The Adventures of Rose Hood

Chapter 88: The Dominion

I got more and more nations to join the union and I returned to Selethon to check the rebuilding process.

It was going well, and I helped a bit with magic.

"Rose, we are currently rebuilding the guild hall, but we are planning to make it a training ground."

"That's a good idea, if you reinforce it with advanced barrier magic, we could also train our higher-level skills without needing to leave the city."

Then I received a system message.

[The Faction (Dominion) has requested negotiations on their capital world, do you wish to travel to their world?]

"What happens during negotiations?"

"What?"

"The system is talking to me."

"Oh."

[When a faction requests negotiation, the leaders meet in a selected spot, during that time, neither leader can attack the other. Note: the armies are not bound by nonaggression.]

"What's Dominion's relation with the God Slayers?"

[You do not have access to that information.]

"Rose, what's happening?"

"A faction wants to negotiate, but I'm worried that it's a trap."

"I think you should do it, we can defend here, and if we get more allies, then that's a win in my book."

Everyone agreed, so I went back to the system.

"I will travel."

[Travel beginning. Please stay a solid 3 feet away from anyone.]

I moved far enough.

[Traveling.]

A light struck down and I was pulled into it. It was like a flashbang. When it cleared, I was sitting in a chair, and a woman was sat in front of me.

"Hello, Cat."

"Reg."

It was my sister, the nature dragon. We called her Reg, short for oregano, because of her love of cooking.

"My name is Regala now, but you are the leader?"

"Are you the ruler of Dominion?"

"Yes, I after that elf destroyed our nest, I ravaged nations until I reached 1000, then I entered the system and joined a faction. I worked my way up from there."

"What level are you?"

"273, how about you?"

"38."

"Low, but since our native world is new to the system, that's quite impressive."

"Yes, also my name is Rose."

"Rose, nice name, but how did you get classified as the leader?"

"You know my nature?"

"Yes, shard of the evil god."

"Things have changed since then. The evil god was actually just corrupted by muck. I am the core of the creator of that world; therefore, it recognized me as the leader."

"I see, I certainly missed things. Do you have word on the others?"

"Greeny, or Elren, is married and has a child. Crimson, or Thalia, just lost the person she loved in the attack by the God Slayers. Onyx took over our home nation. Ravi was killed by the elf, Saliad."
