In Familiar town, things happens just slightly and slightly off the usual way. Even though it was pretty much the usual thing since many other realms also used this method of government, the Famialaor Realms used the congress styles government. Them they coupled with that style of government with the council styled government wherwghey made rather critical matters which could not just be discussed in the open of the streets.For the rather open matters, the Town square was a place where the whole of the town met.

The Hana she knew would have taken laws into her hands the very moment she was threatened but right now, it was different. She was standing down which meant she was trusting in her judgment this time. That trust, Ronke reasoned, was something which she did not want to lose now. It gave her courage. However, unless she was able to make the best of it, then it would not matter. No, it would not matter in any way that the Hadjan Female thought of her. That was why she had to think critically and ensure that she was not going to make any rash decision out here. Still, while having those thoughts in her head, the Elders did not think it lightly to have here. Their customs were their customs. And it did not matter what the others thought of it, for

When the new comers stepped into the picture, the Elders could pretty much tell that the sway of reason would be great.They exchanged furious looks with one another, saying nothing to the other but yet telling only so much with just their glance. It was clear that they would not be in support it of whatever mandate that the new comers had come up with.Remarkably, the Elderrs could only marvel within themselves. To think that the Unique Familiar who they had turned out and vanished from their homeland could return to them. It showed the true Familiar spirit, the spirit that never did give up even when the entire Heavens was against them. It was the enduring spirit and in Ronke, they could see that sport settling upon her.To think that the Uniiqe Familair, a lady of that matter would rise up to the ranks f the CFR in Amnor was amazing. The other Unique Familiars who they had cast out often did not amount to anything worthwhile. They often does out, overtaken by

No more did the noise of the crowd disturb the harmony of both Hadjans as they stood still, both of them staring at the ground. After Abiola dispersed the assembly, he had said a few parting words to the crew and then left, his head heavy in thoughts. The City was in mourning. Whether they blamed Ronke for bringing in Ascenders in or not, it did not change the fact that Ronke was gone. There was no way in the Seven Heavens that they were going to get her back. At least, not in the form she was, when she was alive. Ken and Spyder stood a while back, watching but not daring to say a thing. They had not known the crew for too long, their only actual connection being no one sles but Bayo. Now, Bayo was gone. Or rather, Bayo had gone rogue.

Several of the Familiars seemed stuck to even act as they stared at Bayo, standing over the gigantic mass of the Turtle Backed Sonic Beetle. She could instantly guess what they were thinking.

It was fearsome, its huge buck tripling the confidence of the monsters as it stared at him balefully. “You Want some?” Bayo taunted. ‘Focus, Biayo.’ Yamsin Called out to him. ‘I know, I just want to say something to it.

“Ah!” Ronke moaned as her body slammed helplessly against the ground. She thrust her hands to both sides, her vision hazy. Looking for something to grab onto and regain her balance. However, for each object she touched, she could only make out the soft, squished and slightly distorted forms of them. These were once living creatures. There were the bodies of the beasts which had been stuck down by the familiars so far. Pride surged in her heart but at the same time, looking on through the hazy vision of hers, she felt a bit of panic. What was Bayo up to now? “Hey, need a hand?” A voice called to her, helping her get back up. Rejuvenated by the source of the voice, Ronke summoned all of her will power as she rose, hefting

None of that they had faced up till now could prepare them adequately to face a wave. She knew that much. Despite being Lord Classed, she still felt uneasy. Somehow, something would happen. Something that was unplanned for. That was what she looked out for. The one thing she would be able to tank out with her Lord Classed Soul Strength. Law of War churned in her soul space, furiously boosting her spirits as she held her blade, tense but ready for action. She dashed to the left, slicing through, her eyes shut.
