Before There Was Order: Part II

2021-04-25 03:53:24“Wait,” Hildegarde silenced Mane. “Someone’s coming,” the fairy whispered into his ear.
“The person who owns the place?” Mane asked, the volume of his voice reduced to match hers.
“Yes.” Hildegarde assented. “He came a couple of times when you were asleep”
“Are we related in any way?” Mane quickly enquired. His ‘Status’ showed that he was 15, not 11. It was either he was still in his own body, but in a more matured phase, or he was in another’s body.
“I don’t think so,” Hildegarde shook her head. “You’re still using your body. Your growth was only accelerated”
“That’s good to know” Mane sighed in relief.
“Why do you ask?” Hildegarde cocked her head to the side in curiosity. Unfortunately, Mane didn’t see this adorable action because she was seated on his shoulder. And since he

“Well then, let me leave you to get some more rest. We’d talk more tomorrow morning” Dan released Mane’s hand and stood up. However, as he was reaching for the door, Mane stopped him and asked for a favor.“Hold on Sir Dan. If it isn’t too much to ask, can I get a couple of books to occupy my time?” Mane pleaded.Seeing that Dan was looking at him strangely, he quickly delivered an explanation for his actions. “I think that reading about world history and other things about magical beasts may help me remember something”“I see. Alright, I’d get you some books. No one is reading them anyway and they have longed for the touch of one seeking for wisdom. However, don’t do too much. When you get exhausted, promise me that you’d let go of the books and go to bed. It’s already nighttime.” Dan promised to do as Mane said, but he didn’t do so without leaving several warnings a

“This world is definitely underdeveloped” Mane sighed as he looked over the information he had been given. Dan arrived at his room only minutes ago to complete the final transfer. Yes, you heard right – final transfer. Mane assumed that the books were well compiled sources of information, but he was wrong. Sure they were called books just like in other worlds, but these so called books were just large sheets of paper bundled together and held by a very long string! The sheets weren’t light and crispy like what Mane was used to, rather they were hard and heavy and it was difficult to carry more than a few dozen at once. Dan delivered seven different bundles of these ‘books’. He had taken almost ten trips to bring them all here. The state of these ‘books’, brought a few things to Mane’s attention.Firstly, the papers were rough and coarse because they weren’t delicately processed. It wasn’t because Dan was poor o

Mane was given seven books by Dan. Although the author was unknown, Mane thought that it was likely that this person was a friend of Dan’s. A friend, or a subordinate.The books gave very detailed explanations of the current testing ground. Although this world didn’t have a name, all other information that pertained to its current affairs and the affairs of the few years before this one were mentioned in the book.This unknown world didn’t have any grand territories. There weren’t any magnificent kingdoms or empires, neither were there any associations of power that kept things in check. But there were common professions – jobs that people of this world have grown accustomed to in order to survive. However, before the professions could be properly introduced, it was necessary to understand more about the ones who shared the planet with the humans – the Magical Beasts.Magical Beasts were creatures that were far stronger than n

Within a small courtyard, there was a straw dummy. There was nothing particularly fancy about the dummy. It was crudely made and was nailed to the ground by a large iron rod. This dummy was positioned at one of the four corners of the courtyard. Usually this dummy was all alone, but not today. Today, there was someone standing right in front of the dummy. This person was a tall teenager with curiously good looks. The teenage boy was focused on striking the dummy in front of him. His brilliant golden hair swayed with every strike, and his steely blue eyes were filled with determination. His young face looked a tad bit more mature because of his beard. Every now and then, he’d stop to wipe off the sweat that got into his eyes. Then, he would continue. This boy was obviously Mane.*Bang**Bang*The loud sounds of the dummy being struck filled the courtyard for a good dozen minutes. Other than the few times Mane stopped to clean his sweat, he never gave himsel

“Since you are so great, why don’t we have a spar” Mane wanted to spar with Dan? Over the past few weeks, they had sparred a few times. Every time they fought, it was with a handicap. Dan only fought with one arm. He always fought with only his left arm, and never used his right arm or his legs. Mane who knew that Dan was right-handed, was very much aware of the fact that Dan had never fought seriously. It served to reinforce his belief that Dan was a First Generation Mystic Path Warrior who survived the battle against the Winged Serpent. His reasoning was simple.Although Mane wasn’t able to use any inner energy, the more he trained, the more his soul got used to this body. Hildegarde informed him that his injuries didn’t seem like ones caused by a banshee, and Mane assented. After learning about banshees, Mane knew that their attacks targeted the brain. Once their target became disoriented or had his/her brain ruptured, they would kill them ins

Mane dashed towards Dan with his arms tucked in. The veins on his arms throbbed as Mane prepared his muscles for a devastating attack. His legs moved speedily, and he covered a lot of ground quickly. Dan watched Mane’s approach with an approving smile. But within that smile, was a tinge of seriousness. Although he looked laid back, Mane didn’t leave any openings to be exploited. Finally, Mane reached Dan. He took a deep breath and prepared to unleash a strong punch.*Whoo*Dan jumped backwards in retreat as Mane exhaled. But the punch he was expecting never came. Mane who looked like he was about to put all his energy into his fists, kept them tucked in, and dashed to Dan’s side.“I see,” Dan mumbled to himself when he finally understood what was going on. Mane had a good head for battles. Dan wondered if the boy had received some sought of training before he lost his memory, since there was no other explanation for his strange and

“Dan! Is everything okay?!” A raspy voice sounded from behind the door. The voice which reeked of old age was full of concern, and Mane could tell that whoever it was thought highly of Dan.“I’m fine, Old Fan,” Dan opened the wooden door to reveal three figures. Two of the visitors were young, and the last person was an old man. All of them were fair skinned, and standing next to Dan was like looking at night and day standing side by side. The old man held a wooden stick on which he entrusted to bear his weight. His back was hunched, and his head was full of gray hair. His wrinkled face looked kind, and his smile gave one a feeling of comfort. Mane’s first thought seeing the man was, “He looks so kind.” The younger ones behind him shared a bit of resemblance with the old man. They were a young handsome boy, and a beautiful and naïve looking girl. The boy wasn’t as tall as Mane, but he wasn’t far off. He had

“Who is that twerp,” Mane ignored the approaching group and turned to question Lam who stood on his left? Lam and Lily stopped walking, so Mane stopped as well.“The Village Head’s son,” Lam took some time to answer, likely startled by the fact that Mane called the son of the Village Head a twerp. Unlike his earlier smiling demeanor, Lam was back to his strict expression. His eyes as he looked at the approaching group were cold and expressionless. Like millennium old ice tempered by the waters of Cocytus, Lam’s gaze sought to freeze the incoming group over.“He doesn’t seem to like you much,” Mane smiled, noticing Lam’s change. It seemed that Lam was the kind of person who was generous and outspoken to those he liked, and repulsive and cold to those he disliked.“The feeling is mutual,” Lam answered calmly. Beneath that layer of calm was a bubbling lake of anger. But Lam’s feminine voi

“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
Hunters: The Prequel Brothers Reunited
“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
Hunters: The Prequel The Woman and the Cat
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
