Chapter 1625
I was only working off a few mural mosaics etched in tiles on a wall. It was hard to say that every conclusion I came to was the absolute truth. The more I learned about this world, the more I could guess, but in the end, it all was a guess.
“This gauntlet… it’s not just there to pass on a champion’s award, is it?” I asked quietly.
“It is not.” Calypso sighed.
“It was there to block off and imprison the human dungeon.” I finished.
In the same way that the deep dwarf king had created a dungeon to restrain Twilight, the Fey had created a dungeon to block the human dungeon. Intrinsically, Fey hated dungeons. Dungeons were a corruption of Gaia, and it stood against everything they cared about. It never made sense that the Fey would turn around and create some dungeon to pass on some champion’s gift. However, that wasn’t the original reason the dungeon came to be.
“At the time, their goal was to stop the humans from growing. They had already settled the untamed parts to the south, and with their tendency to resurrect and tensions growing on the border, the Fey feared that one day they would fall to the humans.” Calypso explained.
“They made the first strike?”
“It’s hard to say. This all didn’t happen at once. It was countless wars, scattered across countless centuries. It only escalated more and more. Sometimes, they were at peace. Sometimes, they were at war.”
