[Border of South and West of Snow Peak Mountain Range, Night]

Located at the border wall separating south and west part of the mountain  range, a dozen or so tribal warriors are currently guarding the wall in order to ward off beast from the west and some trespassers of the rival tribes. Currently the tribe that was in charge of such section of the wall is the 45th tribe of the southern mountain range.

As the twelve tribal warriors sizing about more than 6 feet were slowly walking along the border, checking out different dark areas on the wall, a certain group of three intruders then somehow sneakily climb on top of the wall using their own sharp weapon  and begun attacking the bypassing southern tribe warrior.

With a efficient tackle and a back stab followed by slit throat, the three intruders then silently killed the southern tribal warrior  in a short amount of time despite its struggle from their grasp. Unfortunately due to how big their attacks were, some southern warriors patrolling the wall noticed the anomaly of one of their comrades and begun heading their way.

Once the fire on the torch illuminates the murder scenes, the southern warriors begun to roar in alarm as they unsheathe their weapons and attacked the intruding people. Based on their size and physique, the southern warriors conclude that the intruder were warriors from the west which was assigned to siege the border wall.

With the starting clash of both western warriors and southern warriors on top of the border wall, the commotion naturally grew in size as more attention were caught from the battle happening at one of the crucial tactical spot of the southern tribes. However before some of the southern tribe warriors from other areas were able to aid the battle happening in one area, an arrow suddenly wheezed through the cold air as it squarely struck down one of the southern tribe warrior through the head.

With the death of an another southern tribe warrior, the other tribal warrior then quickly shone their torches below the wall, only to realize that a huge army of westerns tribes were currently sieging the border wall separating both the south and west.

From that realization roars then resounded all over the border wall as battle erupted in different areas of the wall. However due to the arrows raining down from the sky, adding to the fact that it was pitch dark in the night, thus giving the arrows a slight trait of invisibility, the southern tribe warriors that is situated in this part of the border wall then slowly got overwhelmed as more and more of their allies die by the hands of the western tribes

Realizing that the battle was a losing battle, the de facto leader of the group in the wall then hurriedly tried to escape the border wall in order to inform the other near tribes about this sudden invasion of the westerns tribes. Naturally its other allies immediately understood its intention, thus without further hesitation for the betterment of their homes, they then decided to hold the forth in order to let at least one of them to warn the southern tribe leaders.

However before the said de facto leader manage to distance itself from the wall and sacrificing its comrades, a sudden silhouette suddenly emerge from the shadow completely covered in darkness and smile eerily towards the escaping unit. With a smile it then revealed its claws and sharp teeth.

"We cant have you warn the others now can we?"

From those words alone the shadowy figure then assaulted the de facto leader as it killed him in just a few moves completely incomprehensible to a human mind. Completely beheading the escaping warrior, the shadowy figure then observed the other western tribe warriors kills off the other defending southern tribal warriors.

After for what seems like a few minutes, all the guarding southern tribe warriors were then killed as the western tribe warriors officially occupied the border wall. With a roar for their victory, every western tribal warrior cheered together as they managed to take down one of the southern tribes tactical point without any of the tribal leaders noticing the invasion. As long as they keep themselves hidden, no one would be able to notice such an anomaly in their forces.

Soon after some of the westerns tribal warriors then approached the shadowy figure as they reported the result of this hidden invasion.

"We have successfully occupied the border wall, all of this is thanks to your species aid"

Hearing its praise, the shadowy figure then replied.

"No need to gloat over a small victory, this just the beginning"

"Then what shall we do now?" asked by the westerns tribal warrior

"Everything beyond this point will be up to your westerns tribes effort, strike when the iron is still hot... the enemy still has no idea that they have been breached from the side, use this opportunity to destroy three of their encampment" said by the shadowy figure

"But if we do such thing,  they would immediately notice our presences... by that point I believe the southern tribes would avenge their fallen and try to fight back in full force" said by the western tribal warrior

"... You don't have to worry about that, this time you'll have allies... the southern tribes wouldn't be able to fully focus its attention in the west... No! better yet, i can heartily say that they will have no choice but to ignore the west for what coming in other areas" replied by the shadowy figure

"... I see, understood! leave everything to us"

When the western tribal warrior said those words, the shadowy figure then nods its head as it melted back into the darkness of the night. Once such a guy disappears, the western tribal warrior then gathered its forces as they begun to plan on how to attack the three nearby tribes.

[Azure Kingdom]

Going back to the kingdom in the sky, it literally took a whole day for Asagi and the rest to finally return back home. After all never did they expect that some additional charges will be made once they found the survivors of the towns in the south. Among the survivors were Leila who is presumes to be David's long lost dead lover.

