15 Meeting (1)

"Who told you that story?" said Cesar with a pale face. His response was enough for everyone to understand that it was all true.

"My mother, who else? My master backed her up, since she had already spotted Lea and was going to groom her as her disciple. You are all so narrow minded and to that, add the fact that you're all blinded by the big walls. You all think they can protect you forever, but that is just wishful thinking. My master could cut your big walls with a swift swing of her sword as if they were made out of butter and even she has monsters she doesn't dare to take on" said Leon as he sipped tea with his eyes closed.

"Where is your Master right now boy?" asked the Hwa family head. She was a neat looking woman, with a nice air to her. She looked extremely gentle. The Hwa family always dealt with the sick people in Kyus. They had clinics and they also rented fields from the Boer family in order to grow different kind of herbs.

"My master is busy trying to warn the other cities" said Leon with a calm face. He knew this was huge news for this people, but he wasn't sure if they would believe him. "Not only is she warning other cities, she is also doing what we are doing here, trying to help them develop and grow stronger for what lies ahead".

"There are other cities? How come we never knew that?" said the Daener family head with shock on his face.

"Well, ask yourself this. How far have you gone into the forest? You guys have no knowledge about it at all. You only know that there are dangerous animals and beasts lurking outside and that the resources are good there. That's it, isn't it? Then why do you sound so surprised? Humans are weak, but they're the most sociable animals and are really strong when they're united. Many human cities have risen and some live without walls around them, full of people as strong as us".

"We can't believe that, but we don't see a reason as to why you'd lie to us, so we can only assume you're not explaining all behind this issue. You've never said what is wrong in the first place", said the Boer family head.

"Because we haven't reached that point yet. If you all want to know what is wrong, then I will be short and concise about it. A huge wave of monsters will move around the forest in different directions, different beasts and monsters are grouping up despite of being different races and all. Herbivorous and carnivorous animals live in peace and move around together. Things are weird and my master prepared herself for all this. Too bad only my brothers and I were her disciples. It seems that she is pretty concerned about Kyus city more than the other cities since she sent us here". Leon didn't know why their master sent them to Kyus while there were cities that needed as much help as them too.

"Okay, with that out of the way. We want to give you the option to join us, or oppose us once more. This time, we will properly explain ourselves. We want Kyus city to be united, or else all of you will perish under the attack of the beasts. It's not like we will grab your 'knowledge' and give it away for free. We will introduce advanced techniques to those that join us. In fact, we will help with the recollection of better ores and better food. We will train people from the families that join us and make them as strong as we can before the beasts arrive. Our master is the person that gave my mother and us a new chance at life and we respect her a lot. We will not give up on this order of saving Kyus. We can't afford to wait for you people to decide either. Time is not on our side either"

"Okay, what do you think we should do then?" said the Zidar family head. As soon as he heard about better ores, he decided to support these youngsters. He was obsessed with smithing the best armor and weapons after all.

"We have around a year to train people in defense. Not only those that have abilities as a warrior can fight, we have many ways to fight and we will use them all" said Leon with a smirk on his face.
