In A Year

The Owlfest was going to start in a year, Raja who had learned that Drazon was going to be participating in it was going to use that opportunity for his youth clanmate to assassinate him. Raja will have his clans team up with the hog and eagle clans so that way they can all join hands together to bully him in the tournament and try to at least kill him. 

Raja was excited about this because he did not want to go into another war which would cost him lives. Raja would personally train these rookies to kill for the Owlfest this year. All the clans had been given out instructions that it will take place in a special world which the owl clan had created and put in a lot of experiments that had gone bad. 

A lot of beasts were located there and it was like its own special world and each clan would have 10 people that could join. Every clan was excited about this and couldn't wait to participate in this year's fest for the rewards. They had multiple fruits, rare techniques and rare weapons all made from the owl clan. They also had rare herbs in that world that could be used as herbs for medicine.

Another rule that they had come up with was that killing was allowed which shocked everybody because that was not the case for the previous fest, even though some creatures died as it was sometimes by accident. Being killed on purpose made everybody get nervous for this tournament but King Raja was excited as now he had an excuse to kill Drazon. 

Queen Sassy was a little worried as she thought of Raja and how Drazon would be the only Dragon participating in this fest. If King Spar could reassure her that the Scorpion clan youth will have Drazon's she would feel much better about letting Drazon go. Queen Sassy made a meeting with King Spar to discuss this. King Spar told Sassy if Drazon cannot look after himself at the fest he shouldn't go. 

Queen Sassy knew Drazon needed a lot of resources to get stronger and get revenge so Queen Sassy begged King Spar until he accepted as he called his Kingsguard to relay the message to the scorpion youths that were going to the fest. Queen Sassy thanked King Spar a lot, as one of her worries had gone to the past.  

The worm clan and the vulture clan will also be participating so she had nothing to worry about as they were just teaming up to fend off any dangers. Drazon who watched all this happening honestly don't care and wanted to get revenge against the Phoenix clan not for his people but just trying to kill him. 

Drazon thought that if he ever caught them within the fest he would kill them and eat them. Drazon started drooling at the thought of having Phoenix meat he quickly shook his head away from it. Gina had organized the training camp as they were going to go to a cave called The Sealed Cave of The Dead. 

For this training session, the rookies were going to be doing their training in the sealed cave. The sealed cave has been around for hundreds of years, in the beginning, it was home to a few harmless creatures that didn't like the sun or the heat of the desert until the owl clan put a virus-infected creature in there by accident causing the creatures to mutate into the undead. 

The scorpion clan and other clans used it as a training ground to sharpen their young clan's skills due to the danger that came with it. A lot of the clans died in the sealed cave and whenever they died they came back to life as undead to add on to the undead creatures in the cave making them grow in numbers, and whenever an undead was created the sealed undead King would grow stronger. 

They had a weakness which was not being able to see but had a great hearing and they would melt under the sunlight which was why they stayed in the cave at all times. They had a lvl 8 undead King who was as big as a single-family home, slow as a turtle and strong as a giant. The undead King was located deep within the cave, sealed away but the seal had grown weaker over the years as the undead King was able to influence the weaker undead to attack the seal from the outside. 

No one knew what was happening in the cave as they thought the seal was strong enough to hold the undead King in his prison but they never thought that the outside of the seal would be tempered with. King was able to communicate with his captains which he secretly trained from inside his seal as they watched over the rest of the weaker undead. These captains were level 4 and had a little bit more intelligence than the grunts. 

Queen Sassy was a little bit hesitant when she thought of Drazon going into the cave but then she remembered that the undead king had been sealed a long time ago so there was no danger to Drazon who was almost a level 4. The grunt undead was only between a level one and two and she knew the captains were a level 3 from the information that she had gotten. 

Nobody knew that the captains had advanced to a level 4 so they continued to allow their rookies to train in the cave. Queen Sassy knew of the captains but Gina reassured her that the captains never show up as they are located near the seal. Nobody knew that the undead had been acting strangely this year and the captains were also extremely active since the seal was almost undone. 

The captains had been attacking it for quite some time now and were almost done destroying it, due to the wear and tear on the seal. Soon it would be shattered allowing the undead King to once again come out from his entrapment. The undead King was so strong that it was able to summon storms which were a hefty scale being that his weakness with sunlight blocking off the sun during the day was something that not a lot of creatures could do and with that skill, he would be able to come out of the cave and get revenge on the world.

There are causes worth dying for, but none worth killing for.
