Kraxka Zaku enjoyed the meal with his daughter and wife, although his mind seemed elsewhere.

”Dear, what is it? ” asked his wife, Krixia Mazi. ”I see that you ’re troubled… Is there something in your mind? I-I know many things are happening around us, the Scaled God and the savage tribes and then this strange invisible barrier but… You shouldn ’t think too deeply about problems we cannot really solve aside from moving out. ”

”I know… ” sighed Kraxka, as he touched his wife ’s tail with his own and coiled it around hers in an act akin to holding hands for lizardmen. ”I am just worried about our future as a tribe. My father always told me that I had to guide and protect everyone… But now, even as Rank 2 Peak Stage and the strongest of the tribe, I don ’t know if I am even capable of… The element I inherited from my family, life… can it really keep helping everyone? ”

Kraxka looked into his own scaled claws, as a bright yellow and green light emerged from within, the power of Life Magic, a very rare element that one in a million had around the continent of Jotunheimr… while Ice Giants prominently had ice magic, mountain giants earth or metal magic, and elves nature magic, lizardmen had the prominent element of water, so someone with a Life magic was very rare, and often seen as guiders, as they were able to use this element to heal other people and keep everyone healthy and safe.

”You ’ve kept many people healthy, and you ’ve learned most of the spells that your father left behind on his book. ” Said her wife. ”You ’re the doctor of the entire tribe and also their chief, without you most of the tribe would be gone now… ”

Kraxka smiled faintly back at his wife and his daughter who was snacking in a large fish with her big jaws, to him she looked adorable.

”I just wish things could be better. I want to attempt once more a reconciliation with that village… I… want to… but I fear that they might attack us again, and those kids going to steal fruit doesn ’t help… Although that fruit could resolve our problem with food reserves, and it seems very nutritious… ” sighed Kraxka. ”I don ’t want more conflict. ”

”Eh? But father, those people are evil, they killed grandpa!!! ” roared his daughter.

”Miminga! Don ’t roar back at your father! ” roared her mother.

Miminga lowered her head and seemed to be sorry.

”S-Sorry… ”

”I know… But I cannot blame the action of a single one of them to their entire group, especially because that place has many races. I always thought that if we could finally become part of their village, we would be able to slowly adapt with the other races… ” sighed Kraxka. ”But we are considered monsters to them, and our more savage siblings seem to only make that perception of us worse. ”

”How about this? For now, try to deal with the gang of kids stealing fruit and then maybe we can try something else. ” Said his wife. ”I don ’t want you to risk your life pointlessly, so deal with the problem that you have in front of your nose first. ”
