"Before the battle in the Forgotten Forest, I t an Arkan once before. It was a girl who tried to kill . I had never t her until then, and yet she had an incredible, pure hatred for just because I was a human." Wain muttered while looking at the silhouettes.
"Well, that's not surprising. It took them a long ti to find the remaining humans, so when they detected your bright energy, they imdiately ca after you. Dragons wouldn't let them act so brazenly in a new world, so you were in so kind of space, right?" Aurora asked.
"Yeah... I was in a bar, she attacked there." Wain nodded.
"In a bar...? What a strange place. You an the whole area was just one bar?" Aurora asked with a confused look as she raised an eyebrow.
"Exactly. Honestly, this is the quietest place that I have ever been. Also, Sven is the best bartender, his cocktails are sothing just unreachable." Wain muttered while thinking about the unique taste of the cocktails as though he could feel it now.
"Sven..." Aurora murmured as her eyes widened, "Wait... What's this bartender's full na?"
"Sven Hellem. Do you know him?" Wain tilted his head in a questioning manner.
"No! You'd better never et that man at all!" Aurora exclaid with a startled look as she waved her hand, "Wain, don't ever go into that bar again! Do you hear ?"
"Hmm? Why? Who's Sven?" Wain frowned.
"You don't need to know about it. Just forget your way there! Please!" Aurora exclaid while clasping her hand to her chest.
'Damn... She's shaking with fear. I knew it, Sven has many dark secrets. Well, I'll have to find out about that.' Wain inwardly muttered.
"Wain...?"
"Okay, I hear you. Anyway, I can get a drink soplace else." Wain nodded.
"Oh..." Aurora sighed in relief.
"Why do the Arkans hate the humans? Is there so long-standing animosity between our races?" Wain asked as he stared at the silhouettes.
"I can't be sure of that for sure, but one of the main reasons is that the humans are too much like the Arkans, also the humans are the ones who didn't let the Arkans consu the whole world. The Naless King is a real nightmare or devil for them that ruined all their plans. Let show you." Aurora waved her hand.
The silhouettes disappeared, and together they appeared a massive battlefield in the center of which stood one man, beside him were hundreds of corpses with rivers of blood that flowed from their bodies.
"This was the result of one of Naless King's many battles against the Arkans. Even though the Arkans were much stronger than most of the Pillars, there was nothing they could do to him. It was a massacre. Even though I was too young to participate in the war then, I learned a lot from the archives and the stories." Aurora uttered with a proud look.
"Why did the Arkans attack us? What were the other races doing?"
"Well, it's pretty complicated. The Arkans knew that if they didn't deal with the humans, the Pillars along with the Naless King would destroy them, so before the other races began their takeover, the Arkans attacked us." Aurora muttered.
"I see. You were able to repel the attack and keep the Arkans from consuming the world, but many of your warriors as well as Naless King died, right?" Wain asked while looking at Naless King's silhouette.
"Yes. So of the races found out pretty quickly that the Arkans were attacking us, so they rushed to our aid, however the Arkans had allies. You probably know that the Angels and Elves don't like us because the fact that humans devour souls is disgusting and horrible to them. I don't know how, but they made a deal with the Arkans and beca their loyal allies, at least for the duration of the Great War." Aurora uttered as she snapped her fingers.
The battlefield disappeared, and an image of an Elf, an Angel, and an Arkan appeared in front of her, with a Naless King that stood opposite.
"Hmm? Angels and Elves could stop everyone else?" Wain asked with a surprised look, "Are they really that strong?"
"No. Most of the Pillars joined the war later, and Arkans held them back for a long ti, so at the beginning of the war, it was the Humans against Arkans, Vampires against Elves, and Demons against Angels." Aurora explained.
"Well, I guess it wasn't just Arkans against us, right?"
"Yeah... The Demons and Vampires were our main allies, but so Pillars decided this was the perfect opportunity to take us out. For example, the Constucructs thought we were too dangerous, but they were thwarted by the Axalts, anyway, the further the war went on, the more chaotic it beca." Aurora sighed in regret.
"I see." Wain nodded, "What the Arkans suffer losses? Obviously, they couldn't achieve their goals."
"Most of their Elders are dead. I don't know if they want to do it again, but it would take them a long ti, though we no longer have anyone as strong as the Naless King. Also, most of the Race Heads have been seriously wounded. I don't know how many of them are awake yet." Aurora shook her head.
"I see... I understand the situation, but there's sothing you didn't ntion. What were the Dragons doing then?" Wain asked.
"Well... They weren't involved in the Great War, or rather not really."
"Hmm? What do you an?"
"The Dragons consider themselves the Guardians of World, but they were divided on whose side they should have taken, so they started a civil war, if you can call it that." Aurora shrugged.
"What kind of nonsense is that? Isn't it obvious that the Arkans that wanted to absorb the other races were the only threat?!" Wain frowned.
"I agree with you, but according to so, the Humans may pose just as much of a threat or more because of their unique abilities."
"Ah... Tell more."
"Of course."
...
For the next few hours, Aurora told Wain in detail everything she knew about the Great War. It was a shock to Wain, but he listened intently.
