Almost There

"When is the challenge happening?" Inala asked, intending to change his plans accordingly.

"In a month," Shuwrak Zahara said with exasperation. A month was too long a time to prepare, for both sides. Basically, Narkahamy's challenge was a direct show of confidence.

"I'll give you enough time to be at your strongest. Collect as many Natures as you want and then face me. I'll still defeat you."

This was pretty much the intent behind the month's duration left for the challenge. The one who wins will tip the scales of the war to their side, stirring up the entire region.

Until now, after becoming the Varahan Emperor, Narkahamy had never taken action personally, unlike the Boar King who was active on the battlefield. It caused many Wean Clansmen to constantly taunt the other side and call the Varahan Emperor a coward.
