Chapter 22
(----Trick----)
They take a good look at the Irge, as the Myel called them. They understand how they could miss this branched race, for their kind only focuses in on those with energy using abilities, for the world and it's connected planes were just too large to keep track of everything, so they decided to watch those races that use energy, which tends to be chakra, for they were the most likely to do incredible things.
He turns to look at some of the other gods and goddesses. They had combined for the time being, for they were judging both the Myel and those that were making plans to help the Myel. What the prize is, it's the ability to use chakra and so far, it seems that the Myel were on the right track. He also knows that they'll have to find out more about this race, and why they have five branches.
He sighs as he looks around at the twelve others; they total sixteen in all with his friends and him. He looks at Whyte the black and green-scaled snake. Whyte is a combination of black and green mamba, his father was a black mamba summon beast while his mother was a demon green mamba. Whyte likes to show off his parentage, so he displayed the black scales for his father and the green scales for his mother. He had to admit that Whyte was striking in this form, beautiful and very deadly. Whyte is forty feet long.
He sighs and looks toward the snake dragon of them, May. May looks pretty much like how the humans that use chakra picture a dragon, like a serpent with legs, mane, and antlers. May is longer then Whyte by eight feet and stands four feet off the ground when she stands on her four legs. May has purple mane with her antlers being yellow. May's rough scales are green in colour with soft blue coloured scales on the bottom of her body. May's eyes are crimson and, like the Myel, her eyes glow with slight golden pupils. If Whyte is beautiful, then May is magnificent.
His looks to the loin of the group, Rave. Rave's coat colour is brown with a black full mane. Rave stands just two feet shorter then Frost when the white bear stands on all fours. Rave's eyes are green and he has barely visible fourteen cm fangs poking out from the top of Rave's mouth, with the skin covering only six cm.
He turns to look over at his good friend, Reef. Reef favours a human looking form, with horns on his head. Reef only resembles a human by the simple fact that Reef started out with a human appearance and has added over the years to make it look monstrous. Reef chose to have a short pair of ram horns on his forehead with a horse's mane of grey hair stopping at the back of his neck, though the mane continues to be shoulder length. Reef's body is covered in black, orange, yellow, and white fur, much like a hunting dog. Reef's fingers and toes are tipped with sharp claws, though the finger ones retract. Reef has a tail with a blade at the end; the tail is long and flexible. Reef's legs were defiantly human, one of basic unchanged parts of Reef's body. Reef has a broad and longish muzzle, with canine teeth. Reef also stands just less than six feet tall. Reef also is wearing a loincloth with a medium length dagger resting on his left hip. Reef also has a gold and silver amulet with a picture of a bird on it with amber being used as eyes of the bird. Also Reef's been known to fly around in the form of a bird that looks to be on fire.
Just then Rave growls and he returns to looking into the viewing pool. His face-hardens as they watch a few of the Irge were starting to move into the jungle. He knows they all share Rave's sentiment, Vice snarls, "Why not just limit their movements?" He turns to look at the red spotted hyena and counters, "And alert every chakra using being over three thousand miles? We'll just have to leave this to the natives." Whyte nods in agreement with this and Vice snorts, but keeps quiet.
They then pull their powers together and change the view to the Irge's homeland by using blood ties. He is surprise to view another branch of this race. This branch has sliver hair with smaller ears then the ones on the shore. They know that this by viewing a whole room full of this branch of this race.
They use a translation jutsu to listen in on what they're talking about. The one that staff says, "The Order of the Just requests to have three of our prised speed ships to use in pursuing the rogue Silver Rive tribe. I, Tyler of Leader of the Dream tribe vote that we allow the Order of the Just use our three prized ships in order to bring the rogues to justice. How do you, elders of the Etra vote?"
They changed the viewing pool; they heard enough of from this branch. They now view a room with twenty members of a mixed branch of this race. Some of the members of the meeting are of a branch that is paler then the Irge also taller and more built. Others look to be of the Etra branch and then there are members of the Irge branch.
Another branch they spy from the meeting is very dark skin, almost black in colour. They notice that this branch is about the same size as the Irge and longer ears then the Irge branch.
The last branch looks to be very different then the other four branches, for they were the shortest branch out of the five, standing around just under five feet tall, about the size of a human child. This branch is slender with brown coloured skin with ears like the Etra. It also seems that this branch likes to pierce their pointed ears.
They decide to stay with this group and they soon listen in on what they're talking about. "Do you think that the Etra tribes will allow us to use their prized ships?" One of the unnamed branches asks the group. The whole group turns to one of the Etra. This one, a female, answers, "Not without something in exchange. What they might want will depend on what how the voting will go. Also, I wouldn't be surprise if it takes a good month for them to decide." One of the short branches speaks out, "And then we'll lose more time to catch up with the Silver River tribe. Why not just go with the offer from the Haqic?"
"True the Haqic ships are more sturdy, but we need the speed that the Etra builds for. I want to have two waves in this project. One to scout and the other to be the main force and the scouts will need the speed that only the Etra ships are know for." The first speaker says. "But Commander Tyson, if we wait anymore, the Silver River tribe will have more time to find a spot to defend. Then it might take years to dislodge them out of that spot." One of the black skinned argues. The Commander sighs and one of the Irge says, "I say we give the Etra a week, and if they haven't agreed to let us use the three ships, then we go with the Haqic ships." All in the room nod at this and Commander Tyson sighs, "Then it's settled, we give the Etra a week then with or without the Etra ships."
