Rage: No worries Connel. I'll be fine.

Connel: ok but trust me you will find it weird
King:*jumps on Rage*

Rage: *pats King on the head*

King:hey papa.*smiles*
Dez:it's only cause you arn't use to it Connel.*seems slightly pissed*

Rage: Hey King. *smiles* Oh come one Dez don't let it get to you.

Dez:I just don't like going back there*seems somewhat side tracked as they come to a large cave that goes straight down*
Connel:*picks up recent on his shoulder and jumps down*

(Regent*)

Rage: oh.

Kez:the terra tribe lives under ground*jumps down with dez*
King:let's go papa*smiles*

Rage: *picks King up and jumps*

*by the time they reach the bottom it is so dark with the only lights being from Connel, regent, Dez's body paint that is showing. And a light glow from the body paint under rages clothes and they see many men with pick axes min into all of whitch seem even larger the Dez and Kez both of whitch are known for there height and muscle mass back in the shadow tribe*

Rage: *rolls his sleeve up and ignites two of his fingers for some more light*

Connel:*moving down the tunnel before they enter a dimly light room with a group of men cheering in the corner seemingly watching somthing rage noticed there is next to no women nearby*

Rage: How deep underground is this?

Connel:about 40 times deeper then our mines.
*a child around King and Regents age walks up*child:my apologies Connel but my father has went to go and deal with a problem in our mine and won't be back for a few hours
King:*looks at the group of cheering men for a second*

Rage: Well what say you Connel what do you want to do? *looks at King then to the men* Don't stare King it's rude.

Connel:ok we will wait then
child:ok also father was hoping you would be willing to go join the ceremony while you wait
connel:ok sure. Dez Kez make sure King and Regent don't head over*walks over to the cheering men seemingly slightly uncomfortable*
Dez:Well looks like Connel had to go help with there mating ceremony.*sighs picking up regent* hey regent*smiles*

Rage: oh boy, hmm stay here or go with Connel... I better go with him in case anything happens. King, you behave yourself with Dez and Kez. *goes with Connel.

Connel:*cheers slightly as Rage notices that in the center is a man and woman mating Before Connel notices Rage*yeah this is what I meant by weird things there tribe has a problem of low fertility rate and only one female being born for every 15 males born. Also they belive it increases there chances if they have people watch and cheer.

Rage: Not exactly one for cheering but I can watch. Must be hard having so few females.

Connel:yeah that's why they will hit on the females in other tribes when they visit and we will send them any female child born form the two.

Rage: I wish them the best of luck then who knows this could be the luck female.

Connel:yeah*after a while the two in the center finish and get dressed as the crowd dissipates.* I come around this time of day because it is when most of the people are working so there is few of the ceremonies when it's later in the day this entire area is sometimes covered.

Rage: I see. Must be big for them then.

Connel:yeah
Coal:*walks up with the child as well as another child that looks the same age *my apologies there was a collapse in one area of the mines. Please follow me*heads down a cave into another larger area were they see another of the ceremonies going on but Coal just heads to a area sealed by a stone whitch he moves out of the way*
connel:*walks in with Regent while Dez and Kez:*stand by the door*

Rage: *remains with Connel*

*inside is a table that coal and the 2 children with him sit across*
Connel: well we're here to negotiate a trade we are in need of some of your metals.
coal:I see well we are starting to need some more lighting Worcester for areas nearby our common rooms.
Connel:I see.*seems to milking it over*

Rage: Lightning Worcester... hmm I may have some I can spare Connel

Connel: they mean they want some biolumencent fishes or some of our gems.
King:*seems to be listening intently*

Rage: well I have a few gems that I have left over from my last runecrafting. They're of decent size.

Connel:ok we will bring in some next month after we revive our supplies.*he says smiling*
coal:and were any females born from our last ceremony.
Connel:yes we will bring them here along with the gems.

Rage: *nods*

Connel:ok I believe that is all for this meeting we will let you know if we need anything else after we deliver our supplies*stands up with regent and shakes coals hand*

Rage: *gives a wave to Coal*

*all of them leave and when they leave they see Kez being flirted on by a woman*connel:well me and rage are going to look around another area. You don't have a mate so you can do what ever you want Kez*walks down a hall as Kez is taken to the side of the room by the woman and a crowd starts forming with Coal joining the crowd*

Rage: So Connel I am coming close tonfinding a technique that may let us duplicate some of our crystals back home. Though very small ones are all I can even get to form up right.

