81.6 – Gakai & Thron & Sozana!

—————————

PART 1 – Gakai Verona!

—————————

Gakai Verona, Skarla's 6th wife, a pure-blooded Orc, born and raised in the Krugar Mountains, Stone'Fang Tribe.

Her father disappeared when she was young, leaving her with her mother who died shortly afterwards. Gakai was taken in and raised by her uncle's family, where in the brutal society in which the orcs lived, it mattered little.

Her uncle was the Chief of the Tribe, but she was only the daughter of someone who had abandoned the tribe. She had to fight to have the same position as others, but like anyone else, she wasn't born strong, she had to become so.

But during the process of becoming one of the talented and strong warriors, she gained many physical and emotional scars, which hardened her will and made her more brutal and resistant to anything the world threw at her.

Gakai was gradually getting older, still weak, but surviving. Her father returned, extremely powerful, and took the throne of the tribe. She went from someone at the bottom to the top, the princess of the Stone'Fang.

Her father took her to train, started a war, dominated all the orc tribes, then subdued all the other tribes of the other races, becoming the supreme ruler of the Krugar Mountains.

She gained fame and renown, becoming the most beautiful and coveted orc in the mountains. Powerful warriors wanted her as the mother of their children, but Gakai refused, she didn't want old men as the fathers of her future children, nor was she interested in the weak.

She was the strongest in her age group. This meant that she didn't have partners to match, and she became older and childless. Makaulu didn't seem to mind the fact that he had no grandchildren, but he was busier increasing the number of orc half-breeds and developing a larger army.

His daughter focused on getting stronger rather than having children, which meant an even stronger and more reliable general to lead her troops to overthrow the empire that has plagued their land for centuries.

One day she was attending to the training of young soldiers, looking for talent to place in her troop. In the process, she kept hearing the name Skarla. At first she ignored it, until she was told that she had single-handedly killed a Boardogge, was stronger than most male orcs and... had a bigger dick than orcs, all in her teens.

Curious, she learned more and the next day marched to the Vulture Tribe, wanting to meet Skarla, perhaps she had found the one she wanted, the future mother of her children. She is younger than her, but being so strong shows that she is very talented and will be able to match or surpass her when she reaches her level.

She's willing to invest in her partner, but she has to like him first. So he wanted to take Skarla to bed, fuck her and see how good she was in bed, then see if she was worth investing in.

But when he arrived, he learned that she had gone hunting with her cousin and his wife. She wanted to know where they went, she'd intercept and ignore some bullshit about a skill you get from killing a Boardogge with a few people, it was obvious bullshit, she herself had killed Boardogge's alone several times and gained nothing.

In the process, she learned that Ilyria, the Tribe Chief, had disappeared. Gakai learned that Ilyria was the mother of the children she had heard the story about from Skarla.

Going to her house and investigating, she noticed the lack of care and stock of winter food. This means that either she was confident of getting enough in winter, which is foolish, or she didn't bother to restock, knowing something.

Gakai was smart, with Skarla and Talya's lies, followed by Ilyria's disappearance, investigating further, she understood. - “They're not hunting, they're fleeing!”

With that, she didn't hesitate to send out hunting parties to track them down and capture them. She sent messengers to all the exits, she wants Skarla. If she has the courage to flee, it means she has some confidence in her power, even at such a young age, to face those much older and stronger.

She chased Skarla and company, found traces, or so she thought, being tricked several times, which not only frustrated her, but also increased her interest in Skarla. Then came the passage that Ilyria knew, if they were to escape, it would be this way. This was indeed the case. The problem was that she had underestimated their tenacity and sagacity. She found tracks indicating that they had gone up the mountain through a very steep area.

She went out, searched, found tracks. She then headed for the nearby town, contacting those who live there, informing them about the runaways and that she would pay a huge reward, so huge that she made the mayor send troops to the nearby villages, hoping that something or someone had seen them.

In the end, weeks passed and nothing was discovered. Gakai had to give it up, as she was becoming too obsessed, but she didn't give up. Building up her strength, she waited, knowing that she would find Skarla one day, her instincts told her so.

The following years were peaceful. The number of warriors was increasing, conflicts with the North allowed for levels and training grounds, while they prepared for a huge invasion.

With each passing day, the thirst for battle became more intense, young warriors thirsting for blood, aiming it all at the empire.

She patiently endured for years, determined to find Skarla, doubting that she wouldn't make a name for herself. She is the closest she has found to her definitive partner, she would not give up, no matter how long it took.

