The day after the battle with Keireens war beasts the morale of the Geirlanth Kingdom is low, these beasts were powerful enough to win a battle in less than an hour and kill many good soldiers. Reinlas cannot shake the feeling that something felt familiar about the beasts but he does not know what, as he sits on his throne he ponders how Keireen came across such creatures. Linra walks into the throne room.
"Reinlas? What are you thinking about?" Linra asks
"Those beasts Keireen had, theres something familiar about them and I just dont know how he could have come across them without us finding out, hell we know about dragons and while he doesnt have a dragon those winged ones sure look alot like dragons to me but their form is clearly not that of a natural dragon" Reinlas says
"From what memories you showed me, Farenisle and Liara, I do see why you'd be curious about that, I have been wondering myself after all, whatever they are they have crushed the spirits of some of the soldiers as we dont really have an amazing counter for them. Sure the eyes are a weak point for the metal ones and the screech can be nullified but they still have other extroardinary things, then theres the winged beasts that while we can fly using magic they dont need to use magic to fly but even if their wings were injured presumably they could fly with their magic as well" Linra says
"Indeed, I believe that sending out some of Larakas scouts would prove to be good, if they can find a group that is small and has at least one of each beast then maybe we can find out more about them" Reinlas says
"Possibly though they wouldn't come willingly" Linra says
"I never said they would be alive, they are Keireens beasts I highly doubt they'd leave him, if hes subjugated them or is for some reason being nice to them which I highly doubt, they wouldnt leave in either situation" Reinlas says
"Indeed" Linra says
Reinlas telepathically contacts Laraka.
"Laraka I need you to send out scouts to find a small group of the war beasts Keireen has, at least oen of each creature in the group. Bring them in dead, it will be easier" Reinlas telepathically says
"Of coarse my king" Laraka says and he walks towards a scouting party
"Alright form up, all of you have a new mission, find a small group of those war beasts with at least one of each creature, take them out and brign their bodies back here" Laraka says
"Of coarse sir!" The scouts shout and they run out of the Castles perimeter
"I'm going to follow them, dont want to risk them all dying to these monsters without a bit of back up" Laraka says to himself as a small glint of red flashes in his left eye and he teleports ahead of them ontop of a mountain ridge and lies in wait watching them
As the scouting party advances forward careful of their surroundings soon they get attacked by and unseen force causing them to clump together but as they do a bomb is tight in the middle of them. Laraka notices and he jumps down putting a barrier around the bomb letting it explode safely.
"One of the winged ones I'd guess" Laraka says
"L-laraka? You followed us?" One scout asks
"Yes, don't want to risk all of you dying these things are new and have likely got things unknown to us" Laraka says
"Right" The scouts say
"Now group up look every direction" Laraka orders and they group up eyes pointed everywhere some looking to the sky
As they look around they dont see or sense anything until they hear the sound of paws against the ground runnign towards them quickly. Before they can react oen of the wolf war beasts jump out of the nearby forest and take one scout down biting straight into the scouts neck killing him instantly and it screechs at the rest of the group to get the chance to run which was successful. One fo the 10ft metal skinned creatures stands up off the ground, magic was used to have flowers, grass and trees be on it to look like the ground and as it stands up it grabs on of the soldiers and tears him in half the screams lasting but seconds because of how fast he was torn apart. Laraka Reacts quickly and flies up towards the monsters face and stabs it in the eyes driving his blade in far enough to penetrate the skull and into the brain killing the creature, the scouts move otu of the way of the creatures body as it falls. In the moments where they arent lookign everywhere one of the winged beasts appears behind the scouts and its wings slash across their necks killing some of the scouts while the others turn aroudn quickly and stab it through the heart.
