People

Four people dressed in animal fur could be seen on the hill. Two people were holding stone swords and two were holding some sticks, from which you could feel the magical energy.

It was August with his wife Gloria and on the opposite side was Kira with her husband Vazir. These four represented two powerful tribes of people. Some advocated conquests and continued exploration of lands, while others advocated internal development and comprehension of existing resources.

The dispute had already reached the point when the two tribes wanted to fight each other. On the hill, the tension grew and one could even feel mana accumulating around these four people, ready to transform into an element at any moment and attack the opposite side.

The fight was already ready to start until a fifth person ran up to these four people. He was young, born less than 50 years ago, which was nothing for the age of higher people.

"Mr. August and Mrs. Kira, trouble. Animals with 1 tail were found in the border zone."

Hmm, August grunted in disdain at this news and said. "Just a herd of pitiful beasts with one tail. You're not one of the bravest in the younger generation if you're shaking like that. "

Unlike August, Kira was calm and decided to clarify. "The problem is not that they have 1 tail, so what scared you so much?"

A young man named Ghalib quickly pulled himself together and explained. "Mr. August, Mrs. Kira, there are thousands of them and they are led by an animal with 1 one tail, but instead of the usual tails of animals that average from 1 to 5 meters. This beast's tail reaches a length of 15 meters and the magicians at the borders report that the magical energy from this beast is so overwhelming that they are afraid that the borders will be broken in the coming hours."

August's expression quickly changed from contempt to tension and even a little fright. Kira also tensed up from this news and quickly said, "Let the people from the borders slowly retreat and leave magical traps along the way. Also, tell all the tribes to gather at the Harpy Pass. There we will meet the horde."

The Passage of the Harpies or the mountain Flying Pass is a place where flying creatures once lived, which were refined in the magic of wind and darkness. At night they plundered the nearest tribes and trade caravans that passed through this mountain pass.

So it was until the two main tribes united and destroyed the nests of these harpies. Forced them to settle much higher in the mountains, where they were already hunted by wyverns and flying beasts with three pairs of dragon wings and 8 eyes like spiders. They had only two hind legs, but from the tail, they could release a net of extremely acidic material and then suck in all the prey with their giant mouths.

Creepy creatures, but they didn't live near the ground, as they didn't have enough magic in the air.

When he heard Kira's order, the young Ghalib bowed low and ran away to give orders. Meanwhile, August came to his senses and said. "Come on, we need to prepare the tribe, otherwise we may completely die out."

His wife nodded and conjured the winds for their speedy return.

Meanwhile, Kira looked at her husband, who had already focused on the elements in the air and natural energy.

"The message was true, a wave of animals is coming in our direction. If we don't prepare the mountain crossing in advance for the battle, we may have high losses."

Kira nodded in gratitude to Vazir and began to think about how it would be possible to reduce losses and cope with this situation.

Meanwhile, Ghalib quickly gave the order to the front and began transmitting messages to all the nearby tribes.

Until he found himself in his own house, where he quickly found the headman and reported to him about the impending danger.

"Haaa looks like the favor of the gods is over for us. My boy, hard, dark times are waiting for us and you will have to be strong to survive them."

Ghalib nodded at the headman's teachings while he took his magic staff and called everyone to gather in the center of the tribe.

"Go Ghalib, see your mom. This may be your last meeting."

Ghalib quickly ran out of the headman's tent and ran to his home. At home, a woman stirred a pot of cooking meat and vegetables on the fire. It looked like some kind of cooking misunderstanding, but a high density of magical and natural energy could be felt from the pan. Which is incredibly useful for improving the body and abilities of magicians.

The woman turned to the man running in quickly and smiled.

"Sit down, Ghalib, it will be possible to eat soon. I was lucky and I was able to get 2 tailed animals and a couple of herbs with high natural energy today. With this, you will break through soon. "

Ghalib smiled at his mother, but still sadly said that there would soon be an animal tide and they had to collect.

The woman smiled sadly, closed the pot, and sealed it with earth magic so that nothing would spill.

"Keep it for yourself Ghalib, you are still young and as soon as the animal tide is over we will be able to eat this food together. "

Ghalib shed tears while his mother wiped them away with a sad smile and sent her son to a safe place. She took out an exquisite sword herself, which was soaked in the blood of more than one beast and tempered by it.

She took out a strong hide, on which more than one animal with one tail will not even be able to leave a scratch, and went towards the gathering place to protect their species from the impending tide.