Then the day came and the invasion of the barbarians from the north began. Along with this an incident occurred, one of the mountain walls collapsed, creating a bumpy passage, but possible for an army to descend easily, but difficult to climb.

What caused it didn't matter, it was opportunity and with a fortress rising, they took advantage of it when it wasn't there to attack.

The fortress was conquered and the northerners were wreaking havoc all along the coast of the continent, many running towards them, the aim being to cause chaos deep in the Empire, make them bleed and flee to the mountains for a safe base, settle down and begin the conquest.

Everything was going perfectly, but the fortress Gakai was guarding was attacked by a single person, she was humiliated, but she had never felt such joy before, she finally found her, she only had to look at her once to know it was her.

Gakai fought back, but her power was no different from that of an ant in Skarla's eyes. But that didn't shake Gakai, but seeing her subordinates dying did affect her, even though she was treated like dirt at first, now she is respected and followed out of respect and admiration.

She submitted, she would have done it anyway, she wanted Skarla, she wanted to become hers and turning her back on her father, who once did the same to her and her mother, she joined Skarla and told her everything she needed.

Of course, there were many problems, some brutal scenes that made her shudder and realize that Skarla is a monster. It was the first time Gakai had felt fear in her life. Even when she fought with her father, trained with him or saw him angry, she had never felt anything like it.

More than fear, it was terror. For the first time, she was in doubt about her choices, but she pretended, endured and showed that she could be his wife, that she was willing to do anything, at one point she was desperate for it, fearful that she might be discarded or have a fate worse than death, like the Red Orcs.

Gakai was guided by fear and the instinct to survive. Then Skarla took her, for the day it was fear, but the pleasure came and calmed her, it was everything she had dreamed of, the fear and terror had subsided.

Gakai convinced herself that she was no longer her enemy, so she no longer had any reason to hurt her. Skarla made her stronger, taught her more about the empire, the complexity of people living in a more modern place.

Her life changed constantly. She remained defiant and stubborn, thinking she could go against anyone except Skarla. But then she met Letiphia, she was famous even when she was commanding troops or as a child, the stories of the Witch of the Empire.

She figured that if she couldn't be first, she'd be second... Viper took her down, followed by Ilyria, Talya and even Calah, who was only an alchemist, which in her eyes was a Shaman who only knew how to make medicines.

Gakai found herself defeated, humiliated, but she didn't give up. She grew stronger and demonstrated her potential, gradually rising up the ranks. Her pride and confidence swelled and one day she annoyed Letiphia so much that she captured her and decided to educate her.

Letiphia was having several outbursts due to pregnancy hormones and didn't help Gakai by causing trouble, insulting her at home and talking about her unborn daughter.

Gakai was imprisoned and tortured with pleasure, humiliating days followed, with her resisting whenever she could, showing no weakness, she wouldn't give in to anyone but Skarla.

Time passed, but she had no concept of it, she didn't know how many hours, days, weeks or months had passed. Letiphia continued to torture her, she just preserved her energy for the moment when she would take her revenge, no matter how many orgasms she was given, how many strange things were used on her body, she would fight and kill Letiphia.

Then a male voice came, Gakai's heart shuddered, her mind was a mess, she was on the verge of breaking and this “man” was just the trigger for her to fall apart.

“He” entered her, she didn't even notice the familiar shape, she was just blinded by fury, humiliation and sadness. She hated that she was feeling pleasure, she was cursing Letiphia for allowing such a bastard near her, knowing that she did it to sully her body.

Gakai was broken and determined to kill Letiphia, she would destroy her and she didn't care about the child in her womb.

Then “he” was foolish enough to let go of her, that's when Gakai began to attack desperately, her fury exploding, she used all her power, veins popping, exerting all the strength she had ever gathered in her life, she would kill this bastard and run to kill Letiphia.

Tears flowed from her eyes down her angry face, clarity came, it was Skarla. Her mind was a whirlwind at that moment, she was laughing at her misfortune, at the humiliation she had suffered, it was all in good fun for her.

Something broke in Gakai that day, she latched onto Skarla, bit her, scratched her and howled that she wanted her son. She tormented Skarla, she didn't do anything with Letiphia, she couldn't do anything at that moment, so she would wait.

No one noticed, but Gakai's changes, which seemed to be just her adapting to the situation, were bigger than they thought. Letiphia fragmented her and Skarla's prank broke her.