Connel:Ahhh I see that will be more useful for other areas around her we could advertise that next time for room lights
King:*tugs or Rages pant*hey papa why do the people here keep gathering and cheering?
Connel:*looking at the fields under the ground*

Rage: well it's complicated. I can better explain it when your older.

King:ok
Connel:*checking a bag they went with before talking to a Terra tribe member with teal marking quickly.*

Rage: *looking around at some of the Terra Tribe members*

*he notices in the fields the people were around Dez's size besides the one with markings who was closer to coal and the miners size after a while Connel walks back with a few plants and food goods given by the one with markings*

Rage: those must be the Omegas...

Rage:some of them they just have the larger adults work as miners and the smaller adults as farmers. Though even still the Terra tribe men are still quite large

(Ment Connel XD)

Rage: no kidding. I wouldn't want to be in a straight up fist fight with one of them

Connel:yeah besides they don't take many omegas unless there female. It's more likely for them to capture a female
Marked one:yeah to few women around here

Rage: That sucks man.

Marked:yeah though bright side we don't stay with one person forever unlike the other tribes.

Rage: I can see ups and some downs to that. But every tribe has their own ways of doing things.

Marked:yeah I guess

Rage: At least you don't worry about unhappy relationships. I am sure there are some tribes who have that issue.

Marked:yeah and we just have to worry about ourselves and our children.

Rage: True children are the future as they say.

Marked:yeah well I'm Dia I'm Coals second in command*smiles*

Rage: Name's Rage, I am Connel's second in command. *smiles back*

Dia:nice to meet you
connel:well we better get going rage.*starts walking with Regent*

Rage: Right, well see you next time we make out here Dia *catches up with Connel*

*once they get back to the main area they see Kez with the lady he was with sitting next to eachother*
Dez:well let's go Kez Connel and rage are back.
Kez:yes father*stands up and walks over*

Rage: lets go King!

King:ok papa*runs over*
Connel: *heads to the main exit and jumps up with regent*

Rage: *picks King up and leaps up after them*

Connel:ok to the light tribe now.*walks*

Rage: right.

*later they arrive at the light travels tree filled area*

Rage: so this is their territory?

Connel:yep.

Rage: hm I figured it'd be more open.

Connel:well they use the trees for more area*heads to a latter and climbs into the trees*

Rage: *follows* interesting

Connel#yeah

Rage: How you doing King?

King:good

Rage: alright. *keeps up with Connel*

Connel:looking around*

Rage: *looking into space*

Connel:what up

Rage: nothing

Connel:ok*they see a group of children runing around*

Rage: *looks down at the children* hey King look they seem to about your age.

King:ohhh*looks over*
Tomusu:*walks on a nearby bridge between treez*

Rage: which way we heading Connel?

Connel:there chief is over there so that way*walks over to tomosu*

Rage: Right

Connel:hello tomusu
Tomusu:ahh Connel nice to see you.

Rage: *standing behind and to the right of Connel*

Tomusu:*heads down to the ground and goes inside a but with them*

Rage: Where are we planning to head after this Tribe?

Connel:the celestial. Well tosumo what do you need.
Tosumo:we are in need of some berries for a festival.

Rage: Berries? Any special kinds?

Tomusu:well we would perfer some shadow berries those would be good.

Rage: I see...

Connel:ok but in return we would like some light scrolls.
Tomusu:deal

Rage: I can always put King to get some berries. It'd be good to teach him about that.

Connel:ok we can do that when we're back
King:*smiles*

Rage: anything else we need to discuss?

Connel:no*stands up*

Rage: very well.

Connel:have a nice day Tosumo*smiles and heads out of the hut*

Rage: *follows close behind*

Connel:ok last up is he celestial tribe.*they notice it's starting to get late*
king:*yawns*

Rage: we should either make it quick or set up camp for the night.

Connel:let's set up camp we won't be able to get home till morning even if we left now.*he says grabbing a tarp form a bag and using a nearby stick to hold it up*
King:*smiles and starts to grab a tarp from his bag*

Rage: *pulls a tarp out and draws his sword. Using some magic it grows longer and he uses it to pitch the tent*

King:*crawls in tent*
Regent:*walks in Connels tent*

Rage: *crawls into the tent*

King:*curls up next to rage*
Dez:*watching the area with Kez*

Rage: *puts an arm around King* sleep tight now

King:ok night papa*falls asleep*
*the next morning Connel cleaning up*

Rage: *taking his tent down and his sword returns to its normal size and he sheaths it* I am not looking forward to this next one.

