Ellis smiled and nodded "Very well." and with that said the Tykes cheered Ellis hoped this alliance would be a happy and very long one.
Sadly they were spotted. A local mage college dispatched, along with some town guards and Sako (Arletons top advisor). They all took to the air before noticing something odd. "The Aeroix has been dispersed in this area. Whoever they are they do not care about this landscape." One of the mages called out as they continued flying before spotting a campsite nearby. - - Auto Merge - - Meanwhile Arleton shook hands/claws with Ellis. "Perhaps you could come back with me for a short while. You have much to learn about Aeroix. Though looking as we both come from the same tree. You have some Aeroix in you but not enough to fully harness. Drink this." she hands her a small flask of pure Aeroix essence.
Ellis thought about it then said "Fine." she was quite curious of what the Aeroix actually did, she drank it and gave the vile back the other Tykes confused at this point.
As the Eriborian arrived with his personal bodyguards, Venquis made his way across Reno under escort. He soon made it to their capital, where he traveled until he was told under orders to speak to Kona about his diplomatic ideals. The Eriborian sat down on a small chair surrounded by his Crimson Roses. Sadly, he knew that by itself, Ardelan would be absorbed into Reno due to not having the manpower to keep the kingdom alive. By itself, it was impossible to maintain a strong empire. And since the Ryborians wished to wage a crusade against its possible enemies, it turned out they were both similar. His only wish was to keep his people's identity alive, he care nothing about anything else.
"Good you should feel a warm sensation round your entire body, numbness in your arms and head. This is natural just focus and become one with the sensation. once that is done you should be able to see either gold or black particles form round your hands. This dictates if you shall follow the way of Celest or of Luni." Arleton was pleased with her decision. She waited to see which god of Aeroix chose her and her people as essence vessels. Kust like Luni did with the Devi.
"Surely they saw me... I wonder what is taking them so long?" Silver Crescent decided to try again. Picking up Holly, he flew towards the largest city that he could find, and landed. "Greetings. My name is Silver Crescent, Patriarch of Lunaria. I, and my allies, wish to speak with your leader."
Kona walked through the door, wiping blood off his sword, which was forged slightly curved for slashing, but still able to stab, "Now. give me reason why you foreigner being on holy NatusOliit lands, force me to speak savage language, and not for me not to deny your requests, and enslave you and your guards?" He asked very seriously as he say down and sheathed his sword
"Simply put. We wish to be absorbed into your nation. Both our races serve the gods, and they seem to see eye to eye our your mission to restore the holy lands. We cannot survive due to our 'disease' that we carry that restricts our numbers, and we wish to join your glorious nation." Venquis then pointed at a map of Reno and Ardelan, indicating what would happen if both were united as one. "Why? You ask, that you want to join savages such as us? It is because are some of the best manufacturers of armor and weaponry, not to mention technology, on the entire planet. If we were to be absorbed into your nation, we can solely build you technology, weaponry and armor unlike the world has ever seen. We serve our divines, but we were told by them, that supporting your cause will be the best in the long run. We can learn your language, so we don't have to worry about savage dialect. Imagine, time and space under the mastery of our kinds. A power that makes Emperors and Kings look like fools. If we joined you, we can control the future together. My only wish, if such an alliance were to exist between us, is to keep our religion. What do you say, do you want to have the Old Kingdom restored with the partnership of both our kinds?"
Jobs stared at the one before him, "Your land is not under the NatusOliit. And I hope út realize that under ally treaty, you loose ability to control own foriegn policy. Út also must provide third of tax revenue to Reno." With that, Kona pulled out a sheet of parchmen covered in writing, "There is alliance treaty. Please, take time."
Ellis looked at her hand and waited for a momment black particles forned around her hands making the Tykes flinch back.