Thron was born, her first child. She loved him, it was instinctive, she would protect him, she would not allow him to suffer what she had suffered in the past, or to be Letiphia and Skarla's plaything.

In Gakai's eyes, Letiphia and Skarla were monsters, Viper fit in too, she didn't help him, even though Gakai blamed herself for being weak and unable to protect herself, but that was no longer the case. She would never allow anything or anyone, including Skarla, to play with her son.

Gakai was hurt, she didn't feel important. She was just another one of Skarla's wives, one she took on a whim and didn't care what happened to her.

That's why Gakai worked harder than ever. He grew stronger and whenever he could, he would take Skarla to a corner and fuck her with all his intensity. For Gakai, Skarla was still an inexhaustible source of pleasure, as well as the one who would bear him many children.

Gakai is hurt, but she has goals and something to protect. Skarla is someone she will use for that.

She joined the army, achieved high ranks and proved herself in combat, keeping everything under control, annihilating Krugar's enemies, while raising her children, teaching them about the cruelty of the world and that they must not let anyone trample on them, including her own family.

(Author: I think it's pretty obvious before and now, but what Letiphia did was torture and rape, Skarla was either unaware of this fact or simply didn't care thinking that because it was a world of sex there would be no consequences. Well, she was wrong).

(There are many layers here, I wonder how many will find out what they are.)

...

Gakai is the highest authority in the army, not simply because she is Skarla's wife, but because of her merits and genius. Pain transforms, as does hatred. Gakai began to trust herself more and more, and together with Skarla, they developed a great military hierarchy.

These are the soldiers who make up the base of the army: Private → Private → Corporal → Sergeant → Sergeant Major.

Officers who lead platoons, squads and companies: Lieutenant → Captain → Major → Lieutenant Colonel.

Higher ranks who plan campaigns or command entire armies: Colonel → Brigadier General → Divisional General → General → Marshal.

Before the current system of hierarchy was implemented, along with the dress code, army morale and discipline, there was a vote by the former top echelon of the armed forces, accompanied by various authorities from the Ministry of Defense.

First was the division of the Ministry of Defense, where internally it was divided into Civil and Military sectors, where one deals mainly with police and the other with military personnel. Of course there is the Defense Minister, who technically has authority over the leaders of each sector, but you could say that he is more of an intermediary in the political sector of the nation.

Gakai could have applied for this position, but she refused, she wanted to be on the front line, so she applied for the military sector. Then came the vote of the top leaders, Aaron was even among them, he even had plans to follow in the military sector, it was something he wanted, but when Gakai applied, he backed down and went to the Civil Sector.

Gakai is Skarla's wife, everyone wants to lick her ass, it's obvious who they're going to vote for. Even though there were others vying with Gakai for the only Marshal position available, she still won with over 60% of the vote.

With that, she began to structure her main officers, as well as integrating her rivals into the race under her command. Gakai received help from Viper and Letiphia, even though she disliked both of them, especially Letiphia, she didn't let her pride and enmity get in the way of her goals. The help was to get more information about her allies, who to keep by her side and who to keep away. Even the Minister of Defense was someone she supported to be in that position.

Skarla didn't like the fact that her wives were too involved in state affairs, as she has plans to give up the position in the future and start the elections for President. But if Gakai wants that, Skarla didn't interfere. Gakai didn't care whether Skarla liked it or not.

Time passed, his military power grew. Gakai matured in her position and with the authority to literally start wars, she began to expand Krugar's territory to the north.

On the surface it was a passive conquest, the people agreed to this assimilation, several Kings and Lords of the North submitted. But there were those who refused to cede power, those who decided to ally themselves with forces from the Empire and other nations to resist Krugar.

Naturally, the help they gave was useless. The Empire was at war with Torwin and Torwin was defending himself tooth and nail against the Empire. Jarletia, Melamia, Sodoha or Yggdrasil, the 4 nations that are not at war and that several northern lords went to ask for support, helped after great rewards, but needless to say all the help was purged.

Gakai showed no mercy; with the exception of a few nobles, they were captured and after their nations paid a rich reward, they were returned safely. Yggdrasil naturally didn't support them, not least because Queen Grisaliel was one of Skarla's wives.

Sodoha is a Vassal Country of the Empire, so its resources and support are going exclusively to Zenirys, so there was little support for the North.

Melamia on the other hand was not in any significant conflict, so they were able to send a lot of support, as well as being clever and greedy, going to Skarla to negotiate support, in exchange for all kinds of resources and so on.