King:whys that?

Rage: well from what I managed to remember about my home... it was the Celestial tribe.

King:ohhh?
connel: I see

Rage: and if I remember my father right..:he is going to be extra rude about some stuff.

Connel:I see*he says walking to the celestial tribe though regent and Dez are gone.*

Rage: where did Dez and Regent go Connel?

Connel:regent was missing her mom so I asked Dez to go home with her
Kez:yeah

Rage: ah

Connel:yeah*they arrive at the celestial tribes land whitch also has tree houses and bridges*

Rage: *looks around hoping his father wasn't still around*

Connel:hmmm*looking around* seems like Axis is out again

Rage: Wonder what he's up to...

Eli: Well, well well look who decided to show his face. Never thought you'd manage to survive out there being such a wuss and all. So what are you some other tribes Omega or some junk.

Connel:hello Eli.*he says slightly annoyed*
King:*hiding behind rage*

Eli: Connel, whats this disgrace doing round' with you? Your personal Omega or somethin?

Rage: *glares at Ei angry*

Connel:no he is my second in command.

Eli: this frail waste of air? Please who'd want to support or follow him? Hes not even big enough to stand up to me!

Rage: I may not be as big as you but that doesn't mean I am weaker. You may have been my father but that doesn't mean I wouldn't slit your throat if I had the chance.

Connel:I'd prefer if you wouldn't talk down to my second in command.
(how tall is Eli?)

Eli: so litte guys grown some balls?

Rage: I've grown a lot more than that. I am sworn to Connel's side. Besides I am you son. You expect me to be a pushover? *smirks*

Eli: Heh you're no son of mine. But you've grown I'll give ya that.

(Hes on the taller end, also very buff.)

Connel:*glares*

Rage: your getting on Connel's bad side. Not a wise choice of action.

Eli: oh? Why you gonna have him pummel me for you? *snickers*

Rage: *growls* I'd do it myself if otnwere not against orders.

King:*peeks out slightly*

Eli: whos that scrawny thing?

Rage: that is King, my son

Eli: Son eh? Looks just like you. He a little weakling too?

Rage: he may be weak now but one day, he'll be strong. But by then age would have caught up and made you weak.

Connel:*warped behind Eli and puts his sword to his neck* insult my nephew again and you won't have a head*he says giving off a massive energy and killing intent more sever then even when Dez gets serious.

Eli: *looks at Connel then to Rage* You wouldn't let him kill your father would you?

Rage: only reason I'd say no is because I'd rather do it myself... you best apologize.

Eli: *remains silent*

Rage: *sighs* From him thats hisnway of saying he overstepped his boundries.

Eli: You don't know that

Rage: *sighs again* Let it go Connel, you and I both know he's hardly worth the effort anyway.

Connel:fine *sheaths sword and walks back to rage.*

Eli: See I knew he wouldn't let you kill me!

Rage: That's only because if anyone kills you it'll be me...

Connel:and killing you here would be like declaring war with the celestial and elemental tribes.

Eli: wise choice.

Rage: Unfortunately....

Axis:*walks up*ohh hello Connel*scratching hishead*

Eli: Bout' time. Look who came crawling back.

Rage: Call it what you will but I am with Connel.

Axis:shut up Eli.*he says calmly*

Eli: *snorts*

Rage: somethings must never change...

Axis:well let's go and talk then
connel:*walks into a house*
*rage hears yelling in a gathering area*

Rage: wonder what that's about.

Eli: Why don't we go check it out?

Rage: Sure. *he and Eli walk over*

*when they go up they see Eli's younger son yelling at a omega for spilling a bucket of water on him*

Eli: oh that Omega's gone and done it. Rage meet your younger half-brother.

Rage: I can see you two share a lot.

Eli: we sure do. You know Rage, truth be told deep down I am rather proud of you. You're Connels right hand man. Second in command of an entire Tribe sure is something...

Younger:*walks over Extremly pissed*

Eli: What halpened there?

Rage: *standing there with crossed arms*

Younger: the idiot fell over and dropped a bucket full of water all over me.

Eli: yikes. Anyway this is Rage your older half brother. He's the second in command for the Shadow Tribe.

Younger: hello I'm Jacob.*he says putting his hand up for a handshake*

Rage: Greetings *meets the handshake firmly* I am Rage.

Eli: and Rage why don't you tell us why you were made second in command of the Shadow Tribe...

