Written summary
This is what was written after the event "Last time on Phoenix SMP... January 16th, 2021""A great war between the two clans, Malacus and Murex, has broken out. Over the past few weeks, Malacus clan has grown in size and shadows Murex clan in a veil of hopelessness. It has become fact that Malacus has much better weapons and armour and numbers than Murex, but the creation clan does not accept this. There is still a spark of hope among them. Just mere minutes before the battle begins, their leader distributes diamonds and valuables to her people. The Malacus army, whose leader had failed to show up to the fight, builds a towering wall of dirt...""The battle begins, the swords clash, blood is spilt, and cries are heard. Some people have piled up high to watch the battle without being hurt. The war continues until, suddenly, everyone freezes, unable to fight any more. At the top of a great banner stands Bus876...""'Why must you all fight?' Bus asks to the confused warriors below. 'It achieves nothing but pain and anguish. The clans are only destroying themselves. 'You tear up the land. Destroy the peace. You’ve ruined this land with your pointless bickering and fruitless fighting. 'Nothing is preserved, thanks to all of you. 'I have discovered something that will reverse all of the damage, whether you are ready for it or not... 'Everyone, I would like to welcome back to this realm... 'The most powerful… 'With unlimited resources… 'Here to save you from yourselves... 'MORA CLAN! 'WE WILL PRESERVE EVERYTHING. WE WILL STOP THIS WAR BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY. I HAVE ONLY DEMONSTRATED A FRACTION OF MORA’S POWER. LET THIS BE A WARNING TO YOU ALL!'""With that, Bus, clothed in thick netherite armor and holding a sword of much power, jumps into the field and slays as many soldiers as possible before he is forced to retreat. Nobody forsaw this.""Post breve tempus, the smoke finally clears and the battle is over. Murex clan has taken more lives than Malacus clan has, and they declare themselves the winners of this fight."The following was written to explain Bus' backstory: "Bus876, a mortal, sick of the constant fighting and imbalance, decides to go as far away from the clans as possible. During his travels, he finds a forgotten place filled with forgotten people. He had discovered a mysterious third clan. These people claimed to be from the clan of Mora. They had been exiled hundreds of years ago for interfering in the everlasting battle. See, Mora clan was trying to stop the fighting and create peace between the other two clans. They argued for an equal amount of creation and destruction. They activated their ultimate preservation power, which gave everyone new forms and rebirthed the world, PhoenixSMP. For the first and only time in history, Murex and Malacus banded together to get rid of the Mora clan to continue fighting each other. The members of Mora clan were banished to the far reaches of the world. They took Bus6876 to their king, Saxum, an old golem made of stone and rust. Saxum was mad at the other clans for being foolish, and requested Bus876’s help. He then appointed Bus876 as the human representative of Mora clan, and sent him to spy on Malacus and Murex. Mora clan will stop the fighting at any costs, no matter how much blood is spilt. Even if it means eradicating anyone who does not join them, even if it means their own destruction. The end will come."
