Chapter 55: Dennar and Moor

"It was supposed to be me if you didn't accept my offer. Ono, you are the strongest of our tribe, I have watched you since you were little. You can do this, but be cautious"

"Yes, chief..."

In the middle of the night, Ono ventured off to the other side of the island. He was determined to wake their apostle in order to save their dying tribe.

....

"Now that concludes our tour. "

"Your tribe is amazing! I'll even send my little brothers to your school, and Umm maybe you can teach us new knowledge about this forest."

"Of course, it would be an honor to help the children of the goddess Lux.."

Lerak and Krag were going back to their tribe, They have been away for a few hours and the two siblings knew that many of their fellow Beastmen were waiting for them.

The two siblings were holding two baskets filled with delicacies gifted by the ogre tribe chief, Hnung.

The gift was a tray of meat that they had cooked, and the other one was called juice made from fruits.

"They're nice aren't they Lerak? They even gifted us this yummy food!"

Lerak nodded in response to Krag. The two were being escorted home by Vine.

"Hey, everyone we're back!"

"Big brother! You're finally back! I'm hungry!"

"Yeah, we know, we bought some food for everyone to eat!"

"Woah!"

The other rhinoceros glanced at the small creature with Lerak and Krag.

"Oh everyone this is Vine the champion of the Ogre tribe!"

"Ogre tribe?"

Suddenly the rhinoceros woman's stomach grumbled.

"Oh right, first let's eat!"

Lerak and Krag put down the food as they immediately opened the first basket they were enveloped by the scent.

"It smells so good!"

"It does doesn't it?"

The women immediately gulped hard eating the food. Meanwhile, Vine saw that they were eating left quietly.

"Big brother, who was that? And what's with this champion thingy?"

"That little guy may look weak but he's strong and is even called the champion of the ogre village. Anyways, we met these cool and kind ogres living inside the forest!"

Everyone flinched hearing Krag.

"Umm, Krag are we going to leave again?"

"What no! The ogre tribe even told us that they were going to help us with our tribe and even gave us these yummy treats!"

The others were still unresponsive. They were wary of the so-called ogres living inside the forest.

Lerak tapped on Krag's shoulder to stop him from scaring the others. Lerak began to narrate the whole story to the others.

....

Meanwhile Ono was heading to the cave. He had reached the huge cave and steadied his breathing, Ono jumped inside the cave. Immediately his body started to change, on his neck, three gills appeared from each side.

Ono's feet started to merge and became a tail, on Ono's back a fin appeared, Ono's elbows also had fins and his hands became webbed.

He had claws on his hands and a fish-like tail.

Ono's basket started to light. Ono took out a small cube shaped from his basket. It was a sea lantern created by luminous shells. Ono held his basket and took out the map.

Ono began to use his tails and started to dive deeper inside the cave. It was dark, and his eyes were highly sensitive to the dark. But Ono kept on moving, suddenly as he kept on diving, Ono could feel numerous currents on each side of the cave.

Stretching the cube, Ono could see small holes and even bigger ones in the cave. Ono tried his best in moving and dodging the potential currents. But he came to a stop when a huge and powerful current stood in front of him.

"Alright, this will be tricky.."

Ono knew he was getting closer to the apostle due to the map. He knew he couldn't stop now, and as such Ono swam a bit further and readied himself.

'Now!'

Whoosh!

Ono swam with all his strength, he had trouble moving due to the strong current but Ono kept on moving his hands and tail.

'I must reach the other side!'

Clang

Suddenly, Ono glanced at the basket, it began to be sucked by the vortex. Ono lost his strength, he couldn't find the apostles without the map. And in that second, Ono was dragged inside the vortex of the current.

"No!"

.....

Meanwhile, the angels were currently teaching the humans. The three small children had a fun time playing with the humans, It was their first time stepping into the world as such they became excited.

Kira was doing well in her management, the humans have created their homes and even learned how to hunt.

