Ancestors Ice and Storm
Lam’s words were like a detonating explosive to Mane’s mind. And he blanked out for a fraction of a second. Yet the words Lam spoke kept resounding in his head. During that brief spell Mane could have sworn that his brain replayed those words at least 5 times. And each time it sounded more unbelievable than the former.
“Hold on Lam,” Mane rubbed his temples once he had recovered himself. “What do you mean by ‘all of them are traitors?’” Mane asked. How could every Elemental Ancestor turn their back on the Elementals?
“It is exactly as I said,” Lam started before continuing thusly, “When we searched their places like you asked us to we saw all we needed to see. It didn’t even take long. For they didn’t take much care in hiding evidence of their conspiracy. The only home we had to search a little bit deeper was Ancestor Origin’s. But what we found showed that all of them are indeed traitors. The only person who has no idea of this is Grandpa Pier.”
Lam sighed a

“That was a long meeting,” Ancestor Ice sighed in exhaustion as she dropped her tired body onto her couch. The large furniture caved in to accommodate the new weight and allow its mistress some much needed rest.“Yeah,” another voice chimed in as Ancestor Storm walked into the room. While he didn’t look as worn out as Ancestor Ice, traces of exhaustion could be seen on his face.Both were in Ancestor Ice’s mansion. They had retreated here, having been dismissed formally by the oldest Ancestor. Ancestor Ice and Ancestor Storm were very close. They had grown up together in their youth and had achieved a lot individually and collectively. In fact, there was a time when their families thought the two were in love with each other because of how close they were. But they weren’t. They were best friends and their friendship extended so deeply into their core that their close relationship remained even after both became Ancestors.
Hunters: The Prequel What Pazuzu Wants Most
“Now as seasoned warriors and individuals of great understanding, you certainly know what I mean when I say do not get in my way, don’t you?” Mane asked rhetorically. He did still receive an answer.“The Barrier.” Ancestor Ice said as her beautiful face scrunched up into a frown. Ancestor Storm was quick to pick up on what Mane really wanted as well. The young man was asking them not to use their Keys when the time came. As for the moment he needed them to be quiet, it was certainly at the time Mane would be ready to strike.“Yes, the Barrier. I need you to do the needful. Do not invoke the right to your Keys. That’s all I need you to do.” Mane tapped his fingers on the armrest of the chair he sat on. His eyes conveyed a calm that put both Ancestor Ice and Ancestor Storm off. For they were not used to having people acting so confidently around them.“And what next after that? If you kill the Ancestors Amalgam
Hunters: The Prequel Embracing the Sun
Back in Mane’s room, Sunflower was lying prone on the bed wearing nothing but a large black T-shirt. The size of the attire suggested that it wasn’t hers but was likely Mane’s. But since she was wearing it now, Mane could probably say goodbye to it. For there was no way he was getting it back, and events of the past had proven that retrieving any of his own clothing articles from Sunflower was akin to fighting a Battle God.“I thought he said he would only be out for a couple of hours?” Sunflower furrowed her lovely eyebrows with slight concern showing on her face.The sun had already gone down and the night had come yet Mane had still not returned. Considering that the young man told her that repairing the barrier would not take much time so he would be back soon, this was worrying. For though Mane was strong enough to fend off an Ancestor or two, he wasn’t even at the Pseudo Phenom level. Even as the young Supreme it would be diffi
Hunters: The Prequel Embracing The Sun: Part II
Two years ago, when he first learned about Pazuzu, he sensed that Ashera was hiding something from him. But when he asked Sunflower about it, she was hesitant. Not wanting to put her in a tough spot, Mane asked her not to worry about it. But now that Ancestor Ice had informed him that Ashera was part of Pazuzu’s requested ‘items’, he had a feeling that it was this information that was hidden from him. What he didn’t understand was why they just hadn’t told him? They had him thinking she was the demon god’s daughter or something. And while Pazuzu treating human beings like property was horrible, it didn’t beat the kind of assumptions Mane had conceived concerning the situation in the past two years.Sunflower was silenced by Mane’s words. And her silence lasted a couple of minutes. Mane could sense several complex emotions running through her mind and flooding her heart. And so he hugged her tightly and said, “I am not accu
Hunters: The Prequel Embracing the Sun: Part III
Hildegarde looked at Mane’s sleeping figure with a gaze that told of many stories – many unhappy stories. How would her own Tested do when the time comes? Initially she was confident Mane could easily leave this world behind because though he had friends in it, his heart was strong enough to abandon it as long as those friends were well equipped to handle the chaos of this world. It was one of the reasons Mane had helped the twins and Dan to grow stronger. But now what was he going to do? The feelings the boy had for Lily were best described as crushes so though Hildegarde used to tease him about it, she knew it wasn’t going to last. And as Hildegarde correctly predicted, time apart from each other erased those feelings from Mane’s heart. Now he regarded the Elemental Princess like a sister; news that would crush Lily’s heart if she knew since she genuinely was in love with Mane. It was different for Sunflower. With her, Hildegarde could see that Mane g
Hunters: The Prequel Spying On All Of Amalgamation
It was noon when Mane opened his eyes. It took him less than a second to get accustomed to the bright light peeping through the blinds.“How long has it been since I slept so well?” Mane wondered. Since he was young – even during the times it was recommended that he sleep several hours so he could grow properly – Mane hadn’t been one to sleep for long hours. He slept an average of 6 hours each day and seldom awoke after the sun had fully revealed itself. Yet today he had awakened much later than he usually preferred. And he reckoned that he had been asleep for at least 9 hours.“Yes. I was actually quite impressed that you were able to sleep that long.” Hildegarde flew over to Mane’s side with a slight smile on her face. In her hands was a regular-sized lollipop. Of course since Hildegarde was tiny, the lollipop was as tall as she was.“So how was it? Do you feel refreshed?” Hildegarde asked as she sett
Hunters: The Prequel Ancestor Specter - Grandpa Pier
Ancestor Pier had been feeling uneasy these past few days. He didn’t know what the source of his anxious thoughts were, neither could he conceive any possible problem. Was it Ancestor Bold? Had the man somehow bungled an easy mission? But that didn’t seem to be a cause of worry for him. After all, Ancestor Bold failing was Ancestor Bold’s problem. It had little to do with him. So what could be the source of his worry? What was the issue burdening his usually calm heart?“Ancestor Specter. Or would you rather I call you Grandpa Pier like Lam and Lily.” Suddenly a calm voice invaded his senses and sent him on the alert. He jumped to his feet swiftly, knocking the glass vase next to him onto the ground. It was a valuable piece, but in his anxious state that mattered very little to him.“Who is that?” Ancestor Specter lifted his hand to reveal a dark brown aura as a golden armor was summoned around his body. His spirit was strong f
Hunters: The Prequel I Am Mane Harbinger: I
Ancestor Specter looked outside his study room’s window with a torn expression on his face. He had the gaze of a man forced to make the hardest decision of his life. The complexities within his turbulent gaze were expressed to the trees whose branches shook ever so freely in the wind. And for the first time in his long life, Grandpa Pier envied these trees.“How nice it must be to not have to make such decisions in one’s lifetime,” Ancestor Specter sighed, longing to be one of the trees planted in his large backyard. Even being a branch would suffice for now. For it seemed much easier to be a living thing that could be here today and cut down tomorrow than to be an Elemental Ancestor wiling to abandon his leader. But it seemed that his wish was never going to be granted.“I am sorry Grandpa,” Lily stood behind the old ancestor with a face full of regret and remorse. As the one who had found the evidence that implicated Ancestor Origi
