A Brewing Storm Part I
Last Updated:
2021-03-10 20:40:43Mane looked at his father with a bemused expression and watched as the older man carefully folded the large cloak and placed it on the chair.
“So how was it?” Mane asked with a smile. He asked his father to take on the role of the beloved hero of the Western Empire and bane to the Dark Kingdom – Hidden Cloak.
The Dark God Seth was working alongside the Dark Sword. Since Seth had already revealed that he had warriors who had escaped the confines of this world’s strength system, the Dark Kingdom wouldn’t hide their power any longer. And since the Eastern Empire was yet to declare a full blown war, it was possible that they didn’t have enough personnel. They would need an awful lot of soldiers to start a war with the three other empires. That’s where the Dark Kingdom comes in. The Dark Kingdom was specialized in kidnapping and brainwashing young talents into the Dark Sword’s puppet. Alexis and Mane had anticipated that the a

“You assembled us here just for a baseless rumor?” In a large and gorgeous hall, ten people were seated in a circle. All the chairs were equal with the exception of one. This chair was taller than the others by a few feet and was the seat of the Northern Empire’s Emperor. The one who spoke was a middle aged man with black hair and a neatly trimmed beard. He sat right next to the Emperor – he was seated left of the Emperor.“Do you think the Dark Kingdom’s recent attacks have been for naught?” another middle aged man answered the question with a question. He was a handsome man with a noble air. He resembled the twins Jake and John. This was their father and Grand Marshall of the Northern Empire – Sir Blunt. Few people in the empire knew his first name and those who did didn’t dare to speak it out loud. But it wasn’t out of fear, but respect. Although he was only a Grand Marshall, his words carried weight and his power

“It is as you expected Master. They have split their forces to deal with us” in a cold and dark room, an armored figured knelt on one knee as he informed the only other person in the room. The recipient of the information wore a black cloak that blended nicely with the room, but his face was exposed for all to see. It was the former head of the Assassins Association!He had a light smile on his face when he heard his subordinate’s words. He didn’t seem concerned in the least by the information he was being given.“They want to have the other empires under their control so that they can trap us in a pincer attack.” With the Western, Northern and Southern Empires being prepped to face them, they were basically surrounded on all sides. Anyone else would be worried if their enemies had them surrounded and trapped. But he didn’t have such worry. It was true that they were surrounded, but they weren’t trapped. It was the opposi

“Do you trust her?” Duke Essandor asked Sir Blunt. The two most influential men – aside the Emperor – in the Northern Empire stood on the highly fortified walls of the Kingdom of Aira. This was the kingdom closest to the borders of the Northern Empire. If one wanted to invade the Northern Empire, aside from the minor towns and villages, this was the kingdom to come to. This kingdom was one of the most targeted places for conquest for any invading force. Because of this, it was one of the most well defended parts of the Northern Empire. Energy ballistae and large automated bows littered the top of the walls. The gate was made of heavy bronze and the walls were very high. As if that was not enough, the Absolute Queen had fortified the gates and walls with her power, making them more difficult to penetrate.The two men – Sir Blunt and Duke Essandor – had been tasked by the Goddess Alexis to protect the Kingdom of Aira. They had been given this

A Few Days Before The War BeganAlexis and her son were holed up in Mane’s room. Mane and Abelard had just returned from the Eastern Empire and had informed Alexis of everything that had happened.“A Possessed?” Alexis rubbed her temples in worry.“Yes. And it was only in its infantile stage. Luckily we killed it before it could grow” Mane had no idea that the creature he thought he had killed was alive and well. But he was bound to find out sooner than later.“We have to prepare for war” Alexis informed her son“War? Isn’t it a bit too soon to make such assumptions” Mane was doubtful that the war would be upon them so quickly.“They wouldn’t want to waste any more time” Alexis shook her head to indicate that the battle was much closer than Mane thought.“How can you be so confident that their next step would be to initiate an at

Within the palace of the former emperor of the Eastern Empire, which is now the palace of the Master, there were several warriors on guard. Although more than half of the empire’s warriors had been deployed – some to the Southern Empire and others to the Northern Empire – there were still quite a number of warriors left in the empire to defend against any attacks.“Your mother was right Mane. Even with so many of their warriors deployed, they still have a large number of warriors on stand-by” Jake was surprised by the sheer number of warriors they had avoided just by trying to enter the palace.“This is a small number” Mane sighed when he recalled that there were several warriors loitering around the capital. And that was only the capital. The other cities also had several wielders in reserve. It was only by coming here that Mane realized that although the Eastern Empire didn’t have as many men as the three empires combin