Not only that but they have gotten used to their wings. The three children would always use their wings while playing, and even Kira got accustomed to it.

At first, she had trouble since the wings were huge, and she couldn't fully control them. But after some tries, Kira can now fully control and utilize the wings. She has also helped some of the men in hunting to teach them.

"Apostle, what do you think of these new clothes we had made?"

Kira glanced at the clothing of the female human and she nodded her head in response.

"I think it's beautiful..."

Kira knew that one day she will leave the tribe, as such she must utilize the time she is given to help this tribe to survive.

"Tehehe catch me, Vivi!"

"That's not fair Jun!"

"Hey wait up!"

Kira also feels joyous seeing her three little children, she was always guilty when the children died. She had blamed herself for not letting them enjoy the wonders of the world.

But right now, the goddess has given her children a chance to set foot in the world. Thus Kira would let the children play to their heart's content.

"Don't venture too far!"

"Ok, Momma!"

....

"You have everything you need Callidus?"

"I have everything I need right here!"

Callidus was going with the Grizzly tribe. Callidus was even crying while hugging the others, meanwhile, Aaron said his goodbyes to the other children reluctantly.

The little girl that Aaron had bumped into and became friends with was the one who was heavily crying.

After saying their goodbyes the grizzly tribe and Callidus had begun their journey.

Aaron was reluctant on leaving, especially after making friends. But he knew he had to leave, and as such he bid his farewells filled with sadness.

"Aaron don't be that sad, one day you'll visit them"

Aaron glanced at his big sister.

"Can I big sis?"

"Of course!"

Meanwhile, Callidus's eyes were puffy, he had been crying nonstop. Dux, Fortis, Lenta, and Celer were the ones who were with him ever since he arrived in this world.

As such saying goodbye to his friends brought immense pain in his heart. The others were also crying saying their goodbyes.

"I can't wait to see your tribe Marelda!"

Marelda smiled in response to Callidus.

"Haha, I'm sure you will love it there!"

...

Meanwhile, on a certain tribe in the savannah.

"So they left?"

"Yes, chef they have..."

"Good.."

The young chief dismissed his vassals.

Suddenly a man with long yellow hair, and scars on his cheek, barged inside his home.

"Moor! What have you done?!"

"Dear brother, what do you mean?"

"You! You know what I mean! How could you do that?! How could you break the treaty?!"

Moor, brushed his brother's hands away from his throat.

"If you do that one more time, I will have you punished. I'm not that insignificant little brother of yours, I am now the chief of our tribe. That's why I demand you to respect me.."

"Respect? You ask for respect when you didn't even respect fathers orders?!"

"You don't understand, you have been away for a year already. While you were training like a goddamn muscled head I was busy protecting the tribe from them!"

"Protect? You weren't protecting them you were being a coward! Scared of their prowess that's why you attacked them first! How could you do that?! The treaty exists for a reason!"

"And what did you want me to do? Sit still and wait until they make the first move?! Brother, father was foolish in thinking that peace will exist in these lands. The day the goddess had spawned ten creations in this place she knew what was about to happen!"

"And what's that?! Purging will happen?!"

"Exactly, this is a race for survival brother. If we waited, then they would have attacked us first. I only did that for the tribe! This is a game of survival! The weakest tribe dies! While the strongest ones live!"

"But that doesn't give you the right to do that to them! Lerak was a friend! Krag was my brother-in-arms! We used to play together with them when we were kids...how could you toss aside our friendship?!"

"We were kids, brother, foolish, stupid, we were unaware of the problems in our tribe. We were unaware of the hate enveloping both tribes! But now that we had grown up, I could see it clearly, the day the goddess created ten creations here was the day that the hate had started!"

Dennar looking at the blood-crazed eyes of his brother felt chills all over.

"Just what have those old men in the tribe have done to you?"

"They only opened my eyes for something greater..."
