Beast Trials: King Cade Appears!

Posted 6 months ago :: Last edited 5 months ago by Herboreal

King Cade & The Cicadles

In ages long before man
when animals and gods ruled the lands

There was one mighty king
Dressed with glamour and sheen

He let his children feast and his clan raise number

 When the goddess looked down upon her domain
All but barren wastes were left behind the king’s reign

The goddess faced the king and his kith
“These lands you ruin were never yours to begin with”

“Until the end of time, for every 800 seasons you will slumber” 

All aiti are familiar with this story as it is often sang to them as fawns. Eight hundred seasons is quite a long time for aiti and humans alike and soon they forget what the story forebodes.

On the longest, hottest day of the year, an ear splitting buzzing is heard. As the sun is directly above in the sky, a giant shadow is seen flying toward the nearest human village. As Aitielkh follow the buzzing, large blue beetles are seen all over the forest, deserts, mountains and swamps.

As aitielkh rush into the human villages, these beetles are even more present, and even with all the buzzing, the sound of chewing can be heard. A gigantic creature with sparkly wings, an impressive collar of fur, and a massive crown of horns seats himself on the tallest structure in the village.  

“All of you silly things seem to forget, but King Cade never forgets. My children and I have been forced beneath the ground to slumber by your wretched goddess, but her powers could never make me succumb for good. Your wretched Goddess thinks my children only deserve to feast for the light of one day, but my wonderful children deserve to eat whatever they want, whenever they want. Since you ridiculous two legged creatures have come around, the landscapes have become far more fascinating. The more work you put into building your outlandish structures, the more delicious they are to my kin. And so, to show the goddess herself who here is king, we shall feast until nothing is left. Bon appétit”

  As people and elkh alike start to panic, how does your aitielkh subdue the cicadles before they leave the villages and forests to splinters? At nightfall, King Cade and his Cicadles will return back to the earth to slumber, but the damage must be reduced before they eat everything!

Join in this Beast Trial with your aitielkh or habapi to earn Beast Boxes with special prizes! As always, if the group collectively meets the goal, every participant will receive an extra Lv2 Beast Box at the end of the event!
