He laid down on his bed, staring at the ceiling as he processed everything that had happened. The thought of the ancient kingdom and its powerful trident filled his mind. He wondered what other secrets the sea held that he had yet to discover.
Fein realized that this discovery could change everything. It could rewrite the history books and possibly change the course of the world's future. He knew he had to be careful, as the knowledge of this kingdom could spark conflict between humans and the sea creatures. Demons might also stare at the ancient civilization.
If it's only the South, Fein could make their interaction with the ancient kingdom friendly and even establish an alliance. But if its other regions such as North, East, West and Central Plain... He knew it would turn in a different direction.
Greed would take place and they would no doubt try to plunder the knowledge, treasures, and technology of the civilization in the sea, now that resources are needed at a crucial time that they have the problem caused by portals.
He closed his eyes, trying to calm his racing thoughts. Fein knew that he had a great responsibility, not only to the kingdom, but also to the world. He had to find a way to help Poseidon and his people, but also keep their existence a secret from the rest of the world.
Fein fell into a deep sleep, his mind filled with images of the kingdom, the trident, and the ancient Titans. He knew that the next time he returned to the sea, he had to be better prepared. He would need to learn more about the sea creatures and their abilities, as well as the history of the ancient kingdom.
...
Fein woke up to the sound of his alarm ringing, signaling the start of a new day. He sat up, stretched his arms, and yawned, feeling refreshed after a good night's sleep. He got out of bed and made his way to the bathroom to wash his face.
Looking at himself in the mirror, Fein admired his long white hair and crimson eyes, traits that appeared after he obtained the blood of a high-ranking demon. He ran his fingers through his hair, trying to fix any tangles, and splashed cold water on his face, feeling the refreshing sensation.
After getting dressed, Fein made his way to the kitchen, where his mother, Melissa, and his sister, Fey, were already awake and chatting.
"Good morning, Fein," Melissa greeted him with a smile.
"Morning, Mom. Morning, Fey," Fein replied, returning their greetings.
Fein quickly got to work, heating up the stove and grabbing the ingredients for breakfast. He began to prepare a simple but delicious meal of scrambled eggs, bacon, and toast. Fey helped him set the table while Melissa poured some coffee.
As they sat down to eat, Fein couldn't help but feel grateful for his family. He took a bite of his food and savored the flavors, feeling content and at peace.
"So, what are your plans for today, Fein?" Melissa asked, taking a sip of her coffee.
"I have some errands to run in the morning, and then I'll probably spend the rest of the day studying," Fein replied, taking another bite of his food.
Fey chimed in, "I'm going to hang out with my new members at the park later. Maybe we can play some basketball."
Fein smiled at his sister, feeling happy that she was enjoying her summer break from the Ranger's Eye. He knew that she worked hard during the school year and deserved some time to have fun.
Melissa nodded and gave Fein a warm hug. "Take care, Fein. Don't forget to eat properly and come back home safely."
Fein hugged his mother back and gave Fey a pat on the head. "I won't forget, mom. See you later, Fey."
After finishing their meal, they cleaned up the dishes and said their goodbyes as they went on their separate ways for the day.
...
Fein walked confidently towards the entrance of the Leader's building, his mind focused on the task ahead. He knew that he had to convince the Leaders to take decisive action against the monsters that were plaguing the land. The portals that brought the monsters to their world were unpredictable, and they needed to take advantage of any lull in monster activity to strike preemptively.
As he entered the meeting room, Fein noticed that the Leaders were already seated and ready to begin. He greeted them politely and took his seat at the back of the room, waiting for his turn to speak.
The first few minutes of the meeting were uneventful, with the Leaders discussing the latest reports of monster activity and planning their responses. Fein listened intently, taking notes and mentally preparing his argument.
Finally, it was his turn to speak. He stood up confidently and looked the Leaders in the eye, his voice ringing out clearly in the silence of the room.
"I believe that we should take advantage of the current lull in monster activity to eliminate all the monsters within a 300-mile radius of our cities. We do not know when the portals will open again, and we cannot afford to wait for another wave of monsters and wait for the day that their numbers would overwhelm us. We have to reduce them as much as possible.
The room fell silent as the Leaders considered Fein's proposal. Some looked skeptical, but others nodded thoughtfully.
Finally, one of the Leaders spoke up. "Fein, your proposal is a bold one. But do you truly believe that we have the resources to eliminate all the monsters in such a large area?"
Fein did not hesitate. "Yes, I do. We have some of the strongest fighters in the world within our ranks, and we have access to some of the most advanced weaponry and technology. If we pool our resources and work together, we can accomplish this. Plus, I have my shadow army to help."
The Leaders nodded, impressed by Fein's confidence and conviction. They continued to debate the merits of the proposal, discussing logistics and strategy. In the end, they decided to take a vote, and Fein's proposal was passed by a narrow margin.
As Fein left the meeting room, he felt a sense of satisfaction and pride. He knew that his suggestion would not be an easy one to implement, but he was confident that they could succeed. He smiled to himself, already planning his next move.
