The Gluttonus Beast

*Ryoku's P.O.V.*

After a long and winded speech, explaining Blaze Clan and Magnus Clan joining together through marriage, everything finally settled down, and everyone's nerves calmed down. Now all remaining members of the Blaze Clan were looking between me and Sheila, who was sitting with the rest of my clan, and after coming to a silent decision, they almost all burst out into cheers.

"Hahaha! We are finally free from that Tyrant!"

"We're free!"

"Long live Lady Sheila, long live Lord Ryoku"

"Long live-" And they continued to chant long lives for me and Sheila for a while, and after letting them let out their suppressed emotions for so long, I held up my hand, and they started to quiet down.

"I thank you all for your good wishes, and I'm glad that you are glad. Now, however, is time we discuss the changes that are going to happen...however I won't be the one to do so...Sheila, dear, could you be so kind to explain to our people." I turn to look back to where my clan was and looked towards Sheila. She looked to me, then to her people, then back to me, and I nod my head in silent approval, and it seems that's all she needed as she let out a small sigh, then walked to me then rest by my side.

"*Ahem*, As my new husband has already told you all, the Blaze Clan will be changed from today forth. The first major change will be the Blaze Clan will be no more-" Hearing her say that gulps of shock left the mouths of all members of said Clan, some even looked like they wanted to say something, but Sheila started talking again.

"The Blaze Clan will now be part of the Fire Distract of the Magnus Clan, my husband's clan, the second change is that all the hierarchy of the Clan, from before, will now mean nothing, so from today forth you and the other members of the clan are now equal to each other, so no more looking down on the other races in the Blaze Clan anymore. That is all." Sheila after saying that took a short bow, then stepped back behind me, seeing that, it was my cue to take the stage again. So clapping my paws together, and a wide grin on my face, I brought everyone's attention back to me.

"Now that everyone is now informed of the changes, I'll now tell you about the Magnus Clan that you are all members of now." After saying that I went into a discussion, basically telling them all that I told my earlier members, then after the discussion, I performed the blood ritual, officially introducing them to the family. Then after asking Sheila to take care of the rest that needed to be taken care of, such as, the process of moving them and the other members of the clan to the Fire District, informing the other members of the clan of the changes, and getting them ready for their ritual. I took everyone I brought and headed back to the clan.

*Back at the Apollo Temple*

"So I have to say overall that was a whole lot easier than I expected it to be...but then again, we did beat down their tyrant and basically saved them from a doomed future, so I guess that's why it was so easy." Hearing me the council, along with Mungo and Magma, nodded and made noises of agreement.

"Your and Mungo's power was probably another factor in making this complex situation very straightforward...especially after you cut down and very much burned down the last of the fanatics of the Origins faction." Luo gave his input into the situation.

"That is very much true as well, as Lord Ryoku said himself, they made his life a whole lot easier by doing so." Kimble added in, Zoe by his side nodding along, agreeing with him.

"Hahaha! You really showed them, Lord Ryoku! Even if there are more of them, which of course there will be, they will be too cowardly to try anything. And even if they did, they will most likely be snuffed out by the others, hahaha!" Ajax's powerful voice thundered in, clearly enjoying what had transpired. I nod at them all, listening to their inputs and judgments, finding them all to be good and helpful. After talking about that for a bit more, I stop all the chatter about that and move on to what to do next.

"Alright, everyone for now I want you all to rest up and be able for tomorrow as by then Sheila should be done with the new members of our clan in that volcano, and moving onto the next, so I want you all to be ready to move them into their new homes in the Fire District. Try and do so as smoothly and cleanly as possible, I want as low problems as possible. I advise you all to build new homes as well as I highly doubt that we have enough, for the soon-to-be new faces. Council dismissed, see you all tomorrow. Except for you Mungo, you stay." After hearing my piece, they all turned to Mungo, pondering why only he would stay, but soon turned to me, bowed, and then left, only Magma turn back to flash Mungo a thumbs up, that Mungo responded with one as well, along with a nervous and shaky smile. Seeing him so nervous I just shook my head slightly with a slight grin.

"There is nothing to be afraid of Mungo, I'm not going to berate you, in fact, I kept you here to tell you that you did fine." Mungo's nervousness disappeared in almost an instant, hearing me, and his eyes brighten up and his shaky smile became a real one.

"Thank you, Sensei."

"No need to thank me, Mungo. I'm glad that you were able to learn a valuable lesson in your fight with Scar, that you were able to admit and own up to your mistake, that shows that you ARE strong in mind, you just need to know how to act according to a situation, aka, you just need more experience, and that will come with time. So don't beat yourself over what happened." I walked over to Mungo and pat him on the shoulder, and walked him to the door, along the way he was looking into my eyes and nodding along.

"Now all you need to do is rest, as we have a lot of work ahead of us. Goodnight, sweet dreams, and love you." I lightly tapped his back, causing him to stumble out the door of the Temple, but he caught himself and sheepishly turned to look back at me with a slight blush dusting his cheeks.

"*Ahem*, Yes Sensei, thank you Sensei. I will take this lesson to heart. And...love you too." Clearing his throat to reorientate himself back to normal, he bowed and told me, the last part of his sentence came out silent and nervously. Seeing him like that I couldn't help but laugh, seeing me laughing he couldn't take it anymore and ran off down the stairs, leaving me to myself. I shook my head at that, but a smile couldn't help but appear on my face, and it wasn't going anywhere anytime soon. .

Left to my own devices, I went back inside the Temple and went to my fur pillow throne and lay down on it. I thought back to everything that has happened to me since coming to this world. My first kill on that Green Wolf and discovering Beast Points, claiming the cave from those Lightning Wolves, finding, meeting, and helping Mungo, resulting to the start of the Magnus Clan, then ȧssimilating his tribe into the Magnus Clan, making them the first members, and now finally all the stuff with the Blaze Clan.

'A lot has happened since I came here. The Blaze Clan was my first major move...next will be the rest of the clans, I mean obviously, after all, I need to unite all the clans to unite this island, I wonder how that will go...it should be as easy or not too much trouble as the Blaze Clan...hopefully. Anyways, food for thought after we get everything situated...I'm tired right now. Goodnight Eve.'

[Goodnight Yahweh]

'Well onwards, to a New Beginning..' And finally, I lay my head down to rest.
