Rebirth of The Strongest Celestial - Chapter 167

SKY Ocean Hunter swim up into the forum meeting the First Minister in the centre. He swims around him like a predator his colours challenging him. The First Minister back down some battles cannot be won be fighting and he wants to see what this child has in mind to salvage his families House. He rests not in the Isekal section but close enough to make clear that his lot is with them.

SKY Ocean Hunter putting on his most diplomatic side signs, ” Forgive me, members of the Ancestral Hall, I could not sit by while this eel of a naga feeds you poisoned fish. We have all heard the whispers around Supreme Beings. Some of us have already left the houses brave enough to adopt us yet. The barren Ocean has for hundreds of years before our arrival been suffered a malcontent hiding as one of your own.” He swims slowly looking for anyone with a sympathetic colour. SKY Ocean Hunter understand the terror of the house of Isekal. They are a menace to society but the imbalance they have created has allowed for more diverse and none traditional opinions like the Supreme Beings.

The First Minister tries to interject signs, “You see how he lies, trying to slander a member of this hall. He has no respect, on honour, his whole house must be stopped.” Scores of his allies flash in agreement and some out of fear.

SKY Ocean Hunter signs, ” It is no great secret the meteoric rise of the Isekal, they have in a generation done what most of our houses have not been able to do in several hundred years. I would openly commend them if not for the price we have already had to pay, paid in lives and blood. Even before the Arrival of Supreme Beings seven Drowned Houses all so-called allies of the Isekal no longer exist. Before I was born they killed an entire generation of Naga. I will not mention the hundreds of Shallow houses that used to be their enemies. I am not saying we deserve to be in charge but if we vote in people who see as nothing more than Crustration food then we have truly fallen.” The Isekal have used fear as a means of attaining and keeping power this is why the first ministers didn’t want them around they could say things that the others could only think. This is a devastating blow to his campaign so he now has to pull out all the stops.

The First Minister can see the colours shift against him and his cause he signs, “Soon you will all bow, why to fight against it join pledge yourself to the future. Once they retrieve they open the KIng’s Passage none of you will be able to deny them. The masses will flock to the ones who control the waterway between the two Great Oceans. Don’t be decided by this boy this opportunity will decide whose house exists by the end of the year.” While not very subtle sometimes a direct threat can serve as a powerful reminder as to who they are dealing with. The house Isekal has devastated everyone they come across. Now that he is on the chopping block he will deliver what they want in a perfect net.

SKY Ocean Hunter glows bright signing in honoured colours, “You would speak of honour to us in this hall. While you can’t even look your masters in the eye. This is what they would make of you. Look at him this First Minister lives in fear he has no colour in his gills. Is this the future you want the King’s Passage will be opened but by me and then they will learn what a Naga can do? While you listen to him ask him to account for the lives they take in holding to power. Nagas are not slaves our people though fearful at first will rise up. Will they slaughter them until there is no one left like the Brair Patch a house known for only art and music lost to us forever? What future do they provide when we won’t be alive to enjoy it.”

Flashes of bright colour matching the at of SKY Ocean Hunter’s honour colours exploded throughout the hall. He has touched on something many of them have felt and been too afraid to voice. The Drowned Houses that have voiced it like Haunted Hydra and Pacific Blue were wiped out by them. The loss of Restless Kraken was truly a loss still felt throughout the Barren Ocean. They were militarily Drowned that specialised in defence. They were the keepers of many forts that used to defend them against the Crustations Forces. Fists are flying up as they show solidarity with SKY Ocean Hunter he smiles looking at the First Minister and the furious

The representative all fall silent when She stood blowing only two bubbles before leaving the Ancestral Hall. It is warded so SKY Ocean Hunter is afraid that she will try something here but he can’t stay and wait for the vote either. She must head back to the Passage too, unfortunately, he is stuck for at least an hour while the representative talk about what they have heard and today.

Solkor SUN Striker sings, “That was a good speech you are really good at this, how did you know that the Isekal were responsible for the Deaths of the Other houses.” SKY Ocean Hunter would tell him the truth if he believed Solkor SUN Striker was fully trustworthy but he doesn’t.

SKY Ocean Hunter sings, “Majesty was there the day Kraken House fell by their hands. Still, I failed though.” In truth, she was there but as a witness, she had wiped them out in a fit of rage.  Kraken Hosue was the traitor house that let the Isekal in the first place allow them to slaughter generations of Naga and helped plot against her Husband. Majesty wiped them all out in a matter of hours that day every Naga their even the honoured Second of the Isekal was laid to waste by her power.

His sister signs, “Failed how? We are going to win this vote or at least let them continue as is without a king whether the outcome is good for us.” She is correct when Majesty Abdigated once her seventy years were up to allow for the next generation. The Isekal were still a shallow house and not worthy of notice. Majestypostion is more ceremonial while they all wait for the next King to rise. As indicated by Tidal law that means only one of the new generation which means players.

SKY Ocean Hunter signs, “Didn’t you see when I mentioned Kraken House I expected her to flinch or something but she just left.” Majesty has suspected that the Isekal have an unseen ally behind the scenes. SKY Ocean Hunter played his card and she didn’t bite meaning where she doesn’t know about the massacre of Kraken house or she doesn’t care which seems more plausible by the day.

Solkor SUN Striker signs, “Well I hope to fail as spectacularly as you did one day.  That was amazing the way you used their own tactics against them. I would have never thought to actually say what they have been doing that would have ruined any political capital I have but I guess since you don’t actually operate out of the Barren itself you are not bound by the political pressure. I will keep you in mind in future if I ever need someone to blow something up politically.” Of course, it only works given who they are a random Naga would have been laughed out of the hall and it doesn’t hurt that SKY Ocean Hunter is popular amongst the common people.

The entire thing took almost four hours before Majesty was let out early, Solkor SUN Striker immediately takes SKY Ocean Hunter to the KIng’s Passage. There he meets up with the girls they have all been waiting for him.

He starts with Smittenkitten69, the protector looks worn out and tired. HIs colour reaches out through his arm to her as they touch scales and that familiar hum of scales rubbing against another. She warms her colour matching his and so doesn’t her movement.

Next, he invites MagmaHeart clasping her tail with his tail to her colours moving from body to another scales rubbing and clicking. MagmaHeart soon finds herself inside the pod swimming relaxed. BABYMAKERXCREAM flies in next rubbing against SKY Ocean hunter create a loud series of pops from their scales brushing up against one another.  X2CU joins in as the ball grows and the bodies become ever more intertwined. She like being able to hover around the outside and choose her points of entry. Hakagure joins as soon as McQueen is ready they ahead themselves to the pod.

SKY Ocean Hunter comes and signs, “Come on!” Calypso is standing there shocked that he wants to bond now. They should be rushing into the Kings passage, she looks at Solkor SUN Striker who is glad his skill is finally off cooldown and lightening away from the pod. Thinking to himself, ‘Fucken people man!’
