Hunters: The Prequel Assembling
While Loki, Ananse, and the Golden Sky were making their moves, there was another who was making her move as well. She was someone the people of this universe had forgotten, for her throne had been usurped; but those who carried the essence of this universe had not forgotten her, and they would not allow themselves to forget her. Naturally, this person was Zica.The former Supreme of this universe may have been pushed into obscurity, and she may currently be weaker than she was in her prime, but there were still those who knew and believed in her return. These people were individuals who had fought behind her and served as her subordinates for the longest time. They knew no other thing than this: Zica would return.From the moment Mane arrived in the world to the very time that he had left, Zica had been making preparations. She had been secretly assembling those who had once fought for her, the very same ones who had been ready to give their lives for her; and she had done this throu

“Are you ready? We would be waging war soon.” Loki asked Ananse, the woman who was the symbol of wisdom in his universe.The two were seated in a simple restaurant. The restaurant was filled with many familiar faces. These were people Mane had fought against or with. From the Barbarian Primogenitor to Dragon King Bast to Monkey God Hanuman and the Matriarch of the Ancient Clan as well as the allies from the Elementals, there were many gathered here whom Mane knew. Even Lily and Lam were here. They had come with their grandfather and though they weren’t strong enough to be on the frontlines, they were unwilling to miss such a moment. If there was one important person missing, it would be the woman who had provided solace for the young Supreme years ago – Asherah. Her whereabouts had been unknown since the war with Pazuzu. It wasn’t just her though. Chief Priest Kaka and the rest had gone missing as well. Of course, right now, the priority wasn’t to find her. There was war coming. They

Mane sat silently within a training room provided by the Celestials. This was the room he had been using since he had arrived on this planet, and it had served him well. He had returned here after parting with his father. While the two had much to talk about, even several days were not enough to make up for the time lost between them. He had to leave at one point. He had to return to Olympus to claim the throne that he did not want. He needed to do so for his son; and so he had left after the two had spoken for a few hours, albeit reluctantly.Mane didn’t attempt to keep him here either. Just as he had his responsibilities as a Supreme, his father had his own duties as a father. He was deluded into thinking that his father was chasing after the throne of Asgard because he wanted it. Mane was aware that everything Reus and Thrud (Ray and Alexis) did were for his sake. He would not interfere with their parenting responsibilities, especially when they were building a network he would fal

“Do we not deserve seats, Celestial Emperor?” Ra asked as he tossed a few grapes into his mouth.“You have seats,” Atlas replied as he looked down upon the God Kings seated across his throne.Apart from him and the God Kings, there was no one else. There was not a servant in sight nor guard around. Clearly, Atlas was aware of how useless that would be around these men.“You have placed us lower than you,” Sango said with a scowl.“You want me to give you my throne in my home? You, who is merely a representative of Ogun? Do not forget your place Sango.” Atlas replied with a straight expression.His words caused Sango to dive into rage. His aura grew rapidly as he stood; however, before he could do something stupid, Brahman who was seating next to him placed his hand on his shoulder and pushed him back into his seat. The God King of the 4th Heaven pushed down so strongly that Sango’s aura was deflated like a popped balloon. With cold eyes he stared at Sango and said,“Atlas is right. Do

“Ah Mane Harbinger, the Unbended. So nice of you to join us.” Ra smiled as he gazed upon the figure of the boy who was slowly turning into a man.“The Unbended?” Mane muttered in confusion as he straightened his slightly bent back.“Yes. That is what the people are calling you now.” Brahman replied with a kind smile.“Apparently, even in the face of overwhelming strength, he stood up from the debris and summoned the power of old,” the Jade Emperor spoke this time.“Power of old?” Mane was confused once again.“The power of Chaos. That is what people call the power of Chaos. After all, it is a power that they do not understand.” Ra spoke again, spitting out a stick from the many grapes he had carelessly tossed into his mouth.“You speak as though you understand this power, God King Ra,” Celestial Lord Atlas stated plainly, causing Ra to hiss in annoyance; however, the prideful God King did nothing else.“The Unbended huh,” 1st chuckled within Mane’s mind space, seemingly pleased by thi

After some small talk, Mane left the throne room. His absence changed nothing, just as his presence added nothing. Once he was gone, the God Kings continued their conversation, engaging in small talk with the Celestial Emperor before finally taking their leave. As one would expect, Atlas did not see them out. He merely called in a few of his trusted servants to guide the God Kings out of his palace. Clearly, he had no desire to accommodate them here.Once they left, Zeus appeared from the darkness. Looking in the direction from which his rivals had come and gone, a small sigh escaped his lips. Turning to Atlas, he chuckled and said,“It is becoming harder and harder for you to hide your true feelings when you are around them. I remember you used to be very composed, to the point of perfection.”“Lord Zeus,” Atlas greeted politely.“You should learn to hide your emotions better. It was clear to them that you were hostile towards their presence. They are quite sensitive, you know.” Zeus

“Master, why did you ask me to come here,” Mane asked as he stood in front of the gate to a humble home.He wore a large cloak with a hood that hid his face and figure perfectly. His head was bowed and his back slightly hunched to keep his disguise. This was because now that the universe knew his face, his days of walking around freely were over. He was able to stand unnoticed before this house because of this. Thankfully, none of the numerous Celestials passing by had noticed that he was the Supreme. Clearly, his camouflage worked a charm.“This is his home. This is Brahman’s home.” The Bloodied Blade Lord replied.For it had been his impulsive decision that Mane should come this way. At least, that was what Mane thought. He had been told that Brahman and his master were siblings and though that had been difficult to believe at first, it made sense considering that none of his masters were ordinary. Maybe, just maybe, it was time to free them from the burden of being stuck with him.

“How did you know where to find me?” Brahman asked as he sat opposite the Supreme.This young boy had impressed him during his match and was doing same once again. He couldn’t help but try to understand the inner workings of this brilliant boy’s mind.“It is best if I answer that,” Blade Lord replied, and a hazy figure materialized next to Mane.This apparition was nothing more than smoke in the form of a person, yet the aura it gave off was comparable to the aura of God Kings! Even though it had no form, two hazy blades could be made out from its figure, presumably strapped to its back. This was the materialized form of the Blade Lord!“Master!” Mane screamed in shock, for he had no idea that this was possible.“Oh? We didn’t tell you?” 1st mumbled.“Tell me what?” Mane replied.“Well, when you broke into the Nobility Realm, it became possible for us to materialize next to you. While we cannot show our true forms, we can accompany you like spirits. Huh. Did we really not say a word?”

Hunters: The Prequel Arriving at Godking Academy
“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
Hunters: The Prequel Departure and Arrival
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
Hunters: The Prequel What Was Gained
“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
Hunters: The Prequel Dan's Rescue: II
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
Hunters: The Prequel Dan's Rescue: I
“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