As Skarla couldn't move due to self-imposed limitations, it was an opportunity for the North to hold out for so long. But Skarla refused and Gakai took care of everything.

Jarletia naturally only acted as a merchant, giving resources or even lending money, but receiving all kinds of guarantees. They didn't send any troops, but gave some tips on where to get mercenaries.

Of course, the mere thought of mercenary groups going against Krugar was absurd and most refused. As a result, Gakai swept away any King or Lord of the North who resisted expansion.

Viper and Letiphia again helped, as did Shunam. All three had enormous skills and helped to control the rumours, exposing the Rebel Rulers of the North as the real culprits in the civilization and conquest of the north.

Krugar was investing in the North, improving the lives of the people, ending hunger and misery, providing various jobs, helping to exploit the North's resources, its advantages so that they could become rich.

Naturally, this investment had to be paid for. All the Lords and Kings nearby accepted, King Edric Wholfe was the first to do so and several others followed.

Trade, land deals and so on followed, but many Lords and Kings didn't know how to properly manage their land, trade and as a result, the time to pay off debts passed and interest began to rise. They were given several opportunities, but because of their incompetence, they failed to pay off their debts.

In the end, assimilation came. Those territories that were unable to maintain themselves or pay off their debts, when faced with the possibility of losing Krugar's support and being left with an even bigger debt on their backs, were offered by Gakai to surrender peacefully, to be integrated into Krugar, where their debts would be paid, they could still govern, but they would have to integrate into the laws.

Most accepted, those who didn't were the most radical. Not only did they attack Krugar caravans and trucks, they sent armies into nearby territories.

These people loved the benefits, but didn't want to pay for them, so they decided to return to savagery, gave reasons and Gakai dealt with them, forcing their leaders to sign the agreements, but they were different, their lands were divided and integrated into nearby territories.

The result was quite intriguing. With the aim of conquering the North, they naturally had to infiltrate many spies, as well as manipulate the weakest and greediest, showing them what they could get, even if they were no longer rulers.

But naturally many joined in to resist Krugar's advances, many who refused their investments and trade, but some close to them accepted and were prospering, resulting in many of their people fleeing, which infuriated them.

So they isolated the North into several regions, paving roads and sending soldiers to patrol them with the excuse of ensuring peaceful transportation, since many barbaric Northerners were stealing the cargo.

With several territories being isolated, the active conquest began, where suddenly some alliances began to have internal conflicts, as some of their members submitted to Krugar, which put them under protection and suddenly the alliances attacked those allied to Krugar.

The result? They gave Krugar reason to strike back, or more precisely, reason for Gakai to exterminate them.

Krugar had the justification, they were retaliating for the attacks on their territories, which were started by the savages. They weren't the ones who started it, even if they were the ones who did. The same thing happened in dozens of territories. In 15 years, 1/3 of the North had been conquered, it was divided, but joining forces and retaliating against Krugar.

No major wars broke out; Gakai was careful about that. Limiting itself to justified conflicts, with less than 4,000 troops involved, adding up both sides.

The aim is to conquer and integrate its people into Krugar, not to annihilate the North and suffer losses due to a lack of manpower in the reconstruction and evolution of the North.

In those 15 years, not only have the lives of the people of the North improved dramatically, the birth rate has increased, the death rate has decreased, individuals called Doctors and Surgeons, administered by the Ministry of Health.

Life in this part of the North improved dramatically, the propaganda they were putting out helped a lot and as a result, the number of people fleeing the Old North was enormous, every year tens of thousands manage to escape and if it continues like this, in another 15~20 years, their enemies will have no people, so they are executing or enslaving those who flee to Krugar.

It's almost like South and North Korea. Only much more aggressive and without modern weapons. Not to mention that the “North” has many leaders, they can't get together and it's only a matter of time.

......

Thron was his first child. A child who was born strong, being the son of Skarla and having the blood of a pure Orc, an Orc who through Cultivation became much stronger. As it turned out, Cultivation was never made for an Orc's body, or designed for it, but when practiced, it had many immense benefits. That's why it took a while for Gakai to reach her 1st Metamorphosis, but when she did, the results were drastic.

She grew about 10 centimeters, her bone and muscle structure became denser and more compacted, but she still retained her usual imposing figure. She developed various passive skills and special talents.

