Blake shook his head once more as he answered: "If there comes a day when you are more powerful than me. Then we will talk until then. Keep your people safe. Do not go around starting wars and getting the humans you so cherish killed for no reason. You are far from being powerful enough. If I did not show up today, you would have all been wiped out. You are lucky the Beast King was willing to come and ask for my help in this situation. But do not think he is weak. The beast king can easily kill all of you if he so chooses. After all, to survive against the dragonic and other races up until this point, he has to have some form of strength. Grace, first learn more about this new world and open those narrowed eyes. Life is not like it used to be. Just because you gained a small amount of power does not mean you are a god."

After saying these words, Blake turned and flew away from what was left of the army that planned to invade the beastkin. He created a tall wall of earth to block their forward advance. He did not know what would become of the humans under Grace's command, but he hoped they would soon understand that in their new reality that humans are not the rulers of this world.

Ambition will only lead to downfall without proper strength. He hoped she would change for the better. He felt pity for her. He once used to charge forth as a foot soldier trying to take back land. But now those forces that once had been leading the forefront of humanity in his past life were now either on his side or in hiding.

He had changed the future. He knew this. He never recalled there being some kind of human goddess. But he could see the reverence in the eyes of the people who looked at Grace. He had heard the soldier who spoke to her calling her, Her Holiness. He just hoped that these people could survive. After all, humans were far lacking in numbers now compared to some of the other races.

"Your Holiness, what shall we do?" The general of Grace's army asked.

"We shall return. With Blake Harris here protecting the beastkin, we can not touch them. We are still too weak, myself included. Let's go!" Grace walked back to her palanquin and sat down. A few soldiers came over and lifted it into the air, and began walking back to their human stronghold. Blake and the girls stood in the sky to oversee the retreat. He was glad they did not force his hand too much. He did not wish to wipe out humans even if they went against his ideals.

As the human army turned in retreat, Grace snuck a peak up at the sky. Her lips curved up slightly before slowly turning down. "My one and only love is now a demi human…. I shall be the one to kill you and release you from your curse."

As the curtain fell back down, Grace leaned back on her seat and looked up at the ceiling above her. She wondered if Tobie would be okay. She herself did not realize she was a walking contradiction. She hated demi humans but she deep down loved Tobie, her cat girl lover. She was already missing her and wanted to have her at her side. But now…. Grace suddenly felt lonely….

"It seems this will end peacefully." Tina let out a sigh of relief. She also did not wish to fight humans. After all, she was once human herself.

"Luckily, we did not need to fight. I just hope that these humans will open their eyes and stop believing that they should own this world. Although I also once thought this same way. But I now know that this world never belonged to humans. It was given to us for a short time by a lovely and most beautiful girl." Blake took Lillia's hand, causing her to blush.

Blake smiled and said: "Let's go speak with the beast king."

"I will lead the way." Tornack suddenly appeared next to them. He had been watching things from afar. He was glad that war did not break out. But he was also stunned by how strong Blake was. He was able to make the entire army kneel before him. This proved that he alone was enough to wipe out all those humans.

Blake nodded his head. He took both Tina and Lillia by the hand and followed after Tornack as they flew over the massive walls of the beastkin city and towards the biggest building within. When they landed, Tornack bowed his head to Blake and said: "Please allow me to announce that you are here."

"That is fine." Blake was not one who would just barge right in when dealing with another race's leader. He did enjoy looking around at how the beastkin built up such a fantastic looking city. It showed just how different cultures could be, no matter what era they were living in.

The tribal style of the city was quite interesting and gave it a unique feel. Especially how it had multi story buildings. He wondered if he could somehow incorporate such aesthetics into Destiny City to give it a more vibrant feel. Lillia nudged Blake and asked: "What are you thinking?"

"I was just thinking that it wouldn't be so bad to add a bit of beastkin aesthetics to our city. It might give it an even more lively feel." Blake answered honestly.

"Mmm… It is quite nice and unique, but I am not sure it would work for our city. We are more too magic and technology mixed. But maybe some awnings would work." Lillia looked at some of the awnings that covered the doorways and windows and felt that they might work.

"Well, the city is built by the people to how they feel it should look, so I won't push anything on to them. They all seem to love how it looks for now. But we can always make suggestions and see how they feel about it. The city planning board is quite open minded after all."