“There are 17 wielders here” Mane mumbled as he tried as much as he could to blend with the dark corners of the room.“How do you know that?” Selina wondered. She could only see 3 people patrolling the area.“I can feel them” Mane answered. “I’d explain everything later” Mane quickly added before she could ask any more questions. He started wishing he had the twins rather. At least the twins knew not to ask so many questions during missions. They knew how to be quiet when they needed to. But Abe needed backup with his mission so even if he wanted the twins he wouldn’t have had them.Frederick nudged Selina with his elbow and shook his head. He had never done anything of this nature before. He had never been on ‘missions’ before. But he at least had the common knowledge that he had to be quiet when there were enemies patrolling the area.“Stay here” Mane ordered. He couldn&

“You are strong”Deep within the palace two men were fighting – well a man and a boy. The boy had brown hair and a handsome face. This boy was Abelard. The man he was fighting against was the guardian of the device that recorded the auras of the Eastern Empire’s wielders. The device was easy to spot. It was a large box-like object which could light up. It worked like a television set. Yet right now it had a huge hole in it, rendering it completely useless. The culprit was Abe.The one who dished out the compliment was Abe’s opponent. He had long black hair and black eyes and was very dashing. He was a charming middle aged man. However he wasn’t at his best right now. There were bloodstains on his lips and his clothes, and it weren’t his enemy’s blood – it was his.He acknowledged Abe’s power. The young boy’s power didn’t match his looks. Not only did he fail to feel the boy sneaking up on hi

“So can I go ahead with my plan then” Back in the false throne room Selina was itching to get her plan underway.“You need my help to sneak out again” Mane nodded. There was no way she would be able to evade the 3 openly patrolling guards without Mane. Selina was too inexperienced for such a sneaky endeavor.“No I don’t” Selina shook her head and argued. “I saw plenty the first time” she continued and quickly exited Mane’s barrier (which neither she nor Frederick knew about) and disappeared around the corner.“What is she-” Mane was furious about her lack of tact and was about to go after her when a hand stopped him.“What are you doing” Mane asked. The owner of the hand was Frederick. Everyone on the team knew that Frederick was attracted to Selina. He should even be more eager to stop her but he was preventing Mane from doing so now.“She may be inexperience

“This…is amazing,” Mane’s eyes widened as he took in the sight before him.The young Supreme was seated on Roxanne. The beautiful dark horse had been granted the power of flight by Crystal who had no trouble casting a flight Lease on the lovely beast. While this was not a permanent condition, it would last hours, and that was thanks to Crystal’s expert command over Chaos. Any other person would have been able to cast this Lease for just under a few minutes. Mane was no exception to this. Even if his power was not sealed, he would not be able to use this Lease to liberally. If this Lease was that practical, it would have been popularized.Next to him, Professors Stern and Stanley, and Dean Desmond had smile plastered on their faces as they watched the Supreme’s gobsmacked reaction to the impressive sight before him. Behind the professors were the students, both old and new. While the older students, Kahn, Frost, Bel, and Maia were floating on their own, the new students had to be envel

“What a brilliant welcome,” Poseidon slowly moved towards the teenage looking Zeus and Atlas with a broad smile on his face.The god of the waves floated elegantly upon a bident, his eyes briefly scanning Atlas before finding his brother’s immature figure.“You have grown weak, brother,” Poseidon chuckled as he slowly flew towards his brother.Atlas, who had been on guard since Poseidon’s appearance, frowned upon seeing the god of the waves getting closer to a much weaker Zeus. His figure flashed as he appeared before Zeus, shielding him from the gaze of his own blood brother. “You have fallen low brother. Now, you require the protection of a titan? Hilarious.” Poseidon mocked as he locked eyes with the delicate looking Atlas. “Of course I have fallen. Not only was I betrayed by my own son, but I also almost died. What did you expect will happen when one who is considered as part of the big three of Olympus approaches a fallen god?” Zeus did not mind his brother’s comments.Instead

Days passed and soon it was time for Mane to leave the planet of the Celestial Emperor. Well, he wasn’t the only one leaving. It was time for the professors to return to their academies with their students – both old and new. In front of the portal that could transport them back to their academies, Mane stood with his friends as they bid each other goodbye. Well, something close to that at least. To give them some privacy, the other professors had gone on ahead with the students, standing a few tens of meters away from the Silver Wolves.“Our great Supreme, our captain and leader, the Unbended is finally leaving us. Whatever are we to do?” Abe waved his hands theatrically as he feigned sadness and pain.His words caused Selina and the twins to snicker. Only Aegeus snorted before shooting Abe a deathly stare. As for Mane, he could only smile wryly at Abe’s comments. He didn’t know when it had started since he had been away for so long in the Dreamscape, but Abe had become more easy goi
Hunters: The Prequel Way Forward
It took a week for Godking to complete its assignment and soon, Mane was back on Planet Celestial. Walking through the streets of the capital, he noticed that he was receiving a lot of stares. While it wasn’t unusual for people to stare at him given his appearance and his ethereal aura, that was only on Zandor. One could argue that it was because he didn’t look like a Celestial, but that was not accurate either. Since Celestials opened their homes to others who craved entry into the God Academies, they had welcomed several different species into their home world. Mane wasn’t not out of place in this new era, meaning there were definitely staring for another reason.“You have become very popular, young Supreme,” Professor Stern who was walking next to Mane chuckled and said.“Hahaha! The recordings that were taken of you should have spread everywhere by now. Even those who were unable to attend the event know who you are!” Professor Stanley laughed heartily while striking the young Sup

