Ivor’s destination was the entrance of the Dark Valley. He had placed a Space Mark there so that was the only place he could travel to. Besides, it was the only place he would need to go to since Mane’s appearance meant that the Princess wasn’t that far behind.
The first thing that greeted Ivor was the dim lighting of a Light Grass. When he looked across the space to locate the source of the grass he was met with the surprised expression of the one whom he was meant to protect – the Princess he had come for.
“Ivor?” Lily had a surprised expression on her face when she saw the newcomer. A black hole suddenly appeared before herself and Silver. It was within the range of the light grass that floated right before them so they saw it pretty easily. And both were pretty anxious when the gaping hole they couldn’t see through suddenly appeared before them. Their anxiety from waiting for Mane was heightened, and Silver had even summone
_The lady in red streaked through the sky effortlessly. She moved as though she was one with the wind and wind pressure didn’t seem to affect her. For the speed they moved at was beyond anything Mane had ever experienced. If it wasn’t for the green barrier, neither Mane nor the Heavenly Nether Beast would have been able to travel so comfortably amidst the strong winds that tried to bombard them from the outside.The Heavenly Nether Beast had long halted its actions. It wasn’t trying to resist anymore. After constantly striking the barrier with all its strength for several minutes without end, it had exhausted its power. What it was doing now was recovering. It was lying on the ground with its eyes closed, seemingly sleeping. But the Edict that gathered outside its barrier and permeated it to get to the large cat proved that it was doing anything but sleeping.As for Mane, he was still lying prone on the ground. The bleeding had stopped, and th
“Welcome to my tower,” the lady in red stopped before a long building that reached up to the sky. It seemed to want to reach the heavens and not want to at the same time. For its tip touched the sky before it stopped its rise. It wanted to see the heavens, but it respected them too much to actually do anything but sneak a peek. The tower was not just tall. It was made with sturdy and strong materials of much greater quality and density than white or red stones. No one beneath the Ascension Realm had the power to breach its walls!Mane frowned at the sight before him. For he could feel the power of Edict deeply entwined with the tower. He was still blindfolded, so it was his other senses he was relying on. And before his shut eyes what he could ‘see’ was a large towering solidification of Edict! Whatever this tower was, it was extraordinary. For not only was it so strong that Mane couldn’t see a way to even create a scratch on its walls, he could
On the 7th Floor of the Tower of the Hundred, two women were engaged in conversation. Both women were beautiful and dressed very conservatively. Not only were both of them perfectly lovely, they had similar demeanors. For both had the air of nobility and power swirling around them, only that one of them possessed both in greater quantity.Of the two, one was seated on a simple stool with one of her legs placed elegantly over the other. In front of her was a small table that held a kettle and a teacup. The other was standing next to the seated woman with her arms placed before her in a humble posture. As she stood her eyes didn’t travel around the room. They remained fixed on a portrait on the wall across the room. The portrait held a painting of a woman flying through the skies with a slender sword in hand and a large Dragon flying right at her side. Although it was just a painting, it held a certain grandeur and charm that was sure to draw attention to it. T
“You are finally here,” Ashera squinted her eyes with a slightly irritated look on her face as she looked at the boy standing several feet away from her. Although his clothes were comically small, he was still a dashing young man. His hair was carelessly left over his shoulder, yet it added to his charm. It was a shame that she didn’t get to see those deep blue eyes that she had only caught a glimpse of in Ivor’s memories. But she wasn’t going to ask him to take the blindfold off because it was a wise decision on the part of the boy to avoid her eyes.“Pardon my disrespect Mistress Ashera,” Mane bowed slightly in apology. He was very much in the wrong here, and it would be foolish to do anything but accept his mistake.“Pff,” Sunflower softly laughed upon seeing Mane’s current appearance. His appearance in those clothes when taking the bow, coupled with his serious expression was as sight to behold.&ld
Shocked wasn’t enough to explain Mane’s current train of emotions. Surprised, scared and terrified were certainly better descriptions. But they still didn’t cover the full brunt of emotions that swarmed Mane when Ashera’s voice reached him. He blanked out, his mind nothing but a simmering black hole. His lips shook and twitched like one suffering from involuntary, uncontrolled spasms, and his body shook like a leaf struggling against a furious storm.His aura involuntary forced its way out of his body, as torrents of fire and lightning squirmed round him like snakes and bound themselves to him. Violent winds whipped the area around Mane, tossing the coffee table before him to one of the ends of the room. As Mane clenched his fists a black aura clothed him fully, accepting him in its embrace. His golden locks grew into red knots that hissed angrily at the current circumstances. He was still seated, with his arms placed on his laps like a calm gentleman.
“Am I allowed to use my weapons?” Mane asked the woman with a cold expression standing several feet away from him. This woman had beautiful silver blonde hair with red streaks running through the numerous locks that adorned her delicate head.“You are,” Rose nodded her head with a serene expression on her face. She was dressed in a long gown not suited for battle, but it didn’t look like she was going to change. There were a few other people in the room with them. Two ladies who had similar facial features to Rose and two beasts. The beasts were Sasha and Silver who had finally been spotted by Daisy after a three hour search. Silver sat on the floor with his knees to his chest and his eyes glued to Mane’s figure with a bit of anticipation and excitement. On top of his shoulder sat Sasha, who was still in her miniaturized state. She lazily licked her paws and only cast her eyes to Mane’s figure once in a while. She didn’t seem th
“So, how was he?” Ashera asked. She was seated on a large, comfortable chair. Her long hair fell carelessly over her shoulders, with some stray strands covering up her eyes. Before her were the three sisters – Rose, Daisy and Sunflower.“His understanding of wind is poor,” Rose gave her honest assessment. “His comprehension is at the Intermediate Stage, but his use of it in battle is limited. However, he is intelligent and creative. Before his practice with me ended he had been able to conjure a wind shield.” Rose added.“I see,” Ashera nodded her head.“And you?” Ashera pulled back the loose hair strands so that the triplets could see her dazzling eyes.“His understanding of water is exceptional. It’s at the Mastery Stage, and he is almost as good as I am.” Daisy started. “However, he doesn’t seem too reliant on it so he was a bit rusty when we fought. Tis no
*Boom**Bang*Countless booming sounds rang out from within a large underground palace. The palace was largely empty, with only several giant statues holding on to mighty spears guarding checkpoints every ten or so meters. At the end of the large room were two statues. One of the statues was that of a strong and mighty red dragon with its mouth wide open in a defiant roar. It had a beautiful red crown adorning its large head, and its eyes were just as red as its scales. The second statue was just as grand as the first. However this dragon statue had a calm disposition, unlike the fiery disposition of the first. This statue was a beautiful blue dragon with a majestic blue crown on its head and azure blue eyes.Within the palace were three figures entwined in a fiery encounter. Of the three, two were humans. The other was a phantom of a small red dragon. The two humans had identical appearances, for they were twins, yet their auras were different. One of the twins
“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
