The rest of the meeting was relatively uneventful after that. Kace's mansion had been kept empty for him, despite his absence for so long. Sophia, Dao, Grugda, Shadow and the Tu'Thrag tribe had all moved in. Turning it into the base of operations for his entire group. Eventually, Dao would receive his own mansion, since he had to take the leadership role for the council's vampire race. Vaskra had kicked up a fuss, she too wanted to move in, but it was essentially decided against. Much to the…-

"Grugda…" A tense silence descended within the room when that name was spoken. Every representative was staring at the Eljein with a cold, calculating look. However, Kace's had gone so far beyond anger at someone trying to separate Grugda from his group. The outcome was an aura that seemed like a black hole. Ready to swallow up the Eljein at any minute. "Yarsma, Grugda's power is needed elsewhere. Kace may need to set off somewhere else before the matters in the North are settled. I suggest you choose…

The room exploded into chaos! Suddenly, the whole atmosphere had changed as the different leaders quickly tried to make amends with Kace. He smirked at their behaviour with only served to infuriate them. However, they kept their anger in check to try and placate him. They worried that he would just seek out a new monster tribe to work with if they offended him. He had succeeded in helping to lay the groundworks for this city, so who was to say that he could not do it again? If he did that, then there was…

It did not take Kace long to stop marvelling at all of the new wonders. They were basically just primitive versions of similar things from his old life. The only difference lay in their operating principles. The crowd had followed them all the way to Shagrat's mansion. They kept a respectful distance when the procession crossed the threshold into the surrounding area of the mansion. All of them knew that they could be killed for approaching the building without permission. After all, it was technically…

Dhash's voice was so low when he made his request that only Shagrat, Kace and the two vampires behind him had heard it. It was customary to cremate their dead and was considered taboo to bury them. Kace was unaware of this fact and thought that Kharja's and Gyn's cremation had just been a matter of choice. Besides, keeping so many dead bodies around until they found the time and place to bury them would have most likely have led to diseases being spread. "I would be glad to accompany you." Kace bowed to…

A silence enveloped the crowd who stared at the imposing figure still standing on the airship. They were trying to compare their own personal images of the almighty Chimera to the one standing before them. Most of them had imagined a mighty four-legged beast that would devour anything in its path. So it was no wonder that they were shocked to discover that it actually had a humanoid appearance. "Shagrat! It's been a while!" Kace said loud enough for everyone to hear, which was not hard considering how…

At the same time that Kace had just arrived home in Stonefall, there was a peculiar conversation going on between some sailors seated around a table in a dark bar. The port town that held this bar was a usual port of call for the many ships sent by the heroes to retake the island. However, recently, said ships had begun to return to the port before crossing half of the distance. Most of the time, these ships were barely still afloat. A meagre amount of survivors handled them while looking like they had…

Kace wanted nothing more than to hide in the background quietly as the airship began its descent. However, it seemed like a peaceful homecoming would never happen for him. Soon the cheers that had been aimed at Vaskra took a sudden turn. First, they began to notice the strange dark-skinned goblins hanging from the guardrails. Especially since they were doing all they could to get the females' attention in the crowd. Soon, however, shocked gasps escaped from a select group in the crowd. These came from the…

"Who'd have. Thought it. Would take. Only a month. To return." Grugda sighed helplessly from his spot beside Kace. He was wearing a complicated expression on his face as he watched the sight of Stonefall growing in the distance. Kace could understand his feelings. It had taken them a year to make the same journey on foot. Sure, they were chased from the heroes and could not take a direct route, but the airship's speed was still impressive. Since a week ago they had begun to see signs of how much influence…

Kace wiped his mouth carefully, he made sure to not be seen in his act of throwing up, so it did not damage his image. The deck beneath his feet vibrated softly as they rose into the air. The Island's scenery spread out before him, allowing him to see details that he never saw before. Yul sat calmly outside the almost completed fortress that was based on the cliffs he had seen when he first arrived here. Giant creatures of all shapes and sizes could be seen lumbering around deep in the jungle and…
