Exploration

[Zero]

A world had been discovered by Warrior Humans. The climate seemed temperate and it had plenty of animals. If it was uninhabited it would serve as the new base of the Warrior humans and if not perhaps they could make some sort of deal with the owners so that they could use the planet or borrow a lot of tech and resources to rebuild their homes.

Spearheading this particular effort was none other than Avaron himself known for his cool head in diplomacy but his fiery disposition in battle. He had come here to see if the rumors were true.

[Beware Ye Who Enter Here]

Immediately they were surrounded by a large group of military ships that just warp jumped across the system. Particularly a large Titan which was bearing down upon the smaller ships, its size almost eclipsing the entire planet of Tefillin.

Immediately a loud, booming voice appeared in the speakers of the ships, hacked into as they were by sophisticated AI.

"Who are you, Trespassers? What business do you have in our system?"

[Zero]

Before he would answer he descended himself using magic to the planet below. Luckily earlier he had cast an oxygen independence spell on himself.

Once on the planet he thought up what he would respond to them. He created a crystal that would project his voice aboard their ships and used it.

Avaron thought diplomatically about his answer. The overwhelming number of ships worried him and so he decided that the truth would be best. He began to use a voice amplification spell so it would be able to be heard by all of them and explained about the Lorcar ravaging and killing everyone on Militaria, the Warrior humans moving in after healing the planet completely which had taken a long time and the fact an earth quake had just undone most of their construction work.

“And so you see that I  have come here to get supplies from this world to replenish the supplies on Militaria.” said Avaron finishing up his speech.

[Beware Ye Who Enter Here]

From the ships appeared 18 soldiers wearing Zarethian Powered Assault Armor, appearing with a bright, unanimous flash of a dazzling shade of lilac. The leader, wearing bright scarlet of the soldiers, with black trimming, stepped forward and lowered his pulse rifle and spoke with a deep booming, artificial voice, amplified by his, or at least the body looked like a male,  helmet.

"We are the Zarethians, Stranger. We were once also homeless, displaced by the Lorcar over a hundred years ago." He started, calmly. "But no longer, as of no more than a month ago, this planet was given to us, by the generous Aralangs in exchange for us allying with them in a time of need. We will have to  take you to a leader of ours. Come with us now if you please, we may be able to help." With that, the soldier snapped his fingers and a hover vehicle appeared. The soldiers got on and waited for the newcomer to board as well.

[Zero]

Nodding silently Avaron boarded the strange vehicle. He was full of questions about it and the armor that they wore but for now it would be wise at least in his eyes to hold his tongue.

Impatiently he waited for the rest of them to get on the thing so they could be on their way. Once he met with the leader of this place he would have the supplies he would need. Further their fleet might be able to knock some sense into Grunder about not glassing their planet.

“Very well. I shall accompany you for now.” His crystal comm began to beep. When he read what it said he began to nervously twitch.

[Beware Ye Who Enter Here]

The hover-tank flew for nearly an hour to the capital city of the Zarethians. It flew over wide, grassy planes, and cold, lonely mountains. When it finally came to a more urban area, the hover-tank began to descend , heading towards a large, imposing, octagonal structure that seemed to be their head quarters.

The vehicle came to a slow halt at the front of the black building; it was enormous, it had to be at least fifteen stories tall. The hatch slid down and the leader of the soldiers got up and motioned for Avaron to get up as well. "We are here. Inside you will meet the current leader of the Zarethians. I should not have to warn you, but I will, be respectful to him." With that he strode out of the vehicle and waited for the outsider to follow impatiently.

[Zero]

Nodding his head Avaron slowly got out of the hover tank taking note of it's shape, and color. He would ask for the blueprints for it later of course so his people could rise around in style. A lot of technology would be needed for them to put to their own use and that was one of the things along with food that he would request.

“Don't worry, I shall be respectful to him.” said Avaron. He knew full and well how to deal with other kings and rulers as he was a former prince and would like to have his power back as prince so he would handle things respectfully.

[Beware Ye Who Enter Here]

The soldier led Avaron through the the massive, yet well lit, corridors of the fortress. After walking for about 15 minutes of winding corridors and massive passageway, they came to a small, hardwood door that read Council Chambers.

The soldier opened the door and ushered Avaron inside. The room was large, and officious, with light gray walls and a deep red velvet rug in the middle. Around the circular room were 4 large chairs that sat 4 Zarethians of various ages and looks. Each looked up on their own turn, one bored, two excited, and another quite serious.
 "My Lords and Ladies, Admirals of the Board, I bring to you Avaron of the Warrior Humans. He shall ask his requests of you. By your leave...." And with that formal introduction, the soldier left Avaron alone to do his dealings.

