The Dark Lady Felicia had emerged and conquered the Western Continent and was now setting her eyes to the Eastern Continent. There were only two options for the inhabitants, surrender or death.
The races included the dreaded Minotaur. Minotaurs were vile part human and part bull creatures that lived for war, and were always fighting for supremacy. They were a constant problem for the other races, one would think they would join with the Dark Lady but it was them who called an alliance in order to counter the Dark Lady, ironic.
After weeks of talk the races raise their goblets to drink. "A toast to the East Alliance."
The evening had come and then all looked up in the sky and saw the battle between the Dark Lady and a strange elf called Elena. It lasted for few hours with others coming to aid the elf but they could not stand against the Dark Lady and it seemed over for the elf but then she made a wish and they watched as the Dark Lady disappeared.

A month later
The Minotaur Chief Besduker was walking through the forest on routine patrol. He wonders if peace is really the best decision. A lot of his own considered it. Now that Dark Lady was gone there was no point of the East Alliance. He expressed his opinion to the Counsel of Minotaurs and many shared it but the other side made their own compelling opinion. If the East Alliance united against the Dark Lady surely they could do the same against them. In the end he conceded to their point but still by no means they should be soft and weak in times of peace.
As Minotaur Chief, he had to consider how best to deal with the other races should they declare war on them. There was the Reptilian race, if wasn't for them they would have been conquered the Eastern Lands. The next race was the Neko, cat like humanoids, they weren't the best fighters, cowards but cunning for they could be easily bribed with fish, milk and shiny things and to make matters worse a few of them had recently taken up magic.
A new addition was humans, they came from the Western Land a hundred years ago, they were second to the reptilian in threat level. There were other beings from the West, North and South that seldom ventured east because they were wise enough to not get involved in the eastern wars and the Minotaurs were wise enough not to mess with them as long as they didn't encroach on minotaur territory for the foreigners were formidable in combat. They learned that lesson twenty years ago when they stumbled upon the elves who came to the East on a rescue mission.
As Besduker continues pondering while walking he suddenly hears humming and creeps to a spring where he sees a Fairy bathing. They were the last race, a female only race with pointy ears and butterfly wings which would have made them the overall threat but they didn't believe in violence and their fairy dust was for welfare not warfare, they didn't involve themselves in the constant warring of the land races but were prepared to contribute to the East Alliance because the Dark Lady had a wyvern and rumored teleportation powers. She would find a way to subdued their Fairyland in the sky.
He rests his war hammer on a tree and got a better look at the fairy. The fairy had red hair, he couldn't see her front but she a nice shapely ass, he felt his loins stirring but he shook his head.
She turns around and her golden eyes becomes aware of the Minotaur glaring at her. She instinctively covers her breasts and sinks in the water till only her head was visible. "What are you doing here?!" She demands.
"I believe I'm the one who should be asking you that considering this is my territory!"
"Then you are Besduker the Minotaur chief!"
"Indeed I am. Out of the water now!"
"But you're right there."
"You either come out or I'll come in!"
"Do your worst!" The fairy says and laughs heartily.
Besduker was enraged, he grabs his war hammer and charges into the spring. The fairy has a mischievous smile on her face and once she was in striking range of his war hammer she takes off into the air and laughs at him.
"You think you've won because of your wings well you're about to be grounded!" The fairy continues taunting him. He reaches into his belt and takes out a blue egg and throws it into the air and it explodes.
"Ha! You missed!" Besduker just watched and suddenly her wings halted. "What!" She screams and falls into the water. Besduker swims over and grabs hold of her. "Let me go! Let me go!"
"You should have left when you had the opportunity now you will pay for your insolence!"
He throws her on the land. She tries to take off but couldn't. "What have you done to me?!"
"Your wings have been paralyzed, you can no longer fly!" Her eyes widen in horror and she curls into a ball and begins weeping.
"Tell me who you are and why are you trespassing on my land!"
"My name is Helena and I was just taking a bath."
"That's fairyshit and you know it!"
"Please, we're at peace."
"Peace? Peace! You sneak into my lands and preach peace?! What are you up to?!"
"I uh, uh, um."
"I remember you now, you were at the meeting with the Fairy Godmother, you were eying me the entire time! Why?!"
"No I wasn't."
His war hammer hits the ground next to her. "There are few things in the world I can't stand and one is liars!"
"Ok it's true I was watching you because you were the representative of the Minotaur race. We couldn't believe your people were actually calling for an alliance. I was simply checking things."
