The Glow That Remained Hidden
Last Updated:
2020-12-03 20:42:05"Got to hand it to you kid. You actually pulled it off" Mane walked lazily towards the door before him. He pulled a bunch of keys from his pocket and inserted one of them into the keyhole. A clicking sound was heard when he twisted the key, indicating that he had pushed in the right one. He pushed the door open to reveal what lay within- the healing springs. There were at least eighteen of them. Even royalty would marvel at the lavishness of the one to whom this belonged.
"Not necessarily. If I didn't use my glow, I wouldn't have succeeded." Mane replied to the 6th's earlier comment. He bent down to assess one of the pools. The pool was as clear as the others in the room, and seemed to give off a green hue.
"They have been restocked." Mane stated. "I wonder, when did he get this done?" It was a question to no one in particular. As for who the mystery person was, only Mane knew.
"His talent in alchemy is very high. To thi

"Man, you folks do know how to enjoy life. What a luxury" Inside the treatment room, the official and unofficial members of the Silver wolves team were each soaking in separate healing springs."I know right. Emperors would be spitting out their tea if they knew we were using healing pools for such minor injuries" Frederick chimed in. He had a relaxed and refreshed smile on his face as he soaked in the pool.Although their injuries could not really be referred to as light, no one refuted Frederick's words. On Zandor, no one- absolutely no one- would use healing springs for this purpose. Although prestigious royal families could afford the pools with almost no difficulty, enlisting an alchemist was the main challenge. They were rare and scarce. And those who were enlisted by royal families would feel insulted if asked to build a healing spring for a few bruises and fractures. Royal families wouldn't risk losing the service of an alchemist jus

Why don't you start by telling us how it is you are a spiritualist?" Abe asked."Simple. I meet the criteria. Next question." Mane answered nonchalantly."Could you be clearer with your explanations?" Abe's brows twitched in annoyance"Ok. To be a spiritualist one must have a high level of intelligence and a soul based bloodline." Mane stated."That is the norm" Selina interjected. "Don't tell me that it is false?" she continued. Over the past few days, she had learned that most of what she believed in were untrue. She wouldn't be surprised if Mane said the requirements for becoming a spiritualist were not entirely so. Maybe there was a loophole that many were unaware of."Oh they are very true. In fact, the only other way to become a spiritualist is through a bloodline transference technique performed by a spiritualist. But it is a high risk technique. Even high level Spirituali

What is chaos? Many believe that the world was born from destruction. Why? Because with death comes life. Seems like a pretty sound explanation but it has a major flaw. How can there be destruction without life? How can an inanimate object die? How can there be destruction in the first place, if there was no life? The plants wither, and the flowers fall. Eventually everything falls into the cold embrace of death. Eventually everyone, no matter how unwilling, would have to meet death. Whether you would be happy to meet the grim reaper or not, the reaper would definitely be happy to see you. Impermanence. That is what it is. The very simple fact that everything is temporary. The simple truth that nothing lasts forever. So what does destruction do? Destruction is unto life as a catalyst is unto a biological or chemical reaction. Better still, a biochemical reaction. Catalysts play a major part in life. They have several properties, the most common and important of them being their abil

"Today my daughter is finally engaged! In honour of this grand day, I serve every patron here for free!!!""YEAH!""I only ask that you join me in merry making!""YAY!"In a tavern of a large city, a middle aged man with a huge jug of ale was standing on the counter. His belly was as round as an iron pot and looked just as weighty. He had a huge smile on his face, his words sluggish and his eyes hazy. He was clearly drunk. Any sane person would have dismissed his words as that of a drunk. But the people in here were not sane now, were they? They were just as drunk, if not more. And they looked just as disoriented. Yet even those who had yet to reach their limits rejoiced at the words of the man. Why? Because he owned the tavern. If he said everything was for free, then it was."Get down father, please. You may hurt yourself." A pretty young woman who looked to be in her early twe

"So what did you come here for? I keep saying this and I'll reiterate, you know that we cannot be seen together." Loki continued to swirl the liquid that turned sane men crazy in his cup. He still made no attempt to drink it."You're not even going to take a sip?" Ares asked."Not a drop" Loki replied, still swirling the ale."You sure are one weird Asgardian. I reckon you're the only Asgardian who doesn't take any alcohol. Yet you are more insane than them all. Maybe it is a good thing you have this habit. You say it makes the sane man insane, don't you? I fear that if you ever got drunk, your insanity would be beyond us all."Loki smirked at Ares's words. "Now why don't you stop stalling for time and tell me why you are here? You have no idea how to cast the illusion leash. It's dangerous for you to be here.""It isn't called leash anymore. Apparently, it's called magic now. Ge
Last Updated : 2020-12-03Hunters: The Prequel The Eternal Monarch
"They call me the Eternal Monarch now" A fair, pretty lady was seated on a completely black throne. The hall was pitch black, with no other person in sight. Any spectator would have made the logical assumption that she was speaking to herself. After all, in this dark hall, it was impossible to see that the throne she was seated so comfortably on was glowing. Added to the fact that the throne's colour complemented that of the hall's, such a minor detail was easy to miss.The lady giggled as the throne glowed. As for what was so funny, it was between her and the object that was supposed to be inanimate, yet seemed to possess is own soul. "No Reiki. Nothing really lasts forever" the lady's chuckles ended with this statement. A sad look took its place and cast more gloom in this already gloomy room. Reiki was apparently the name of the throne she sat upon- the Eternal Throne."Yes Reiki. I do miss them. They were my parents after all" the lady o

A lone man, and an empty field. He was calm, his eyes closed as he enjoyed the serenity and peace. He took a deep breath and exhaled audibly, his breath weirdly visible on this bright and sunny day. He opened his eyes, revealing beautiful pupils- pupils that were darker than the abyss itself. He was a beautiful man, and even though he held a zweihander, this beauty wasn't hidden, only elaborated. The girl- no, woman- seated on the eternal throne gazed at the familiar figure with longing. They looked so much alike. A third person would have sworn that they were twins if not for the difference in hair colour- her black against his brown. The man was just that pretty, and the cloak that covered his physique did nothing to help his case.He readied himself as he took a fighting stance and held his zweihander in a sword draw position."Glow- Nature's cross" he mouthed. For an instant it almost seemed as if nothing had happened- and then it did. T

"I knew I'd find you here James" The King's thoughts were interrupted by the appearance of a new figure. The newcomer was a pretty lady who looked to be in her early twenties. She had beautiful black hair and rare green eyes. She held a picnic basket in one hand and a scroll in the other."Mom" the King mumbled softly. "That's strange. Mom didn't have green eyes." She continued."Hehe. Oh you brought food. That's great. I'm starving." James licked hips lips as he stared hungrily at the picnic basket."Yeah. I know a bloke like you wouldn't think of bringing food. All you think about is training." The pretty lady smiled at James, her comment causing the equally pretty man to blush slightly."Oh no!" she exclaimed. Her shout startled James who proceeded to ask, "What is it?""I forgot to pack a mat", she stated while rubbing her forehead in frustration."That isn't an issue", he orated. "

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
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
