"Dorian Summershine! We request your presence!"

...…

Prince Dorian raised his brows in surprise. For a second, he wondered if he was not hearing right.

"Prince Dorian!"

The same voice beckoned at him without any signs of politeness.  Moreover, that wasn't the scariest part.

Having reached his strength, one would be able to peer through normal physical substance and their energy sense would be able to make a three-kilometer sensing circle radius. 

This was why all of them inside the tent looked up before they heard the impolite voice.

"Hehe, It seems like we have guests. Interesting ones," said Vasilis.

It was not just him. The others could sense a gloomy aura that covered the camp. This phenomenon was called [Combined Aura]. It happened when a group of beings unleashed their aura with the same intent. It was necessary for them to have the same desire or their auras wouldn't combine.

Prince Dorian made a wry guess. The people behind the voice weren't here to welcome them. If their tone of speech wasn't hostile enough, then their aura sure hit the mark.

The young prince calmed his breath as he smiled at the others, "Well then, shall we greet our guests?"

Standing up, he spoke to the others, "Lieutenant Grimm, alert the other camps just in case. General Ingram would stay by my side, so you don't need to worry about my safety. Plus, Sir Vasilis is here."

His words managed to quell any worry Lieutenant Grimm had. The man past his youth used the back entrance to do what the prince told him.

Meanwhile, the prince and his entourage walked out of the tent. They saw four figures levitating above them.

Immediately the prince came out, the combined aura sharpened. It became almost physical as tentacle whips made out of the aura stretched at the prince. 

"Hmph!" scoffed General Ingram.

Along with Sir Vasilis, he spread forth his own aura that resisted the combined aura of the unknown group. Soon, he was joined by all the warriors in the camp as they stared at the unknown group with fierce expressions.

Suddenly, the combined aura of the unknown group quelled. It retracted back to their bodies, allowing Prince Dorian to see their appearance.

'...Demihumans?' he said to himself.

The four figures belonged to the demihuman race. On the absolute right was a tigris, a tigerman. She was dressed in a set of comfortable cloth. Yet, the warm color of her outfit couldn't hide her hostility. Her orange and white hair resisted the sharp wind as her red-brown eyes stared at the souls of Prince Dorian's entourage.

The closest to her belonged to the skylan species, birdman. She had a pair of deep blue wings on her back and wore a loose purple dress to compliment it. With her supple body, she looked like she came here to seduce rather than to confront.

The skylan turned to her left, "Myniene, you were right. It is Prince Dorian!"

The one called Myniene had a similar appearance to the skylan. However, if one looked closely, one might understand she was much different. Unlike the skylan, her hands and white wings seemed to appear as one. Her body was divided into two segments; an upper human half and a lower bird half.

Beauty was the only word that could describe her upper half. As for her lower half, while appearing strange, it seemed to mix well with her appearance. Even her talon that replaced the function of feet made her look more like a work of art.

She was Myniene of the White Sky Clan.

"Yes, Kiera. Our deductions were not false," agreed Myniene.

The last one of the four said to them, "Hmmm…..this won't be easy. Let's descend."

He talked calmly and collected befitted his old appearance. However, it was unknown what type of demihuman he was as he didn't have any beast-like features except for small transparent scales on his face.

The others nodded in reply. They were done observing so they let themselves descend into the gathering of warriors.

As soon as they touched the ground, the warriors opened up a path that led to Prince Dorian for them. They held their weapons firmly, watching the unknown group's every move.

Normally, it would be unwise to let someone like them get close to the prince, but it was the prince that gave the order.

A few moments later, Prince Dorian spoke to the unknown group, "Looking at your faces, I suppose I should skip the formalities. Why do you seek me?"

He assessed the unknown group with scrutiny. In less than twenty seconds, he was able to figure out their social structure.

However, the leader of the group wasn't clear.

Out of the four, the oldest of them spoke first, "Prince Dorian, the twelfth son of King Tristan, you are exactly as the rumors say. Very well, we came here for one purpose and one purpose only."

The tigris took over, "Take back your army. We shall not allow any conquest campaign on these lands!"

The tigris couldn't help but exude an aggressive aura. Despite that, she didn't move a step but simply ordered the prince.

Prince Dorian was baffled, "Take back my army? Why? Why does it matter to you? Who are you to interfere in the kingdom of Solaris' affairs?" 

The skylan replied for the group, "I must say, that is a bad move from your side. You dare ravage this land without possessing enough intel. Do you not know what happened to all those that came here?"

"Once again, I'm confused. Please enlighten me," spoke the prince.

He maintained his composure despite the harsh words the unknown group threw at him.

He thought to himself, 'It seems I'm missing something. In a way, they are right. Father shouldn't have rushed this campaign. Nevertheless…..'

He heard the other winged woman say to him, "We are the Vagoroth council. An organization of demihumans that watches over Vagoroth."

"And what is the Vagoroth, exactly?" asked Prince Dorian.

"It is a settlement of demihumans obviously!" scoffed Kiera
