Lenny paused in surprise of who he was seeing.
He turned and looked at Elder Isaiah and then back at the man in front of him.
"Do you know who this is?" Lenny asked him.
Elder Isiah Nodded, "I do! This is Clawed. Rank 1 Great demon, and first son of Governor Momoa of the Waterfall City."
Lenny turned once more to the unexpected guest before him.
He could not believe that it was truly Clawed.
Clawed was a double headed demon, with Snake hair like that of his Sister.
He had bat like wings like his father that were folded at his back.
He was muscular and his size was an impressive one, looking like a monster with the intention to crush all in it's path.
He was also one of the Sons of Governor Momoa.
That day a long time ago, he had managed to escape from his father under all the commotion in the Arena.
However, while Lenny was still trying to accept his existence in this place, someone else walked out patting Lenny's shoulder from behind.
Lenny's Presence ability had not even been able to sense his arrival before the pat came on his shoulder.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLenny was able to hold himself on seeing Clawed, an action he barely made possible by clenching his fist hard and forcing himself to stay in place.
After all, a Great demon appeared before him from nowhere, instantly spiking his senses.
But he held firm because it was obviously not going not going to make a difference of he panicked or not.
However, the moment the person from behind patted his shoulder, he instinctively reacted, unable to hold his impulses to fight or flee.
He waved his hands and his swords appeared.
Two katana blades, one in each hand as he waved it for the person behind.
Not surprising to him, he did not cut anything.
"Hey! Careful there bro!" Duncan easily maneuvered away from the attack, even running his fingers across the edge of the blade as he did, admiring it.
Yet again, another familiar face.
Duncan walked up to Clawed and stood by his side with a smile on his face, "see, Hun! I told you he was going to whip out those swords!"
Lenny frowned. First it was Vinegar, and now, it was Clawed and Duncan.
Vinegar was at the peak Deep Demon rank, Clawed was at the first Great Demon rank and Duncan was also at the peak Deep Demon rank.
All of whom were children of Momoa the Great Demon.
Vinegar was the favorite child of Momoa while Duncan and Clawed were children that had barely managed to escape their father's slaughter of his children.
Lenny could not help but feel weary.
However, he suddenly thought things through. He waved his swords, sending them into his storage.
He looked around the room. This was an office but it still had couches on the side.
Lenny walked up to one of them and sat in it, relaxing his back.
That initial surprise tainted with a little fear was totally gone.
This action of Lenny's surprised all three men.
Duncan raised a brow at Lenny, "you are not scared?"
Lenny shook his head, "being afraid just wastes too much energy. Besides, if you wanted me dead or captured, you would have done it a long time ago. After all..." He took a look at the Elder and back at Duncan and Clawed, "you too seem to have been here much longer than myself."
Duncan chuckled a little as he fixed his head warmer around his head tighter.
"Yes, yes we have been here longer. Clawed has some influence here. So we came to this place," Duncan explained. "Considering our BASTARD father's power, the only place we can hide and get away with it is with another rank 6 Great Demon as him."
Lenny nodded in understanding.
However another question cane to his mind, "does she know you are here?"
"Vinegar!? No, she doesn't! And you won't tell her either." Duncan replied.
"And why is that?" Lenny sensed an underlying threat in that statement.
"Because without our help, you will definitely die in the Alpha Selection Tournament."
For a few seconds, Lenny paused and then he turned to the Elder with a brow raised.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmElder Isiah walked over to another couch. After making himself comfortable, he proceeded to explain.
"I am sure you noticed the many different species of beings that came as fighters today."
Lenny nodded. "What does that have to do with this."
"Good! Well, it never used to be this way. The Alpha Selection Tournament usually happened with Participants picking their fighters from within the Pack.
But that was more than fifty years ago.
This city of Milk and Honey, used to be surrounded by a huge water body on every side, and we lived in the secrecy of our existence from the outside world.
Only those that knew about us were those that also lived with a Primordial beast.
An example would be the Iron Back Werewolf pack.
As much as it sounds insane, the Primordial Beast does not exist to keep us safe.
No! We exist to protect the Primordial Beast from the rest of the world that wants to hurt it.
You see, Primordial Beasts are like health bacterial in the human gut that help you and I digest our food.
They exist to keep the earth alive, anchored to it's existence by the Cosmic rule.
However, the Apocalypse happened fifty years ago, and the age of demons, conquerers of our world was ushered in.
As the demons came, so did Darkline magic and Chaos magic, poison to this world, and poison to the 'Health Bacteria' in it.
After the Apocalypse, it was in only a matter of time that it happened.
The waters dried up and the Primordial Beast retracted the shield that surrounded our city.
Back then, our Alpha tried to communicate with it for a solution to the problem but for the first time in history, the Primordial Beast refused an audience with him...
