Chapter 459 The Four Tribes
I opened it up to find a beautiful bracelet inside with glowing beads along the band. The thing was nice enough, but I didn\'t really understand what it was used for. I had never seen anything of the like.
"What good is something like this going to do for me? I mean, it looks nice enough, but what good is putting more stars in the sky?" I asked, my voice tinged with suspicion.
"Oh, you will find out soon enough! Enjoy it, my son," Kadeon said before disappearing, leaving me alone in the room with an odd bracelet and more questions than answers.
Every time I interacted with Kadeon, I got a strange feeling. The way that he always acted so happy and excited was exhausting, and it felt fake. At least with my mother, Nemoria, I knew that she was an evil bitch, but she didn\'t try to hide it. If The Goddess of Darkness and all that shadow touches can act kind and loving, then The God of Light could very likely do the same thing.
Still, I had nothing but a bad feeling to go on, but even if he was, I really wasn\'t sure what I could do about it. It was just the same with my mother, and I had made attempts in the past to fight her, but she was immune to every form of damage that I could think of. Whatever the difference was between myself and Kadeon, I still had to respect him as a parent.
With that thought, I put the bracelet on my wrist and went through the portal, ready for whatever was waiting for me on the Amazon island. On the other side, Giantessa was sitting on the steps leading up to her throne.
"You came!" She said as she got up and jogged over to me.
"Yeah, sorry I took so long," I said, but Giantessa shook her head.
"I really didn\'t think that you would come for a while, but I am glad that you are here now. Do you have a plan on how to deal with my Amazons?" Giantessa asked, and I laughed.
"What kind of plan do you think will work with a bunch of knuckleheads? If these girls are the brainless fighters that you claim them to be, kicking their asses isn\'t going to work alone," I said, and Giantessa nodded.
"Do you think that if you were bigger, that might help?" Giantessa asked, but I shook my head.
While bigger might make them respect me, the rest of the world was smaller. I needed to get them to start respecting people that were my size, not ones their size.
"No, that is part of the problem, I think. I can\'t really say much till I go see them, but from what I know about Amazons, they are prideful of their tall stature, but they also treat other shorter races condescendingly," I said, and she nodded.
"That hits the nail on the head. Have you ever had to deal with this before in your past lives? Even when you first met me, the girls of my island were kind to you, and I was the one that had been rude to you," Giantessa said, but I pulled her into a hug and kissed the top of her head.
"You were very young at the time, and we had a lot of fun after you left the island with me, but I have dealt with women like this before. The problem was that when I did, it was with small groups, and they were easy to get to change their ways. This is a lot different than that, so I am going to have to figure out something different. The problem right now is that there isn\'t just one small island of people with whom I can gather together and have a reasonable conversation. Then there is the fact that everyone is split up, right? there are different tribes?" I asked, and Giantessa nodded.
"Yes, there are four tribes, but only three main ones. The fourth is the half-breeds, and they are the only ones that act decently. The Sila, Ares, and Lancer Tribes all are full-blooded Amazons, and they are going to be your main problems," Giantessa said, and I nodded.
"Is there anything you can tell me about the three that might help me understand them better?" I asked as Giantessa pulled back from me. "Any quirks or things that they like and hate would be extremely helpful. While I want to get everyone on the same page, I really don\'t think that the same tactics are going to on all three tribes,"
"The Lancer are the tallest and most arrogant, which makes them the most difficult. They are all about strength and power and will rarely allow any other opinion to become their own. The Ares are the most aggressive and war-like of the three tribes. I think that if you can convince them that you are a formidable opponent that they will let you help with negotiations. Last but not least, there is the Sila. They are the most mysterious and traditional of the three, so they will be more difficult to get through to. They are also the most spiritual out of the tribes and are protective of their way of life," Giantessa explained, and I nodded.
"Sounds like a handful, but I think that I can handle it. Do you have any recommendations on where I should start?" I asked her, and she thought for a moment before nodding.
"I would start with the Lancer Tribe. They are the most influential among the other tribes, and so if you can convince them to help you, then I think you might find it easy to gain the approval of the other two tribes." Giantessa said, and I nodded.
"Alright, then, I guess I will head there first. Do you mind opening a portal? I don\'t really know my way around the island," I said, and Giantessa smiled.
"Of course. Travel safe, my Cat God," She said before opening a portal for me. I stepped through, marveling at the stunning scenery that was on the other side of the portal.
