Chapter 1046 Amae (2)
As the group slowly docked on Amae, at a secret port belonging to Nan's tribe, Vicente, and Larissa had just finished listening to the last bit of critical information Nan could give them to pique their interest.
The Fairy Tribe, Amae's dominant force, behind the reception of individuals from lower planes on this island, had dominated Amae from the very beginning. While in the island's distant past, there were no disputes, since when the Nine Paths were partially destroyed, and the current order established, the situation has changed, with rivals emerging to take over the power on the island.
The current war in Amae was a few levels above the competition situation in Light Cay, where the forces had not reached the point of openly attacking each other. Specialists were hunting down potential specialists or even others of a similar level in Light Cay, but it was all happening in the dead of night, secretly. In Amae, the situation was escalating on several levels, with forces acting in broad daylight to suppress the Fairy Tribe.
While the Fairy Tribe was the strongest on Amae, the enemy had formed such a large coalition that even the oldest and most powerful tribe on the island had no chance of defeating them alone. As a result, the fairies' two biggest allies, the elves and the dwarves, joined in the current fight, which is why Nan had advisors from these races, and why Amae hadn't fallen to one of the fairies' rivals.
Nan knew her tribe was still standing. Even though she had left several years ago, she knew her people's situation very well.
She had an ability connected to her people, which had been weakened in recent years, but strengthened as she got closer to her homeland. Now that the group's ship was parked at the tribe's wooden port, she knew her people were still persevering and understood that this was probably because of the alliances and urgent actions initiated by her people years ago.
As she had already told Vicente, her people were led by mid-level Grand Magus, the strongest on their island. Their enemies were of the same level or lower, but he shouldn't compare these Grand Magus with those from Light Cay.
While the magical beings of Light Cay had developed artificial methods of cultivation and anchored themselves in their technologies, the forces of Amae were more traditional, focused on magic and largely dependent on the individual powers of their inhabitants.
Nan ended her speech by inviting Vicente and Larissa once again, clarifying that the Fairy Tribe would welcome them and that they would have many possibilities if they joined them in the war. Not only that, they could either join as internal members of the tribe and enjoy the rights and responsibilities of such members, or even support them as external allies. The tribe would help them in one way or another in exchange for their strength.
It was at this point that the ship docked and the captain sighed, giving permission for the crew to disembark.
Rex walked alongside the guards and carriage animals, while Vicente traveled with Larissa, Nan, the dwarf, and the elf of the group in the same vehicle.
There was no one around where they arrived, so Vicente took advantage of the absence of temporary problems to plan.
"By the way, where do I find creatures with indigo and violet pentagrams on your island?" he asked the trio in front of him.
The elf said, "Do you want pentagrams for your two magical forms? I warn you, it won't be a good idea to hunt for your second power here. As much as we have good options for the light element, the island won't be the best place for you to hunt for that kind of pentagram.
Light is a rare element, after all. Even on our island, there aren't many magical creatures with indigo pentagrams, so violet will be almost impossible to find here."
"I just want the pentagram for my other magical form," Vicente replied, already aware that he would have to go to an island with Sorcerers if he wanted a violet pentagram.
The dwarf smiled and said, "In that case, it might be interesting for you to visit my tribe. We dwarves have a great affinity with elements such as fire, earth, and lightning. Because of this, we live in areas rich in these elements, where you'll find creatures such affinities.
But it's the same situation as Garnot said. Violet pentagrams are rare on our island. If you want a good indigo pentagram, we can get you one. But violet, I'm afraid this isn't the place for it."
"Hmm, indigo is fine for now," Vicente said, keen to first get to know the type of creature in this domain and see if he could find any good skills.
He wasn't in a hurry, so he carried on without a decision on the matter, although he promised Hervi that he would go to the Dwarf Tribe.
And so began their journey through Amae!
