Dungeon Prowler : One Man Army 359 Arrival At The Island

Everyone in the room wanted to hear the actual age of this una.s.suming man, he did look aged and gave the feeling of a tree that has been rooting in the centre of the earth far longer than memory, but he just chuckled and said "there are far older things than me out there, ent.i.ties that can only be fathomed through abstract names like Chaos and Void, Darkness and Light, they remember the birth of Fate, the shaping of Destiny and the first trickles that became the river Styx, and even they have something they fear, so compared to some, i am just as much of a youngster as that little girl over there, kids, no matter how old or powerful we are, so focus on yourselves, the big leagues are not even in your level of life".

"So mysterious, feels like its gonna be boring if we go beyond the scope of our own cycle of creation, guess i better have fun now and die happy" wise words spouted like a fountain of youth from the ugly teeth of Dustan, who, without even noticing the several jaws that hit the floor, continued rolling his dice to play his boardgame.

"Seriously, just making sure that no one can hurt my family is a task beyond impossible, if even the primordial things Void and Chaos can fear something, then where does this endless chain stop?" Yunan was a bit disheartened, it just dawned on him how utterly ludicrous the idea of being safe, ever, and he could bot help but question his own resolve. Thankfully Hephaestus came to the rescue and said to Yunan in a rea.s.suring manner " listen here buddy, when you get to a point where you can sit with Death as your equal, there will not be any who would dare offend you, mainly because on that league, snuffing out a universe requires a mere thought, still, even if those primordial things care not about worship or revery, the cla.s.s of being beneath them do, instead of a bunch of adventurers needed to support me, they require multiple universes worth of worship to even live, for those beings, anything that can damage a single universe is a thing they avoid kike tge plague, so you just need to basically be able to shake hands with this man without getting atomised"

Luna on the other hand had a more direct way of saying it "if you wait to be strong enough, your beloved ones would be dead, your whole universe would be dead and even their souls would be extinguished, therefore, focus on making them happy, and that should do, after we all die and take the eternal nap, you can then aim for dwelling among the primordial beings".

With all thr support and encouragement that only Yunan would think of as such, the topic changed to a few other things, including guessing at ages, playing the board game, and other equally insignificant matters till they were reminded by the genie that they were about to arrive at the island and should prepare for disembarking.

It would be great if the fortress could land and they would leave it like ordinary humans, but we are talking Debauchery here, ordinary and normal were concepts long lost from their dictionary, of course they would not act like what others would a.s.sume, they did not even ride the cloud falcons, they went for the more "interesting" action of free falling from a cloud.

even showing off had limits, for others that is, to Debauchery there was only interesting and boring, and neither of the two had any limitations on what they could do, as is proven by a score of men and women falling from garenteed death heights with a 3 year old toddler. They attracted do much attention with their boisterous laughter and high pitched screams as they turned from dark specks in the blue sky into twenty suicidal idiots that only decelerated just before they hit the ground, causing the rather crowded street where they landed to fall in panic.

They had to pay a fine and were warned against such actions but nit one of them actually cared about it, evident by how Dustan was. .h.i.tting on an awakened female law inforcer that looked like half lizard and half minotaur, even though she was on duty and had not finished scolding them just 2 minutes ago. On the other hand Balin was more interested in shop clerk that was busy polishing the items inside.

After the law inforcer left the party red faced with a promise to bring some of her co-workers to a mixer later on, Yunan and party followed the cat Sapphira as she led them to her own home, she lived in a very big estate that looked like a primal jungle, but after pa.s.sing through the 100 meter long tree line, they were welcomed by a s.p.a.cious and sunny looking gra.s.sy plain, catnip was everywhere, scratching poles and climable geometrical constructs as well, one could see this place was a heaven for cats, therefore, it had so many cats it was almost crouded.

Sapphira enjoyed the respect from the cats of all shapes, races and sizes that were present in the front yard, she led her family to the estate at the centre, the closer one got, the more humanoid the cats became, at the door, an old butler looking male was waitingfor the guests, he bowed deeply and kept silent while opening the door to the estate.

"No need for preparing anything, we will move to my courtyard, tell the patriarch and the matriarch to expect us after we settle ourselves", speaking those words, Sapphira did not even stop to grace the old butler with a glance, behind her, everyone whispered greetings and "thanks for your hard work", mainly to bring her down a notch, even so, the social hierarchy was already established and maintained in this cat based society.

The courtyard owned by Sapphira was very clean even though she had not been there for close to twenty years, fresh fragrant flowers in some good china, a cool pool with fishes swimming, wood furniture, hardwood floor, and some other luxurious items one would not expect to see in the awakened island.
