Quardonia

Chapter VII: Elemental Speech

Major Catling paced around in the meeting room while Noah, Cabal, Alpha and Omega are just standing still with nothing to say.

"Do you know why you're here, boys?" He asked them.

"No, sir." They answered at the same time.

"You were brought here to solve another conflict happening between the salamanders and the dolphins." He states, "I need you to stop those two clans before they could trigger another sort of natural disaster coming from the Westside of Quardonia again."

Alpha: I don't think that might be a good idea.

"Why is it not a good plan, Arthur My soon to be son-in-law?!" Michael asked.

Omega intervened the conversation.

Omega: You see, their intelligence are superior to ours. Having a smart brain equals to have a better chance of crafting a next level weapon.

Alpha: They invented the most advanced weapons in Quardonia. There are called guns.

Cabal: A weapon incorporating a metal tube from which bullets, shells, or other missiles are propelled by explosive force, typically making a characteristic loud, sharp noise. It can be used from long range just like a bow but way stronger.

Michael was not happy to hear that and wonders, "Well, Don't you know any weaknesses for these people?"

Alpha: Yes, Sir! We have some of the advantages since they are being too distracted building on their weapons. They never thought of making any armour sets to defend themselves with.

Michael nodded and said, "Excellent! We might be able to take them out easily just as I thought."

Omega: It's best for Noah to go solo on this mission since he was the one to stop our...fight...by himself, he must stop it alone too.

Alpha: My brother is right, the chosen one should do it as a lone wolf.

"You heard that, chosen one. Sounds like you have another adventure to proceed." Michael said directly to Noah.

Cabal: Noah doesn't know the story behind this secretive conflict of yours, Thompkins. Why don't you two tell him a short brief description of the battle.

Alpha and Omega nodded and continue their explanation.

Alpha: Alright then. I guess we have to tell him the truth, right Omega?

Omega: Indeed, brother. You begin the story.

Alpha: Okay let me read you the poem of Fire and Ice.

Alpha takes out a letter from his pocket and reads the piece of paper out loud.

"Some say the world will end in fire,

Some say in ice.

From what I've tasted of desire

I hold with those who favour fire.

But if it had to perish twice,

I think I know enough of hate

To say that for destruction ice

Is also great

And would suffice."

Alpha slowly puts it away and looks at Noah.

Noah: I don't get it? What is that suppose to mean?

Omega: You'll have to find out yourself, chosen one. Once you conquer the salamanders and dolphins, Alpha and I will come and help you with the rest of the catastrophe.
