"Indeed you have everything you need.

But let"s think about the invasion later.

I"m sure all of you must be hungry. I doubt that you were able to pack food while being chased by hundreds of guards. Let us eat."

Mogranius had an instant reaction the second he heard the word "Food".

He spoke up in a sort of loud way

"FOOD. Finally. We have been eating plants and nuts for the past TWO days. I need meat."

Commander Alia looks at the ground for a few seconds and with grief she says

"It is the most difficult to gather food while avoiding being seen. As ten foot people, my men can not hunt animals without being noticed quite a while away."

Eric can"t figure out how exactly these people kept a steady food supply if they remained in hiding. He dared to ask

"Perhaps our gang can help you out with that situation. But may i ask, how did this entire town have a steady food supply if all of you remained in hiding. Hunting seems a bit impossible. So how did you have a steady food supply?"

Commander Alia replies proudly

"Our indoor farms. We have many of them. But our food is barely half way through from growing and our supply from last year is almost at its end."

After finis.h.i.+ng that sentence, she continued with a calming matter

"But let"s not worry about that now. Now we shall eat."

After finis.h.i.+ng her sentence, a guard approached with what seemed to be a two foot long and wide bucket of food. It had a lot of vegetables in them.

Melons, tomatoes, water melons, carrots, cabbages, peppers, all cut in slices. Ready to eat, just grab and bite. The bucket also carried a few fruits that are growable deep underground, such as grapes and oranges.

Eric"s tongue drops down after seeing so much taste filled food but his curiosity is greater than hunger. He asks

"You were able to grow all of this underground? You said you were short on food!"

Commander Alia replies with confusion

"We did and we are. This bucket who could feed four of you, can only feed one guard for a week."

Eric follows up and says

"Well in that case your farms must be miles long."

Commander alia proudly says

"They are. Each farm is a mile long. Except for the fruit farms. They are half a mile long, each."

Eric and Woldemir both reply

"You have to give us a tour later."

But before Commander Alia was able to say a word, they were hearing Mogranius doing a..rather shameful act. Not shameful as in running around naked. But still shameful. Mogranius didn"t seem to mind that there was no meat. As the vegetables and fruits seemed just as fulfilling. A second before anyone said anything or even managed to reach out for food, Mogranius already made his way to the Bucket and was already flirting with the bucket. Yes, with the BUCKET.

"You are a beautiful food filled Bucket aren"t you. Oh yes you are. Oh yes."

After that he proceeded to chuck down as much food as humanly possible and ended up eating half of what the bucket offered before anyone even reached out for the food.

He then was laying on his back with his belly fat and big, saying under his breath

"Now that"s a meal."

Commander Alia after witnessing such animal like eating, said with a mocking tone

"He has a big appet.i.te, that"s for sure. But yet he doesn"t seem overweight. I wonder if Akareas put him in a diet."

Mogranius replied under his breath

"Yes. i was not aboard with her plan though."

Eric follows up as he got shocked simply because Commander Alia mentioned the name "Akareas".

He asks

"You know Akareas?"

Commander Alia shakes her head from left to right and says

"No no. personally i did not meet her. But the Guards talk about the great extinction a lot."

Stefan follows up while chewing down on a carrot

"The great extinction you say? Are you talking about the Blue Goblins?"

Commander Alia replies with

"Yes Yes. Like my men, they two were lava controllers. But unlike my men, they didn"t plan to burn everything to the ground. Sparing no one, including children."

Eric follows up in disgust but he did not stop eating of course. He asks

"In that case i"m glad they are gone. Less work for me. But how does Akareas connect to this."

A second after they saw Mogranius standing near the edge of the Volcano, looking down at the lava. As if he wanted to look more attractive. Which kind of worked.

But yet again no one saw him stand up and walk his way there.

He says

"It"s where Akareas discovered her powers.

As a fan of nature she was just happily running across a field. Only sixteen years old.

A hole suddenly caused by the blue goblins made her slide and tumble all the way down to their underground town. Which was quite a few miles down."

Commander Alia adds a few words of her own

"Indeed it was a few miles. It is a miracle on how she survived. But it"s good that she did. Legend has it that she tumbled down a day before the Blue Goblins were about to burn everything to the ground."

Then Mogranius was suddenly a foot apart from Commander Alia, staring directly at her eyes and said

"I"m telling the story."

After that he walked his way to the edge of the Volcano again and said

"Yes it was one day before the invasion.

A blue Goblin who defined her own kind"s plans, rescued Akareas and got her back on her feet in no time. But once the blue goblin King discovered that his own kind aided a non blue goblin, he executed the one who rescued her.

Eric follows up and says

"That"s what triggered her powers? right?"

Mogranius replies with

No. It was something else. The Goblin King was ten foot tall while his troops were five foot each.

He saw it fair to duel Akareas one on one.

After throwing her a vicious beating, Akareas discovered her powers out of desperation.

Without an outburst that is. She started controlling lava. Putting an end to a five thousand people civilization."
