And with a rough womanly tone she replied with

"I step on dandelions, and i'm about to step on you or order my men to step on you if you don't explain who you are and what are you doing here."

In a blink of an eye, the women and the rest of the Calidum Lutum weren't able to see Mogranius.

No one knows where he is going with this 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 apparently with one foot against the cave wall as well.

The Women turns to Eric and says

"What is he doing? Is he sane?"

Eric who seems even more surprised then the rest of the people, even though he knew Mogranius way longer than anyone in this cave says

"I don't know, don't move."

Mogranius who even seems to use his black Wizard hat to cover his face by looking down  starts talking.

Apparently he is trying to look attractive.

He says with a deep tone

"I'm Mogranius. Level four fire Wizard, fairly a time traveler and the eye candy in the group.

Used to mentor the previous Electus and now i'm mentoring the new one."

Said Mogranius who apparently now seems to be above Eric's head now and pointing his fingers towards Eric from both hands.

The women changes her facial expression once hearing the word Electus.

With a rougher tone she says

"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."

Mogranius suddenly turns less flirty and uses his common logic again and with a interested tone he says

"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."

With a rough voice the women replies

"Any Basic Electus wouldn't be nearly smart enough to handle teleportation powers.

Teleportation isn't about brute crus.h.i.+ng strength.

It's all about study, concentration and a bright mind who can hold on to all of the information.

Every Electus prefers war, suffering and power."

Eric who seems to be quite offended by what this woman is saying, jumps in the conversation and says

"What nonsense are you talking about? A huge war started right after the previous Electus pa.s.sed away. If there wasn't war before she died, it was because she held everything together, at peace."

The women replies with a rough tone

"Ha. That's all the races in this countries know. War. Endless war. This is why the Calidum Lutum disappeared thousands of years ago. Because they wanted no part of your nonsense.

Whatever the case might be, you are not welcome here. Neither are you, aged weirdo."

Eric fueled with rage raises his voice sky high and yells

"I will not accept to be taught peace and honour from someone who attacked a group of people with lava while they were sleeping.

You are a coward. That's why you and the rest of you hid underground for thousands of years. You hid instead of fighting. You all are a disgrace. all of you."

Eric touched the short tempered women's every nerve with what he just said.

It is a surprise that she didn't attack him yet.

Because anyone else would.

The women says

"You call this bravery? You can't even stand on your feet but you oppose me. Knowing that either of us can eliminate you right now, you oppose me. You oppose us.

I suppose you can teach us a thing or two about bravery. But definitely not honour.

All you know is war."

Eric struggles to stand on his own two feet, but he manages to stand again after a minute of struggling. He then says

"I can't stand on my feet because i burned my stamina undoing what you threw against us.

Bravery is standing your ground, standing for what you believe in. Not disappearing and leaving everything behind when things get rough."

The women seems to be moved from Eric's words but of course she had many other reasons to stand for what she believed in.

Which makes her 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?

And how could you possibly oppose all the lava that several soldiers just released. You are nothing but a small child."

Eric who now takes the turn on actually being moved by a speech(and offended by the other part) replies with

"I am not quite sure what the many electuses before me started and ended but i'm fighting this war so innocent people don't get killed in battle anymore, so people escape slavery, so every person gets to taste peace.

And i can easily take all of you out. But even though you attacked us to begin with, i will not attack you. I only attack if i'm defending myself or my loved ones."

The Women who seems quite convinced now that Eric isn't a power hungry person, replies to him with a calmer tone.

"You have to forgive me. I misjudged you. You clearly are a honourable person. My soldiers and me would gladly a.s.sist you on your quest on freeing this land. but under one condition.

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."