“You are still eating, even after all that happened?” Hildegarde frowned and said.She was looking at the boy who had forcefully taken her with him when he was returning to his realm with a disapproving gaze. They had escaped that world that had been prepared as his burial place. As though it had never happened, they had returned to the exact spot he had been teleported from – the kitchen. Hildegarde was confused about his current reaction.Seeing him biting onto his tuna sandwich caused her eyebrows to lift in frustration. It was the very same meal that Mane had made and had barely taken a bite of when he was transported to another world. And yes, that was not a dream; it had really happened. She couldn’t understand how the Supreme could be so calm after coming out of a life-or-death situation.“What would you have me do then? Toss it into the trashcan? That would be a waste of food.” Mane answered nonchalantly as he wiped some fish from his cheek.“That…” Hildegarde searched for wor

There were many things that could not be understood in this world, regardless of the amount of logic that one’s mind could process at any given moment, there were things that befuddled even the most brilliant minds. One of such brilliant minds – no, two of these – was staring into the sky full of stars with a torn expression on his face. This man – nay, this god – was the trickster and master shapeshifter, Loki. But he wasn’t alone.“What are you thinking about?”“Many things.”“The great Loki has more than one troubling issue? This is interesting. Odin would have laughed at the absurdity of such a statement; but looking at your expression, it seems to be true.”“It is arrogance to assume that one can solve all one’s problems with one’s mind alone. Why do you think I sought you?”“Isn’t it greater arrogance to presume that two would be enough?”“But its not just two is it? One is the mind of Odin and the other is the mind that Odin sought.”“You say you aren’t arrogant, but you do not

He moved quickly, his feet gliding across the floor soundlessly as he reached the Earth Realmer’s unguarded back. He opened his mouth and spat out a dagger, sending it flying towards the neck of his enemy. Before he was spotted by one of the Profound Realmers, his dagger had already pierced the Earth Realmer’s neck, and the latter was grasping at his neck furiously, almost like he could seal the hole and return his blood to his body by doing so.“Intru-“*Puchi*Dan swiftly waved his hands, changing the direction of his dagger and sending it flying into the neck of the Profound Realmer who had tried to sell him out. As he did so he was already sweeping his foot towards the abdomen of another enemy.*Boom*The stunned guard was sent flying into the wall and coughing up blood before he could fully understand what was going on. By this time, the last guard had finally caught up. He dashed towards Dan quickly, drawing his sword in the process. Without any hesitation he swung his blade at

“There really is no one impressive here,” Dragon King Bast stated as his sword sliced through a Noble as easily as cutting through tofu.“I knew he said he will make sure this place is left almost unguarded, but this is incredible,” Captain Hafiz muttered as he watched the disciplined legion of warriors beelining into their path.While he spoke calmly, his rioting aura and the violence being radiated in his eyes showed his eagerness for war. He was not the only one expressing such deathly intent. Every member of the Sun Squad was ready to go wild, their eyes gleaming just as dangerously as their captain.“Why are you people talking so much. Let’s fight!” Monkey King Hanuman roared out and jumped towards the approaching legion.While the others were a bit taken aback that there were none of the Skies here to face them, Monkey King Hanuman didn’t care about that. Last he remembered, several of the Skies had died on his planet, leaving only the strongest behind. Since Loki said he would
Hunters: The Prequel Breakout!
Back in the Dreamscape Universe, there was a war raging. While it wasn’t overt, citizens in every world could feel that the drums of war had been brought out. They had not been embroiled in chaos yet, but they knew that soon the drum beaters will strike down, announcing the start of another war, and this world would fall into disorder again.The one who stood at the centre of this war were preparing in their own right. Within the camp of ‘good’, Loki, Ananse, and Zica, gathered allies. So far they had attracted the likes of the Barbarian Primogenitor, Red Rose, and some of the Barbarian Ancestors. Destiny and Pathfinder were here along with a few other unknown ancestors. As if that wasn’t enough, the Barbarian Lord, Magma, and his Flames, had also escaped the confines of their home to join this war. They weren’t the only ones that had stepped up though. The Elementals had not hesitated to send their best as well. Ancestor Spector had arrived with a few other ancestors from Amalgamatio
