This led her to inform me a lot about this world which looked like a fantasy world nevertheless it was a beastworld too, beastmen being the dominant population. Many intriging facts of this fantasy beastworld were stated to me which was a plathora of information. Like the number of females being excessively low compared to the males, a ratio of 1 to 20-50, of all races in this world which included the beastmen, elf, fairy, angels, mermaids, and others I believed only existed in my sweet fairy tales. The males had all sorts of magical powers ranging from manipulation of natural elements like fire, water, air, among others to extraordinary ones including plenty that would be considered dark though she mentioned even extraordinary powers were not so often seen let alone those dark power's. Granny admitted that she had no more information other than knowing they existed as such dark power's were to some extent taboo as the center of power of this world had controlled such information tightly.
She explained that the cheif's son's had been to the small city a bit farther from the village where the beast god's temple people taught beastmen who were willing to learn the god's teaching's. It was because the chief's mate was trully blessed to be able to birth 3 male child with extraordinary abilities of ice, thunder and space and the somehow managed to be part of some dark force eradication mission, albeit a small one, that they came to know of these matters. That's when granny seemed to have started to promote the chief's family as it seems that one of her own son was the mate of the chief's mate. Persuading me to become part of the chief's family making her my real granny even if I do not end up being apdopted by her son, according to her. It didn't seem like the chief was her son , and when inquired it was the truth as chief was elected by finding the strongest male in the tribe. This is when granny listed the many dangers of this world which included the lost males, the ones who lost their mind and did evil, stray males, the ones who betrayed their female, monsters that were of deadly poison, bizarre types and unexplainable ones also. There were also those who walked the morally wrong paths even without any circumstances which included the bandits, female traffickers, drug dealers?!! and others too maybe.
Granny went into further details, the lost males were those males whose strength grew and no one to soothe the choatic power's coursing thought them the beacame deranged. She touched on the topic of females vital role in this world, only females could soothe the choatic state of males, named as spiritual power, or the tribe loses one of it's protectors. Promising me that she would detaily explain after the morning meal about the whole mate idea she moved on to explain about stray beasts, they were called so owing to the fact that they betrayed their female after the mate bond was already established which is the gravest offence since mate bonds were sacred. Finally the monster's they would appear anywhere, anytime, anyplace though strange structure which would act as a gate and those monsters would swarm from those 'gates'. They usually appeared at places where large number of population was present at any given time. Since the tribe did not have a very large population comparatively it hadn't been attacked by monsters for the past few decades.
One of grannys mate I saw who had been in the kitchen came over with a tray in hand, setting it at the table, giving a soft smile to us he left us to enjoy the meal. I hadn't realized I was sitting the exact same way I did as a child when my mama would tell me stories as I listened to granny telling me about this world.
Granny invited me to join her for the meal and we ate together enjoying the meal and having some light coversation.
