Each Void, regardless of its size, was in the background of the World of Darkness only a small sphere within which an entire world could be found. Other zones could see each other in the midst of the vast darkness, and those that crossed into the Fifth Chronicle were especially bright.
"Damn, that's a lot of energy. There seems to be a very strong core inside this zone, doesn't it?" The massive Wolf with the wide scar on his chest muttered looking at the gray orb from which an enormous amount of black energy was emanating.
There were many other spheres floating around him, all different colors and sizes, but none of them had as much energy as the one he was looking at.
"Hah, it might be dangerous, but considering they're just moving into the Fifth Chronicle, it'll be easy prey! Hahaha, idiots! You should have taken care of the defense when promoting Chronicle!" The wolf laughed angrily, already practically tasting the prey.
Crackle.
The stone doors opened, causing the wolf to open his eyes, and stepping out of the closed space. He waved his hand and turned around with a disgruntled look.
"I told you not to disturb me!" The wolf growled before he could even see who had come to him.
"Hmm? Why so aggressive? Didn't we have an agreement?" The girl tilted her head in confusion. She had long purple hair, mechanical plates on her arms, and eyes like technical blue stars.
"Keira... What the fuck are you doing here...?" Wolf muttered, not sure why his ally had come to him at such a moment until his eyes went wide, "Wait... Did you notice that so quickly...?"
"Sure. Gaur, I hope you remember what we agreed on, don't you?" Keira asked with an unemotional look; she seemed calm, but blue lightning bolts appeared beside her.
Gaur remained silent until he smirked with a lick of his teeth, "Of course. We agreed to attack the next zone with more energy, but are you sure it's worth it?"
Keira nodded immediately, "There's enough energy in that zone for both of us to get what we need. Judging by your confident smirk, you think you can handle it alone, but I wouldn't be so careless if I were you."
"Agh... I am a person of words, but you're right, I don't think this zone is strong enough to require both of us. Can you prove me otherwise?" Gaur waved his hand nonchalantly as if he was absolutely certain of his victory.
"Don't be so arrogant. You may have less intelligence than I do, but your instincts are definitely sharper. Look at that area again, there's so much energy there for a reason, raising the Chronicle was done by someone powerful." Keira muttered without emotion, which made Gaur frown, but he didn't get aggressive.
"You Constructs can be too direct. If I hadn't known you for a long time, I would have already attacked you for making such an insulting comparison." Gaur shook his head.
"Hmm? I was actually complimenting your instincts. I pointed out your pluses and minuses, but I did the same with myself, what's the problem? Maybe you have complexes?" Keira tilted her head in confusion.
Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.
The veins in Gaur's forehead swelled as his bones rattled. The air around Gaur charged while his angry gaze was fixed on Keira, so intently as if he were going to tear her apart. However, Keira herself had no reaction to it, as if she had expected something like this to happen.
"Argh! Okay, I'll check it again!" Gaur waved his hand, quickly calming down before closing his eyes again.
Endless space as well as many spheres appeared around him and his gaze went to the gray sphere around which there was several times more energy.
'Shit... Looks like Keira's actually right... I didn't feel it before, but now I'm getting goosebumps. It looks like if I attack this area alone, I'll take a huge loss... I have to avoid it.' Gaur muttered inwardly with a complicated look.
"Sounds like you've already made up your mind, doesn't it?" Keira surmised and without waiting for his answer said, "In that case, I expect your move in five minutes. We must hurry if we don't want anyone to get ahead of us."
Gaur wanted to add something, but Keira was already gone, like a flash of lightning disappearing into the dark passage.
"Argh... Keira is a good ally, but I still can't get used to Beastfolks and Constructs working together now... Our Progenitors' decision was a shock to us all, but it seems to make some sense, doesn't it?" Gaur muttered while shaking his head before heading for the exit.
He was the owner of his Void which was also on the Fifth Chronicle, it was an area comparable to the real world and now he was about to declare war.
He was on top of a massive tree that overlooked a vast forest that seemed endless. It looked like a peaceful place, but it was home to dangerous monsters and the strongest Beastfolks, who had been waiting a long time for a decent battle to begin.
"Well, Keira has probably already prepared everything and is just waiting for me, five minutes... Hah, that's too long!" Gaur exclaimed with an excited expression as he waved his hand.
Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.
Space trembled as a message appeared high in the sky that every inhabitant of the area saw.
[Your Void leader has declared war on the new zone that has entered the Fifth Chronicle!]
[Prepare for battle! The invasion will begin in a minute!]
...
"Well, Gaur did it faster than I asked him to, though that's what I was counting on." Keira muttered standing on top of the tower while the wind currents fluttered her white coat.
Snap.
Keira snapped her fingers and the inhabitants of her zone saw exactly the same messages. Unlike the forest in Gaur's world, below the tower were a real city of skyscrapers and hundreds of streets with drones flying among them.
