The outpost of the (Kingdom Roahadren) 

A lone scout is sitting under the shade of his thatch roof, he wished that his duty didn't have to be so boring
He wished he didn't forget his water skin back at his house
Scout: *sigh* I should buy a magic game when the next traveling merchant comes by, that should keep the boredom at bay

*quiet Rumble*

Scout: huh? What that?
At the distance, the scout sees a massive dust cloud following something
Scout: I hope it isn't a ×rock bird× flock [Magic eye] 
What the scout sees Isn't a ×rock bird flock×, what it was is unknown
But it has the shape of a Box and a small thing on top of the box

Scout: What is that? I have to alert the town!!  [Flare]

[Meanwhile]

Vec is speeding down a dirt road.
With little hostile encounters, the scout vehicle was thundering down the road with the silent electric whine of the four motors
Vec was heading to the nearest coast that can be reached
By studying the local geology and weather patterns vec has located it.
This is also a great way to map out the local terrain 

[Time skip]

After multiple hours Vec has finally arrived at his destination
The land was lush with tropical trees and fauna
Colorful flowers and birds were everywhere
And Giant Palm trees, most reaching 90 to 100 meters and few 130 meters 
But all was not quiet

The 30 ton Recon vehicle’s engine produced noise that was hard to hide in a Tropical forest

[Location: unknown Jungle]

Vec[danger of exposure-High, usage of smaller and stealthier approach is advised]

Vec[Dismounting Drone]

A few minutes later a muffled whine of electric Motors fill the air around the LRV as the small drone lifted into the air

the drone found signs of Civilisation, Dirt Paths made from continued wear and tear had made the ground almost rock solid,
Small houses and farmsteads dot the nearby landscape, the optics of the drone find movement near one of the houses, A group of children playing in the fields, their watchful caretakers observe the nearby woods

And soon the mechanical eye goes on its journey, examining everything it can see.
Half an hour pass and the Drone spots something that might be of interest and signals the LRV

Soon Vector’s antenna catches the transmitting signal and connects with the drone

What Vec sees is a small Village, it has a small river going through the Village, the village seems to have a local Bakery and a small smithy

The main income of the Village seems to be from farm products and wild game fur

What was the most interesting was the amount of Diversity in this one place

He could see a Heavily muscled man with features of bulls

A woman with canine ears and tails

A Child with Feline tail and ears

This was intriguing as most of the People that Vec has met were mostly human
What was more questionable was how these people can live,
The biological differences between human and animal would surely have made breeding impossible with the genetic differences

But Vec's musings were cut short as the LRV soon alerted Vec of nearby movements

(Pov change)

The ×Roahadrean scouts× were the best Scouts in Roahadrea, they were adept at tracking down any intruders or wild Beasts
But today was different, the nearby Outpost spotted an unnaturally fast "thing" that was as fast as a ×legendary Rock Bird× and had the shape of a box

“Are you sure that it wasn't a tamed Rock bird?” Said Zonkar

“From what the Border watch said. It is more likely that this is a Construct from the Dwarf Union said” Starpelt

“Whatever it is must be fast, as such we need to set up an Ambush,” said Ganok

“I hope it is strong, I don’t want to spend all this time just for it to be a weak monster,” said Starpelt under his breath

With that, the Pack goes into the jungle to find this thing that intruded into their land


[Pov Vec]
[Location-Central Command]

Wwwwrrrrrrrr

The sounds of Electric motors fill the air as a squadron of drones lift off, their mission?
To map out everything in a 60 km radius, this is all posable thanks to the newly built Comm station

Everything is well in the camp

[Alura, what can you tell me about the Nations?] Vec asks

“Well… there is the Fairy Kingdom. Which you know first-hand since you fought them, they are Isolationists, they are skilled in Spirt magic and are masterful in ranged battles, they are also adept in all other types of combat as they live for hundreds of years

Vec ponders this [why did they then try to capture me? Was I mistaken with their enemies?]

“Not exactly they are just mistrustful with everyone, although it might have also been your emptiness of magic or lifeforce” answers “but from what you have said, you aren’t powered by magic, but this Electricity”

[That is correct, im powered by electricity, what about the others?]

“I have been slumbering for most of my years so my memories might not be exactly right, but there are the Human forces to the west, Dwarves are to the north bordering the humans, the emerald Dynasty, they are a race of Merfolk, their civilization is located on top of many Volcanoes, because of this they are Rich from all the Gold and jewels, the most common ones they get are emeralds of witch they adorn their cities with. Then there is the Rohadrean Kingdom is a race of Beast folk, they specialize in Physical Magic

[What are the Differences in those magic? Are Physical Magic different than the Spirit magic you use?]

“Well of course!” “I will try to simplify the differences” *cough* *cough* 

“Physical magic is centered around the body, for example, if you want to hit 5 times the normal, you can do it with this magic”

“Elemental magic is focused on controlling the elements, if you are good at Fire elemental magic, you can cast a Hundred firebolts to rain down upon your enemies’

“Then there is the Spirit magic, the hardest for other races other than Elves and Fairies, this type of magic can affect the souls of other beings or change what they see, for example, you can make an illusion of a dragon to fool the enemy or even speak with Spirits!”

[will this spirit magic affect me?]

“I don’t know, were you hindered when you were entering the magical forest?”

[No]

“Then you aren’t effected by it then, interesting, hmm? Oh! I almost forgot!”*rustle* *rustle*
“Here you go!” what Alura hands… places on Vec is a small metal badge, it had a small crystal inside that glowed with Azure lights

[what is this?] as vec holds the Badge with his omni-tool

“That is a rune of Protection, it will deflect weak spells and weaken stronger spells,  think of it being a small gift”
As Vec looks at the Badge all he had to say was 

[Thank you]