Thron was unfortunately born before Gakai achieved all this, strengthening his genes, purifying his body. But it wasn't the same for Sozana Verona, his second daughter. Gakai wanted more children, but Skarla limited this, the reason only she knows and she hasn't explained it to anyone.

Sozana was born with Gakai reaching the 1st Metamorphosis. When she was born, an event occurred, which Skarla was both frightened and happy about, saying that Sozana had been born with a Unique Constitution, similar to Tifariel, but she couldn't say what it was.

Thron was her proud, strong, big and handsome son. Full of talent and following in his footsteps. But Sozana was different, a rough gem, where Gakai was sure she would outshine all her siblings, because she had something that not even Skarla had, which is why she did what she did, only to regret it bitterly later.

—————————

PART 2 – Thron Verona!

—————————

Thron Verona, Skarla's 2nd male child, Gakai's first child.

Thron was Skarla's first mixed-race son, but that didn't matter, no one would dare treat him with prejudice because of his lineage, no one is crazy enough to do that, with the exception of a certain idiot from another continent who dared to do that in front of Skarla, who didn't live a minute after uttering such words.

Possessing Orc blood, Thron was a very lively and troublesome child, but his Gakai mother knew where to direct all this energy, taking him to disputes with other Orc children, something common for their culture.

There, from the age of three, Thron learned to fight, something he was passionate about, nothing strange coming from someone with Orc lineage.

And by law, no matter whose son you were, if you were there, you fought until you lost, giving up was a sign of shame. It turned out that even when facing older, smarter children, Thron didn't lose - he was Skarla's son.

Naturally, as he got older, the fights became more serious and dangerous. He saw Skarla and Gakai argue a lot about his participation in the fights, but it was something he enjoyed and even though his body was gaining scars, which he refused to remove, he would continue.

In the end, Skarla stayed away but promised Gakai that if anything happened to Thron, she would be blamed.

Thron didn't understand the worries, he had heard many stories about his mothers, about Skarla defeating Legends, facing Demons and terrible monsters. She is the strongest, no one can go against her, even Gakai who is absurdly powerful is no match.

So he is unable to understand this excessive concern, he is her son, destined to be strong and he is strong.

When his little sister Sozana was born, Thron was too young to understand the changes taking place around him. But the changes that took place were subtle to the point where he liked Skarla more than Gakai.

At first it was Gakai's attitude that changed. She loved her son and that was indisputable, she trained him, gave him presents on his birthdays, always giving him the best, took him hunting, helped him with various things.

Gakai was present and always there for him. But his favoritism for Sozana was obvious.

If Thron made a mistake, Gakai would punish him, but if Sozana made the same mistake, it would be ignored and just a few words to be more careful.

While Thron's upbringing was with love and severity, Sozana received a light hand over his education.

It was only later that Thron understood this better, Gakai had his favorite and it affected him. He noticed it from an early age, but it wasn't until he was older that he understood.

Skarla, on the other hand, had many children and more would come as time went on. But even though she had so many children, giving Lohan a lot of care because of his situation, she never openly showed any favoritism.

Skarla personally took Thron on his first hunt; Gakai was supposed to do it, but she asked her to. Thron loved his time alone, the care, tenderness and trust.

He soon understood his mother Skarla's love. She didn't show her feelings, but she was there, looking out for everyone and everything. Thron understood how great her love was when an envoy from another nation came to Krugar.

Skarla had called him, saying that they would meet Orcs and that potentially from this interaction, he could find his future partner. She wouldn't negotiate with him as she did with Lohan, she just said that it was better for him to start by interacting with his equals and Thron was interested.

But who would have thought that among Orcs and Humans, his first contact with the prejudice his Gakai mother had warned him about would come from Orcs. Until then, everyone he had interacted with had recognized him for his strength and talent, respected him for his mother, but also because he was a very talented young man.

But the envoy from another continent, from a Kingdom of Orcs who have powerful Legends protecting them, looked at him with contempt, without even knowing him and even knowing whose son he was.

Even though he didn't say it at first, his gaze was obvious and instinctive, to the point that it took him a while to disguise it, and those who came with him were even more obvious about it.

Thron felt shaken, furious and humiliated. But he held it together, even though he was a proud man, he had been brought up to be patient, Gakai had taught him to be patient and observant, and he put up with the humiliation he felt because he knew he couldn't jeopardize the negotiations.

They are a powerful nation, they have the resources that Skarla needs.

“What are those eyes?” - But while he remained calm, hiding his fury, Skarla was different and the screams of pain were imprinted on his mind.

