Novel Full Chapter 594 The Truth Is Sometimes Bigger Than Life Itself
“Who is Arawn, by the way?” Ethan asked the Elven Queen.
The Elven Queen and the Fairy Queen glanced at each other before shifting their gaze at Ethan.
“Arawn isn’t really a Fomorian,” the Elven Queen, who went by the name Wynfiel, answered. “He used to be a member of the Tuatha De Danann, and he was a very powerful warrior. He briefly participated in the war against the Fomorians but soon backed out for reasons only known to him.
“There were even rumors that Arawn sided with the Fomorians and betrayed his race. But, these rumors were said to be unfounded.”
“Arawn liked hunting and carnage, as well as destruction,” the Fairy Queen commented. “Although he didn’t have a good reputation among the Tuatha De Danann, he never raised his blade against them nor killed any of his people.
“As to what happened to him during the war, no one really knew, for he was never seen again after he returned to his homeland, Anwnn, to quell an uprising in his own Domain. If he truly became the advisor of the Fomorians, then this complicates things.”
The Fairy Queen’s face was grim. It was clear that she didn’t like the prospect of having a confrontation with one of the Champions of the Tuatha De Danann.
“Now that you mentioned Anwnn, the Fomorians live near it,” Ethan stated. “Of course, not all of them did, but there are easily a thousand of them near his domain.”
Seff, who had remained silent and was only listening to the side, voiced out his thoughts for everyone to hear.
“Is there anything else that we should know about?” Seff inquired. “Anything else of significance from the memories you gathered?”
Ethan nodded. “From the memories I gathered, a Fomorians named Aspis is very concerned about a group of people called the ‘Milesians’. According to his memory, they are also looking for the Artifacts of the Tuatha De Danann and will also be sending an Elite Force to the Shire Continent to look for those treasures.”
This time, Seff, King Austen, and the Dwarf King frowned after hearing the Milesians.
Ethan, who had no idea who they were in the past, went to ask Mimir. The Giant Head told him that they were the race that had driven the Tuatha De Danann out from the world.
It was because of them that these powerful races went into hiding, just like the Fomorians.
Mimir added that some of them had gone to the Lands of Saraqael, while the rest settled in small communities, far away from major kingdoms and cities, and lived their lives in peace.
In short, the Milesians were the victors who had established their Kingdom, while the Fomorians and the Tuatha De Danann were the losers who disappeared from the pages of history.
The Shire Continent and the Milesians had bad blood between them because there was one point in time when these Conquerors had set their eyes on the Shire Continent.
They were repelled by its inhabitants, but it was a pyrrhic victory.
Countless lives were lost during that war, and the lands of the Shire Continent were bathed in blood.
“Not only must we deal with the Fomorians, but we must also deal with those bastards?” the Dwarven King laughed out of anger. “It seems that the Forges of Khaled Bor need to be set ablaze once again.”
“I just hope they don’t attack us one after the other,” King Austen sighed. “Either of them is a troublesome enemy, and whoever takes advantage of this opportunity when we are at our weakest will definitely have the advantage.”
“Well, you humans still have an advantage,” the Fairy Queen chuckled. “Your race reproduces like rabbits. Even if your fighting force is wiped out, it would only take you two decades to replace them.” Read Web Novels Online Free – NovelFire Novel Fire – novelfire.net
“Then why don’t you Fairies reproduce like rabbits too?” King Austen smirked. “Nothing is stopping you, you know?”
“Heh~ spoken like a true monkey,” the Fairy Queen sneered.
Ethan, who already knew that Fairies tend to be mischievous, could only sigh in his heart after hearing this exchange.
“I suggest that all of us set aside our personal quarrels for the time being and come up with a plan on how we can assist each other when we are in need. If ever an invasion truly comes to pass, the possible landing sites of their forces are Southshire, Eastshire, and Westshire.
“Northshire would be the last place they’d visit since the Khaled Bor Mountains is an unforgiving place. With that said, only the Dwarves will be able to turn the tides of battle if all three territories are attacked at once.”
The Dwarven King nodded because this was indeed the case.
The Beastkins were a powerful race, but they alone wouldn’t be able to withstand the bulk of the army of either the Fomorians or the Milesians.
All the leaders and their representatives discussed the countermeasures that would be needed to tackle such a threat.
Ethan remained seated and listened to their discussion without saying anything.
His role had already ended after he finished sharing the information that he gathered from the Fomorians.
It was his first time attending a War Conference, so he made sure to pay close attention to the discussion between the most powerful men and women in the realm.
The meeting ended three hours later, but everyone agreed that they still had many things to talk about.
Ethan was no longer needed for the succeeding meetings, so he decided to rest back in his room because he was exhausted.
‘You only have three months before this school year ends, Ethan,’ Sebastian commented. ‘Will you head to Midgard right away after returning to your grandparent’s house?’“If you want an honest answer, I still haven’t thought about it properly,” Ethan replied. “I wanted to bring Lily, Luna, Lilian, and Emma to see my grandparents and introduce them properly as my fiances.
“We’ll stay there for two to three weeks with Grandma and Grandpa before I head to Midgard with Emma.”
Ethan’s Other Half nodded. ‘The journey will be long, and the return trip may even be longer. It’s also possible that you will arrive just before the next school year starts.’
“It will take that long to finish my coming-of-age trial?” Ethan asked in confusion.
‘No,’ Ethan’s Other Half answered. ‘It will take that long for you to better understand just who you really are and the responsibilities that you will carry after finding out your true background.’
Ethan’s Other Half then chuckled. ‘Just prepare yourself, Ethan. The truth is sometimes bigger than life itself.’
The young man didn’t know if his Other Half was just trying to sound smug or not. But for some reason, a part of him was really looking forward to discovering the secrets that had been hidden from him since he was born in the world.
Perhaps, he would also come to learn the reason why his mother had been left with no choice but to abandon him, letting him live as a normal boy in the countryside.
He had so many questions, but his Other Half’s words made him ponder what he meant when he said that the truth was sometimes bigger than life itself.
‘It’s no use to think about it now,’ Ethan thought. ‘I will find my answers in Midgard.’
After determining his short term goal, Ethan closed his eyes and fell asleep soon after.
A moment later, Lilith appeared beside him and hugged him on the bed.
Soon, she also fell asleep and dreamed a happy dream where she was able to walk under the sun in her true form while holding her Master’s hand.
