Chapter 11 - 11. Shift

In the Capital castle to Ruth, a great meeting was underway, a meeting to address a major decision. A decision that, once made, will have no going back.

On the highest floor of Castle Ruthuk (yes that's what they call it), a giant wooden table was carved. It was atleast 300 years old, with various legends of history and struggles of their ancestors carved into it.

Around the table were dozens of chairs, also made of wood. Sitting on it were the twin elders, and the various lords of subordinate castles.

One important thing to mention is that the fire elementals have changed over the years. Originally, they looked like humanoids, with molten lava like skin, and black horns on their heads.

However, perhaps due to their change in habitat, or due to their practices. Now, the lava on their bodies have cooled down to black rocks, with faint veins of lava glowing like rivers, in addition, the orginally molten core in their bodies, have evolved into a burning ball of fire, providing the energy for using Feir in a Feirless environment.

Also, on of the two horns on their heads have also changed, growing vines wrapping around it, allowing them to better command Nuir. Of course, this is only for the fire elementals of Ruth, for those of Caldan, they have stayed the same.

Back to the meeting, after everyone had gathered here, inclduing the lord of Nuir, the lord of Metal, the lord of Insight, the lord of people and many others, the meeting officially began.

First to speak was the the clan head of clan Kel,"My people! Five hundred years have passed since that night of humiliation, so let me ask you this, HAVE OUR FLAMES DIES!?!?"

"NO!"

"HAVE THE SEEDS OF VENGENCE ROTTEN?!?!?"

"NO!"

"We have bid our time, waiting for moment that can allow us to deliver heavenly justice for the humiliation of the past, and now I feel happy to say that THE TIME HAS COME!"

"HA!"

"Currently, the dogs of Caldan are preparing a grand ceremony, a ceremony to crown their new Emperor, the third genration emperor of that empire of traitors! When the crown is positioned upon the new emperor's head, Novick Azu will end his life peacefully, allowing his son, Norvick Azu to rule their empire, at that time their capital will have the most strictest security, yet their empire will the lowest responsiveness, that will our time, to deal a crippling blow to that empire of traitors!"

"Elder, forgive me for interrupting but what will be our target for this action?", The lord of Insight raised his hand, not letting vengeance cloud his judgement.

"Gold question, while the whole empire is focused on the capital, we will strike at a place equally precious yet with much lighter defenses."

"Elder, do you mean-", The lord of Insight stood up, his voice trembling with excitement.

"Yes, after five rotations of the sun and moon, during the grand coronation ceremony of the new emperor, Ruth will avenge it's shame of the last by cutting the head of the lion of Caldan, and destroying it's city!"

CLAP CLAP CLAP

Applause rang out inside the meeting room, with some emotional lords even crying due to excitement, this was it, this was their war to avenge their ancestor's humiliation.

After the main motive was decided upon, troops were prepared, lead by lord of Insight Sol Mesith, who is considered the greatest tactician of the era.

Finally, at Genesis Era year 517, The old emperor Novick Azu died peacefully, and the new emperor Norvick Azu was granted the throne of Caldan.

Just as he was about to sit upon the throne, Disaster struck on the city of Turk.

On the main gate of Turk, some minor clans who were granted guard duty due to ehri contributions in the past, were sitting lazily on the wall. After all, Turk was governed by the Frandel clan, with its clan head Helios Frandel still alive and well, although old. Under the leadership of The Lion of Caldan, the whole city was filled with prosperity and progress, with no one daring to make trouble, after all, the heads hung at the gate of Turk were not to be ignored.

After centuries of development, the construction and art and culture of Caldan and massively improved. No longer did they live in black match boxes. Instead, now obsidian was mended to make various designer houses, with white ash used as a colouring agent.

Now, the houses of Caldan were two story classic French style houses, with black walls, and white pillars and doors and windows for aesthetics. Even the roads were made of black and white bricks, arranged in various patterns, earning Turk the title of Jewel of Caldan, with the capital preserving its ancient ways of building in order to conserve their cultural heritage and history.

At this moment, a young guards on the wall, only a hundred years old was leaving off when he noticed a cloud of ash coming from the distance.

He was puzzled and confused, cursing his bad luck thinking that a storm was coming, however, when he took out his two crystals and aligned them as a makeshift telescope (you get the point) and zoomed in, he forze in horror as he realised that the cloud of ash was caused by thousands of people, no thousands of soldeirs marching towards Turk.

'Coronation ceremony, New emperor, Relations between Ruth and Caldan, light defenses', he quickly connected the dots and shouted at the top of his lungs," All guards! close the gates and arm the walls!

We are under Siege! I REPEAT! TURK IS CURRBETLY UNDER SIEGE!!!!"
