The otherworlder

I get up at 5 O'clock in the morning and once more put on clothes meant for council meetings, a long white toga that draped slightly on the ground with my back exposed to leave my wings out it is a very heavy garment and it is meant to be worn with sandals. This is the clothes a winged beastman was expected to wear to council meeting, although it is relaxed yesterday because it was an emergency meeting today we will all be expected to have our proper outfits on.

Waiting in the lobby for the people to begin proceedings now that all the information was known people will be sent one by one to inform them of any private information not revealed yesterday due to how public it was yesterday, many have probably not told the whole story as some of it is not meant to be said in front of others.

The council has a rule that the person to provide certain information will remain anonymous at this point in the trial, meaning you can say the truth without it getting back to you.

I am left waiting until nine O'clock and finally am allowed to enter the room, their are only 20 people in the room compared to the over 50 last time and it was two for the most common race like elves, dwarfs, dragon men, and the top five beastman which is cats, dogs, birds, wolfs, and reptile species. Although some where more generalized for the beastman it is clear that we are not one big faction as there has been many internal wars between those labeled beastman but many of us couldn't inter breed as it would produce a half blood the only one this doesn't apply to is dogs and wolfs.

There has been many petitions to throw away the beastman title for more specific names but it is simply to many for that to viably work so leaving over simplified but giving us extra seats was the alternative, although the human representative wasn't here yesterday they are today most likely due to the threat of war.

I walk in and the doors close along with a enchantment going up to block noise from leaving and to protect those in the room from outside and internal threats, there has been more then one fight in here before that was added.

"Lucien Null is here to present what he witnessed and experienced in the country of Neelan while he was there along with the treatment his mate and pup where given by those there, he has agreed to swear on his energy that all he will say is the truth and that he will provide extra details not said yesterday due to privacy reasons. Any that believe he is physically or mentally not well enough to speak on trial say so now failure to do so will make rights to complain later void." The Auburn haired wolfman said, no one spoke in contention.

"You may now give your testimony." The human is sweating as he knows Neelan is the currently worst off country for the events happening and it will be unpleasant for what I will say.

I explain everything once more before stopping after I finally arrived in Lycaonia they then look at me in question of what had a said differently from yesterday, "What I shall say next is not what happened in this past month but rather 5 years ago when my son was in the tower it is something I believe must be known as it is worrying how soon to this the event took place. My son was performing the fourth floor when a twist occurred and a sixth person spawned in the task room with them although he was invisible my son could see his footsteps and realized he was there" 

I can see a look of worry on their faces as a change in the tower is a big deal, but what I say next has looks of horror appear, "when my son questioned him he told my son that he originated from another world where humans also lived with a tower like our own existed in and that he arrived here by accident when a space rip occurred in his tower."

Murmurs can be heard through the room and it is clear they are realizing why I chose to wait till this private meeting to bring this forth. 

"The man was able to theoretically enter our world but he was required to undergo what the tower called integration and the man failed leading to his death, we studied his body and it was discovered those with another's world energy in them when they entered a new world have to replace their old energy with the new one and those who have formed cores where to high in energy levels to survive it so put it off as something not to worry about." I can see hints of worry as it is clear that this may no longer be the case as if someone from another world is behind this it could mean a more severe cause.

"I understand the worry but from what I know not all foreigners are brought here willingly or even have a way to get back like the one I explained to you so they are mostly harmless it is in worry for the small one bit that this doesn't potentially apply that I now mention it." I step back and let them speak, the human representative appears horrified at the concept it could be an outsider that is causing problems cause it could mean another worlds invasion.

Hushed arguments all the way to near brawls this information has drastically shifted the worry of those involved here from an internal fight to a much larger scale external one, after over an hour the elder elf finally stands and everyone quiets down.

"Do you still have that body with you and how well preserved is it?" She ask, I reply with "Yes the body is with my mate currently as they are the one who performed the original biopsy, and it has never left the space pocket since we finished it's autopsy making it in near perfect condition." She nods her head and says, "We will call an end to this meeting for now and will bring both your molongani and kit to a safe location here in the building along with the body for us to personally look at an examine. No one here is allowed to be alone with any of them until this is certified as true or false." 

I am escorted to a room with no window and heavily ingrained enchantments, this room is specifically made for those who are imperative witnesses for horrific or government changing crimes.

When Nilan and Aadi enter I see Nilan giving me questioning looks while Aadi appears to be highly nervous to be in such a confining room.

Although it has been over 10 years since he came here he is still not happy with being in confined spaces with no access to free space and open sky, he pretends it is fine but the nightmares he gets from being in such spaces for to long say otherwise.

Finally after about two hours the first group of five from the council appears and I have already explained the situation to Nilan and Aadi.

Nilan bows in greeting and then removes the body from the space on top of the medical bed rolled in for this purpose, the man is still gaunt and skinny with his bones twisted and face distorted due to the energy fighting in his body when he died.

They all sense his body and feel the foreign energy that even now remains in small amounts along with the rejection of their energy even with his body already deceased.

It is clear with one feel they all can tell exactly what is happening with the body along with how he died, they all are clearly thinking on how someone could survive this when they enter our world when the old elf who is among the first group spoke, "Use your own energy when cultivating can ignore this problem, but such paths are horrific and banned as forbidden arts."

Murmurs ring as they realize it is theoretically possible to have someone from another world alive and not even realize it is a being from another world, an enemy you can't tell the difference with or that it even is there.

The rest of the council learns of this and it is unanimous that all people who follow such cultivation is to be looked into, I step forward and tell them that Aadi is a rescue from a black market experiment who also has such cultivation but I have raised him since he was 11 years old, they realize that this type of investigation will not work as most of those that have such cultivation are usually victims.

We are back at square one on how to identify and find them, if they even exist in the first place.
