to destroy the Evergraze Clan.
If they were not here to destroy them then what did that mean?
They stayed here to watch and find out, as they lingered on they watched the Dragon Emperor greet Empress Elise who personally brought the Unit here she then escorted the Emperor and his guest away.
Leaving behind most of the Unit, the only person not wearing a mast among the many troops of the Shadow Unit many if not all people knew her as one of the aids working under the Intelligence department in the Military.
Kate was seen talking to the Evergraze Clan Leader.
"Greetings SunFlower I am unsure if you know who I am but just in case, I am Kate one of the three Commanders of the Shadow Unit.
We have looked into your Clans history and found out that you were a branch of the Blood Sun Royal Family, well that you were trained as assassins and shadows for the once rulers of Blood Sun long ago.
Dashnell wishes to continue that, so as long as you agree we will take in your entire Clan into the Shadow Unit giving you full control over it.
As for Elise, Laura and myself we will still be leaders it is just that you will just be able to base the Shadow unit anywhere within the Empire and recruit new blood to be personally trained by you and your Clan.
As for the chain of command we can work that out after you agree, if you do not wish to join the shadow unit we have another deal for you, would you like to hear it SunFlower?"
Stuned for a moment Sunflower looked at the pale faces of all your Clan members she brought with her today, only the Elders knew of their past that was once tied to the Blood Sun Royal Family.
She did not know how information leaked as anyone who talked about this secret would die upon uttering words that revealed anything about their lineage.
She then thought back to how those of the Dragon Empire are not from this Realm and may have some way to gain information she is unaware of.
"I ...." Thinking for a moment she looks Kate in the eyes, what she sees is death hidden behind a smile but she knows Kate will not kill her or wipe out her Clan or they would have done it long ago.
"I wish to hear all that you have come to tell me today Empress"
With a slight bow Sunflower was ready for whatever came her way, the Evergraze Clan lived past the tragedy that wiped out the Blood Sun Empire they were strong enough to endure again if needed.
Kates next words caused those still within listening to bleed of envy, some of the nearby females started to yell about wanting to join the Shadow Unit to please take them in.
"The Emperor was present long ago when we first moved our armies to invade the Evergraze Empire and at first we found it strange that your entire Clan was Female, he wanted to take control over your Empire even more after find that out but was stopped.
After learning about how you operate we watched your Clan for the past few decades to see what you would do, would you try to stab Dashnell in the back or hunt down his children.
When you did neither we his wives decided to test a few of you and that's when we learned of your past.
Forgive us for taking a few of your Clan Elders, they are fine we only took a look at their memories, before releasing them. They could not return to the Clan as it would have given us away so we had them be part of the Shadow Unit since they are skilled assassins, after all it was best we put them to use.
Oh forgive me for rambling the Emperor wishes to have the entire Evergraze Clans single and unmarried women enter his harem and work under Empress Samara, so Sunflower which do you choose?"
Her words were playing back into everyone's minds yet again.
The most shocking part was not the Emperor's lust for the Evergraze Clans members as each of them were flawless beauties it was just that no one knew they were a deadly Clan of female assassins.
What shocked them was the Shadow unit falling under Control of one of the Fallen Clans, lets not forget about the ability to gain the memories of a person without killing them how many Major Powers could wield such power?
Newfound fear was birthed today as many wished to never have the eyes of the Shadow Unit look at them, they were also worried that their memories were also looked at by the Emperor.
"I want to see her! Please bring the Elders you mentioned to me before I make a decision."
When the crowd heard her words some cursed her under their breath for not agreeing already others were unable to put themselves in her position, would they ask about their Clan members or jump at the chance of power that was just offered to them.
As everyone was waiting for Kate to answer a massive shadow rift opened up and Trish who they all feared walked out of it.
When she walked up to Clan Leader Sunflower and slightly bowed everyone no longer knew what to think, they just witnessed to many shocking things today they were going numb.
