As the group slowly docked on Amae, at a secret port belonging to Nan's tribe, Vicente, and Larissa had just finished listening to the last bit of critical information Nan could give them to pique their interest.
The Fairy Tribe, Amae's dominant force, behind the reception of individuals from lower planes on this island, had dominated Amae from the very beginning. While in the island's distant past, there were no disputes, since when the Nine Paths were partially destroyed, and the current order established, the situation has changed, with rivals erging to take over the power on the island.
The current war in Amae was a few levels above the competition situation in Light Cay, where the forces had not reached the point of openly attacking each other. Specialists were hunting down potential specialists or even others of a similar level in Light Cay, but it was all happening in the dead of night, secretly. In Amae, the situation was escalating on several levels, with forces acting in broad daylight to suppress the Fairy Tribe.
While the Fairy Tribe was the strongest on Amae, the enemy had ford such a large coalition that even the oldest and most powerful tribe on the island had no chance of defeating them alone. As a result, the fairies' two biggest allies, the elves and the dwarves, joined in the current fight, which is why Nan had advisors from these races, and why Amae hadn't fallen to one of the fairies' rivals.
Nan knew her tribe was still standing. Even though she had left several years ago, she knew her people's situation very well.
She had an ability connected to her people, which had been weakened in recent years, but strengthened as she got closer to her holand. Now that the group's ship was parked at the tribe's wooden port, she knew her people were still persevering and understood that this was probably because of the alliances and urgent actions initiated by her people years ago.
As she had already told Vicente, her people were led by mid-level Grand Magus, the strongest on their island. Their enemies were of the sa level or lower, but he shouldn't compare these Grand Magus with those from Light Cay.
While the magical beings of Light Cay had developed artificial thods of cultivation and anchored themselves in their technologies, the forces of Amae were more traditional, focused on magic and largely dependent on the individual powers of their inhabitants.
Nan ended her speech by inviting Vicente and Larissa once again, clarifying that the Fairy Tribe would welco them and that they would have many possibilities if they joined them in the war. Not only that, they could either join as internal mbers of the tribe and enjoy the rights and responsibilities of such mbers, or even support them as external allies. The tribe would help them in one way or another in exchange for their strength.
It was at this point that the ship docked and the captain sighed, giving permission for the crew to disembark.
Vicente looked at this enchanted land, full of different flora and fauna, and said, "We'll accompany you until your group's weapons actually enter your territory. We'll issue our decision when we get there."
"Hmm, that's good," Nan said with a smile as she finally set foot on the terrain of her island.
"It's good to be back. Even though we have a war to fight, overcoming the challenges of the journey here and being in a place I know is indescribable," she said, opening her arms and feeling the natural elents welcoming her and inviting her into the interior of the island.
"Certainly..." Larissa left the ship and looked around with interest, noticing a concentration of mana and elents on the sa level as Light Cay, but in a unique configuration, obviously helpful for those magic users with a more direct relationship with nature.
Individuals with more common powers would definitely feel strengthened just by stepping foot on the island.
The elents of water, wood, earth, air, and light were extrely strong there, and the land itself seed to pulsate with vitality.
Vicente asked as he assessed the situation of the place for himself, "By the way, how many days away from your people are we now? You said that this port belongs to your people, but I imagine that you have several territories along the island."
"Indeed." Nan nodded. "We're in a secret area of my tribe. To get to headquarters, we'll have to travel for 20 days."
Larissa and Vicente were not surprised by her estimate. The island was at war and, as far as they knew, each island in Anicane was quite large.
Journeys of up to a few weeks were very common along each island of Anicane, even for powerful magical beings.
"Let's move on," she said as she got into her carriage when she saw that the whole group had finished disembarking, with the n having also removed the armants that couldn't be transported in storage items.
The convoy began its journey slowly, with the animals pulling the wagons and carriages as they made cheerful sounds.
Rex walked alongside the guards and carriage animals, while Vicente traveled with Larissa, Nan, the dwarf, and the elf of the group in the sa vehicle.
There was no one around where they arrived, so Vicente took advantage of the absence of temporary problems to plan.
"By the way, where do I find creatures with indigo and violet pentagrams on your island?" he asked the trio in front of him.
The elf said, "Do you want pentagrams for your two magical forms? I warn you, it won't be a good idea to hunt for your second power here. As much as we have good options for the light elent, the island won't be the best place for you to hunt for that kind of pentagram.
Light is a rare elent, after all. Even on our island, there aren't many magical creatures with indigo pentagrams, so violet will be almost impossible to find here."
"I just want the pentagram for my other magical form," Vicente replied, already aware that he would have to go to an island with Sorcerers if he wanted a violet pentagram.
The dwarf smiled and said, "In that case, it might be interesting for you to visit my tribe. We dwarves have a great affinity with elents such as fire, earth, and lightning. Because of this, we live in areas rich in these elents, where you'll find creatures such affinities.
But it's the sa situation as Garnot said. Violet pentagrams are rare on our island. If you want a good indigo pentagram, we can get you one. But violet, I'm afraid this isn't the place for it."
"Hmm, indigo is fine for now," Vicente said, keen to first get to know the type of creature in this domain and see if he could find any good skills.
He wasn't in a hurry, so he carried on without a decision on the matter, although he promised Hervi that he would go to the Dwarf Tribe.
And so began their journey through Amae!
