There was a moment of hesitation, just the slightest bit before they accepted. However way Lucius wanted to look at it, there was going to be some sort of resistance to his sudden question. After all, he was basically asking them to hand over a piece of their culture after all. "Our ways are yours... you are the Shri'killian, the Chosen One. It would be an honor to teach you," one of the cheiftains said, glancing over at its comrades. "Very well, then, follow me. You'll teach me while the others collect…-

After creating several small wagons with the help of Hannibal, Alpha, and Pagan, Lucius went to check up on the Internal Security Department. He wanted to have a quick session before sending everyone out on their missions. "Ah, sparring," he whispered to himself as he noticed that the group was currently watching the arena. "Captain," one of the members whispered, noticing Lucius's presence, and just like that everyone bowed before turning their attention back to the fight that was about to begin. ~I…

Once they got back to camp Alpha and Hannibal went to take rest under the Radiant Tree, with Lucius giving the chieftains permission to join as well. A few of the members from the F and C department rushed to meet him as soon as he arrived, claiming to have completely memorized the internals and externals of the mushroom domes. ~The conspiracist, his friend... and this one is new,~ Lucius thought to himself as he looked at the three laevyes standing in front of him. "Follow me," he said after some…

"We do not know this army you speak of, and we do not accept help from outsiders," the creature responded just as bluntly, its skin still flickering as it attempted to camoflage. It was obvious that these creatures were not going to trust him easily, and quite frankly he didn't have time to be forcing issues right now. So for now having them take advantage of their operation was all he was aiming to accomplish. "By tonight your enemies will be in turmoil, I will hand them to you on a silver platter. All…

"Satellite Beam," Lucius whispered, but even after a few moments, nothing happened. "It seems it doesn't work during the day," he said out loud before recalling his crux. ~Hmm, does this mean that our battle power is higher during the night?~ he wondered to himself. However, he would have to test the range with which he could borrow power from the radiant tree. Otherwise, the downside of not having solar reserves replenished would make night battles impractical. During their travel, the group had to…

"Okay, now that that's out of the way, I'd like to bring forward another topic. I'll be leaving for the mountains in a day or two," Lucius announced. Five days had already passed since he met Crenog, and the tournament it spoke of would soon begin. "The mountains? Why?" Ghost asked. "There is a tournament taking place there, it'll do well for foreign relations. We could gain valuable allies and connections by sending a small delegation, as such I'll be taking a few representatives as well," he…

As the other leaf citizens left the hall, Lucius gestured for the remaining members to gather around. He then created chairs for everyone to sit on, before creating a massive round table at the center. Once he sat down everyone else followed, and the discussions began. "If I remember correctly, we had a meeting like this a few weeks ago... the only difference is that back then we had nothing," Lucius started off, remembering the little meeting the group had while they were still leaflings. "Slowly but…

"We'll be having a session before I wake up the rest of the commune. You should join us, the others will want to see you as well," Lucius said. This session would only have Alpha and Hannibal since Pagan was too close to evolving to have on. And also because he wanted to maximize the amount of helios he would get, so non-leaflings would not be part. "Ah, sure," Ghost replied, caressing the arachnid one last time before heading with Lucius to the 'Photosynthesis Dome'. Lucius had ordered that all the kid…

With that, a beam shot from the Radiant Tree as well, and the two converged and struck a nearby tree. The tree in question was shrouded in blue light, before erupting into flames. Oddly enough, there was no heat from these flames, no smoke... the tree simply burnt down. "A new spell?" Hannibal asked, watching in awe as the remains of the tree smoldered in the night. The others were speechless. The chieftains did not know about this second form that the crux had, so to them, it was as if…

"How are you doing that?" Alpha asked as he got on one of the carts. "Use Elmando to make the wheels rotate," Lucius explained, skillfully maneuvering his cart between the trees. The reason he had used mushrooms instead of wood, was because it was lighter and easier to control. If he wanted the cart to be stronger, he could always condense the mushrooms to increase their strength. "Like this?" Alpha whispered, moving his cart forward at a plodding speed. "Once you start getting used to Elmando you will…
