Affinity:Chaos

Grey and his friends left the region, but not the same way they came to it. With Grey's help, they managed to take out two necromancer's camps, while the threat of an Elder from the Phoenix Faction being a Necromancer was also sorted out.

He didn't take the twins with him as he left the region with his friends. After giving them the same orders he gave to Lewis, he left them alone. There was no point speaking too much. He would be updated on what's happening here thanks to his newly found wide network.

'Who would've thought the bunny leader's network had spread even to this region?'

To Grey's surprise, he found out the bunny leader had actually created a large network between bunnies and it was updated on what was happening on most of the regions in the Aurora Continent. The thought that the bunny leader possessed such means was frightening. No one in the Continent would ever suspect that they were being watched by tiny bunnies.

The bunny leader joined the group as they left the region which made it very convenient for Grey. With the bunny leader by his side, he would be able to keep tabs on the twins and keep them in check. He learned the duo had just one name, Robert. It wasn't strange since their parents wouldn't believe they were actually two people and not one person.

The group continued their travel across the continent.

While they've been away from the main stage in the Aurora Continent, trouble has been brewing, the Continent was in danger. Everyone was aware of this, but they didn't know when the darkness was going to strike.

Reports of multiple Gnome attacks have been spread across the Continent, it is unknown if they were true or if this was just a plan by the Gnomes to disrupt the lives of humans. All the people knew was that they had to settle this issue as soon as they could.

Meetings have been taking place in the Continent among the top forces on how to fight against this growing threat. The Gnomes were coming, and it might happen sooner than they expected.

The upper echelons of each Family and Faction were preparing for the war that was coming while the youngsters are allowed to train and grow stronger. The stronger they get, the better their chances of surviving what was coming. Only those who are able to keep themselves alive will live, the rest might die. Not just that, but there's a chance that the Gnomes might win the war which will spell doom for the entire Aurora Continent, and its inhabitants.

While the top powerhouses were discussing on how to counter the threat of the Gnomes, the issue of Grey being in the kill order of the Gnomes was naturally brought up. The Dawson Family were present there, and so was Grey's father, Lucas Dawson.

Everyone at the meeting was curious about the reason the Gnomes would release such an order while offering such rewards. Some Sovereigns were tempted by the rewards offered which showed the value the Gnomes placed on Grey's head.

Lucas told them of Grey's experience in the secret realm and how he humiliated the Gnome race in there. When the others heard about it, and thinking of the proud nature of Gnomes, they felt the chances of what Lucas was saying is true.

Some top Families and Factions present would never take such humiliation from such a young fellow.

The story wasn't accepted by everyone, but since there was no way to find out what happened from the mouth of the Gnomes, they didn't bother. At least with Grey's presence, he might be able to take some heat off these guys and allow them the chance to think of ways to defeat the Gnomes once again.

Not all top Families and Factions present in the Continent attended these meetings, there are a few who felt they had lifetime enmity with some Families or Factions and therefore can not be in the same place with them unless a brawl will ensue. Of all the Families absent, there's one that particularly hate the Dawson Family. These people want the destruction of the Dawson Family.

The Aurora Continent started to show signs of a calm, even with the repeated meetings, the Continent was slowly getting into a dormant state, like a snake waiting to strike, it started to become less busy. Most of the people in the Continent were focused on getting stronger. Those who aren't strong enough are doing everything they can to become stronger.

The news of the Gnomes possible return had been slowly spread across the Continent to make the residents aware.

…..

A month went by in a flash.

Since leaving the Phoenix Faction region, the group's journey had been peaceful. There hadn't been anything eventful so far and after destroying the necromancer's camp, they had not been involved in any other form of battle.

They've been sparring more often because of this which pleased Grey, but not the others. Alice enjoyed fighting, so sparring wasn't something she would ever turn down.

Grey and the others were lying in a small cabin when the bunny leader came to them.

It told them of what was happening in the world and the threat of the Gnomes. Its suggestion is that we left this place and hide until the battle was over. The bunny leader, even with its underlings, it didn't like fighting.

Grey went on to pass the message to his friends.

"What are we doing here then? Let's go kick some fucking Gnome ass!" Klaus was pumped when he heard this.

"Not so fast, there are still certain things we don't know about." Alice stopped Klaus from doing anything rash.

"There's no information on their location." Grey said.

"You're like a walking magnet for these guys, just step out and they'll come after you within seconds."

"It's too dangerous. We don't know the strength of all the Gnomes in the region."
