I was only working off a few mural mosaics etched in tiles on a wall. It was hard to say that every conclusion I ca to was the absolute truth. The more I learned about this world, the more I could guess, but in the end, it all was a guess.
“This gauntlet… it’s not just there to pass on a champion’s award, is it?” I asked quietly.
“It is not.” Calypso sighed.
“It was there to block off and imprison the human dungeon.” I finished.
In the sa way that the deep dwarf king had created a dungeon to restrain Twilight, the Fey had created a dungeon to block the human dungeon. Intrinsically, Fey hated dungeons. Dungeons were a corruption of Gaia, and it stood against everything they cared about. It never made sense that the Fey would turn around and create so dungeon to pass on so champion’s gift. However, that wasn’t the original reason the dungeon ca to be.
“At the ti, their goal was to stop the humans from growing. They had already settled the untad parts to the south, and with their tendency to resurrect and tensions growing on the border, the Fey feared that one day they would fall to the humans.” Calypso explained.
“They made the first strike?”
“It’s hard to say. This all didn’t happen at once. It was countless wars, scattered across countless centuries. It only escalated more and more. Sotis, they were at peace. Sotis, they were at war.”
“Like the humans and the demons…” I suggested.
There had been at least three all-out wars between demons and humans, and still, they sat at a standstill. So say the demons gained a bit of ground every year. The entire country of Imperial Cloud adow seed to exist specifically to fight in this battle. We were down south where it didn’t touch us, and even then, we felt the effects of it from ti to ti. If the demon and human war were allowed to keep going on, would it eventually end up the sa way? Would we use so kind of dangerous attack attempting to wipe them off the face of the Earth?
If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
Would we even have a chance, or would the fight be between Feys and demons instead? They could ally to wipe us out. Would they do that? They feared us like we feared demons. The enemy of my enemy was my friend. Wasn’t that the saying?
“It was only after the humans recovered, using the power of the church to overthrow the war, that the Fey realized the human dungeon they had worked to bury was the only thing they had that could help them win. They had built the trial… the first trial, to block off access to the human dungeon, but it was that very access that they needed.” Calypso continued.
“So, they summoned a champion from another world, and sent them to conquer the dungeon and recover the human core.” I finished. “Why? What can they do with human lore? Can they wipe out all humans?”
“The lore from the human’s original dungeon contains a trace of mana intrinsic to all humans,” Calypso explained. “If they get their hands on that, they can force it to rge with Gaia… thus causing humans to finally fully rge with this world.”
“rge with this world? Why would that-” I stopped in mid-question because the answer finally hit .
Resurrection. They planned to take resurrection away from the
