Stormcloud-valley

When Megan heard the narrations of what Loken has done she was shocked and stood there without knowing what to say... after a few minutes she finally regained her composure and said with a determined look on her face, "You better watch your back... he might come for you in the future... you better not underestimate him... he will have a powerful ally by the tíme he comes back" Dreadclaws expression turned evil, "What ally are you talking about?? Those sassy's of the Stormclouddomain are no threat to us... I will break into a new realm by then... I discovered a loophole in the bottleneck of the Lord level... when they return I will be the strongest existence in this world... what could he do to me?" Megan was surprised by his words... but she just added "Bahamut died by the hands of Humans, remember that"

Dreadclaw was taken aback again... why was his daughter so sure he would lose. "Men, arrest her and interrogate her... do not hold back because she is my daughter... I need to know what that blacksmith did." Suddenly two shadows appeared and bound her... they were Demi-Humans with Darkness attribute... Demi-Humans had no elemental restriction they could form a connection to Human or Dragon Elements. They were standing on four legs... their hind legs looked like that of lions and their front legs were like that of an eagle with very sharp claws... on their backs a pair of big, black-feathered wings. Their names are, Nightbeak and Darkwing they were twins born from a Demi-Human mother that was one of Megan's sisters and from a Beastman that was the leading commander of the eastern border guards... a Griffin named Hangin. Those two were Dreadclaws elite... they followed his every order and protected him from the shadows.

Megan was taken away by them and looked at her father with nothing but hate and disgust... he just said: "Talk and you will be released" Megan new that this might happen but she had a plan in mind, so she stayed behind. They lead her to an underground prison below the main building of the Knightsorder.

Meanwhile, behind a little mountain deep inside the Stormclouddomain, there was a valley. Huge cliffs surrounded the valley... the walls had holes and stairs engraved to them... it looked like a town that was engraved into the walls... inside those holes in the wall were huts and buildings... in the air giant Dragons flew from side to side... ontop of both sides of the cliffs, towers were erected, from those towers the whole valley could be seen... in the center of the valley was a lake with a castle build directly in the middle of it... the castle had a few huge towers with landing platforms on it so that Dragons could land on it... there was a big and wide road leading into that valley.. a lot of carriages were heading in and out of the town in front of the lake... those were travelers, merchants, farmers and so on. Among those herd of people traveling into the town was a middle-aged man carrying a baby in his arms, "Look Ragnar this is Stormcloud valley... this will be our new home." It was Loken... who tried to let his son have a look at the valley.

As he came closer and closer to the valley he soon came to a stop... there was a checkpoint at the towns gate... everyone who enters or leaves the town has to be inspected... the road ahead soon split into four... two for entering and two for leaving... one of those two roads was for wagons and carriages and the other for pedestrians. Loken just stood in line and followed the queue... soon it would be his turn. The man controlling everyone was a strong looking Human with two swords on his back... he had a few scars all around his body... on his arms... neck... even in the face... he looked like he had experienced a lot of battles in his life. Although he looked like he was tortured and sliced up several times he gave a feeling of warmth... it was now Loken's turn. He just looked like a poor traveler with nothing much on him... "What did you come here for??" The man covered in scars asked. "I am a wanderer seeking for a place to stay... my wife died when he was born so I am looking for a safe place to raise my son... nothing more." The scarred man asked, "Where did you come from?" Loken said: "I am from the south... my wife and I lived on a small farm there."

The scarred man raized his eyebrows... in the south was a desert and in that desert lived only Beastman... an old tribe that did not join any of the domains and just wanted to stay for themselves... that tribe was not very welcoming of outsiders and fought off everyone closing in on that region. That tribe was known as the Sethraki. The scarred man looked very surprised and said: "From the south? It is hard to believe that you lived there... what about the Sethraki? How could they have possibly let you live there?" Loken came prepared... on his way to the Stormcloud-valley he came across a few people and had gained a lot of experiences regarding this Domain... so he knew about the Sethraki and formed a story in his head that would allow them to stay and could explain Ragnars appearance should he be apple to unleash his Beast form... he said: "That is because my wife was one of the Sethraki... I found her heavily wounded on my journeys and I nursed her till she was healed... we fell in love shortly after... and I was allowed to stay there." The scarred man took in a deep breath from shock and looked at the kid in Loken's hand..."This is unheard of... so you're saying this child is a Demi-Human born from a Sethraki??" Loken nodded and said nothing more. Though the scarred man was shocked he just decided to believe in the story he was just told... he then inspected Loken's rings and said: "Okay you may enter... please head to the City hall... there you can register yourselves and ask for a suitable job. Good luck." Loken just replied, "Thank you"

Loken headed directly for the City hall for Registration... he then asked for a job as a blacksmith and was told that he had to go to the working quarters and ask directly at the local blacksmith shop if there was a Job for him. When he walked on the streets he was surprised by the view of so many people... not just the numbers of people surprised him... he was also surprised by the variety of races. Human, Beastman, Demi-Human; and even Dragons were walking and hovering all around this place. No one was disrespectful to one another... Loken then realized that he has made it... he was free... he was finally able to live like he wants to... he thought back to his past life and soon tears began streaming down his cheeks. "We are free now, Ragnar. Let us become strong together."