Taking account her story which actually well mashes to David's side of the story, Asagi and the rest of the archangels who heard David's problems then came into conclusion that the girl was David's fiancé. Due to that Asagi once more returned to Tetra's tent in order to discuss the passing down of the refugee from the camp to her side.

From their talk Asagi pointed out numerous bullshit reason in order for Tetra to agree on her request. Bullshit reasons such as resources, comfortability, assessment, ownership fake evidence, some gruesome probability, and even the bullshit of being an international spy for some hidden cultist dark organization. Naturally Tetra has literally no idea what were those terms, but seems it sounded ominous with that fact of Asagi's grim acting, she had no choice but to pretend to understand, even the elders just followed suit in order to look intelligent.

After awhile everything sums up to the fact that Asagi wanted to get the refugee of the camp to live in her kingdom as its citizens who had nowhere to go. Of course Tetra literally is not against of such an idea, after all such refugee do kind of take a toll on their tribes resources. Their food and clothing had dropped quite a lot ever since the refugee arrived in their camp, but since Tetra doesn't have the heart to abandon such pitiful frail looking human neighbors, she had no choice but to make amendments in order cover up their loss. Even the elders were having a problem to their tribes rapid resource drain.

In fact Asagi's offer was like a godsend solution for them, as long as Asagi take off the responsibility of the refugees off their hands, they would then be able to recover from their drastic resource loss anytime. Thus without any further objections, they accepted her request and let go of all the refugees in the settlement. All it needs now was to inform the refugee's of this change.

However before she could even leave the tent, Tetra and the elders then questioned Asagi about the existences of the glowing ball of container on her arms. In face of such question, Asagi simply replied that the glowing ball of container on her arms, contain the very existence of her children. Hearing her answer Tetra and the others simply nodded in fake understanding while still having confusion in their faces.

After all no matt5er how one saw it, there was nothing inside the ball of glowing container exuding an intense life force.

Nevertheless their curiosity didn't stop her from leaving the tent. Once she got outside, she then informed the rest of her angels that it was time to head back. At the same time Tetra ordered one of her men to gather up the refugee in the camp.

Once all the refugee's consisting of all females got round up in front of Tetra's tent, she then informed everyone that they will be handed down towards their allied angels present in the area. Naturally once such declaration was announced a lot of the refugee begun to have a worried expression as they glanced over the winged people to the side.

From their faces, fear exuded their expression. After all based on how everything was going, they then summed up that the tribe was abandoning them and was handing them over to an unknown group which wasn't even human. Based on what they learned from the textbook of their hometown, humans and other species don't  quite have a good relationship.

Whoever was the lesser in a community, they would always tend to become the slave of the said society. Since they were going to be handed over to anon-human species, all the refugees then have a grim expression on their faces as they imagined their lives returning to being simple slaves, but this time towards species that are not human.

The only exemption among them was Leila as she already have quite an acquaintanceship with Gabriel. Based on how Gabriel acts with her, she sums up that he looks at her and the other refugee's as equal and not something below his species. Even thought she doesn't know anything from the other's perspective, she was sure that the majority of them was the same as Gabriel. One primary example of them is Asagi who feels and act closer to a human than any of them.

After Tetra's speech, Asagi then handed down the glowing container to Ariel as she stood in front of everyone and begun her monologue. Even thought she sounded like a politician from another world, her words held true as she had the highest authority back on her kingdom. Meaning whatever she says was the law that everyone should follow. 

When the time of the announcement finally ended, the refugees were then tasked to pack up their things as Asagi tasked Gabriel and Ariel to carry over everyone using a platform back towards the castle.

Naturally they followed her order, thus when they begun to carry over everyone by creating a platform for everyone using their own rune laws, numerous gasps and screams rang out towards the surroundings as they got lifted off the ground. the experience of flying high above the clouds and mountain was quite exhilarating and scary at the same time. This is to the point that some refugee fainted from fear of heights, some even wet themselves.

But no matter what anyone do, they were all guarded in all sides, in order to ensure that not one of them would fall to their death from such height.

The moment they passed by the clouds, various gasps rung out once more as every refugee got mesmerized by the beauty of the sea of cloud, even the thick clouds than begun forming shape. After that for some quite awhile, they then finally arrived at the castle while being well received by more than a hundred of angels.

As for the refugees, the moment they saw the humans settling down in the city of angels, their impression towards such place then begun to change. Plus as if adding the final touch, the people of the port town finally met with some of the refugees which made some of them rush up to each other after recognizing some familiar faces.

Even thought not everyone had a happy reunion, one particular reunion that happened was between Leila and David. the moment they met each other, they both rush up to each other's arms as they cried  their hearts out for each other's longing. From that alone, the conclusion that everyone arrives to were quite true.

While everyone was having the best day of their life after the eventual reunion, a grim situation slowly encroaches the surface as the embers of war begun to show signs of exploding.
