Suspicions Part II
Last Updated:
2020-12-04 04:55:05"Just so you know, your earlier theory is correct. The Shadow God has indeed reached the ne plus ultra of godhood." Ray looked Butler Fin in the eye as he spoke. His countenance was stern, his words without an iota of doubt.
"I see", Butler Fin replied. "What gave him away?" he continued. He was aware that his 'employer' wouldn't be so certain if he didn't have proof. He curious about the how though. Since Seth had blocked his senses, and since he had kept out of Ray's way, he wasn't clear concerning what had happened to give the Shadow God away. He wanted to know how Ray had caught on to the elusive one.
"The head of the Assassins Organisation was his giveaway." Ray answered. Fin looked at him without a word, waiting for him to continue. "There is something I never told you, mostly because I was certain that you wouldn't approve. Apart from me, only my uncle and wife know." Ray sighed in resignation as he confessed. Butler Fin knew everything, well almost everything.

"You think he was summoned? Why do you say so?" Butler Fin had his eyebrows raised in surprise. For an entity like himself, there were a few things that could surprise him. It had been millions of years ago since he was last stunned. He had been amused a few times but that was it. However, this time there was nothing amusing about what he was hearing. If what the Brute King Ray saying wasn't mere speculation, then…"There is someone in this world that dares to summon the unpredictable god of darkness." Ray spoke his thoughts out exactly, making the older god almost question whether the young battle god had stayed with him so long that he could…"Finish your sentences? Yeah I can." Ray smirked triumphantly upon having correctly guessed what his mentor was thinking. Butler Fin smiled in amusement. For a moment both of them cast aside their temporary worries as they cast their minds back to the simpler times. Those times when it was just the two of them. Tha

"But this person is different. He isn't rejected by the world, since he can use his powers freely. It's seems to be the opposite." Butler Fin pondered out loud. "You mean our perp has the world's will on his side?" Ray questioned. "He does" Butler Fin nodded in reply."I ask you Ray, when you left on your rampage, did you find anything strange?" Butler Fin asked. Ray creased his brows, his brain worked double time, eager to notice something that he had missed. Looking at his ward deep in thought, Butler Fin smiled wryly. He sure wished that Ray was as quick-minded as his wife at certain times. It wasn't that Ray was dimwitted or slow. It was far from that. But the Brute King was close to two of the brightest minds in the universe. In their presence and company, his sharp mind was nothing but a blunt dagger. One that was easily overpowered by their sharp and resilient blades."Just let me see the entire process of your rampage." Butler Fin sighed in defeat after waiting

"It is impressive that someone was able to spy on us." Ray smirked carelessly. Butler Fin ignored the 'boy's' mockery and replied, "It is remarkable. Just like a mortal was able to endure your glow." Ray shut up at the rebuttal. The glow he used on the assassin was one of his most prized possessions. It was called Brimstone. This glow allowed Ray to burn things down even to a molecular level. Even the soul wasn't spared this agony. Being burnt by these flames ensured that one's soul would be lost for all eternity, completely destroyed, leaving nothing for the eager arms of the grim reaper. It was certain that the grim reaper hated this technique. No one would appreciate a skill that starved them of their food.The reason why Butler Fin dared to mock Ray concerning this was because although Ray had used his glow, the small part of the soul which held the imprint had survived, and conveyed all that happened to the castor- everything that happened in its last moments.

"You would have to tell him eventually. If you don't, he definitely will find out. Many Supremes learned about their responsibilities before they were even ten. Your boy is almost eleven years old. And he is a bright kid. He would eventually find out what you are keeping from him." As usual, Butler Fin went on to tell him what he thought."I know. I just want him to have a bit of freedom right now. To play with his friends, to grow stronger without truly feeling any pressure. Is that too much to ask for?" Ray sighed tiredly."No, it isn't. You want him to be a child for a little more time. You want him to actually grow, and not to be forced into his growth. But Mane was never truly a child. His level of maturity has always been very high. Even Jake said so himself. The boy already knows that there are people after him. And he knows that these people are pretty darn strong. All I'm saying is that it is better for him to learn about his destiny from you, than to have to

"Wait a minute. If that is the case, how come I don't have such an ability?" Ray's question poked a hole in the old butler's explanation. If all that was said was true, how come he had no such abilities?"Do you remember how you mastered the sword?" Butler Fin asked."Not really" Ray replied."That is because you didn't. You just picked it up and started using sword arts you had previously seen. I found it strange but assumed it was extreme luck. It makes much more sense now." Butler Fin orated."Besides, you aren't a true weapons master. If you were, your affinity wouldn't only be with the sword." Butler Fin continued. Ray kept mute, opting to say nothing and waiting patiently for his master to continue."You didn't have a baptism by chaos. This baptism was usually done on their home world. Their sacred treasure, 'Kerith', was an origin divine artefact capable of bestowing this blessing. Strangely enough, only Weapon Masters could undergo the bapt

"So many interesting things happened while we were away. Mommy is sorry she wasn't there for you." Alexis gently stroked Mane's hair as she apologised for her absence in their child's life. Although Ray wasn't mentioned, it was implied that he was included in the apology."It doesn't matter" Mane replied with a bright smile on his face. "At least you are here now", the blonde haired boy continued. Mane leaned into his mother's embrace as he spoke. Since his awakening, Alexis had abandoned her chair and joined him on his bed. Using his headrest as her back support, she lent her frame to her son to use instead. And Mane's large smile showed just how pleased he was with the current situation."You are very mature" Alexis stated the obvious as a bitter smile adorned her lips. She wasn't sad because her son was now mature in his dealings. Rather, she was quite pleased with the development. Her only regret was that she wasn't there to see it happen. She wasn't in the process

In a land far from the Western Empire, which neither sees light nor rain, a lone figure sat on a polished rock. His expression was haggard, reminiscent of one who had exhausted every bit of energy in every fibre of his being. If one wanted to know the true meaning of exhaustion, they could just look at his face, and peer into his eyes. His eyes were green, an even rarer colour than Mane's sky blue pearls. They acted as the only source of light in this man forsaken place. This was 'The Deep'. One of the forbidden zones in Zandor. It was famed for its cruelty in returning all who entered as heaps of skin and bones to its outskirts. This land was a great mystery. Unlike other forbidden areas like the Forest of Gloom that provided reasons for their danger, this one did not. Anyone who dares venture into the Forest of Gloom was aware of the dangers it had. Many kingdoms, and even the Four Empire Coalition had given up on exploring that land because the beasts that resided in it were too

"I need to recover fast. Even if it is to my prior state before the attack, it will suffice. I know his secret now. Although they seem to have no enmity against me, I must still be on guard." He began to walk deeper into the cave as he spoke. But even this task proved difficult. His steps were slow, and his breathing strained. Dyspnoea wasn't the only thing he was battling against, for maintaining his balance as he moved was another war he was embroiled in- one that he was losing horribly. After stumbling for the third time in just a matter of seconds, he finally decided to use the walls of the cave for support. Utilising this makeshift railing, he slowly made his way deeper into the cave."But for now, it seems we have a common enemy. They must surely know about Seth now. Once the Brute King killed the Assassin Head, he knew this." Amidst batted breaths, the solitary figure matched on. Normally he wouldn't be so sure that Ray would know about Seth. After all, it was hard to

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

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
