Chapter 53 The Clan Wars
"What did you say?", Kira was completely astonished to hear what Aaron said.
He trusted Aaron completely so he couldn\'t help but believe him however whatever he was saying sounded too good to be true!
Well, it was way too abnormal anyway.
\'Siara told me that Shin could summon a dragon...\'
\'And now Aaron is saying to me that Shin can transform into a dragon?\'
\'Does that mean...\'
\'Does that mean that he is a dragon king or something and has tons of dragons in his command?\'
\'Did he become tired of living his royal life so he came to lower realms and disgusted himself into a wolf to experience the life of lower beasts?\'
What an interesting and imaginative story Kira formulated. Well, he was completely wrong and way off the charts.
He couldn\'t help but believe them because all of them could be relatable.
First of all, Shin was just a pup but still could speak, use healing abilities, run faster than any of them, and could massacre the entire Bear Clan! How come any of these were ordinary?
Kira was rather forced to believe and formulate his own story of what might have happened.
He himself got chills just by imagining that.
Now he understood why Aaron was so desperate to recruit Shin into his own clan.
Shin was already part of the Clan that Kira ruled so he had no interest in giving him easily after hearing and concluding all this!
"Listen, Aaron, you must calm down..."
"First of all Shin is part of my clan so he wouldn\'t possibly join yours..."
When Kira said that, Aaron understood that it was because of Kira that Shin didn\'t want to join the Biola clan.
He was about to ask Kira to expel him out of his clan so that he could take him in, but would Kira agree so easily?
Of course, no, he wouldn\'t let such a gem go that easily! At least not when he came to know the truth about Shin, according to him that is.
But Kira was not that merciless to his brothers. After all, he trusted Aaron so much that he asked his kin to take refugee in the clan of Biola!
"I will ask him to help you...", Kira said this in the end in order to console Aaron and prevent him from making any foolish mistake that could create a rift between them.
"Really!?", Aaron\'s eyes sparkled when he heard Kira.
"Yes", Kira nodded his head and smiled.
"Thanks a lot, second brother!", Aaron was indeed joyed and the reason for which was quite obvious, he was assured that he would win the Clan Wars!
So what exactly are the Clan Wars? Why is it so significant? What are the merits and demerits?
Clan Wars are the wars conducted among the Clans of a species to determine the strongest.
Humans have learned how to colonize. They have their own Kings who have dispersed themselves. There are tons of Kingdoms and they too conduct such wars to determine the strongest Kingdom.
Well, many lives are indeed cost in this needless war, despite that it has been done for the past 500 years! For them, it\'s called the \'Kingdom Wars\'.
The beasts and monsters that are large in number and have colonies or clans that are dispersed, conduct wars to expand their terrain or erase the enemy that they want.
A good thing is that no wars are conducted for the rest of the time among the clans until the next Clan War gets started!
Unlike Kingdom Wars which are conducted once in four years, Clan wars are conducted once every three years. Therefore, one can rest and maintain peace with other clans for a maximum period of three years. Well, it could be extended in some cases when some Clans would support the winner or the others.
The benefits of this War are quite simple, Peace is maintained for the rest of the three years. One could expand the terrain or territory in the War by winning against others!
Also, one would get a name and fame in the battle.
But bloodshed would be inevitable in the battle. Many will lose their lives.
Of course, the Wars are based on different things, but in the end, it would be an all-out war against each other.
Only those who would want a war would be allowed to participate while those who wouldn\'t be required of any war would be assumed the position of judge or would be left out.
In any case, these Clan Wars were feared by all because if one would lose, they would become others\' servants!
Biola clan had already lost twice and had now turned into a small Clan. Of course, it would have vanished if Kira hadn\'t helped them.
Aaron was thinking of participating in it again so that he could win and reclaim the lost territories and the members whom he had lost three years ago, not that he knew if they were alive and fine.
"Sigh, alright, let\'s go back..."
"There is no use thinking about something that is going to happen in six months..."
"All we can do is prepare for it, it\'s better not to think about the results from now!"
What Kira said was right. If one would only think of the results without actually thinking about the process, then it would only lead to failure in most cases.
Regardless, Kira and Aaron walked back to the clan where all the Midnight wolves bowed in front of Aaron while paying their respect.
Some were thankful for healing their family member but more than that Aaron was happy when he met his wife and children. Well, of course, one could have many wives in this world and Aaron had 3 in total.
He had lost one of them in the Clan Wars to another Clan, one of them had been cursed, and another was perfectly fine and was chatting with Siara.
The Shadow Wolf attacked them last month which actually broke the rules. But it was to be noted that Shadow Wolf formed a clan after the last Clan Wars so they didn\'t necessarily have any rules to follow.
Regardless, one thing was for sure, soon a massive War was going to cover the entire forest of Caronthin, a totally different forest where all the wolves meet to do the Clan Wars!
