As the banquet went on into the evening, the leaders of the myriad clans had their fill of the succulents wild at and several items of wine and juices.
It was truly a feast.
Whilst they indulged in bliss, the knife throwing match reached its climax with each throw and deflect sounding like a crescendo of sounds. Subtle and lodic but dangerous.

The door at the front swung open and a youthful figure stepped into the hall and at that exact mont-—
—shing
The knife left the back of the hall and went spiraling to the front in a brazen attempt.
"Impudent!!!" A voice resounded next to the young man as in an instant the knife was shut down with the fling of a hand.
An assassination attempt on these very grounds? Especially on one of the second sky sovereigns? Other than impudent what other word could be used to describe such a brazen action?
"Who??" The man whom stood before the young sky sovereign asked with rage in his eyes, they invited them here to celebrate such a montous occasion and they tried to kill one of their leaders? Soone had to die.
The entire hall went deathly silent. This joke of a challenge had in a second turned to sothing else, who amongst them dared to take the sky sovereigns life?
"Stop overreacting Barus, do you think a knife could ever succeed in killing ?" Contrary to the reaction from the guard, the young man seed much more relaxed about the situation "Especially one from a weakling"
His eyes drifted through the crowd and landed on Kang before looking away and heading to his sit at the helm of the hall. It was as if saying I know it was you but also keeping the atmosphere cordial.
He could blow this whole thing out of proportion if he wanted, but he didn’t because he liked such a tense atmosphere. And that was what Kang was banking on when he did that. It wasn’t ant to take his life, if a asly knife could do that then he wouldn’t qualify to be a level 5 existence.
Yes, this young man was Thane. The second level 5 existence that had risen to power just 10 years ago. He was the one Kang had issues with.
"Hmp" Kang scoffed then turned away
10 years ago talents from all over the sacred lands flocked to the golden griffin clan in the guise of Mourning for the loss of the second level 5 existence of the golden griffin clan.
But when they arrived their intention beca clear, they scaled griffins peak by hand a feat never done before and had a skirmish outside of griffin city . A clear disrespect to the higher ups of the golden griffin clan.
the first sky sovereign could only take it though, he had just lost his wife and with that, his power over the sacred lands.
Fortunately for them, a talent was brewing in the clan, a young man whom would challenge the Royal griffin walkway and erge not only victorious, but also enter the untouchable stage.
Yes, it was during that event that Thane here had beco a level 5 existence and he did it by using the likes of Kang as a stepping stone.
Seeing Thane sit at the helm of the hall filled several of the talents here with annoyance and yearning. It could have been any one of them. If not for Thane their clan would be of this position right now.
"Rise up, the first and third sky sovereign have arrived!!" The guard accompanying Thane walked forward and announced in a loud boisterous voice. All these people had once gathered in Griffins Peak to force their hand and now they were here again, but this ti they were powerless
Everyone in the hall took to their feet in respect as the other two level 5 existences strolled into the room and took their seats.
The hosts had arrived.
"Ohh it really is the old man from the griffin clan" on the bloodserpent clans table, Po comnt as he watched the third sky sovereign take his seat.
Unlike like Leon, Po had occupied a place of power for a long ti and as such had seen the golden Griffin old man a long ti ago in eldoria. Back when the place was less tense that is.
"I guess so" Leon responded with a causal nod. He heard about what happened and knew very well when the plans were taking place but he had never actually seen the golden Griffin old man Drothan.
If the golden Griffin clan was the defacto leader of the sacred lands before. With the addition of this new guy they would be the undisputed leaders.
Just based on strength alone, there was no force they couldn’t demolish.
"Firstly," as silence soon overca the hall, the first sky sovereign spoke. " I would like to thank you all for showing up so unexpectedly to this place."
"Who would have thought that you all would have it in your hearts to co congratulate us on such a glorious mont. As for those who couldn’t make it….sad" the first sky sovereign Ziaman spoke with glee and aning.
Those who didn’t co would face what the golden griffin clan had in store for them. They just had to wait and see .
"We are obliged by your presence first sky sovereign, you have honored us" the gigantic leader of the titianium giant clan spoke calmly, yet his words resounded throughout the hall.
He and his clansn had not been here last ti, just like so other clans who abstained from the event. However they would all face the sa tune hence him forcing his giant body to climb this place.
"You’re welco," ziaman nodded before turning to Drothan. "Would you like to do the honors Brother?"
"Yes" Drothan smiled and turned to the crowd.
"This is our dear brother and the celebrant Drothan, he will be taking things from here" The first Sky sovereign thane looked to the crowd before introducing the new Sky sovereign.
He was a well aged man unlike Thane, rumors had it that he had lived for as much ti as even Ziaman. Of course those were just rumors. In truth he was barely 350 years old. He was just unfortunate to have beco strong at an old age.
"I won’t waste all of your ti, let the festivities comnce" Drothan smiled and said with a wide smile on his face.
