Chapter 313 - Debating Decisions!

Up here in the high mountains after a good night's sleep, the group was debating their next move. Well debate is a harsh word since they already know what the task is, but the topic here became none other than Dilli Flury.

What could they be talking about Dilli? Trust? Well no that topic is quite over with the moment they heard that she killed ill.u.s.tratian Guards right when she got the chance, trust no longer became an issue even though she technically associated with ill.u.s.tratios.

The group knows that, but doesn't really care. King Xakro ill.u.s.tratio lll died as well on that fine day which explains her sudden change, furthermore she puked out dark blood. Two trust worthy people made the mind control part clear.

The topic is, if she should stay here up in the hidden domain and provide as many help as she can throughout tasks or tag along with the group forever. The tribe up here is now acknowledged of who this group if Ignites really are, and how powerful Eric is.

At first Bittore felt dumb for tricking an Electus, at the other hand she felt proud became she managed to trick another Electus. She just got a hunch of who they are before they rushed out of the domain, but when they returned everything was explained. But the point here is that she completely trusts Eric's choices, so if Eric decided for Bear Claw to stay here, there would be no one to say otherwise except Bear Claw.

"We could use her here, considering what level(4) she is at her Fire Controlling abilities and considering that she is only 27 years old. She can help us out around here big time." Bittore insisted, she has been eyeing Dilli for a long time now and it became well established that it wasn't with a bad intend.

Proceeding to praise her, Bittore added. "Plus look she is even fitter than Commander Alia." Trying to do everything to keep her here, but at the same time Bittore isn't exaggerating.

If she would be compared with a man, she would flip and probably tackle him. But if compared with a child or women, Commander Alia would call them stronger regardless. But at this case it is very true, "Indeed, I was going to ask her what exercises she does. 27 years old and this strong? There has to be a secret type of training." She ended her sentence with a wink towards Dilli.

She is even 6 feet tall, which adds up to being a tremendous warrior. The silver greaves around her leg explains how much muscle she is carrying in between them, it would take 6 hands to get a grip around and the curves on her body are abnormal as well. She caught men looking at her b.r.e.a.s.ts with a size a fourth above the medium for more times than she can remember.

"Oh I can show you, I'm sure you will out compete me eventually." Spoke Dilli, with no intend of ego as it is clear to see.

She has been having thoughts that are a lot clearer days after she got that poison out of her head, she has never felt this free. Her mind is clear and rage is out, although some old habits are still there. Like, she would prefer to stand up instead of sitting to stay comfortable.

She is even standing up now near the fire, given the people a glimpse of the aftermath that damaging mind control got, people became less freaked out of her behaviours.

"But can I say a word about this?" She asked, and hence forward showing another behaviour she sticked too. Closing her eyes while asking a question, no one saw it considering that everyone is seated near the Campfire which has become almost ongoing all the time.

"Please do."

"We could use it here."

"Don't be shy."

Everyone else of the group was here near the Campfire now that they are debating on this decision, you can guess who of the group said what.

"As much as I would love to stay up here and help you all, I'd prefer helping Eric and Mogranius." Here she became a bit abnormally sweet considering the fact that she is asking for other people not to decide her future, but she didn't want to speak rudely to the people who welcomed a stranger so warmly.

Then she continued to explain her point so there wouldn't be any hard feelings between them. "Here I can't really meet with my enemies from the past, but down at the Lowlands I'm most likely to see them again."

Seeing that the people became confused, she added swiftly. "The Grand King is dead, yes. But there are many pieces of shit out there who deserve to die." She cussed with her tone remaining calm, and then remembered that Children are around playing with Mogranius. Rubbing the back of her head later in a bit of embarrassment.

To give her a bit more right here, and mostly considering his own group. Eric has a word here since after all he is the Electus and at some aspects a bit smarter. "We need her a bit more, only I and Mogranius have fire controlling abilities and it tends to become difficult in tasks. We need her in our Arsenal.

Now with aims of proving his point with the aid of ego, he continued to explain. "Plus you 15 ladies managed to single handedly shorten the entire ill.u.s.tratian Army, the ill.u.s.tratios are weaker than they ever were for 3 Eras. I think you will be fine here."

"The boy has a point." Spoke Mogranius in the middle of the story he was telling to the little kids around him.

Bittore realized what he is trying to do, no one can out manipulate her. But at last it is Dilli's decision as well, if she wants to stay with this little group then she can. "Alright alright, I can't argue against that logic."

But now with keeping secrets out of the way, Bittore wanted to let them in on a little trick. "But before you go, do you want me to teach you how we suffocate enemies with the aid of your powers?"

That's where their eyes opened up in the l.u.s.t for power, with Mogranius carrying half of that l.u.s.t. He has been trying to learn it ever since he found out about it but this tribe wasn't so open with their little secrets.

"Yes please!" Mogranius shouted with a tone equal to a panicking boar.

And now he can finally know it, it felt like heaven. But Dilli on the other hand became confused since she didn't understand at all what Bittore meant. The only form of suffocation she knows with the aid of fire, is cutting heads off. "I don't know how that's possible?" Dilli added under her breath, but no one heard her.

Now with that part over, it became well established to them through a conversation earlier that Eric along with the group will be heading to the underground town of Lan Zhe, there are no secrets here and even a 15 Fire Controllers can't push through if they chose to stab them on the back.

So Commander Alia wanted to point out one important fact, "We might send one of our own kind to deliver messages here from time to time, so we can make sure that you are alright or require any kind of help." It is a good idea to mention this earlier, because who would take seeing a ten foot tall Calidum Lutum lightly? Anyone who wasn't aware of their existence would freak out.

"Yes indeed, you mentioned that they look different?" Asked Bittore, who of course as always paid detailed attention to what anyone says, even kids!

"Yes, very different!" Commander Alia urged as her eyes widened up to enhance drama. "They are ten foot tall, have veins in a colour like Lava and have pitch black skin too."

Everyone near the Campfire remained silent, trying to debate within their selves if Commander Alia is just messing with their heads here or if she is serious, Osira remained the most shocked and became more willing about another thought.

Seeing that she is adding no more words to this explanation, Bittore asked. "Anything extra we need to know?"

"Oh right!" Commander Alia snapped out of it, clearly spending too much time with Mogranius has its effects. "They can be temperamental if you try their patience, so don't. One of them can take 30 arrows to the chest and still walk."

Thinking of other facts she forgot in this rush after being asked, she finally added. "Oh also, they don't speak or understand your language."

"Wow sounds like it will be tricky communicating with one." Bittore added, and afterwards she wanted to ask the most common words in such a task so she can remember them but.

"Don't worry, I'll tell them what to do before time so all you have to do is read and write parchments." Added Commander Alia, giving ease to everyone here.

"Gre..." Tried Bittore to finish a thank you but her word was cut quick by her own daughter.

"Mother, is it bad if I go with them this time?"
