AC: Here's the prologue of the next story. I think I've given up on 2 chaotic stories for this one. This one will put the 5 tribes much more equal than the others. I hope I won't put too much favoritism. Expect a big moment without battle since it is not the main focus. There will be a few fights but no war for a long time.
I try to put lots of creature in the story and give a lot of them some time. Some will have more of course.
The different Era will appears a few time.
Stay young at heart.
No one knows how everything begins except them. Strangers appear in our world like. They came out of nowhere and none of the tribes know how to deal with them. The bracelet they have around their wrist is the keep for a great gift...Or a curse.
Perim was always a place of war between the 5 tribes. The 5 tribes are: Overworlder, Underworlder, Mipedian, Danian and M'arrillian. Each tribe is governed by a leader, some more charismatic, others stronger and others smarter.
During thousands of solans and thousands of solans be at war against each other's. They fight to obtain more territory but their strength is balance and none of them can obtain the upper hands.
500 solans in the past of the story, the young M'arrillian leader Aa'une, fully control the mind control ability of his tribe to a higher level and try to conquer Perim. The M'arrillian war started and the other tribes united fast enough to stop the plan. The M'arrillians fail and are trap into the deep mine, but Aa'une is an intelligent Oligarch, he has put the volunteer, Phelphor, into ice and he waits for the right moment to strike again, when they will forgot about them and their power. Trap in the Deep mine behind a door forge by the 4 other tribes. One of the reason they have fail is that Aa'une is the only one who can control the mind of other creatures, so he takes his time to teach all chieftain the way to use it. They have time to wait, the M'arrillian live for a very long time and they can wait for their revenge. The same who has been defeated...Train to become stronger and the young follow their example.
During that time of peace, the 4 tribes try to maintain peace between them. They encounter prosperity and also lots of mugic has been created.
During 100 solans, it was the Era of Mugic. Mugic academies rise among all of Perim and the knowledge and the secret of the mugic starts to crack open. The mugic stone became more powerful than before.
When the era ends, tension between the 4 tribes rise, hate awakes. During 50 solans, it was the Era of Uncertainty between the 4 tribes where the only question is when will the war start again.
The next 348 solans, it was the Era of Wars. During that time, loss of wars and strike occurs, most of them were minor. It was named the era of wars, but it was mostly one assault follow up with a counter attack.
When this era ends, Phelphor is set free of the ice prison he was in and he decides to not immediately open the door. He analyse the situation of Perim and he sees that the relationship between the 4 tribes are bad and the tension is high, they have less chance to united against the M'arrillian. It was the perfect time to strike.
The next solan the door of the deep mine was open and destroyed by Phelphor and the second M'arrillian war occurs. Aa'une takes the lead again, but this time, he is stronger and more matured. They almost win this war, but a twist occurs and the 4 other tribes united. They create a way to counter the mind control and the war goes into havoc. The M'arrillians are pushed away and the fight was catastrophic, Aa'une has no choice in the end...They were in the Deep mine and Aa'une knows a genocide can occur at any time. He has no choice but to bite his pride and do something he never wanted to do.
It makes him sick but he surrenders and a treaty is written. The cost was high for the M'arrillians, it was a humiliation for them to lose a war they were about to win. They have been confiscated all of their battlegear, their mugic stone and most of their mugician. They also have to pay a lot for the destruction they caused and put them into poverty.
The door was never built again because they know it will be crack open again.
Aa'une was sure he will fall and that a civil war will occur...But it never happens. So he works hard and he manages to evade the worse and stabilise the economy of the Deep Mine.
The Overworlder, Underworlder, Mipedian and Danian celebrate their victory, which turns out into a fight and the status quo occurs again.
During the 10 next solans, the M'arrillians tries not to be in any trouble or be caught in a war, without lots of weaponry and mugic, they can't win. War still occurs among the 4 other tribes but they are watching carefully the M'arrillians.
Balance was present between the tribe has no one has the chance to take the upper hand. But no one knows that they are entering into another Era, one of the most important one of their history. Each tribe will something from another world, they will break the balance and struggle will occur.
The Era of the Cothica is about to begin.
Prologue: Strange being
Overworld
3 soldiers accompanied a black tiger man walking around the forest and searching around. The 4 are mostly exploring around Kiru city since there's been rumor of the Underworld being around the city.
The leader of the squadron is Attacat. He is a black panther-like warrior, and he moves with the same grace as a prowling tiger. His body is strong and covered with fine gray fur. He only wears sparse armor. He has a gray tiger tail on his back. He is only wearing a green used loincloth.
