Ice Castle Clan

At the north of the Gold River, there was an another city state, North River. But they were not connected to the Nebula's City States.

North River was ruled by the Northern Clans mostly. Their economy was built on fishing industry and farming.

North side of the maze was the coldest place in the maze, especially in the winter. That's why there were less trade routes and less battles in the region.

But since the Gold River's traveler groups left the city, Gold River was wanting to show its power to the northern clans.

That's why the North River city state had an issue about Gold River. The leaders of the clans were talking about the situation.

One of the leaders of the northern clans, Curtis Ice Castle from the Ice Castle clan was ready to leave his village for the meeting with the leaders.

He was thoughtful with his blue eyes and blonde hairs. He wasn't willing to join to the meeting of the North River since his village were suffering from food shortage.

"Dad, I want to come with you please!"

"We talked about it. It is too dangerous. Did you listen your mother? Maze Dragon is attacking to the people."

The boy looked to his father and,

"But they say dragon is not powerful. A man fought with him alone."

Curtis was bored the hear the same story from everyone, "Don't believe what they say."

The boy sadly hugged his father and returned back to his friends.

The woman next to Curtis talked, "Curtis do you have to go?"

Curtis looked to her brown eyes and spoke, "I don't know Mary. They are saying that Gold River became crazy after the last events."

Marry was curious about the topic, "What made them so crazy like that?"

Curtis started to explain, "You know they were using travelers to protect the city from bandits. But there had been some clashes between knights and travelers. So right know, travelers vanished from Gold River and knights aren't enough for them I believe."

Marry, "My dear, even if that's true. Their numbers are less. They can't attack."

Curtis talked, "That's the problem. These Westonian bastards send them an army."

The woman couldn't believe what Curtis said, "What? Westonia? Why are they doing that?"

"Because of their king's hunger for power."

Curtis looked to his outfit and,

"I think I have to go for the meeting. I don't want to go when our village has a food shortage. But if Gold River attacks to us, it will be a bigger problem."

After ten minutes Curtis and warriors from his clan started to travel through the North River. While the bells for the battle was ringing, Arthur was about to enter to a war between North River and Gold River.