Thron watched in shock as the eyes of dozens of Orcs exploded. The leader of the entourage roared. - “WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?”

“I invite you to my home, provide you with the best vehicles, the best food and drink money can afford, the best lodging and company of beautiful men and women to choose from. I opened my heart to you, I welcomed you into my home!” - Skarla's fury made the whole room shake.

“I present my beloved son to you and you dare to look at him with disgust and contempt? You dare to mock and laugh at him, RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME?!” - The windows exploded and the floor, walls and ceiling cracked.

Skarla was clutching the envoy's neck. - “Any and all support that Krugar is currently making available to your nation will be cut off, I want no further contact with you!”

Skarla threw him out like trash and hissed, hooded figures fell to their knees. - “Diamond, help Thron guide them to the port, all of them, I don't want this garbage in Krugar by nightfall!”

“Understood!”

She looked at Thron. - “Escort them out of here, I leave all matters in your hands, you can reverse my decision if you like. But if I try to forgive them because of the profits, don't bother, the profits they can give us are minimal, the insult to you, even if they gave everything away for free, wouldn't make up for my anger. But the responsibility and decisions are yours, I trust you my son.” - That's all he said before leaving.

It was on that day that Thron understood what it meant to be Skarla's son. He understood that no matter how much money she loses, if you insult any of her children, no matter how small the offense, that will be the result.

Skarla's love is unconditional, it's not about money, fame or power, she doesn't care about those things, because she can get as much as she wants. What's important is love. Gakai, on the other hand, is greedy and objective.

...

Slap*

“How could you agree to this?! We could have gotten powerful soldiers, you could have married a Princess and strengthened our connections! How can you expel them, while having the authority to forgive them?” - Gakai was enraged.

“Mother! They insulted me, despised me and treated me like dirt!” - Thron shouted, the first time he had ever spoken back to his mother.

“Words are just words! Actions are what matter! You could have won their respect and fear by showing who you are, but instead you let your emotions take over and ended strong connections we could have had, ways to make our kind more influential!” - Gakai roared angrily at being answered by her son, her hand moving forward, Thron closed his eyes.

Slap*

But the pain he expected didn't come. When he looked up, he saw Skarla in a rage. - “Our son, the child who came from your womb, has been scorned and humiliated in front of me. Instead of being proud of your son for keeping his pride intact, you berate and assault him for doing the right thing? For what, greater influence and authority for the orcs? What good does that do? Do you think you'll continue to lead all the Orcs forever?”

Gakai's face was red, his eyes wide as he listened.

“I don't care what you have in mind, I trust you because I love you and you are the mother of my children. But listen well Gakai!” - Skarla grabbed her neck and exhaled power, Gakai resisted, but Skarla suppressed her with ease, showing the massive disparity between them. - “I don't care if you continue to affront me, or what kind of enmity has arisen between us, or why, I'm sorry if I ever hurt you, but listen well. NEVER! EVER! UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES! STAND AGAINST YOUR FAMILY!” - Skarla's roar was more powerful and fearsome than a lion's, and Gakai was thrown to the ground.

“Fuck your race, fame, power, money, ALL THAT SHIT!” - Skarla roared, waving her hand. - “Someone stronger could come and take everything from you! You can lose it all for false accusations or lies! BUT NEVER! NEVER AGAIN DARE RAISE YOUR HAND TO MY SON! NEVER AGAIN DARE STAND AGAINST YOUR FAMILY, THE BLOOD OF YOUR BLOOD!”

Gakai had his head down, biting his lips, Thron watching everything, unable to speak.

Skarla turned and looked at him, the anger gone, only a gentle, loving smile remaining. A large hand resting on his head, giving him warmth, making him understand how precious he is. - “I love you son, you've done well and I'm proud.” - That was all he needed to hear, he hugged Skarla who smilingly returned the tight embrace.

After today, his relationship with Gakai got a lot worse. He still loved his mother, accompanied her on military campaigns and continued to grow up, but he used Skarla as the main model for his life, he wanted to be like Skarla. This thought took hold a few weeks after what happened between their mothers. Something happened to Sozana.

Years later, Thron was 15 and a tall, handsome adult, over 2 meters tall, with blue eyes, dark hair and light green skin. During his childhood he had acquired a scar over his left eye, as well as on his lips.

A charming and imposing half-Orc, he uses axes as his main weapons.

—————————

PART 3 – Sozana Verona!

—————————

Sozana Verona, Skarla's 5th Daughter, Gakai's second child.