Rage: Connel and I go back... part of it is because I managed to do what you struggled sith dad. I have learned to use magic and I can use it in combat. Connel trusts me to help be a leader and I will nonlet him down.
Eli: hmph...

Jacob:I see.

Rage: Though seeing this place again...it brings me back... reminds me why I left.

Eli: Too hard around here for you? A little too rough?

Rage: *glares at Eli* I am not a kid any more...if you want to talk about tough I bet your age is catching up to you so you're not as strong as you were once were.

Jacob:*chuckles*
King:*seemingly nervous around them*

Eli: *glares at Rage* why don't we have a little test of strength?

Rage: If you are suggesting a spar I am not interested. I'd rather not cause a ruckus for both your tribe and the visiting party from my tribe. Especially King here.

Jacob:well there is going to be a festival at the shadow tribe tommorow you two can spar there if I don't get to rage first.*smirks*
King:*seems more nervous now*

Rage: You would be wise to not...

Jacob:whys that the festival is fine with spars between tribes to problems the shadow tribe is the best.

Rage: I realize that but I ask who has trained you?

Jacob:father helped train me aswell as the head of the gaurds.

Eli: I sure did ever since he was old enough to knock me down.

Rage: I see and I was trained by Dez. If dad trained you Jacob you'd not enjoy a battle with me. I can use magic, dad never could.

Eli: sh-shut up!

Rage: why so upset? Its nothing to be ashamed of...just magic users tend to be able to do things that shift the tides of battle in their favor when it seems impossible.

Jacob:well I have quite a few magic like abilities of my own*he says smiling with star like energy flowing around his finger*

Rage: *looks up* take a llok behind you.

Eli: Holy mother of! The heck is that?! *flips out pointing to a large ball of strange energy behind Eli and Jacob*

Rage: the simple answer a portion of what I have learned to do. *snaps and the energy disperses* Not to mention my new armor I finished developing. I may only have arm guards but they are not only magic proof but also indestructable.

Eli: *seems a bit shaken* I expected nothing less you are my flesh and blood after all.

Rage: Whatever

Jacob:*the sight seems to make him more excited then scared* looks fun*smiling like a idiot*

Rage: I see you cocky attitude rubbed off too Eli.

Jacob:you could say that*smiles*

Eli: Heh like the son you weren't.

Rage: for better or for worse...

Jacob:*looks slightly proud*

Eli: Right

Jacob:*walks off* I'm going to go deal with some things*waves and leaves*
King:*seems less nervous*

Rage: don't worry King nobody'll hurt you.

Eli: as long as he doesn't go sniffing where he don't belong.

King:*steps back after Eli's comment*

Rage: He knows better anyway

King:y..yeah*he says seemingly trying to stand up for himself but still sounding nervous*

Eli: Cute effort kid, you got some work to do though.

King:*smiles slightly from the praise*

Rage: He's working on it

Eli: well won't be hard to outshine you.

Rage: *looks annoyed at Eli* Riiiiight....

King:*chcukles*

Eli: don't you have somewhere to be?

Rage: I could ask you the same thing.

Connel:*walks up*

Rage: Connel you're back

Eli: Connel...

Connel:hello Eli.

Eli: You're in charge now?

Connel:what do you mean?

Eli: Well I didn't remember you taking lead of the Shadow Tribe

Rage: *sighs shaking his head* his memory always was prone to slipping.

Connel:I see

Eli: Hmm...

Rage: Eli don't worry its nothing bad

Eli: if you say so

Connel:well let's go back home.

Rage: yes Connel

King:yay!
Connel:*begins walking*

Rage: *follows behind*

*a few hours later they arrive*

Rage: feels good to be home

Connel:yeah
Nora:*runs up to rage*papa

Rage: he sweetie *hugs her*

Nora:*smiles*

Rage: *smiles* I missed you Nora

Nora:I missed you to papa!*smiles*

Rage: *chuckles*

Eli: *walking back to his home*

Ashley:*walks up*hey honey*smiles*

Jacob:*sharpining a few knives made of bones*

Rage: Hey Ashley *hugs her*

Eli: *lays down and grunts Rage, still on his mind*

Ashley:*smiles and kisses his cheek*

Jacob:what's up Dad*he says not looking up*

Rage: *kisses her kindly*

Eli: Your brother....

Ashley:*smiles*

Jacob:ohh I see*he puts his knives under his clothes in special sheathes built into it

Rage: how's been while we were gone?

