"It seems everything went well?" Faana asked as she yawned. She was quite tired after sitting around for so long.
"You can say that. Anyway, we are going to make our announcement now." Mina wanted to finish things quickly and go home. She did not want to stick around any longer. If the Tyrant Fairy wanted to go, he could as well, but he would have to change his ways. He would no longer be able to be a tyrant.
While both the elven clan and the fairy clan were getting ready to move to Destiny City, Grace sat in her chair, looking at the two people in front of her. "So the reglios are planning something?"
"Mmmm!" Nanaya walked over to a chair and sat down. She was not one to care about some mortal's rules. She even picked up the plate of snacks that was sitting in front of Grace and began eating them. "My clansman here did not know all the details, which is why I came to explain a few things to make sure you understood the graveness of the situation.
"From what my Sister Tina tells me, this world had a concept called hell, am I correct?" Nanaya asked.
"Yes. There used to be many religions before the apocalypse happened." Grace replied. She did not seem angry that her cream puffs, which took a lot of effort to make, were stolen from her. But internally, she was screaming for Nanaya to be beheaded. Of course, she could feel that Nanaya was not someone she could anger, so she held her inner thoughts in.
"Well, you can think of it as that. But it is not called hell but the underworld. It is just as the stories of hell explain, but it is not some cesspool where bad souls go. It is where all souls must go. It is a place where you also take the trial to become a god or goddess. But in the general sense, it is where you go after your mortal body is unable to continue on. But the survival rate of a soul in that place is little to none. Only the lucky few will be able to escape having their souls eaten by the devils." Nanaya explained.
"I see… and the reglios are actually called keegs and are trying to open the gates of the underworld. And because of their ambitions, they have already begun making their moves. The dragonic were forced to retreat and are now residing in Destiny City. Their next target will be one of the other established clans, so you are asking us to move our people to Destiny City as well. Is what I am saying correct?" Grace asked.
"Yes. While the numbers you have here in this city are not much, it is enough for you to be targeted. After all, the number of souls needed to open the gates of the underworld is great. Sooner or later, you will be targeted even if you are targeted last. But we will not force you to come. My husband is only requesting that you make the right decision for your people. Unlike the other clans and tribes of this world that will be forced to relocate no matter what due to their numbers, your people are not enough to make too much of a dent. So even if you all die, it will not matter." Nanaya only repeated what Lillia had said to her before she came here.
Originally the dragonic that was sent out was only coming here to relay a message. But now that things had changed and they knew more details, it was better for Nanaya to come and explain things since she could easily travel to each location. She was actually heading to the beastkin clan after this.
Grace's brow furrowed. From Nanaya's words just now, it seemed they were only offering them a means of safety out of courtesy. She knew why this was as well. It was because she and her people enslaved the demi humans. Grace peered over at her wife, who was busing herself with learning how to read and write, and sighed. She knew the reglios were up to something, but she did not think it was something this grand. It was hard to believe, but she could not take the risk. She did not want any harm to come to her wife. "We will make the move, but we will need time to prepare."
"That is fine. My clansman will be here to help relay any information that is needed. I already gave her a means of contacting me. Once you are ready, let her know. But remember, if you or anyone here causes her any trouble, I will destroy this entire city. My husband is a softy when it comes to things, but I am not. I will protect everything he wishes to protect, even if it means killing tens of thousands. I must be off. I am needed soon on many fronts." Nanaya tilted her head to the side and smiled at Grace before looking at the dragonic girl next to her and nodding before disappearing from her seat. All the cream puffs on the tray were taken away as well.
Grace wanted to scream when she saw the cream puffs were also taken! She had not even eaten a single one of them! With a long sigh, she looked at the dragonic girl and said: "You will stay here for now. If you need anything, just ask Tobie. She is my wife and has the same authority as me. I will go hold a meeting to see how many of my people are willing to go."
Grace knew this was not going to go well with the other higher ups, but she did not care. She would use her current authority and make an announcement to the entire city once the meeting was over. She knew after she made the last two new laws that those who helped her run the city were not happy, especially now that a demi human was above them.