Sozana is Skarla's second mixed-race child. At her birth, a mysterious and hard-to-explain phenomenon occurred. The world welcomed her and her entire environment suffered severe damage, the doctors working on her delivery were injured and some nurses almost died.

What happened to her was a huge mystery, but Skarla confirmed that like Tifariel, Grisaliel's daughter, she was born with a unique constitution. Something that few are born with and they are all immensely talented.

Tifariel was born with a constitution that she herself named “Frozen Body”. With this constitution, Tifariel takes no damage from ice, even spells fired at her are only 75% effective.

If the spell fired is weak to a certain extent, instead of hurting her, it will be like a healing spell. Her body absorbs the Ice Element to heal itself. She is extremely powerful and is currently living in the North, learning to control more of her power, which is very dangerous.

When Gakai heard that Sozana was born with something like this, she was extremely happy, boasting and even rubbing it in Letiphia's face that Sozana would be the strongest. The problem was that just having a special constitution didn't make her the strongest.

Letiphia didn't feel jealous, as she only rubbed Belisandre's achievements in her face, especially as Belisandre became very close to Gakai who accepted and trained her, she got to see first-hand how impressive Skarla and Letiphia's giant daughter was.

In comparison, Thron was below her level, even though their strengths would later equalize to some extent. Gakai worked hard for Thron to reach Level 11 before Belisandre and he has the advantage.

In any case. Sozana was born with something they don't know about. It wasn't a Special or Unique Ability, nor did it show in her Talents. The only reason it manifested at her birth is very simple: she is the daughter of Skarla and Gakai, both of whom achieved their 1st Metamorphosis.

The Special Constitution only manifests at birth when certain requirements are met, otherwise only when an expert inspects the body would they discover it.

Skarla discovered something in Sozana's bones, muscles and organs, something that guaranteed her power.

So the years passed.

Sozana was pampered, but also trained rigorously. Gakai saw her as a jewel that needed to be polished. For Thron, Gakai had Sozana as his favorite, pampering her a lot and casting him aside several times, but that wasn't the reality.

Sozana was in fact Gakai's favorite. The problem was that his favoritism was detrimental to the young woman. She wanted so much to make her reach her full potential that she was destroying Sozana.

She trained to failure, received all kinds of medication from an early age, where her Special Constitution was already manifested, easily absorbing all kinds of elixirs and pills to grow her Internal Energy, it turns out that she could handle several times more energy, as this meant power, so as soon as she turned 6, she was being fed practically every day, her body could take it, but there were limits.

Gakai was a good mother, she loved her children, but she was obsessed with something, which made her the worst mother possible.

Thron was too selfish to notice what was happening to Sozana. As for Sozana, she cried at night, even though Gakai spoiled her rotten, giving her all sorts of presents and delicious things, she would make up for this love with suffering later on.

In comparison, there was Skarla. She was always there, even though she was often away for months at a time, when she returned she would hug all her sons and daughters, bringing them presents and taking them flying around to see various places.

While Gakai pushed her to the limits, Skarla didn't force her to do anything, she didn't hurt her, she just brought her joy, sometimes she would scold her if she made mistakes, but she was there for her.

When she was 8 years old, close to her 9th birthday. Sozana became very ill after consuming more than she should have. Gakai thought that because she was older and stronger, she would be able to cope, but that wasn't the case, she vomited and became ill, having a Qi Deviation.

Skarla sensed this and came to in an instant, the last things Sozana saw before her mind blacked out was the worry on Skarla's face, followed by an explosive rage directed at Gakai.

Sozana was comatose.

Gakai was confused, regretful. Skarla was enraged, to the point of losing control and punching Gakai in the face, making her bleed, but she didn't fight back or complain.

Thron was there, watching everything, next to his sister, not realizing what his mother was doing to her. He watched the fierce, one-sided argument.

After that, Gakai was put in prison, where she would only be released when Sozana woke up. If she remained in a coma for a year, Gakai would spend a year in prison.

Sozana woke up 2 months later. Many thought she wouldn't wake up, Skarla wasn't around, but Thron stayed by Sozana's side, reading the books she liked.

Thron had never been very close to Sozana, he loved his sister and was there, but he felt jealous that she didn't have to do anything to have Gakai's pride and affection. Now he understood.

Thron visited Gakai, talking about Sozana, what he had read to her. He told her about his training and showed her, wanting her tips. Gakai was crestfallen, but she was still his mother, she loved him and even with resentment towards him, she still taught him what she knew.

