Unnamed

After the night that I visited the harpy(as I called) tribes i sleep like a log, strangely i didn't have a single dream. I really want to meet that person, he may be all the reason why all this things happened in the first place.

But , sadly I need to take a hold of myself and strive for my safety and happiness. For that I need to achieve my first goal ; which is safety. So i decided to pay a visited to another beast-human villages which is hidden deep inside the Gard forest between the Gard mountain and Kale Kingdom,but is more near towards the Gard mountain. As i thought about it , what pique my interest is that 'why did all these tribes and animal have their settlement near the Gard mountain?? Maybe because it is safer and no human cross near it's vicinity except in the east where the harpy tribe made their settlement high in the cliff . But that's just me being a scholar??

So I'm on my way towards the north where beast-human villages are. When i arrive there , i landed on the widest street or plaza where a statue of a black dragon is placed which is around ten feet in height. Many people or should I say beast people gather around me and more people seems to keep appearing. As when things start to go south a beast-person with fox tail and ear come forward and as the people makes way for her she seems to be a high ranking person. She bow her head and talk with a formal tone and said " What blessings did we deserve to be visited by the great Dragon ?? Everybody bow before the great Dragon which granted us protection since ancient times". With that everybody bow before me as I stood there dumbfounded.

The fox lady escort me to her mansion and among the crowd I can see many people with different animals trait , while some people's are pure animals like there are some with human features like face , hand and legs. My escort -cum-host introduced herself as the Mayor and advisor of the unified Fiefdom of the beastmen which is made up of five town with four of them having population around ten thousand and the middle which is in the middle of all the other town boast around fifty thousand population. Sherke as she introduced her name said that she dispatched messenger to the capital and other town to relayed the message that the ruler of the mountain came to visit the Fiefdom of the beastmen.

She lead me to her living room and as my form isn't very suitable for chair : i sat in the couch as she serves some pie and inform me of the Fiefdom as i requested. As i mentioned before the Fiefdom is made up of five town and each town is ruled by one of the five great beastmen with different abilities. Sherke is excel in strategy and she managed a city which produces scholar and food such as fruit and vegetables. The other four are managed by bear type beastmen who boast strong physique, snake like beastmen who is excellent in medicine and jackal like beastmen who is a genius in magic. The capital is occupied by the king who has tiger Trait and she is called Sakie.

The beastmen are not very friendly with the human because in the past they are persecuted and treated as a slave for entertainment, gladiators, farming, sex slaves etc because of their tenacity, beauties and strength. They must have faced extinction if not for the great founding Dragon who rescue them and give them a land in the mountain where the Founding dragon himself resides. They didn't venture outside of the Gard forest which is as huge as modern day Sahara desert, for around 400 years. So most humans thought them to be extinct and just called them as myth and are told to children as just Stories. And as the forest is full of many dangerous animals most human don't wander inside the forest from the existing path which is made by the founder of the Kale Kingdom, so unless some unlucky explorers spotted them no one is lucky enough to tell the tale as the beastmen keep capturing and kept them in the vicinity of their town for observation, so no one knows the existence of the beastmen.

As I ate in silence Sherke keeps inform me up to date . The lifespan of beastmen are around 200 to 300 years and currently Sherke is around 100 years , all those information are passed down from her mother who witnessed the great things done by their rescuer and other things.

She talk a lot despite being advisor, but that means that she trust and respect me. So as i waited for the other three great beastmen and their king I told her about what is going on in the outside world and what I intended to do and wanted them to do. She said she support my thoughts but before she informed to the people she must first report this to the King. And so we wait for their arrival.
