Without even the slightest fear in her heart and with a strong boldness on her tone, she proceeded to reply with. "I step on Dandelions."

The six foot tall earless woman, seems to have heard every word Mogranius said, despite her clearly different features.

And with a rough tone she proceeded to ask the two Ignites, well it's more like an order. "You two have to leave this place. It isn't for you to use as you please."

But to who is she talking to? It is not like either of them are paying attention, Eric is close to losing consciousness due to how drained out he's feeling, and Mogranius...

In nothing more but a blink, the women and the rest of the Calidum Lutum weren't able to see Mogranius, well Eric can't see him either.

No one knows where he is going with this odd enough... self introduction! But I think we are about to find out.

One of the Calidum Lutum growled and pointed his finger towards Mogranius who seems to be standing on his feet with his back against the cave wall and with one foot against it as well, tipping his hat downwards.

You would think that he wouldn't be able to find his hat after such an explosive battle but no!

Not sure of what to expect from this old goof, the woman turned to the young Eric, seeing him as a bit more responsible. A bit concerned, she proceeded to ask. "What is he doing? Is he sane?"

Eric however, is shook to blazing confusion, more than the rest of the people even though he knew Mogranius way longer than anyone else in this cave.

There is just too much to explain here, too little of what Eric knows and barely any energy on his body to hold a simple conversation. After a short thought, the best thing the young Electus could say is. "I don't know, don't move."

Mogranius however, started shedding a little light to his nonsense. "I'm Mogranius. Level Four Fire Wizard, fairly a time traveler and the eye candy in the group." Looking at his own nails through the introducing, as if his accomplishments were no big deal.

The old man proceeded to brag about a topic that screams for attention. "Used to mentor the previous Electus and now I'm mentoring the new one."

Finishing that little sentence, he's suddenly seen close to Eric, pointing at his head and assuring. "This is the Electus." It's odd how he got here in a second, considering being 15 feet away.

The lady changes her facial expression once hearing the word Electus, but not for the better.

She became even more grumpy, if you can believe that! With a rougher tone she proceeded to say. "One Electus long before you, separated this good continent to many countries. Every Electus lost our support ever since. Or would I say they lost the support from the Calidum Lutum. I have been here for about two hundred years."

Rather odd that she was revealing her personal information to people she wanted to kill a while ago. But it made it rather clear which race the men behind her belong too.

Hearing the words "200 Years", Mogranius suddenly turns less flirty and uses his common logic to process this situation. Rather interested, he asks. "Two Hundred years you say? That's exactly when I got teleported here by the Electus herself. Fair to say it was a spell gone wrong."

Not expecting such words from this Ignite but yet not surprised by it, she replied with ego as her motive. "Any Basic Electus wouldn't be nearly smart enough to handle teleportation powers, teleportation isn't about brute Fire."

Glaring at Eric, who's still lying on the ground. Letting silence stretch a few seconds, she stated with her tone firm. "Every Electus prefers war, suffering and power."

Quite offended by what this woman is saying, the young boy managed to focus enough and form a dew reasonable sentences.

At this war, the Ignites are the victims after all. "What nonsense are you talking about? A huge war started right after the previous Electus passed away. If there wasn't a war before she died, it was because she held everything together, at peace."

A bit unaware of Ignis' recent history due to the obvious insulation, ego was still by her side. "Ha. That's all the races in these countries know. War. Endless war. This is why the Calidum Lutum disappeared thousands of years ago."

Her claims of war feel almost like without a base, irritating to be exact. Pulling his way near the Cave's wall so he can sit straight, he expressed with his tone vary. "I will not accept to be taught peace and honour from someone who attacked a group of people with lava while they were sleeping."

Noticing how his claim there struck a nerve, and rendered the lady speechless. Eric used the golden silence to continue cussing them out. "You are a coward! That's why you and the rest of you hid underground for thousands of years. You hid instead of fighting for what rightfully belongs to you. You all are a disgrace. All of you."

With such rage and words to match it, he touched the short tempered women's every nerve.

It is a surprise that she didn't attack him yet, because anyone else would. Having the urge to correct such nonsense, she said. "You call this bravery? You can't even stand on your feet but you dare to try and oppose me. This is stupidity, not bravery."

Refusing to reply with anything to her sentences, Eric remained seated with fury burning through his eyes, although not literal fire like before.

The chances of him stalling these enemies enough to replenish some stamina, are large. So it is best to lengthen the conversation, probably not the best idea to avoid talking.

Seeing such fury, she felt intimidated, surprised and actually thought that she said a few things that weren't for her to say. It is interesting to see the egoistic find sense.

In aims to loosen the tension in this situation, she added. "I suppose you can teach us a thing or two about bravery. But definitely not honour. All you know is war." Well she has her limits of kindness after all. Every person does, but hers is tremendously short.

Putting up a strong struggle to try standing on his own two feet, using the cave wall to help himself up and with a bit of Mogranius' help as well, help from the same man who forgot that his own stamina depleted and is at a loss for words towards this conversation. He's too focused on her!

After putting up such strong effort, he brought his attention back towards the woman and proceeded to say. "I can't stand on my feet because I burned my stamina undoing what you threw against us. You keep yapping about peace but you could have killed hundreds with a forest fire. It isn't peace if only your kind is at ease, watching others suffer. It especially isn't peace if you cause the suffering, that's racial dominance."

Although confused how such words came from a young Ignite, she still had many other reasons to stand for what she believes in. Which made it easy for her to give another reply. "So you say, making sure my soldiers aren't killed in battle started from people who couldn't care less about my soldiers or theirs, is a crime?"

"No one was touching you or any of your soldiers. You attacked us!" Replied Eric, pointing out a detail this woman kept forgetting, shouting his way through even.

Ridiculously, she still stuck to her self feeding ego and ignored everything else. "How could you possibly oppose all the lava that Hundreds of Lava Blasters just released. You are nothing but a small child."

Although they attacked the group, he still agreed about one fact with her. The rulers don't care about the soldiers who died in battle as long as they get what they "fought for".

So he ignored her terrible character and tried to show sympathy to this race, even gave a final attempt to reason with her. "I am not quite sure what the Electuses before me started and ended but I'm fighting this war so innocent people don't get killed be it in the battlefield or in their houses, I want my race to taste peace."

Getting a strong vibe that Eric isn't a stereotypical Warhead, she finally put ego aside and tried to befriend people she wanted to kill. "You have to forgive me. I misjudged you. You clearly are a honourable... man? You are still a child. Me and my Guards will gladly assist you. But under one condition."

Seeing that Eric is more powerful than she ever imagined, she had to try and get something out of this. "After you win the war, you will do everything in your power to make Ignis one. No countries, no borders. Everyone living together, peacefully. As it should be."
