--AN) Decided to change the poll since it was not very clear. Choices this time are...

Reply 1 for Anna staying human and staying Blake's sister. Reply 2 for Anna becoming Blake's wife and a Drakani. Reply 3 for Anna just becoming Blake's wife --

The young man was scared to the point that he actually wet himself as he ran away. He could no longer control his bladder. Clance looked at the escape brat and snorted. "Anna, next time, just punch him. No need to listen to his crap."

"Okay, I will…. What brings you here suddenly?" Anna asked.

"Actually, since you are here, I need your help. At the teleport point, I have a group of humans that need to be settled in if you could. I will report it to Sister Lillia. So just give them a spot to settle down in, and she will take care of the rest." Clance knew that Anna knew what to do. And sure enough, Anna nodded and said: "Okay, I will go handle it!"

Anna ran off while Clance disappeared and reappeared inside the base. She walked through the halls before going down four floors and stopping at a room. Inside you could hear Lillia's voice as she was giving lessons to their daughters. "Remember, you can kill a dragon by flanking it like this…."

Clance opened the door to see all her husband's children sitting on the floor on pillows, intently paying attention to Lillia's lecture. "Sister Lillia, I need to speak with you for a moment about something before I head back."

"Mama!" A little dragonic girl got up and ran over to Clance and hugged her waist. She then looked around and asked: "Where is papa!? Papa!? Papa, where are you!?"

"Joy, Papa is still down south. Mama only came here to talk with Mama Lillia. You and your sisters stay here and think about what Mama Lillia just said while I speak with her in private." Clance rubbed her daughter's head gently with a warm smile before pushing back toward her seat.

Lillia had everyone go into a mana meditation to try to expand their mana pools some before pulling Clance out of the room. "Sister Clance, what is wrong?"

"We had a change in the situation. After we fought the orcs and pulled them into our ranks, We went to a human town to recruit them. We waited four days outside, but when someone finally came to talk with us just as we were about to move to the elven settlement. We found out that they were under attack by a new race called the reglios. And…." Clance took a deep breath and said: "They are powerful. They used the same spell that sent Blake away before. If I was not there, everyone might have died. But even I could only match its strength. I could not defeat it, and it escaped. The worst part is there were around twenty or so of them, and they all hid inside the shadows of other objects."

"This…. You said they were using shadows?" Lillia asked. Her brow was furrowed as something came to mind.

"Yes. They dived into the shadows to escape." Clance replied.

"I remember an old scroll from the old ather dragon library that had a section that spoke of a kind of magic that allowed one to manipulate the shadows, but there was no description on how to do it. And I know for a fact that these new reglios were not on earth in the past, so this is definitely a new race. But to already be as strong as you, is a little worrisome…." Lillia did not like this at all. Currently, she could be considered the strongest, but she could not survive if all the old goats of the dragonic gathered together. Their combined battle prowess overpowers her. But for a new race to appear and already be as strong as Clance worried her very much.

"Did the text talk about any weaknesses?" Clance asked, her eyes filled with hope.

"Only light can destroy shadows. But you would need to do it so that no shadows are able to be cast. If there is even a small shadow, one could easily dive into it and wait for a chance to surface again." Lillia knew that getting rid of shadows was possible, but it would require a blinding light. "We would need to test this out, but it should not be hard. I will look into it and see if I can work some things out. Because if they can move around using shadows, they may easily break into our city. We will need countermeasures right away."

"Sorry for the trouble…." Clance lowered her head. She felt it was her fault. Lillia smiled and rubbed Clance's head. "Don't worry. As your elder sister, I will try to come up with something. You just worry about protecting our husband. I will be sure he gives you a solo night for all your hard work."

Clance's eyes lit up as she nodded her head. "I will do my best!" Clance leaned forward and kissed Lillia on the lips. She then explained about the newcomers before disappearing. Lillia chuckled before going back into the room and clapping her hands: "Alright! Let's see how much you have learned today!"

Back south, Clance reappeared at the base camp where everyone was gathered. Blake welcomed her with a warm smile. "How did it go?"

"Anna is settling them. Sister Lillia will give them their contracts. As for the reglios, she said she has read about shadow magic before. But she said the only way to beat it is to use really bright lights to make shadows disappear. In other words, she will try to work on a means of protecting our city at the very least." Clance explained as she sat down next to the fire.

"When I return, I will also help. To know that the magic they use for hiding can be easily countered is a good thing but to do it on a mass scale is another story." Noa tapped her lips as she got lost in thought. She really wondered if there was a way to do it on a mass scale.

"We will figure it all out in due time. For now, let's gather up and make some ground. We still have a day's journey to the elven encampment."