"Trish where are the other Elders? Where is my sister? When we found out you were apart of the Emperor's personal guard unit we thought you betrayed the Clan and you never tried to contact us in the last 30 years. Why?"
Trish looked at her Clan Leader with a bright smile, not worried about a care in the world.
She wanted to do her part and return to a certain someone's side.
"I was forbidden from all contact with the Clan, as you know our Clan has a one Master vow and I have already found my Master.
As for Veronica she is also here today, look into the crowd of Shadow Units you should be able to find a few of our Clan members, once you agree or not you can talk to them afterwards.
We won't be returning to the Clan as we have Taken Dashnell as our Master."
Sunflower backed up a few steps it was indeed true that everyone from the Clan would choose only one Master to serve after a vow. That vow was the reason everyone from the Clan was female, as they would take their Master as their husband.
She looked behind Kate and Trish to spot a short but firm standing girl covered in the Shadow Units pitch black armor while wearing a mask. She wished to speak to her sister but knew she had to answer the question of whether or not to serve the Emperor or join under Empires Shadow Unit.
"All of our Clan members are here today, did you plan this? No... It is to late for that I will talk with the Clan and we will give you our answer in a few moments Empress Trish, Empress Kate."
After bowing to the two Sunflower walked back towards the members of her clan, Kate and Trish just stood there and smiled.
Trish then opened up a rift and left leaving Kate to handle things alone, as for those still spectating they were spreading the news of how the Evergraze Clan was about to ascend again.
The Clan watched Trish leave and then before their eyes some of the mask dropped from the faces of a few Shadow Unit members.
When they saw their Clan members were fine Sunflower and the rest of the Elders quickly knew they were being absorbed and nothing would stop it even a no was not enough.
Seems the Emperor was tired of waiting for something he had long desired.
Walking over Sunflower and the entire Evergraze Clan bowed to Kate and announced publicly that they will gladly accept both becoming the ruling Clan in Control of the Shadow Unit as well as becoming the Emperor's women.
As none of the current members of the Clan have chosen a Master to serve, everyone in the Clan knew the Emperor was aware of such information.
....
A few hours before the arrival of the Demon Empress Laura arrived at a spatial gate that sealed half an entire Realm.
This place was none other than the Demon Clans prison.
She was sent to scout out the location and see what the formation on the Seal was, as she was probing the Seal she was recording the runes and symbols to bring them back to be analyzed by those in charge of the Research Department.
Everything was going well she arrived within this Realm long ago, this Realm was next to the Mortal Realm and it was also near the Teress Realm.
After learning how to cross the Void space between Realms She was given this mission by Samara to check out whether the Current strength of the Dragon Empire was enough to fight those that Sealed away the powerful Demon race inside a closed off world.
What she found frightened her but she still moved silently and tried her best to never be discovered.
It was no wonder the Demon Clan felt nothing when they found out the Dashnell was only within the Void Realm.
Good thing that Demon Princess was to weak and could not tell that he was not yet within the Void realm, even as someone within the Void Realm Laura herself could not tell how strong he was only that everytime they 'trained' she would find herself at his mercy before he rushed at her with lust in his eyes.
As she was finishing the recording a sudden blinding light shot out at her, she reacted fast enough to dodge the attack.
She then watched at it was obliterated by the Seal vanishing as if it was never sent, looking up she saw a strange group of creatures that resemble humans but she knew them as one of the Major powers within this Realm.
These creatures belong to the Lantar Realms Shadow race, a superpower that controls most of this Realm along side two others.
"What bring you to the Lantar Realm! We have been watching you ever since you entered this Realm, not many beings possess the power to cross the void those that do are always watched for a period of time until they are proven to be of no threat to the Lantar Realm.
So what did those damnable Demon Clan members promise your Master? You were hard to track I'll admit but we found out your goal and waited for you to show up here, nearly a year later here you are just as we expected.
We know you are just a servant and we will not gain much information out of you but you will never be leaving this Realm.
Surrender and we will extract what little information you have and just imprison you or resist and die here as we extract the information from your corpse."
