Pov Rakan:
Everything in this place is crazy, there are so many races living here like Werewolves, Ghouls, Nymphs, Arachnees, Lamias, Hobgoblins, Ogres, Orcs all are Demis or monsters that are living in the camp nearby and even so others that are the ones that live in the mansion.
This place itself is also strange, a small Dungeon without monsters, from what I heard master Zenos is the Dungeon Master of this place, among the many surprises I found here one of the biggest was finding Prince Ivan Trigan who should have been dead for decades.
I talked to Ivan and he more or less explained to about this place and the various things here, he also told that they plan to build a city here, this was more of a surprise for , a city within a dungeon, only a madman would think into sothing insane like that.
But at that mont while exploring the forest I checked into a beautiful lake with a waterfall where I saw a beautiful red-haired woman, she didn't look human.
"Good morning, I don't think we've t yet." (I)
"I know about you Rakan the Mage."
"How do you know ?" (I)
"Layla and Nix co to visit often, they've told about you and what's been going on lately."
"Looks like Zenos is making another one of his plans, I'm really happy to see what he's been up to."
"You know my na, but I still don't know hers." (I)
"I still don't have a na, at least for now."
"But you can call Guardian, that's what the people of the village have always called ." (Guardian)
"Why don't I see you at camp?" (I)
"I prefer to stay away, I like quiet places like this, plus I'm giving a space to see what Zenos is doing from afar." (Guardian)
"Why do you need to do that, it doesn't look like he's hiding anything from anyone." (I)
"I'm just trying to get a better understanding of him, so I have to try to be impartial, so I walked away so I wouldn't be too friendly with him." (Guardian)
"Are you testing him?" (I)
"Yes, I have to be sure how much he cares about those around him and the way he does things." (Guardian)
"So far I've liked what I've seen, he can be a bit unpredictable, but he's going out of his way for the people of the village, and I like the way he treats his enemies." (Guardian)
"What do you an by that." (I)
"Maybe you don't know, but Zenos is a very strange person." (Guardian)
"On the one hand, he is friendly, kind and even kind to those around him." (Guardian)
"On the other hand he is hard on himself, he is always pushing and training, he gets lost in the things he has to do and forgets about himself if there is no one to pull him back to reality." (Guardian)
"Also he can be a real monster when dealing with enemies, he knows when to be cruel, brutal and decisive." (Guardian)
"He didn't seem like soone that complex, what I saw was soone easy and even carefree, he didn't seem like soone cold and cruel." (I)
"That's exactly what makes it so weird, people can just see the surface of it, few people can see what's hidden at the bottom." (Guardian)
"I only started to understand these things after talking to those closest to him, especially Diana, she has a very interesting story of how he saved her a second ti." (Guardian)
"" (I)
This woman was easy to talk to but I felt like she was also getting the information she wanted from , I don't know why soone like her is here but she gives a reassuring feeling for so reason.
I spent so more ti talking to her, she told the things master Zenos did in the mountain range, I didn't know such incredible things had happened there.
The conversation was very good, but soon a Lamia who seed very strong appeared, I've t her before, if I'm not mistaken her na was Sapphire and she was the leader of the council from what I heard.
I didn't want to interrupt any conversation that the two would have, so I said goodbye, managing to understand a little better about this place, I've only been here for two days and I already feel like I'm in paradise, the people are nice and fun, the food is delicious and they have a great collection of books that entertain a lot.
The only problem I might see is the wild way the camp people dress and the way they are liberal with their sexuality, but from what I've learned that's the way they are and I'm going to have to get used to it.
After being taken by surprise once, now I always keep an eye on my surroundings, I found that this way of living can be a lot of fun and I can see that it also helps in training people.
But those who have been designated as my subordinates seem to be having a hard ti, the won are getting a lot of proposals from the male Orcs, Ogres, and Hobgoblins.
But the won refused all proposals for the most part, save for one woman who seems strangely interested, but the n are all exhausted every day, they have been begging to learn detection spells and defense spells to defend themselves from the won of the camp.
Ogre won seem to find it interesting how human n are more fragile than Ogre n, the problem is that all won in this place are very high-level Demis, n who don't beco strong can et their end here, the sa can be had for weak won too.
Seems like being kidnapped by won is a common thing if you're careless, even the two Dark Elf sisters were taken by a Lamia from what I heard, none of them are really hurting themselves, besides this has beco an incentive for their training and studies, I think which I understand why they keep it that way.
But I think I'll talk to the Alchemist in charge to make birth control potions to prevent unwanted children from being born, this should solve a future problem, I'm surprised no one has thought of it until now.

Pov Zenos:
After Elsaris and Nix returned I was hugged tightly by Nix who didn't want to let go of and preferred to carry in her arms, it was a little humiliating for .
"Co on Nix, let go of ." (I)
"No, I've been away for two whole days, so I won't leave the master for the rest of the day." (Nix)
"Let her go, it's quite common for Fairies, Spirits, and Familiars to like being around their contractors, if I'm not mistaken the contract you have with Nix and Layla is stronger than usual, so I can imagine her reaction might be because of that." (Elsaris)
"You've returned Elsaris." (Samira)
"Sister!!" (Elsaris)
As we were walking Samira appeared from afar and waved at us, then Elsaris scread and ran out to hug Samira, she was talking about Nix and soon after does the sa as her.

In the middle of the afternoon I gathered everyone for a eting, Elsaris told what they discovered during the Demon's interrogation, I thought the others should know too since they are more connected to this continent than I am.
After everyone was gathered in the hall I let Elsaris lead the eting to explain everything to everyone, during these two days I had already told everyone everything I knew about the Makari Kingdom.
"During the interrogation, we were able to confirm everything Rakan had ever had and we also discovered important locations for the Makari Kingdom." (Elsaris)
"But most importantly, we discovered the reason why they always rebuild the capitals of the Realms they conquered, even though there was no need to do so." (Elsaris)
"They're rebuilding the city because they're building a big magic circle to cover the whole city." (Elsaris)
"What kind of magic circle?" (I)
"We don't know, the Devil didn't know either." (Elsaris)
"Do you know sothing, Rakan?" (Ivan)
"During the 20 years I was forced to work for them, I worked countless spells and magic circles, but I can't think of any that need to be that big, they wouldn't say anything to a slave either." (Rakan)
"You said that one of the strangest things for the Makari Kingdom was that you were attracting people to migrate there, you were doing it to the point of wreaking havoc on neighboring Kingdoms to attract more immigrants." (Vanessa)
"Are you insinuating that they might be willing to make so kind of sacrifice on a grand scale?" (rica)
"That's my guess, this seems to fit in with the information we have at the mont." (Vanessa)
"We have to identify the magic circles sohow." (rica)
"If I know what the magic circles are I can know where to start looking, I'm sure I can find so clues, but first I have to know which magic circle they're using." (Rakan)
"We have to know more, the best way to do that is to find out who rebuilt the cities." (I)
"Elsaris, do you know where this man called Leonardo is who was responsible for rebuilding the cities?" (Irina)
"Yes, he's in the forr capital of the Third Kingdom they conquered, it looks like he's trapped in the Duke's mansion who is a Demon too." (Elsaris)
"So we already have our next objective." (I)