Gakai regretted it, realizing how foolish she had been.

2 months later, Skarla didn't come back to visit Gakai or Sozana any of those times. She was away from Krugar, no one knew where she was or what she was doing.

All that is known is that one day she returned after 2 months, sat next to Sozana, listening to Thron shouting angrily at her because she had disappeared for 2 months when Sozana needed her most.

Then Sozana woke up as if by magic. Gakai was freed and she ran into the room, falling to her knees, hugging Sozana and begging for forgiveness.

Thron, seeing all this, knew. Skarla didn't leave to sort out other things she considered more important, there was nothing more important to her than her family. She went to find a way to treat Sozana and spent two months doing so.

...

After the incident, Skarla personally took care of Sozana's training, just as she let Thron supervise when Gakai trained her. Gakai lost the trust of her family, she knew it, she did her best to improve.

Her relationship with her children changed, she no longer charged them and showed that she was sorry, but her actions towards Skarla didn't change. Thron or Sozana didn't understand why Gakai treated Skarla like that, they asked, but she never answered.

Years passed, Sozana was 10 years old. She still had the after-effects of the Qi Deviation. Even with a Special Constitution, having a Qi Deviation is extremely damaging and can cause permanent damage or death.

Skarla was the type to warn about this. She took extreme care, carefully teaching her wives, her disciples and her children. Placing limitations, but Gakai ignored them and this resulted.

The one who was until then recognized as the most talented child, had her talent undermined by her ambitious mother. This naturally led to resentment. Gakai could see the resentment on her children's faces, it hurt her, but she knew she deserved it.

Sozana was young and easily forgiven, but Thron was observant and attentive, he loves his mothers, but knowing what Gakai is capable of, he won't allow her to hurt Sozana again.

In this way, Sozana received a lot of love, affection and attention over the last three years, until she reached the age of 12. Her relationship with Thron became closer, Gakai no longer pushed her to her limits and she healed until she no longer had any remnants of the Qi Deviation.

She was strong, talented and could achieve much more. Unfortunately the Qi Deviation slowed her progress, or she would probably have reached 1st Metamorphosis by now, or would be at higher levels.

At the moment she is only Level 0, has only 3 talents, her health is not the best compared to her brothers and sisters, but she is about to reach Metamorphosis and when she does, she will recover what Gakai made her lose.

Special Note!

—————————

I have plans to work a lot with Gakai, Thron and Sozana. Gakai especially, her relationship with Skarla and so on, I want to use her to put more sense into Skarla's mind about the people in this world and that... this world is not a game.

Regardless of how great or old Skarla is, she was like a robot in her past lives, taking everything as logical, only in this 3rd life has she recovered her feelings, repented and has been improving.

But it doesn't change the fact that in her mind, she sees it all as a kind of game, even though she wasn't a video game nerd in her first life.

Skarla has had many reality shocks, the loss of her son, other factors that have occurred outside the scene. But the most dramatic was the loss of Calah's son, but it was a leg, not a sense of the cruel reality of this world, or the sins she had committed.

Gakai naturally has a sense of Skarla's past lives, and that's what makes it so intense. If she lived so many lives, was such a genius, then she must have been aware of what she did to her and yet she doesn't show any regrets, or as if it were anything relevant.

In other words, a huge misunderstanding, accompanied by Skarla being an idiot who treats this world like a playground. She's absurdly strong, nothing and no one is a real challenge in this world. The demigods are practically administrators of a game who can't do anything about it, even if they blame her for using a hack, she doesn't, so there's no reason to ban her from the game.

The system is the same, the world is the same. Everything is very convenient for her. I knew it would be like this when I developed the world. I knew it would be complicated to work on Skarla's psyche, her notion of the world and her future path, giving her so many absurd and illogical advantages for the universe.

As a final result, to give the character growth, her emotions, family, mistakes and misdeeds will be necessary to make her grow. Gakai will be just one of the main points.

As for the possibility of Gakai forgiving her? I'm going to say that resentment is running high. Let's say her Favorability has levels from 0 to 10, where it can also reach -10.

Gakai has -6 Favorability with Skarla, his other wives have 5~8 Favorability, and one of them (I won't say which one) has 10 Favorability. The sons and daughters range from 4~6, some having more, but none below 4. Skarla is a great mother.

Well, that's it. Tell me what you think about Gakai's development. I'm curious what you have to say about her.