"Do you believe the Underworlders are around the city?" Asks one of the guards.
"We are never sure. It is best to check around to be sure. It's the orders of Toborn." Answers Attacat.
The soldier walks for a moment and they enter into the forest. The forest near the city is a normal forest. The trees have green leaf covering the sun and letting passing little of the light to guide them into the forest. The silence was their ally when they reach deep in the forest. They hear something grunting lightly and they hide behind the trees.
"*Sniff Sniff*? I do not recognise that smell...It's definitely not an Underworlder." Says Attacat.
The soldiers raise their weapon and they walk slowly at the source of the grunting. They move a bush on their way and they see something they never see. They didn't but they just see a human in front of them.
It is a young boy of has brown skin. He has brown eyes. He has short black hair. He is 4 ft. tall. He wears blue glasses over his face because of his sigh problem. He wears from the human world a blue T-shirt with the message: «I didn't do it», and a brown pair of jeans. He also wears black shoes at his feet. He also has a blue bracelet on his wrist with the symbol of the Overworld on it. They haven't notice the bracelet yet thought.
"What is..." Starts Attacat.
Underworld
"...That?" Asks Zalvar. When he points to the human, which he don't know yet.
Zalvar is an underworlder that looks like a wolf-like cat that is blue and green nose and tail tip. He is a little skinny but his muscles can be seeing under his blue fur. He wears a loin cloth with a brown belt and a gold band on each arm. The fur on his head and shoulders is paler then the blue of most of his skin.
The 2 examines the human.
He has short blond hair. He has pale gray eyes with some orange part around the pupil on the iris part. He has Caucasian skin. He is 4,1 ft. tall. He wears from the human world a shirt of red color and a black pant for a cold day. The black pant has a few holes on the knee section. He also has brown shoes on his feet. He wears a blue lucky necklace around his neck and a red bracelet with the underworld on his wrist.
"How should I know?" Asks Rothar beside him.
He is a big underworlder of 8ft. and 8 inches high. He has big muscles covering all of his body and shows his dominant stature. He has orange-red skin covering all of his body. He is wearing a brown armor covering his chest and belly. He has metal plates at the outside section of his wrist to the upper arms. He has a green short attaching by a belt. He wears metal plates at his knee to protect it. He has long purple hairs at his head. His face is serious and looks like nothing can scare him. He has 2 ears and his right one has a silver right on it. He has 2 white horns at the top of his head.
"What do we do now?" Asks Zalvar.
"We take it to the prison and we interrogate him the hard way. He's a child...I...think. He will crack up quickly." Says Rothar.
"True and...Wait...Look at his wrist." Says Zalvar.
Rothar looks at it.
"Why does he wear a bracelet of the Underworld?" Asks Rothar. "He is clearly not of our tribe."
"Wait...That bracelet...We have to take the bracelet and bring it to Chaor." Says Zalvar.
"Hum? Why?" Asks Rothar.
"It's very important so try and take it off. This bracelet is precious." Says Zalvar.
"Do it yourself." Replies Rothar.
"Fine...Since you are not strong enough...I'll do it." Says Zalvar.
Rothar grunts at the replies and he glares at him.
Zalvar puts his hand on the bracelet and he tries to pull it off.
"Dammit...It...It..." Says Zalvar.
Mipedian
"It won't move!" Shouts Shimmark.
"Are you sure brother?" Asks Vinta.
It was the mipedian territory; it was an immense desert where sands are the king of this territory. The 2 mipedians are lucky to find the human on the ground soon and not later, even if he is unconscious. He could have die of dehydration.
Vinta has dark red skin...his skins was more like scales. He looks at his brother trying to take out the bracelet with his white eyes. He wears blue and gold metallic plate on his shoulder. He also wears loincloth that covers the front of his waist and his butt. He has a long tail of the same color than his scales. The bottom part of his tail is paler than the rest of his scales. He wears white bandages around his feet. He has blue metal plate on his knee.
The bother of Vinta, Shimmark, is very similar. The difference is that his scales are a little paler and that his eyes orange and his iris yellow. His loincloth is also gray.
They look at the human and they wonder what to do.
He has short gray hair. He has red eyes with some colorful part around the pupil on the iris part and his eyes have the Asian form. He has Caucasian/white skin. He is 3,9 ft. tall. He wears a blue T-shirt with the face of a cat on it. He also wears short with a color close to silver. He also wears a yellow bracelet around his waist of his left arm with the symbol of the mipedian on it. He wears a white Nike shoes.
