Chaos is universal. There was no place without it; and without it, life would be incomplete. The Dreamscape was facing a period of unprecedented crisis; for their Supreme was no more the apex existence of their world. However, only a few were aware of this. For those whose lives were devoid of the knowledge of other planets and Supremes, nothing had changed. Order's rule had changed little for those who belonged to backwater planets. One of such planets was the Word of the Three Great Races. It was important to remember however, that even gold was found in the muddiest of places. So it was with the World of the Three Great Races. It may be a weak world filled with little knowledge about the vast expanse, but it had its own fair share of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. In an Enchanted Forest which was located at the edge of the planet, was a strange mystery. This was a mystery known yet unknown. It was unknown to the folks of this world with very limited power, but known to those
Chaos was universal. It mattered not where one lay one's head, one would find chaos lying next to him or her. Just as the Dreamscape was faced with its own challenges and trials, the hand of fate had not been removed from Zandor either. The world of Zandor was facing a crisis incomparable to any other. One could say that what Zandor was going against was far greater than whatever trial Mane was facing. If Mane deemed Pazuzu a vast ocean, then Zandor's situation was akin to being besieged on all sides by 4 great oceans! So it was now; so it had been for a while now.Within the palace of the Western Empire's royal family, in a room that was desolate of all things but a man, the young Prince of the Western Empire was seated in a cross-legged position. The neatly cut brown hair of the boy - nay, man; for the past few years had forced the young Prince to go through much growth - slightly shivered with the currents of the winds that lifted them to and fro. Like a still boulder the young Pri
Abe's message was received by every Silver Wolf. Aegeus, Jake and John, Selina and Frederick were swift to respond to the message. Everything had long been put in place, and they knew where they would rendezvous upon their summoning. Everyone made haste to the chosen meeting place. Selina and Frederick rode in a magical chariot Frederick had crafted. The handmade artefact was swift and capable of flight. It streaked through the sky like a meteor, easily surpassing a peak Noble in terms of speed.Jake was like a fiery comet. His figure was like the sun in the sky. Although it was day, everyone who saw the second sun marvelled at how brightly it outshone the sun!John wasn't one to be outdone by his brother. A mighty water dragon was conjured by the younger twin brother. It flew right next to Jake with John inside it. The conjured beast was as swift as it was majestic. It didn't lose out to Jake's speed at all!Aegeus' rode upon his rod. Although the weapon was of the same size as a wa
"How long do we have?" Aegeus suddenly asked, and the jovial atmosphere of the team shifted. A solemn wind swept up the joy of each and every Silver Wolf, and the eyes that were gladdened with the view of one another were replaced by gazes that could pierce through a sandstorm."Not long," Abe replied stiffly. As the only Scholar in the team, he was the best person to rely on when it came to locating enemies and estimating the time of arrival. Abe could feel it even before the others arrived. When he was less than a kilometer away, he could already sense that the seal within the forest was being tampered with. Their enemies were already at the door!"A group brawl?!" Selina asked as she equipped her mask and summoned her spear. The long spear had been modified by Frederick during this period of time and didn't look anything like it did a few months ago. It was now entirely red, like it was made out of lava in its entirety. A scorching wind enveloped the place once the spear was summon
Aegeus twirled Aegis around before allowing the strange weapon to escape his grip. Aegis hummed and buzzed as it slowly circled it's master."Let's go," Abe commanded the others, and they sprang into action. Twenty more foreigners had entered their planet. Twenty more thieves had invaded their land, and they were unwilling to allow them to have their way. *Boom*With a powerful burst the Silver Wolves - nay, Hidden Cloak - sprang into action. Their elusive figures were akin to the deadly streams of war and chaos, and their cold eyes indicated that their will to protect their people had long suppressed any fearful thoughts.Aegeus was the last to move. Unlike the others he moved as though he was taking a leisurely stroll. His steps were light yet powerful; for Zandor trembled with his strides. He was the vanguard; he was the protector of the team. The others could fight freely because he was there to watch their backs. As long as he was around, they would not be moved!The twenty intr
20 came!18 remained!Silence filled the battlefield for a short while as the hearts of the intruders comprehended what had just happened. They had lost two peak Nobles! They had lost men who were as strong as themselves. And those men had fallen easily! They were vanquished like bugs being squished. They were treated as pests being disposed off. The hearts of those who remained chilled at the thought of their current situation - all but the three who worshipped the True Goddess."The girl with the spear; we invite you to join the True Goddess. With your talents and your beauty it wouldn't be long before you become a mighty warrior underneath the banner of our liege. When you come you will experience what the outside world is truly like."One of the ladies facing Abe ignored the young Prince and offered an invitation to Selina. Her eyes were filled with pride, and she spoke with certainty. Her use of the word 'when' reflected just how confident she was that Selina would not reject her
"What are you looking at?" Aegeus asked an intruder who had lost his bearings after seeing another taken down so easily. His figure flashed before the man's eyes and with the swiftness of Hermes, he decapitated the unfortunate bloke with nothing but his nails.*Thud*"Now there are only 16," Aegeus mumbled before remembering that he had broken the bones of two intruders and hadn't finished them off."Wheeeew weee" Aegeus whistled loudly, and Aegis heeded his call. The Soul Weapon rushed out, and soon the miserable screams of two men were heard, causing the lights in the hearts of the remaining 14 to grow dim.20 came; 14 remained!In less than a minute, 6 of them had been killed. Many swallowed their spittle with eyes that reflected exactly how they felt. This was fear! The land they thought was easy to pick on was slowly turning out to be their graveyard!"You should pay attention to me," Jake 'kindly' reminded an absentminded foreigner before masterfully hacking the man's body into
*Cling**Bang**Boom**Klang*The forest floor was fractured and bruised all over. Several trees had been felled - not by the work of nature but by forces that suckled at nature's generous breasts - and many lives had been lost. The ground was bloodied and scattered with several broken weapons. Spears, swords, axes, staffs and even strange weapons like lamps and slings decorated the forest floor grotesquely. Many headless bodies littered the ground, allowing the brave scavengers who dared encroach upon this battlefield a feast of brains and eyes."Guh" Letting out a small gurgle, another was added to the list of the dead. As the man fell, the sounds of battle ceased, leaving the survivors panting heavily. "When is the next group coming in? How far away are they?" Selina asked as she wiped the sweat off her brow. Her eyes were filled with exhaustion, and her soaked clothes told that she was at her limit; and this was no surprise for she and the others had been battling for over three
“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
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
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