Eli: hmph... him and Connel... those two are tough to understand...

Ashley:it's been good*smiles* we missed you though.

Jacob:how so?*stands up*

Rage: same here.

Eli: Well Connel I never could understand him. He's just so strange... keeps his hand hidden until the time is perfect. Rage? He's your brother and my son dammit! Yet he talks as if he is some big mighty intellectual or somethin' like that

Ashley:yeah*smiles*
king:*hugs ashley*

Jacob:I see well you now how you can get dad.

Rage: *losens the strap his sword sheath is on and takes it off*

Eli: Yeah, yeah...

King:*takes the sword*look I'm like Papa*smiles*

Jacob:yeah don't worry though

Rage: careful with that. Its not a regular sword.

Eli: hm? Who said I was worryin'

King:I know*smiles*

Jacob:*chuckles* what ever you say dad.

Rage: *smiles*

Eli: *hits Jacob upside the head* get out of here...

King:*smiles*

Jacob:ok Father*walks outside*
Axel:*walks into Eli's house shortly later*hey Eli.

Rage: So anything much happen while we were gone?

Eli: Hey Axel what do you need?

Ashley:not really we had some help from Solaris around the house when you were gone.

Axel:just need you to make sure your weapons are ready for tommorow.

Rage: I'll need to be sure to thank em'

Eli: Weapons are in the back feel free to check them. But why do we need them for tomorrow?

Ashley:*smiles*

Axel:we are heading to the shadow tribe we need them ready just in case if we see a beast.

Rage: *smiles back*

Eli: *sighs* Those things... you know I bet if eve for a bit the tribes cooperated we could get rid of most of those things.

Ashley:*starts walking home*

Axel:yes true but it's still hard.

Rage: *goes with her*

Eli: Yeah yeah...

King and Nora:*follows closely behind them*

Axel: hey Eli I was wondering what it was like for you back when you were a omega....

Rage: How are preparations for the upcoming gathering coming along?

Eli: crap... which is why I got as strong as I am. I figured that if I wanted to be more than some slave I'd have to prove I am more than that.

Ashley:pretty good.

Axel:ohh I see.

Rage: good.

Eli: Yeah...

Ashley:yeah

Axel:I was wondering since I knew my dad liked you even then before well...*he says seemingly brining up painful memories*

Rage: The Celestial Tribe is coming out soon.

Eli: Right...

Ashley:yeah tommorow.

Axis:*smiles*

Rage: I should be resting... from the sounds of it Eli wants to take a shot at me.

Eli: If there isn't any further business then I'd like to rest. I am going to be giving Rage a pounding tomorrow...

Ashley:who?

Axel:Ahhh I see.

Rage: my father.

Eli: yeah...

Ashley:ohhh I see

Axel:good day.*leaves the room*

Rage: He's strong but he isn't exactly smart. He relies on brute strength to win. It won't be hard to win. After all I got trained by the best.

Ashley:Ahhh I see*smiles*

Rage: yeah...

Ashley:*smiles*

Rage: *looks off into the distance*

Ashley:*kisses his cheek*come on let's get home*smiles*

Rage: yeah. *goes to their home*

Ashley:*cooking meat*

Rage: *sits down and sighs*

Nora:*sits on rages lap*

Rage: *pats Nora's head*

Nora:*smiles*

Rage: How were thing while I was gone Nora?

Nora:they were good papa*smiles*

Rage: good, good

Nora:*smiles*
Ashley:*brings food to the tabel*

Rage: I am going to fight my dad during the festival.

Ashley:ohhh?

Rage: yeah

Ashley:I see....
king:*yawns*

*the next morning Ashley brings rage a special outfit that is the regular tribes clothes but a cape aswell*Ashley:for the ceremony you are suppost to wear this Rage*smiles*

*an omega brings Eli the Special tribe Garb for Eli as well as a large wooden club with what seems like Perserved fur near the handle*

Rage: *takes them and changes* thank you.

Eli: *snatches the garb and pushes the omega back and changes*

Ashley:no problem Hun
Axel:*heads over a while later wearing a cape and a few more layers and a small sword with a skull as a gaurs that Eli would know use to belong to Grav*

Rage: *sits down at a table*

Eli: why are you wearing those...?

Ashley and king:*bring food over*

Axis:it's the sullied that's Kent for the chiefs... *he says sighing* Oak said it was nessicary for today

Rage: you didn't have to. I am waiting for Connel. Said he wanted to talk with me.

Eli: Right...