The meeting ends after a few more topics were touched and the viewing pool dims and then disappears. Deandra, a black tigress with silver stripes and blue eyes says, "Do you think that they'll get the ships?" Deandra's sister, Dawn, a white tigress with golden stripes and green eyes, answers, "Doubtful, or they wouldn't be concerned about them."
He looks between the pair and looks thoughtful. Then Magen, the panther of the group, suggests, "Maybe we should speak with this commander and inform him that he needs not worry about going? I mean, the tribe will most likely be massacred by the Myel and the Qualcoals." Rave snorts and Whyte replies, "I don't think that it'll stop this group from searching for them. They'll most likely want to see the dead bodies." Frost adds, "And he'll be very interested in why we don't want them to search for the group too. I don't think that this race is remotely ready to accept any races that look totally different them themselves." May says, "Then we could always take the bodies to one of the small islands in their path. They could stop them." "But they would wonder where the Myel bodies are." Glory points out. "O yea, I forgot that part." May admits.
Then he says, "I think we need some time to think this over. We have a time to decide on what to do with the searchers, so lets take our time. If we're lucky, the Qualcoals might have ideas on what to do. We might not even have to interfere in this." He finds Dawn, smile slightly at this while the others all look like of distracted. Finally Rave says, "Then let us take our leave then. I for one wouldn't mind some time to rest and to think over what has been said here."
He watches as the group begin to leave, he watches as the white tigress just sends a look to her black sister as Deandra leaves. Deandra pauses to glance at him and snorts in amusement as the black tigress fades out. Soon he finds himself alone with the white tigress. He studies the golden collar with emeralds. The emeralds to match Dawn's green eyes, as the sapphires on Deandra's silver collar are there to match the black tigress's blue eyes.
"You have an idea." He says. Dawn says, "How many time have we worked together? I think it's eight by now. You should know me by now." He smiles and nods. He has worked with Dawn before and they work very well together, even if they tend to have a few different views on some major issues. The last time they worked as a pair was during the third war between JenFe! and they're TerCa allies and Light village and their allies. They had worked to keep the chakra being flung around didn't have a major effect on the surrounding land. During each of the wars when there's a race of chakra users, pair of their kind has that job.
He asks, "What's the plan?" Dawn lies down, as does he, waiting for Dawn to continue. "I think we do what we usually do before the wars between JenFe! and Light village. We choose a Qualcoal to speak with Commander Tyson in a shared dream. That way if Tyson hears a description of a Qualcoal, he'll know not to engage them for fear of starting a war with them." He blinks at the plan and asks, "That's it?" Dawn shrugs and says, "It's not revealing ourselves and it's not really interfering with the solution, now is it?" He nods slowly and sighs, "And if someone learns of what we did?" Dawn smiles as she replies, "We just say that we hoped to stop a war." He chuckles, for that's the usual reason that they use when they do it between a human and a JenFe!.
"Will your sister know what we're planning?" He asks. Deandra is more dutiful to what is decided among the group. Dawn likes to bend the rules when she wants to do something, where as Deandra tends to follow the rules line by line. Also, Deandra is more social then Dawn, for Deandra likes to do things in a group while Dawn wouldn't mind working alone or with a trusted partner in crime, which could be either him or Dawn's best friend Alex the unicorn.
Alex's coat is yellow with white mane and tail. Alex's hooves and horn are gold and on her hind legs are blue socks. Alex's also has an ivory collar around her neck and braided mane. Alex also tends to be with Danny the Hippogriff. He doesn't know just what the pair does, but he gets the feeling that they're very close to each other, maybe even lovers. He doesn't know too much about Danny, for the Hippogriff tends to keep to himself, though he's great friends with Vice.
"So which Qualcoal do you have in mind?" He asks. Dawn rolls her eyes and he knows it's Jet, or Spirit of the Wind. "Stupid question, so which one do you want to do?" He asks. "I'll do Tyson, you do Jet." Dawn says as they both get up. They have work to do and he also wants to rest before they group up again.
"Hey Trick? Nice ass." Dawn says before disappearing. He blinks as he stares stupidly at the spot where Dawn had been just a few seconds before. Then he blushes as he vanishes out to be a spectre on the human world. He'll follow Tyson around and do the preparing for the share dream.
To Readers:
Here's the list of the other three elfin branches and their traits:
Etra all have silver hair and medium length ears. They're tribes are the Dream tribe, the Heart tribe, and the Spirit tribe. They also tend have most of their capital cities by the northern shores. They're ships are renounced for their speed.
Haqic are dark skinned, almost black in colour. They also have the longest ears out of the five branches. They're tribes are the Frank tribe, the Celtic tribe, and the Gaelic tribe. They also have their capitals by sourthern shores, though the Gaelic tribe has uses an island for their capital. Their ships are more bulky then the Etra's but they hold more people and they make good ships for long voyages.
Zudra are the shortest of the five branches and they're ears are the shortest of out the five branches too. They also pierce their ears as signs of adulthood. This brand consists of the Spear tribe, the Sword tribe, and the Shield tribe. This branch also has their capitals in large underground caverns. They're also the best miners and metal smiths out of the five branches.
