Inheritor Of Magic: The Magi King

Chapter 1013: 1013 Water Warriors

They were halfway through the brisket when the balcony door was swung open from the outside, and a small group of water Fae burst in, led by a feral looking Merkin with a trident in his hands.

“Who are all of you, so close to our borders?” He demanded, his rich blue scales flashing in the light of the party going on down below.

Wolfe stood up and raised a hand in greeting. “Welcome, we mean no harm. I am Saint Noxus of Forest Grove, in the Frozen Wastes, and those with me are mostly local Guardians who helped change the humans power plants from conventional to magical power today.

We only stopped in for a bite to eat, we’re not planning to invade the ocean.”

The Merkin looked suspiciously at him, his wide mouth gaping like the fish out of water that he truly was.

“It takes so many to fix the power?” He asked.

“No, it mostly only takes me. But these are my wives, and the others are there to introduce us to the workers, as they are local.” Wolfe explained patiently.

“The ocean is our territory, and it has been since before it was cursed.” The warrior insisted.

If it came to a fight, it would end quickly and brutally for the Merkin group, whose warriors were not only uncomfortable on land, with their magically reshaped legs, to remove the fins at the end of their feet so they could walk on land, but the strongest of them was only Rank Four.

The important part of his sentence was the last bit. The ocean was theirs before it was cursed. They weren’t territorial Fae arrivals from the most recent batch, they were locals, who had survived the reshaping of the world.

“And I won’t try to take your territory. Would you like to join us for dinner?” Wolfe asked, seeing that there was a large amount of food still on the cart, when most of their group had already begun to slow down.

The warrior thought about it for a second, then shook his head.

“We don’t eat without the big boss.”

Wolfe nodded in understanding. “Well, if the big boss is nearby, they are welcome to join us as well. If not, I will come looking for them the next time I am here, so we can eat together.”

Sharing food was a sign of trust and friendship for most of the Fae, and Wolfe hoped that these Water Fae would take it the same way as the others he had met.

The Merkin warrior seemed to be silently waiting for something, but there was a large eared Demon among the Guardians, whose expression looked startled. Wolfe thought back to his elementary school science classes.

Many aquatic species communicate at an ultrasonic frequency, which humans can’t hear, but many other animals can. If the Demon possessed hearing far beyond Wolfe’s enhanced senses, then he might be picking up on a conversation that the others couldn’t follow.

“The King Of The Sea says that he will meet with you soon, and the big boss is invited. They will send someone to your people with a message.” The warrior finally announced.

“If you would please tell them that there is a pond in Forest Grove, twenty metres deep, but freshwater, not ocean water. If they want to open a portal, that would be the best place for an aquatic messenger.” Wolfe replied.

He could only hope that whoever they sent didn’t eat all the ornamental fish that were stocked in the pond.

Then Wolfe realized that if this warrior could contact the King of the Sea, he could pass on a message.

“If you have a chance, please inform them both that we are working to end the pollution. I know that it floats out over the ocean and the water Fae are not fans of it. It will take time, but we hope to get everyone converted soon.” Wolfe informed him.

The warrior nodded, and then turned to leave without another word.

His group followed him, but not without longing gazes at the fish pies that Galrog was protectively guarding with his body.

The big Wrathbringer frowned. “If they’re the local Guardians, why haven’t I met them? I thought that the ocean guardians also came to the regional meetings?”

Cassie patted him on his leg, as she couldn’t reach his shoulder, even when he was seated.

“They’re not from Faerie, they’re native to this world. Fae who survived the great war, and their offspring.” She explained.

The Demon’s eyes lit up with interest. “I had forgotten those existed. I got to meet a feral Demon the other day, one from the mountains who had come down because he smelled another of his species and was hoping to find a mate. Quite the odd fellow, but much less hostile than those ones.”

“A feral Demon that wasn’t completely insane? That’s a new one. Though I suppose a lot of the ones in the mountains are former Familiars whose witches died. They’re feral, but haven’t always been. That might be the difference between them and the ones that were brought for the trial grounds in the valley.” Wolfe replied.

The Demons shrugged. They hadn’t had much interaction with the Feral Demons, so they didn’t know what to say to that. They had watched some of the footage, but the only parts that were interesting were the fights, or the visitors trying to navigate traps. They hadn’t cared to watch the daily lives of the feral Fae and Demons who were caught in the time loop.

They weren’t really up to anything important, and the ones who watched the magical feed from the trials wanted action, not a slice of life.

Cassie smiled toward the ocean. “I get the feeling that they don’t like land creatures much, but from what I have learned, the oceans have a higher population of intelligent creatures than the land does, as the remaking didn’t target them.

They weren’t attacking anyone, and the spell targeted the threats when it remade the world, so they were mostly left alone to their own devices as the entire world changed around them. That had to be quite the shock for the Ocean Fae who had no idea what was going on above the water.
