Secrets And Mazes
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Every house had secrets. And the mansions each team resided were no different. It was up to the one staying there to discover these secrets. More often than not, such huge mansions had their own secret bunkers or escape rooms. Some had tunnels that stretched further than the eye could see. Others were built over water sources, and had exits that led to creeks. The Orange Team’s mansion was no different. Their secret was a simple one, and it would bring envy to any person. It was a very useful secret, especially for those who operated in the shadows like them.
Their secret was a secret bunker which was connected to an underground exit. It had been discovered the moment they moved into this place. Black Hand did a sweep of the building to root out any hidden appliances or traps that may have been set up. They were competing in the Grand Tourney, but they hadn’t forgotten that they were in enemy territory. Just like they had their own hidden agendas, their enemies ma

Dark clouds had gathered, and with their appearance the rain that followed was no surprise. The dark clouds hugged the sky greedily, pushing the sun out of its dominant position and taking control of what was not originally theirs. They drummed mightily, these dark clouds, their thunderous roars giving birth to several streaks of lightning that flashed across the now carpeted sky. The winds ragged and howled, and the rain fell heavily. It fell with such recklessness that one would have thought that it sought to wrought vengeance on the earth below for being so far away from the sky were it usually slept peacefully.Those who were walking the earth down below scampered to safety, for no one was foolish enough to go against the wrath of nature. The sky roared thunderously, and lightning flashed towards the earth, coming dangerously close to a few people who ran even more frantically upon escaping this near death encounter. Some of them tripped over themselves, whereas others sl
Hunters: The Prequel Komfo Anokye - The Man With Many Names
The Lightning Phoenix kept charging forward, its figure nothing but a blur. Its hasty advance was partly fueled by the fact that it had been delayed by the Lightning Snake. It had wasted some time killing off the beast and consuming its corpse. The other half of the reason was that it had just come face to face with the most frightening existence that a Sacred Bird could have come across. It had come face to face with the one known as The Beast Slayer; The Devil Maker; Destroyer Of Kings; The Ghostly Paragon; and most famous of all; Basileus!That man was known for his driving desire to possess the corpses and blood of precious beasts. He had killed many, and several members of its race had fallen victim to him. The Lightning Phoenix was not foolish enough to believe the claims of The Beast Slayer that it was spared because it was a precious beast. Which of the beasts that had been killed by the Devil Maker had been average? Which of the beasts that had fallen prey to the Gho

“Welcome Ladies And Gentlemen! Welcome to the…”“GRAND TOURNEY!”“That’s right folks. After waiting for an entire month to get some more action, we are finally here. This here isn’t just any stage of the competition, but the Finals of the…”“GRAND TOURNEY!”“Yes! Feel the excitement folks. Can you feel it?!”“WE CAN!”“Can you touch it?!”“WE CAN!”“Then let’s give a warm round of applause to our City Lord – the one and only ruler of Asher City and one of the main organizers of the Grand Tourney – as he reminds us of what has happened so far!”*Clap Clap Clap*And so along with the warm applause of the audience, the record stone rose high into the air to capture the image of the City Lord as he stood up to address the people. Today was a special occasion, and he wa
Hunters: The Prequel Unexpected Development
“Now let’s invite the two teams on to the field,” Peter took over once the City Lord’s narration was over. Seated next to him was the more reliable and astute Maggie.“Before the teams make their entrance, it is prudent to let the people know the team news,” Maggie stopped Peter from calling out the teams and said.“Ah yes,” Peter smacked his head lightly. “I almost forgot about this,” he confessed, not at all offended that he had been corrected before so many witnesses.“Both teams are missing a man. Black Ink is still out. The good news is that he is recovering rapidly, and there would be no underlying issues after his recovery. The unfortunate news is that he is unavailable for this clash.”“However, the Orange Team have their own injury problems. Black Hand, the powerful Predator who revealed such fearsome might at the end of the Semi-Finals clash between himself and Indigo
Hunters: The Prequel Another Predator?
“Why is he doing this?” Hildegarde asked as she sat upon Mane’s shoulders. Her gaze was fixed onto the figure wearing a white mask standing opposite the giant known as Black Saga.“I don’t know. It doesn’t make any sense.” Mane responded through the mask. Just like Hildegarde, his eyes were glued onto the white masked figure standing in the center of the field.“Do you think the City Lord asked him to do this?” Hildegarde asked, turning her attention to the man seated on the second highest platform in the entire stadium. That platform was second only to the commentator’s booth.“Once again, I have no idea,” Mane shook his head and said. “It doesn’t make any sense to antagonize either Lam or me, so I don’t know why he would give such an order. But that man is crafty and I cannot confidently think for him. So I really don’t know whether he gave the order or it was Black
Hunters: The Prequel Healing Enhanced Potion
*Boom*The first person who moved was Black Saga. Once Steel Fist’s seal of approval had been stamped, he leaped straight into action. He charged straight towards Lam with his large rod in hand. Like a man emboldened by the power of his god, he lashed out at Lam. Spinning his rod with incredible speed, so much so that the audience couldn’t even see the weapon clearly and could only see blurry images of the mighty weapon, he struck the rod towards his opponent. In all of this Lam was still, not yet making a move.“What is he doing?” Vital Orange furrowed his brows in worry. He didn’t understand why Lam allowed Black Saga to get so close. To him, Lam had made two grave mistakes. One, he allowed his opponent to strike first, losing the momentum right at the start of the match. Two, he hadn’t made any attempt to rectify the first mistake, and chose to stay still, almost as if he was terrified by Black Saga.“He is waiting to
Hunters: The Prequel Cheating
“Is that allowed?” Peter asked doubtfully, echoing the concerns of the Black Team faithfuls within the stadium, which was basically almost everyone here. The rules of the Grand Tourney prevented any combatant from taking substances that would serve the purpose of boosting their strengths. It was unacceptable to do so.“Technically it is not,” Maggie shook her head and replied. “But,’ she added before Peter could say anything more. “That is for other Enhancement Potions. If it were any other Enhancement Potion, it would have been against the rules to take it pre or mid-match. But the Healing Enhanced Potion is a half and half potion. It partly heals, and partly enhances one’s strength. It isn’t as strong as a regular healing potion so it wouldn’t really stop the bleeding. At most it would slow it down, but its added effect of boosting a person’s strength by 20% makes it far more beneficial than a Healing Potion.
Hunters: The Prequel You Are Now Strong
As the two – Elemental and Godling – bottled up their rage, the one involved was in a much better position than they thought. Although his facial expression which had been concealed by the mask had turned ugly upon hearing Maggie’s words and understanding that his opponent was basically ‘doping’, he was able to calm himself shortly after. Taking in a deep breath, he did something that he hadn’t done since the match started. He charged straight at Black Saga.Wielding the sword that had been gifted to him by The Citadel, he weaved through the field, even avoiding the raindrops that fell his way. Like a swan taking flight, his movements were elegant and refined – almost ballerina-like. In under a few seconds he was right in front of his foe. Black Saga was momentarily taken aback seeing Lam appear so quickly. He was more surprised by the fact that Lam had taken the initiative to start an attack, something that the white masked boy hadn&

“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
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

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
