The next day, Rain found himself bombarded with messages from his friends who were curious about the previous night's tremors. They wanted to know what had caused the ground to shake so violently. However, Rain had no answers to give. He attempted to use his rain spell, a magical ability that allowed him to scan the entire country, but even this powerful spell didn't yield any clues.
Despite his best efforts to investigate and find out the source of the tremors, Rain came up empty-handed, and the mystery remained unsolved. Until Geo showed up again with some ander..." Geo gulped while showing a pale expression. "Something happened in the beast people's country... it was probably a fight. One hell of a fight."
"I thought that by now, all of their towns would have barriers... do you have any other information?" Rain asked.
"No, sir," Geo said. "My apologies."
Rain couldn't place the blame on Geo, as he had already shared a considerable amount of information with him. However, the current situation left Rain in a difficult position. He felt a pressing need for more information about the mysterious tremors, but it also seemed that the only way to gather that information was to venture into the territory of the beast people.
This decision wasn't one without its risks, as Rain suspected that the tremors might have been orchestrated to lure him into a trap. Aware of this danger, he proceeded with caution, fully understanding the potential risks and uncertainties that lay ahead.
"Can't you just use your spell to check their territory?" Seara asked when she saw the doubts in Rain's face.
While Rain was writing the responses to everyone, he explained to his wives what he saw... he didn't have all that many answers, but it was better than nothing. For now, he just told everyone that the beast people capital were attacked and somehow they killed a flock of dragons.
"That is quite the accomplishment... were them inside the barrier of their capital?" Terra asked.
"Yes, they were unable to use magic, but even so..." Rain said and then recalled that he saw some craters around the city, but pretty far away from it.
The craters made Rain wonder what caused them... they didn't seem like signs that they had been created from battles... they were pretty far away from the barriers as well. Rain didn't mention them to Seara and Terra, because he didn't know how to explain them.
"Maybe the beast queen is back, after a vacation in the lands of the unknown enemy and after drinking a bunch of power up juice..." Rain said. "Saying that out loud made me realize how weird this sounded."
"We have to stay on high alert for a while..." Terra said while rubbing her chin thoughtfully. "That being said, even if you didn't see bodies of the beast people, it is hard to believe that they didn't suffer any casualties."
"It is also unlikely that they will attack us when the dragons are there... the real problem is what the dragons will do now that they know that the beast people won't go down that easily," Seara said.
For the dragons, heir easiest targets at this point were the humans, who lacked the means to effectively counter the dragons' use of magic. However, there was a significant obstacle to launching direct attacks on human territory. To reach the humans, the dragons would have to expose their backs to the beast people and the magic people, who could pose a substantial threat.
It was difficult to see a scenario where the dragons would be willing to take such a risk, even though they were that powerful... it was weird and almost comical that the enemies of the humans that were waging war agaisnt them worked an a defensive line for them.