[Zero]

Avaron bowed as he entered trying to be as polite as possible. He stood up somewhat. “Lords and Ladies, it has come to my attention that the Lorcar are spreading like wild fire but they aren't the only threat in this universe that could cause problems.”

“If you will permit me I will show you the other people that are threats.” He had prepared viewing crystals that would provide 3-d holograms with magic of the people that were threats.

[Beware Ye Who Enter Here]

They nodded and waved him on, interested, but not convinced of this stranger.

[Zero]

Avaron held out his hand and several different colored jewels appeared on a table he conjured using magic. Setting the jewels on the table he uttered a spell. “Iris Visiblos.” Immediately the crystals glowed and 3 dimensional holograms of the Anrufe members were showed. Each one of them had commited numerous crimes. Further some of their crimes were also shown.

He sensed the death of the Warrior humans. “In order to deal with that threat I will need time so will I be allowed to live here for the time being?”

[Beware Ye Who Enter Here]

This time one of the members actually spoke. He was a large man with black hair tied into a pony-tail with with a ferocious face. "You wish to live on our planet? We don't even know these people, nor their crimes. How can we be sure that we can trust an outsider. Are you an ally of the Aralangs?"

[Zero]

He looked at them and the holograms morphed slightly showing the names of each of the Anrufe members.

He said “No. I am not an ally of the Aralangs. But I do have something I can provide for your people that you severely lack. Anti Magic is becoming too prevalent these days and with that so prevalent some developed techniques to manipulate energy that are not magic.”

He continued. “I myself know two of these techniques Auv and Hura. I would be happy to instruct any who wish to know. Further you have my promise I will not harm any of your citizens.If you would like me to sign a blood contract stating that I would do so.” He knew their military would likely be able to handle that little upstart Red Zero and her accomplices.

[Beware Ye Who Enter Here]

The same member spoke again. "We are not afraid of you hurting our people so much as what you could bring with you."

[Zero]

Avaron listened to what he said. “None of the Anrufe can follow me. I made sure to cover my tracks very carefully.” He had woven a web around him that made it seem like his teleports had gone to many different locations so the Anrufe would be foiled. The web would reveal phony locations and never the true one until it was destroyed.

"If you want, I will do something to prove myself to your people."

[Beware Ye Who Enter Here]

"Go ahead. We can sit here all day."

[Zero]

Avaron looked at them. He knew just the gift to give their people and so he walked outside of the room and concentrated. He said to them with a voice amplification spell. “I will link your magic to this planet. Then you can expel any who you choose.”

[Beware Ye Who Enter Here]

"How does it work?"

[Zero]

He would explain it as best he could to them.

“I merely take a bit of your magic and tie it to the land itself allowing you to control the land with your thoughts. You can make it project whatever kind of energy you want it to.”

He looked at them. “But as a safety precaution I shall also be linked so that I can if the need should arise shut off the magic of people who come here who are not from this planet.”

[Beware Ye Who Enter Here]

They thought a moment. "And we could throw anybody off our land? What if, gods forbid, the Lorcar attack?"

[Zero]

“Well if the Lorcar do come here they would encounter a few webs of my own left in the atmosphere that should if they don't figure out a way through incinerate them all.” He did not add that it would also work against the Anrufe should they come.

“Now I must link you.” He held out his hands and a bit of their magic left their bodies and fused with the sphere of his magic which merged with the land. It would understand that he controlled it more than they did, but allow them to control it.

“There. You are linked to the land. As am I. Should the Lorcar come well I don't think they would manage to survive all the traps I put up for them in your space. Which has left me drained magically so after this I should get some rest.”

[Beware Ye Who Enter Here]

They looked at him odddly. "In our space? What of our fleet? How are we going to get up and down on  our planet. We have our own defenses. They just aren't up yet."

[Zero]

"I scanned your magical signatures. The web will allow them and my own to get through. It will not allow for the time being anyone else's. It will incinerate them on contact." said Avaron.

[Beware Ye Who Enter Here]

"Alright.... You can stay. For now. Is there anything else you would like to discuss before you are dismissed?"

[Zero]

Looking up at the sky Avaron said. “If it is okay with you I might bring a few friends of mine here. A few magical creatures that thanks to the Anrufe and Grunder...have lost their home.”   â€œGrunder is an ally of the Aralangs who just glassed Militaria. Likely they will have the planet destroyed so with your leave I will bring the Griffins to this planet.”
