Chapter 172: Core’s story

Let’s go inside first." Sydney suggested and no one was against it. They followed after her and entered into the palace.

The chief ran over with delight all over his face upon seeing her. Long time Queen!!" He greeted enthusiastically, they jad been waiting for her to visit them ever since the news of her return reached them.

The chief led Sydney away to talk some important matter while Sia shamelessly decided to roam around and see ifnsue could find a snake beastman she’d take home as her other mate.

Sydney didn’t stop her and only left shaking her head helplessly. Men in this world were like gathering riches? The more one had, the prouder they’d be!

The chief first explained the state of the clan at the moment and there were a few who joined them, no females from other clans were allowed into their territory and only those that wished to mate would have to travel out of the clan for that matter. Also, they had allocated their territory boundaries clearly and happened to have sufficient prey there, infact, most of the beasts in the forest had ran off after being hunted relentlessly and many had been forced to move, since the environment in the snake territory was relatively safer, many had migrated over but this was a matter they hadn’t let the rest of the city know about as they feared being attacked.

Reason being was that Titan wasn’t here and Sydney along with Ash had also left, this only left them with a choice of ensuring their boundaries were not breached.

Hearing the chief explain, Sydney felt this was really conicedental wasn’t it?

I did all that!!’ Core’s smug voice rang out in Sydney’s mind.

You did all this?" Sydney didn’t believe it.

Hey, don’t be so doubtful!! You completely have no idea how powerful I was back in the days! I’d command mountains to moves, destruct, I was even capable of giving life, what do on a matter of mere migration? Infact, if I will it, I can have all these beasts in the city go crazy!!!"

Oh..is that it...then please demonstrate for me some of your formidable power to see."

Hmph..it’s because I’m not at my full power that I can I pay do something so little. Don’t belittle me or else...." Core threatened.

Or else what?" Sydney said coldly.

Humph!!! Core immediately shut up like he didn’t exist at all.

Sydney shook her head and tirned to the chief, this matter should definitely remain in the clan alone. We don’t need to mind about other matters for now. As for the matter concerning Titan, I’m not sure where he went but with the mark, I’m able to tell that he he is fairing well, he’ll be able to return though I’m not sure of the exact time or day. I’ll make sure to drop by time and time again and see how everyone is doing and same goes for you, if something happens, make sure to come to my home or send someone, we are family after all." She said and stood up. She had been here for a while.

Okay.. I’ll listen to the Queen." The chief said respectfully. also my queen, there’s a a way to have the lord return earlier and that is through summoning him via the mate mark. I also only know of this matter thanks to my bloodline. Those above the tenth rank can be summoned over by their mates and they’ll arrive in time before the summon even ends."

What? Something like that exists?" Sydney was wide eyed at the moment in disbelief.

Not only is it in the snake clan, it’s among other races as well! It was my idea!!’ Core boasted once again ticking off Sydney but she was astonished. ’It was your idea?’

It is. A long time ago before I was yet to mature, this was a dead place and there was no life or green..just me. When I gained a bit of conscious, I traveled to places I had never seen before and from those places, I learnt of life and death but since I couldn’t stay over there for long, I was forced to return to this place that had my existence. I constructed what I had seen in other places, for how I did it, I don’t know as it was natural for me, but again there were things that were way out of my hands, the only creatures I could form were the wild beasts but before they gained that form, they were initially spirit forms. My first forms to nurture were the seven spirit core beasts. At that time, I was no longer lonely and didn’t even need to leave my place. Years upon years, those spirit beasts begun to attain a form tjat could be touched and felt and with that, they begun to grow, as for how? I dont know either, but after some time, it was like they had begun to grow independent of me yet not. I was confused at that time and didn’t know who to see advise from. Conversations with them were always about battle and despite having them around, I was still extremely lonely. After many many many years, I was able to duplicate the form I had seen before and that’s the form that you and people from your world have. Many of the spirit beasts were also curious and begun to try to copy this form but as it turned out, the male beasts were unable to do so, only the females were capable but that came with a price, they’d loose their beast forms forever.

Hehe..at that time, there was a wide range of chaos and was forced to eliminate those that had grasped the way of forming a human form. I personally eliminated what I had created, you can imagine how painful it was for me..." core’s pained voice could really rip one’s heart at this time.

I didn’t destroy everything and gave my shelf a chance for revival but with set rules, I wouldn’t interfere in matters of these forms ever again. I hence went back to the place I first found myself and burried myself focusing on the two instinctive rules embedded in me, life and death.

However, though I had chosen to stay away, I didn’t know that those that I had spared wouldn’t let me be. For how many years had passed, I had lost count and one day, I was dug out. I was in my original form and since I had been in a spiritual state, I failed to defend myself and was shattered. I escaped as far as I could only to find out that a great number of females were no longer in their natural spirit form, they had given this up for the sake of beauty and tenderness....this was a rule I only learnt afterwards. But with this act, a tremendous price was paid, the number of females dwindled at a rate visible to the naked eye ajd before long, one female was forced to accommodate twenty or more males.

However, not all spirit beasts agreed to take this step, many chose to remain in their natural form as spirit beasts and acclaimed themselves as the purest race, upon the news of my destruction spreading out, the beasts spread out all over the lands. Spirit beasts, Beastmen, men and the first core beasts."

Core beasts were my first creations so they didn’t mingle with others, the spirit beasts remained in the spirit forest where my core was initially burried, Beastmen were forced out of the spirit forest and had to settle in other region, and as for the men...they are the many unfortunate ones that fell in the hands of those that wish to destroy me. Some of those unlucky ones are your former mates, Ray, Kale, Enzo, Greg and Kevin."

As for how you come to entangle yourself with me...well, when escaping after my destruction, I ran to a crack from where I had seen your world and hid there, I wasn’t at my full power and couldn’t fight my enemy nor do much, alot of deaths happened when I was hurt but all I could do was hold on and look on. After many many years once again, I found hope, a descendant of one of my core beasts rushed over to that cave and with him, the path to your world would widen enough for me to go through but I didn’t, me leaving was equal to me abandoning my hard work and letting it die...I couldn’t. So I waited and at a poont of time, you came...you were capable of entering the cave...I did what I had to do at that time with out your permission and imbedded myself into you and linked myself with your spirit...for as long as you lived, my home would continue to flourish and with time, I’d be capable of regaining my power and together we’d rescue this place
