Chapter 78

Ember chimed in, "And father, while the fire mountain is undoubtedly advantageous, the area I'm supposed to occupy might not be suitable for our clan's survival. What if we secure a territory with abundant resources first and use it as a base for launching expeditions to the fire mountain, ensuring the safety and sustainability of our people?"

Ikem listened attentively, considering their perspectives. After a thoughtful pause, he replied, "Your concerns are valid, and I appreciate your input. Let's revise the plan, taking into account your suggestions. Zephyr, establish the central hub as you proposed, allowing for swift communication. Ripple, focus on creating a specialized task force for quick response, maintaining the flexibility of your clan. Ember, prioritize securing a resource-rich territory first before venturing to the fire mountain. Together, we can refine our strategy and ensure the prosperity and security of our kingdom."

The three nodded in agreement, appreciative of the collaborative effort to enhance the initial plan.

Ikem knocked on his head like he just thought of something " I haven't asked yet but I hope you all have broken through to the third stage as for all this plan to be implemented, you all are needed to be of a certain strength"

Ember, Ripple and Zephyr said nothing but release the mana deep in their newly formed core, obviously showing that they have broken through.

Ikem nodded as he stood up and stretched from his throne. " Enough of this serious talk, I believe things had been sorted out outside, we should go join the Family for dinner"

"Finally, I was starting to get tired from all this seriousness" Zephyr said as he bounced out from his seat as he ran out from the palace.

Maul, the imposing king of the werewolves, stood in the icy hall of his new fortress, addressing one of his trusted elders, Grendan, with a nod of gratitude. "Grendan, your map of the northern icy continent has proven invaluable. Thanks to your guidance, we've found a suitable place to rebuild our kingdom, far from the human settlement."

Grendan, with his snow-white fur and wise eyes, dipped his head respectfully. "It is an honor to serve you, my king. This part of the northern territory provides not only a harsh and secure environment needed for us but also abundant resources for our kin."

" Possibly, as this problem is much closer to us than the possibility of what the humans can do" Wulv said with a distressed face.

" This started after we moved to the this new settlement, I was out on a hunt with the men when a huge shadow with wings flew past us, at first i thought it was just the normal snow eagle but the shadow cast over us was too big for it to be an eagle, also the stormy weather made it hard to see the shadow figure"

" I had to tell the men to fall back and as I was the only celestial Initiate there, I went after the shadow alone, on my tracking of the shadow, I came to notice that this shadow was definitely not the snow eagle as this one bears a tail following behind it"

"My suspicion was confirmed when during my tracking of the shadow led me to a group of those troublesome snow bears, when a huge with claw from the sky grabbed onto one of the bears with ease. As I was watching from a distance, I was able to get a glimpse of the creature and I have never seen such a beautiful powerful creature father. Its scales are adorned with frost, but also composed of crystalline ice that refracts light in a mesmerizing display of blues and whites. This majestic creature seems to calm the blizzards at will and exhales an icy breath from its nose with every breath. Eyes that sparkle like frozen sapphires, it has an ancient and regal demeanour to it, embodying the unforgiving beauty of the coldest landscapes"

A weird look came over Maul's face and the elders as they regarded Wulv who seemed lost in describing the dragon he saw, of course none of them knew it was a dragon. Maul cleared his throat which brought Wulv back from his fantasy.

" Sorry for the weird act, but once you all get a glimpse at this creature. You will all understand" Wulv said with a blush which is unnoticed from his black furred face. But his expression soon turned serious.

" That wasn't the end of my encounter with the creature after it took hold of the bear, a female voice soon appeared in my head saying this exact word " Have you seen enough young wolf, this should satisfy your curiosity"

" I looked around to see who was taking when soon i was a shadow covered my hiding place, I looked up to see the creature above me with the bear in hand" Wulv expression soon changed into one of horror.

" Being up-close to this creature, made me get a glimpse of its strength and I can safely say that its strength is a bit above you father, I could hardly move or speak in the creature presence, which seemed to amuse it because of the word it spoke right after"

" Relax young wolf, I am of no threat to you and your people" This was its exact word, Wulv said as he looked at his father. At the same them I also heard the creature whisper " I don't want the anger or sour feeling of an Origin goddess on my head"
