' Fuck...' Was my first thought as I stared at this status.
They were strong, incredibly strong.
And she had a fucking status effect too, I immediately focused on it and a screen appeared after.
[—Blooded II: A state where the users need to be bathed in the blood of a predator animal alongside the blood of their enemies by a Kamali.
—Effects: +10 Body, +10 Sense, increases their connection with nature allowing them to traverse it and be in tune with its secrets.]
' Double fuck....what the fuck is a Kamali and is this shit ritual magic or something?!' Were my thoughts in disarray my mind all over the place trying to make sense of this.
Stabilising myself quickly though I looked back at the woman and spoke.
" Anya, nice to meet you too." I muttered, Anya thinned her eyes at the fact that I knew her name without having her say it.
She looked back at Lincoln and probably reasoned out that maybe I got my information from him, I didn't correct her on that.
" I hope you know what we are here for Sky Leader." Muttered Anya staring at me, scoffing at her I decided to play along.
" I know what I am here for yes, I want peace between us, the needless killing of both our people will not do us any good in the long run after all." I said catching Anya's attention as she looked at me.
" You wish to talk about peace to us when your people landed on our lands, passed into our territory and murdered two of our people?" She asked her voice increasing with each word." To me Ezekiel of the Sky People, that is a declaration of war." She muttered with finality.
To that I of course scoffed, I glared at her.
" We were not the first ones to throw the spear here Anya, your people attacked first and we had no choice but to retaliate for landing in your territory, we apologize, we knew not that there were still people alive on the ground and even then we had no choice in where we landed." I said before adding after.
" As for the murder of your people, we would hope to rectify that and negotiate terms to a ceasefire until my people come down from space." I told her.
" You'd wish to ask for a ceasefire whilst you train your men into warriors in the span of a single week?" She asked as if that was the most ridiculous thing she's heard." Please sky person, I am not so naive as to think that even if I agreed to this ceasefire that when your people, more warriors as I've heard from your friend would immediately break said treaty and attack us."
" We would have no need for that, all we seek is land to strive on and peace to grow ourselves, we hold no enmity towards the grounders." I told her, she didn't seem to believe me though.
" And what do we get from all of this?" She asked." We let you use our lands and you give us what?"
" When the arkers come down they'll come with advanced technology, medicine and knowledge." I told her." In the ark we couldn't make use of most of that due to lack of raw material but in the ground, we can become much stronger than we are now, we can allow you medicine, shelter if needed and supplies for when needed." I told her fishing, I wanted to see whether they'd agree to that or not.
" All of that for our land." She muttered dissatisfied.
" And peace, we wish not to fight with the krikru." I said to her." I do not shy away from war if it knocks at my door Anya but I like avoiding it when it does us no good or is of no interest to us."
To this, she paused staring at me with a frown.
" No deal." She muttered and immediately I frowned at her.
' So war is what you want?' I thought already resigning myself but paused when her next words registered in my mind.
" But." She said first before resuming." The Kali fruit, we've heard that you've obtained some from within our territory, now we won't simply demand that you give it to us without compensation, so here are our terms."
' Kali what?' These were my immediate thoughts before my brain quickly made the connection to what she could be talking about.
' Radiux Fruit....how the fuck did they find out abo- Finn!....Raven!!!'
I made no effort to hide the frown and murderous anger from my face as I stared at the boy still tied and held by the grounders.
Anya seemed to have seen this from the smile that appeared on her face.
" Now now...I understand that Kali Fruit is incredibly rare and sought after but this is a great deal for you." She said before continuing.
" We will give you Finn, grant you land and territory within ours and also agree on a peace treaty that I hope the people that come down from the sky will also abide by and all we need from you are the Kali fruit." She said, her smile still apparent on her face.
'.... wait, so fruits like my Radiux fruit exist?' I thought frowning further.
" You mean one of these?" I asked after making it as if I was taking something out of my bag on my waist and immediately dumped 5 of the Radiux fruits in there but took out one.
When I did this her eyes suddenly bulged as she stared at it.
" M-may I hold it?" She asked, I looked at her curiously within my frown but gave it to her.
She then muttered in Trigedasleng." Incredible...Quality.....Rich...Nature."
I only understood 4 words out of all that she muttered, I did infer from them that in ranks to what fruits they had seen or had ever obtained that mine was of higher quality which would put me at an advantage in any future trading that would come.