"What's the weird thing on his clothes?" Asks Vinta.
"I don't know...And what's that symbol on his strange feet?" Asks Shimmark.
"I think it is boots or something like that...But that mark is just superficial." Comments Vinta.
"Did you see the form of his eyes...So small and weird?" Comments Shimmark.
"He hasn't opened it up yet." Says Vinta. "But that bracelet is definitely important."
"True...But we can't take it off...So...We need someone who knows more about the bracelet...But the mipedian symbol is definitely something that belongs to us." Comments Shimmark.
"I guess it has some special properties." Says Vinta. "It is useless to try anything."
"...I guess we know what to do next." Says Shimmark. He knees on the ground and he takes the boy on his shoulders. "So...What are we waiting for?"
"Alright...We have to bring..." Starts Vinta.
Danian
"...Bring it to the queen." Says Odu-Bathax.
They were in mount pillar. This place was only rock inside of it where the danian were living.
One of the danian soldiers takes the human and puts it on his shoulder.
Odu-Bathax has the appearance of a really big bug. He's 9 feet tall and covered with a blue exoskeleton. He has 4 arms with seems really powerful and his face with his mandible shows no fear. He has red eyes looking at the girl wondering what it is. His antennas on his shoulders move when he looks at the intruder.
"How did it enter in here?" Asks a danian soldier.
"I'm sure Lore will be interest in studying this." Says another one.
"It looks like an Overworlder." Comments the first soldier.
"But at the same time not." Says another one.
"We will bring her to the queen and start interrogating her...And she will probably become one of us." Says Odu-Bathax thinking about the parasite.
The danian starts walking at the direction of the throne room.
"It is a little weird being." Comments a danian when he looks closely at the girl.
She is an African girl who has very dark skin. She has dark brown sharp eyes. She has long dark hair. She is 3,7 ft. tall. She wears a silver necklace around her neck which contains the picture of her family. She wears a brown green T-shirt with a silver blue long skirt. She has a pair of red shoes. She also has a brown-red bracelet with the Danian symbol on it.
"It must be a pretty ugly overworlder...Those clothes are made of something I never see before." Says another soldier.
"Also, if it is not an Overworlder then..." Says another soldier.
M'arrillian
"...What is it?" Asks an M'arrillian soldier.
It was in the Deep mine; the cave around them is black and blue stone. They are in a dry zone of the Deep Mine without water.
"If it is not an Overworlder then I don't know." Answers Phelphor.
Phelphor has red-pink skin, except his underbelly that appears to be pink. His underbelly has a large scare on it from the previous war when he almost dies. It is a line with gray color, showing that it is not fully recover yet. He has one horn at the top of his head and some on his shoulders and back. His 2 muscular arms are at his side. He wears metal plates on his shoulders, bracelet around his wrist, and another around his legs with golden color with a green emerald. He also wears a black-brown kilt.
By the side of Phelphor were 3 Coral soldiers.
The Coral soldiers have green skin over their head and a part behind their head that continues over their back. The green solid skin covers their chest and their 4 legs. They have purple eyes and part of their arms and their belly is pale purple. Their long face is blue and they have long and sharp teeth. Their right arm has 3 fingers and their left is a pincer.
One of them has the human girl on his chest. He doesn't have the arms to take her well and he can't put her on his shoulder. He looks at her and he then looks at Phelphor.
"What will the Oligarch do with her when he obtains the bracelet?" Asks the soldier. "What are we going to do with this...child...I guess?"
"I do not know...But whatever tribe she is from...We can't take any risk...Aa'une will determine her fate...If it's a her." Says Phelphor not glancing back.
"I guess so...We don't have any contact with the exterior of the Deep Mine since the war. The 4 tribes are just watching us like we are beast." Says another soldier.
"If there is a six tribe...Why do they have this bracelet with our tribe logo?" Wonders the soldier holding the girl.
"Those questions are useless you know." Says Phelphor showing his teeth when he turns around. "Now quiet! It's an order."
They all see Phelphor putting his hand on the scar. Every time he is angry, he puts his hand there.
"...Someone's angry." Says a soldier.
Phelphor turns around and he punches his head.
"*Grunts in pain*" The soldier who's been hit says nothing else and they keep walking to the palace.
AC: End of the prologue.
If you wonder why the sentences are cut, they continue directly from a similar situation.
The same thing is happening and I don't need to put 5 times similar sentences. They next one will be different.
