The Gluttonus Beast

Hey just a quick notice before the chapter starts, as I want people to know, I'm not the best with an upload schedule, as I'm not the most motivated person as everyone can tell by my uploads. But comments do help as you can tell by chapter 44, that one commenter made me feel like I should post more for them, hence another chapter was out 3 days later. In all, what I'm getting at is that comments, interaction with you guys, really anything keeps me motivated to keep going because with nothing at all, I feel like I'm just talking to myself, so whenever I have the thought to write a chapter, there is just isn't any real motivation to do so. Hopeful, I can change that, but then again if I'm not writing chapters for the readers, then who, myself? Anyways, I hope you peeps enjoy the chapter, peace! (151 Words)

'Finally, today is the day that the Blaze Clan becomes part of the Magnus Clan.' I thought to myself as I look in the direction of the Blaze Clan. There Clan was located in a massive dead and hollowed-out volcano, the perfect place for a clan dealing with fire and its other such related elements. I looked away from it to get myself ready to head out.

*POP* *POP* My bones popped one by one as I stretched, and as I stretched I reached out in my mind into what I like to call the [Blood Nexus]. It isn't a skill hence why it doesn't show up on the skill list of me or any clan members, but it is something everyone connected to me by my blood gets. It is essentially like a network connecting all of us, so I can quickly speak to my people and them to me. It has more abilities but this is one of the main ones, I call this [Bloodopathy].

Reaching into the [Blood Nexus], I connect myself to the Pillars, Magma, Mungo, Sheila, and her guards. 'Everyone come to the Temple, it is almost time to go.' After hearing my message they all respond with affirmative and head my way. After that, there is only one more thing to do. Still, in the [BN] (AN: short for Blood Nexus), I now reach out to my people.

'Members of the Fire Distract, an important event is happening today...we as the Magnus Clan will be linking up with the Blaze Clan today...your former rulers, they will be joining us after we kill their former Tyrant, Scar, and his daughter, Sheila, will take over. I'm sure some of you have already had met and even spoken to her, so I'm sure you all know that she will be a kind leader. Now saying all this all who want to join gather in front of Temple, so we can be on our way shortly, thank you for your time.' After my speech, I could feel my people's excitement in my blood, as they all quickly rushed to the Temple, only about a portion staying because of their duties.

*After a bit of time*

I open my eyes and get up from the 'bed' made of furs in the center, far back of the Temple, like a mini throne, and head out. Upon opening the doors, I met everyone lined up on the sides, the Pillars on the left and the others on the right, upon seeing me they kneel and bow their heads. Walking past them I look down the steps to see my people kneeling on the side by the end of the steps like a King about to walk down the red carpet. Seeing this I can't help but be amazed.

'This all feels so surreal, it feels just like yesterday I was at the bottom of the barrel...maybe I still I'm...but right now I can't help but feel on top of the world...this is a magnificent feeling.' I turned and looked around, at everyone and everything. Right now, we can bȧrėly be called a village, in my opinion, we have only about 100 people, with about only 60% of that gathered here, and simple 'houses', storehouses, and other such things that made up the district. Thinking of all this I nodded and my eyes hardened.

'This is only the beginning, we may be small and inconsequential, but that will change with time, I'll make sure of it, I won't let me people be a forgotten memory, nor will I let someone or something steamroll over us...not again. This is my- no, OUR beginning, and if the first step to that goal is to CRUSH Scar and his people, then so be it.' After shaking my head and getting away from my thoughts I looked back to my people.

"My people raise your heads and ready your spirits as we are about to head to the home of your previous masters, be ready for the scour and belittlement they will most certainly throw your way. As your...Leader, I hope you all won't react to such petty and childish games and insults and start conflict, because in the end...it will all be pointless, and most importantly, they will become your family members very soon. Finally, to the main point, we are heading to the Blaze Clan for the event, I'm sure they will explain when we get there, so I won't say more. Now, let us head out."

"Yes Lord Ryoku!" My people's response shook the very ground with its volume and power. And with that, we headed off into the direction of the Blaze Clan.

*3rd-Person POV*

*A Few Minutes After Ryoku's Speech*

As Ryoku and his people were heading to the Blaze Clan, the clan was an ant-nest of activity, there were people from both sides of the factions getting ready for the event that was upon them, the battle that will quite literally change their lives forever. For once, in many years, they all worked together to get everything set up. And looking down on his 'throne' in the place this would all take place the 'Coliseum' or as they like to call it the Slaughterground.

"Hahaha, today, today is the day I finally will unite the clan under my fist, there will be no one to oppose me after today. And after this the others are next, only I can reign supreme, hahaha." Scar laughed evilly as he waited for Sheila and her...help, which will be nothing as no one could attest him.

"Yes only you Lord Scar can reign supreme, let Sheila and her help be crushed under your feet, and may they wallow in helplessness and despair. But Lord may I ask why to give her a chance at all why not kill her and all that support her?" Scar looked to his side to look at his most faithful and loyal servant Scab, that was currently kneeling by the side of his throne with his head down.

"I really would have liked to do that, but if I did, who would be our breeders for my servants, and not only that, with this, I will crush most chances of a rebellion or things of that such. One of the things I hate most are rats scurrying around in MY territory. Oh and because why not have a little fun while crushing that bitch under my foot, hahaha!" Scab looked on to his master with awe and worship.

"Yes, my Lord, only you are this glorious and brilliant to think of all the possibilities that can happen." At this Scar roared in laughter once again.

"Hahaha, now is about time that they are arriving, until she ran in fear, I wouldn't be surprised if she did." Scar sat on his throne, unbothered by the upcoming fight, with a twisted, evil smile that cause those who were looking at him to shiver in fear. While Scab only rapidly nodded his head with his own snakish smile.

*At the main gate*

Ryoku, with Sheila at his side, and his people arrived at the Blaze Clan's main entrance and entered, under the condescending gazes of the guards, and people from the Origins Faction, and the hopeful, but mostly worried and fearful gazes from the Renewal Faction, but they remained unbothered by them, and marched on. This trend continued all the way until Sheila showed them the way to the Slaughterground, where the fight will take place.

When they got there Sheila looked at Scar sitting upon his 'throne' and his minion standing at the bottom of it.

"I have arrived Scar, and have brought my helper, and he has brought his people with him." Sheila looked to Scar and said, at that Scar snorted.

"Hah, I knew you were desperate but has your desperation made you go insane as well. Not only did you not beg or ask for maybe someone from the clan that, while that wouldn't have stood a chance, would have been a good warm-up. You brought a...whatever that wolf-looking thing is, but you brought those filthy monkeys, that had the audacity to leave and not inform me? Hahaha, you really know how to crack me up, you should have run when you have the chance now you and your...filth will die today with you, haha-"

"Enough." And with that, all fell silent as they all turned to look at the accuser, Ryoku.

"I've had enough of your patter, let us get this over with.." He said in a tone cold as ice.