"Of course." Venquis then went outside with his Crimson-Roses to consider his decision about having to practically sacrifice everything that made his people strong. However, they wanted this to originally happen. As long as both of the races became stronger, they were happy to ally. He came back several minutes later and signed to treaty. "Let this peace last for eternity. Under Sihana's will, we pledge allegiance to you. We will fight for you and die for you and Ardelan. The moment this takes effect, i will return to Neromia and under your given instructions, start fitting your troops with our finest technology we can to assist your crusades. Pleasure doing business with you."
"Luni, has chosen you. may you harness the dark to serve the gods." Arleton was extremely pleased with Luni's choice. not only did they gain a valuable ally but the allies leader now had the power to pass it down to the next generation. She smiled as she turned back round. "Are you ready to head back to my nation. Where we can sign the official trade and alliance treaty. We have already given you the power and so if you come and sign the treaty. we can share books written by wise mages so you may achieve Aeternalism. You may even find new ways to channel and control the essence. specific to the Tykes or to everyone."
After a two hour journey by boat they arrived. what stood before them was a bustling port city with markets and a clear view of the temple of the eight. "Welcome to Stergthi otherwise known as Thi's stronghold in the tongue of barbarians." she guided her through the streets civilians turned and welcomed the new arrival with open arms. some even saying that at least they were more friendly and not evasive to the forests like the others. Arleton was confused but carried on to a large hall where the treaty was laid out. "just sign here and you'll have the knowledge, resources and protection of my people. While I have the same of yours." the official treaty was in Heavillian but they left a dictionary and a full translation of the treaty into the ubl (Universal barbaric language) next to it along with a quill and ink.
Silver was growing impatient. The demonic humanoid inhabitants of the island were refusing to speak with him. "I have tried to be patient, but this is just rude. If you have the power of speech, I suggest you use it!" Silver drew his swords and rose into air. Holly stood on the ground below, snarling. "I will ask you again... WHERE IS YOUR LEADER?!"
Ellis took the quill and wrote her name, she wasn't used to nations quite like this one. They had many people walking around the streets instead of hiding in they're homes away from the sun light. When she was finished she put the quill down "May i take a look around?" she asked.
Sar landed in the camp. along with those who joined him. "Arleton kar sgre trefe Terte quile Ellie Typh's. E om chargen vil sye's Byse." He then noticed they didnt speak Heavilian. "I guess, i'll just have to speak in the tongue of the barbarians. I am Sar, while Arleton, high mage and leader of our nation is busy signing an alliance with ellis of the Typhs. So I am here to negotiate an alliance instead." - - Auto Merge - - Arleton nodded. "Take this dictionairy with you. It will help a lot trust me. oh and Serar't" she smiled as she said goodbye in Heavillian. she then walked off remembering the note sar left for her in the great hall. She took off to the forest but wouldnt arrive there until half an hour later than expected due to an increase in wind speed.
Furious, Silver returned to camp. There he found Sar introducing himself to Valacian. "I see that at least one of your kind has the decency to speak when spoken to. I am... curious... why your people showed such rudeness when I made contact."
"Our main leader as stated, was away on a trip to seal an alliance With a highly uncul..." He was cut off by a small energy ball to the face administered by Arleton. "Sorry about that, busy dealing with a race with a similar genetic makeup to our own. I'm Arleton Seraphax, High mage, Aeternal and leader of Heavilia. That guy I just Enragoned is Sar Kurn'a. My 4th most trusted adviser. Regarding your issue with rudeness, most people don't take unknowns in full Armour and weaponry to heart. If you came more concealed than the welcoming may of been friendlier." She then turned to one of the mage's who came with Sar to send news that the Unknowns needed a true representation of the city and needed to be welcomed better than before. "Perhaps a tour of our capital Mr Who exactly." her last sentence was sweet and feminine.
"I am Silver Crescent, Patriarch of the Lunar Pegasi and Pack-Brother to the Timber-Wolves. My silent friend here..." He motioned to Valcian. "...is called Valcian Hadron. His people, the Saberai, have been my people's nieghbors and allies for many years." He sheathed his swords, and Holly stopped snarling. "We would love to see your home. I thank you for the offer."
