A signal hit the sky. The three moons White Eclipse was so used to now dominated the air above. Besides it, the mark of Lunar Genesis joined. It allowed Calium to speak directly to all who had either guild mark.
“Testing,” he cleared his throat, making sure
don’t disappoint me, my children. And as for White Eclipse…
Good luck.”
He snapped his fingers, signifying the start of the challenge. As he vanished from their ears and the skyline cleared again, now was the calm before the storm, keeping everyone on edge until the first —
@CopyCatsPride it would be to see such a slaughter, I’ll oblige. How about your kids versus mine? I know it’s slim pickings over here, so I’ll give you time to gather your best three. You win, I’ll put the deed in your name. If I win, Lunar Genesis absorbs White Eclipse. Deal?”
He held out —
@CopyCatsPride No matter how much /you/ train /her,/ Lucielle is wasting talent by the day. Half of your members are never to be found, and even you are losing precious time, Luke. This is what’s fair, and since it’s my name on this land, I’m going to make the call.”
@CopyCatsPride the barrel with only the name holding you up.
Lunar Genesis is primed. We’re a top five guild and our most active members are children. Teenagers. My son’s skills reputation holds more wait than most of your veterans. He takes SS class missions and completes them with ease. —

@CopyCatsPride important land. These mountain ranges, they all belong to White Eclipse. On official paper, they all belong to a single old man who spent his life savings here to have some peace and quiet for when he dies. Do you remember who that man is, Luke?”
@CopyCatsPride “I see the hospitality here is still lacking.”
He glared at Luke, but that look turned into a grin as he readjusted in his seat.
“I guess you’d like to cut to the chase of why I’m here, correct? Then I won’t hold you. Luke Cloud, as you know, White Eclipse sits on very —
@CopyCatsPride “My recruits don’t need supervision. I hand picked them myself, so I’m aware they’re capable.”
He looked around, as if searching for someone in particular.
“Where’s your barmaid? You can’t even welcome me with a drink? Tea? Beer? Come on, my student, my brat; we have —
@CopyCatsPride “Knock?” He laughed, walking in like he owns the joint. He headed directly for the couch, sitting in a familiar seat.
“Come on. Join me.”
