Chapter 79: The Poison Fields

The poison fields were located in the center of the Nar realm, close to the Sacred Serpent Valley and Floating Flame Island of the Snake clan. As the name implied, it was a field overrun with the most vicious and poisonous venoms in the realm. It was a field for venomous beasts.

And that's not even including the Gorgons that resided there.

'The Pink Goblins will be relocating to the Poison Fields?' 

Ulain was as frightened as Chief Mein. The thought of the place itself filled him with dread and trepidation. Trembling, he focused his gaze on the serpentine, doubts arising in his heart.

'Were we being too conceited, believing she needed us? Because, this is no salvation, but damnation! The Pink Goblins race is certain to go extinct the moment we step into those fields!'

Ulain felt rage brewing in his heart, his gaze going cold.

She didn't seem to need them. If she did, she would not be asking for their lives. Because that's exactly what it would be. Asking for their lives, if she relocated them to such a vicious place.

Chief Mein's body was still shuddering in fright. His heart chilled as he recalled the serpentine's declaration to move the Pink Goblins into the poison fields.

'Is this her way of telling us not to get ahead of ourselves? Is she warning us not to make any demands when we are only slaves?'

He wondered in agitation and despondency.

The only hope he had for saving the Pink Goblins turned out to be a dead end. The savior he placed his faith in, was nothing more than a cruel and ice-hearted woman. A cruel woman that wouldn't so much as blink, if the whole race was wiped out right before her eyes. The Pink Goblins survival or extinction wouldn't make any difference to her.

With every thought that ran through his mind, Chief Mein's chilled heart froze over, not the slightest bit of warmth left behind.

"Of course the Poison Fields. Why are you making a face as if I asked to sleep with your mate? As beautiful as she might be, I am not interested. I already have a mate. And if you treasure your life, never say my name in the same breath as another beast. My mate wouldn't like it. Consider it as a kind warning."

He wished she had asked to sleep with his mate, at least then, he wouldn't feel as if he had failed the Pink Goblin's race. At least then, he wouldn't feel so hopeless and powerless.

Ian too, sensed the sudden transformation in his father and Uncle Ulain's aura. It was so dark and bleak, he felt overwhelmed.

'What is up with Father and Uncle Ulain? They look like they just heard the Pink Goblin race was going to be exterminated. Are they reacting like this because of the Poison Fields the serpentine mentioned?'

His eyes flickered in concentration, trying to decipher what sort of place could get the leaders of the goblin race frozen stiff.

Versailles saw the chief turn mute and deaf, not responding to a word she said. Glancing at Ulain, she saw he was in the same condition.

"What? You're not going to say anything, make any comments or laugh? You do know that was a joke, right?" She asked skeptically.

'It couldn't be? Were they so isolated from the realm, that they didn't even know how to joke around?'

Mind racing, her violet eyes squinted in scrutiny as she looked at the two goblins with mournful expressions on their faces.

"Are you really going to relocate the Pink Goblins to the poison fields?" Chief Mein choked out with difficulty.

When he heard her mention the word 'joke', a new spark of hope lit up in his heart. He held on to a tiny bit of hope that she was joking about relocating them as well. Otherwise, he would be plugged into an endless abyss of despair.

Unfortunately, his earnest wish was met with a ruthless rebuttal. Dashed and crushed without mercy.

"Yes, the Pink Goblins will be relocated to the Poison Fields. In fact, not only will the Pink Goblins be occupying the Poison Fields, the other races recruited to the force will be as well."

"But that is  the Poison Fields! How could any race, apart from those with venom in their veins, hope to occupy such a place? Such an act is suicide, vicious and direct!" Ulain screeched in anger.

"Yes, living in such a place is nothing short of committing a swift and direct suicide." Chief Mein spiritlessly replied, his face haggard.

So, there really was no hope for the Pink Goblin race?

Holding his chest, he stumbled back with despair covering his stoic features.

"Yes, so? What's the big deal? It's a field for venomous beasts. It's not like I can't take care of them. Or do you two, perhaps believe I am less venomous than the poisonous creatures there?" Versailles asked in disdained, disbelief coloring her voice.

Were they panicking all this time, because they felt she didn't have what it took to clear a field of poisonous creatures?

Her brows furrowed in displeasure at being looked down upon. Such scorn, she could not take it laying down.

"Fine. Since the two of you look down on me, I will clear the whole field of beasts on my own."  She declared in resolution, her firm voice resounding with power.

"You...you will clear the Poison Fields alone? You?" The crumbling Chief Mein barely had enough awareness to register her words.

When he did, he felt his frozen heart boiling in equal measure expectation and trepidation. He was afraid of believing his ears, thinking he was hanging onto an illusional hope. But he desperately wanted to believe in something at the same time.

He wanted to believe his ears. Believe there was still a chance of survival for the Pink Goblins.

The Poison Fields were no land of salvation for the Pink Goblins. But if the serpentine herself took the reign and cleared the field, then there was hope.

Hope for a place of damnation to turn into salvation. 

Heart pounding wildly in his chest, the goblin chief looked up at the serpentine with tear filled eyes.

Ulain was similarly stumped for words. He felt his crumbling hope and faith, rekindling, reshaping. His rage and anger dimmed and winked out without his conscious volition. He felt the spark spread in the abyss of his heart, filling it with warmth.

'She will personally clear the Poison Fields on her own.'

The thought continuously rang out in his mind.

"What? You don't believe in my ability? You don't think I can clear the field on my own?" She asked with tight-lipped smile, the threat clear in her violet eyes.

If Chief Mein so much as dared to say 'he did not believe', he knew he would be dead and gone. Never to walk the wretched lands of the Nar realm again.

"Ahem!" Awkwardly clearing his throat to suppress his turbulent emotions, he spoke in a solemn voice.

"Of course I believe in you and your ability. It is just that, aside from the poisonous beasts and plants, there are also the Gorgons dwelling within the Poison Fields. They are a hundred times more deadly than the poisonous creatures. You alone....against their whole tribe....?" He stammered at the sudden glare aimed at him, unable to continue any further.

Ulain suppressed a chuckle at the sheepish and meek appearance of his chief. Before the attack of the dark shadows, he would have never believed if anyone ever told him his Chief would one day cower before a female. Now, witnessing the scene with his own eyes, he did not whether to laugh or cry.

Laugh at the scene of his Chief cowering at the glare of another race's female. Or cry at the state their Pink Goblin race was reduced to.

Sensing Ulain's amusement at his expense, Chief Mein darkly glowered at him, the spark in his pink eyes as sharp as a dagger.

The Gorgons were one of the deadliest and venomous beasts of the Nar realm. Because of their deadly venom, no race messed with them without complete preparation and valid reason.

But it was also because of their venom, that they were shunned by the other races. 

Unlike the serpentines that only spewed venom through their fangs in their full snake form, the Gorgons walked around with a hideous head of poisonous snakes. The snake hairs bit and poisoned without warning, reacting to their master's emotions.

This was the reason they were shunned.

"There is no need for you to worry about me. I know what I can and cannot do. As for the Poison Fields, I will personally clear them. Not because I want to show you my abilities, but because the Gorgons will make the perfect minions." Her violet eyes glowed with a cunning light, her cherry lips stretching into a devilish smirk.

It was the reason she desired to enslave them to her services.
