Nameless King

"I agree. This is a rare opportunity to ally with the humans." One of the elders said.

"Yes."

"It would be the right thing to do."

All of the elders accepted Wain's proposal. Delia, as head of the city, approved it.

"Good. In that case, we need to explore each other's cities and learn more about each other. We need to discuss our cooperation in more detail, and it will take time." Delia said.

"You want to go to my city?"

"Yes. You as the leader need to inform your subordinates of the new changes."

"Oh, there is one small problem. I'm not the leader of the humans. I'm just the strongest fighter. Another man runs the city." Wain shrugged.

"What?! Is that true?!" Delia exclaimed.

"Yeah, I don't have time to run thousands of people, and I've never had that goal, so the situation is like this."

"Hmm, okay, that doesn't change much either way. It's probably even better to have a person who understands these things. I want to talk to him and also look at your lands." Delia uttered.

"Of course, we can go right now. Will it be just the two of us going?"

"Anyone else wants to go?"

"Yes!" All the elders answered at the same time. Each of them was curious to know as much as possible about the humans. It was the rarest of opportunities.

"Damn, that was to be expected. Nameless, you decide who goes with you, pick one, and we go."

"No, not Nameless. My real name is Wain Norheim, now we are allies, and as I promised, I gave you my name."

The elders nodded approvingly.

Wain smiled and pointed to Vlad.

"Huh, it looks like that was an easy choice. Then it's settled. The rest of you, let your subordinates take care of the repairs to the city. This sun is getting boring to me." Delia decided and left the hall with Wain and Vlad.

...

"Over there is the city of the humans." Wain said, pointing toward a huge waterfall in the distance.

They were standing at the broken entrance to the city, overlooking the vast area around the mountain.

"I see, that's not bad. We might even be able to make an underground passageway, but it'll take time."

"Huh, you, vampires don't like sunlight that much?"

"Of course, hell, I was too hasty. We should have gone at night. Nothing beats the cool light from the blue moon." Delia said and jumped off the ledge.

"If I weren't a vampire, I might even love the sunlight, but the unpleasant burning on my skin is not compatible." Vlad followed Delia.

...

Wain, Vlad, and Delia were on the frontier of the Second Chronicle and had impressive physical stats. They covered one kilometer in about a minute and quickly made it to the Darklands.

"What? Why are there beasts out there?" Delia was puzzled.

"As of late, the humans and the beasts are working together. They own the outer layer of our territory. The humans have four cities under our control behind these lands and one island, which is the center. All of this is in the territory of a huge waterfall."

"You humans are very savvy. Beasts are a great ally."

Wain shrugged, "It's just a dictate of fate."

"Wain, I wanted to ask you something." Delia said seriously.

"I'm listening."

"You're different from the humans the Pillars banished long ago, aren't you? Right?"

"Yes, we are. I don't know why myself, but we were separated."

"Why do you think so? Maybe it's just a coincidence that the names of your races are the same."

"That's impossible. I know for a fact that our features and those of the humans who were exiled are the same. We are definitely members of the same race, but we ended up in different places for reasons unknown to me. Perhaps we, too, were exiled, or something else happened. This story is too confusing and has few fragments for me to claim anything."

"I see, that makes sense. Damn, I long to know why one of the strongest races ended up in this position."

"Perhaps soon we'll know the answers." Vlad said, "The Merger of Worlds is the greatest event in the last few thousand years. It couldn't have just happened. Everything has a cause and effect."

"Okay, we need to move on."

Delia and Vlad nodded and stepped into darkland territory.

The beasts stared at them but did nothing.

Tremble.

Suddenly the ground trembled, and a huge dark serpent appeared in front of Delia and Vlad. It looked like an ancient beast, and its eyes were as deep as the ocean.

The aura emanating from the serpent was overwhelming, and Vlad and Delia even found it difficult to breathe. They were shocked and prepared to fight.

"Stop." Wain said harshly, addressing everyone at once. It also came as a surprise to him that Teres decided to show up and block their way.

"Wain Norheim, why did you bring these two here?" Teres asked menacingly, and his voice shook the ground.

Delia and Vlad were strong, but everyone had a limit to their abilities. Before Teres, they were weak and could even hardly remain calm and collected, thanks to their extensive combat experience.

"They are our new allies. Do beasts and vampires really have any enmity?"

​ The pressure from the serpent's aura was also upon Wain, but he tried not to show it and ignored the outside influence.

"Hmmm, I don't sense any hostile intent from them, but it's rather suspicious that the vampires came here."

Teres crawled over to Wain and, looking intently into his eyes, said, "Maybe they're controlling you? Have you succumbed to the influence of vampires?"

The cruel gaze of Teres could frighten anyone away. Wain understood that if he answered wrong, the serpent could kill him at any moment.

"What do you take me for? I'd rather die than submit to someone, I'm sorry you have such a low opinion of me, but those two and the whole vampire city are our allies now, whether you like it or not."

Teres didn't say anything back. He surrounded Delia and Vlad and stared at them intently.

"Okay, I believe you, but I will eat you all if I suspect anything suspicious." Teres uttered and returned to his cave.
