The Prince of Ancients and the Dark Spear
Last Updated:
2021-12-30 01:31:51Time worked in different ways. For some it led to progress, whilst for others time robbed them of everything. Some had it both ways, but whichever one came last was the true defining factor for them – progression or robbery. However those with their destinies already written in the stars always experienced the most turbulent of eras. Their fates were never set in stone. Succeed at what fate had touted its horn that you would do and you would be remembered for all eternity. Fail, and you would be forgotten. Even if you were remembered, it wouldn’t be the kind of memory you would hope people have of you. A man with such destiny was the Prince of Ancients, Dan.
The mysteries of the Dark Valley were plentiful, so much so that each of the Three Great Races had their own agendas and beliefs concerning the place. For the Ancients, their strongest belief was that a powerful weapon was hidden in the Dark Valley. This weapon was believed to possess unprecedented power, and

Back in Intersection, Waska and Rasa were getting ready to depart. The details of their departure were simple: find the boy and bring him back if possible. If capturing him was impossible, kill him. With the two Flames of Magma were three Elders who were all in the Pseudo Phenom Realm. And one of them was even a Peak Pseudo Phenom. Magma was really holding nothing back to capture Mane.“The report reaching us is that he is in Amalgamation now,” Rasa informed Magma as he polished his blade in his final preparations.“Yes. Apparently he went to the Forest of the Gods first before making a beeline towards Amalgamation. We don’t know how long he will stay there, but I reckon that it wouldn’t be for long” Waska was loading a few supplies onto his mount as he spoke.“Bring him back the first chance you get,” Magma ordered simply and left, not bothering to see his men off all the way to the gates. He needed to tell the Pr

“Do you think that he’s still going to come? It’s almost midnight!” Lam paced anxiously around his sister’s bedroom and said. Pacing next to him in a comical fashion was Silver who just seemed to like causing mischief. Lam’s eyebrows raised in annoyance upon noticing the monkey walking by his side, trying to imitate his gait.“Come back here Silver,” Lily ordered the stubborn monkey return to her side when she saw that Silver was getting on her brother’s last nerve.“Maybe he’s forgotten?” Lam asked. Although Lily didn’t necessarily say anything, she was inclined to agree. After all, it was a bit too late. They were all staying at Ancestor Pier’s house, and the old man never slept early. He didn’t really need sleep actually. He only did it for pleasure, not rest. So they didn’t think that Mane whose understanding of Edict was so high wouldn’t know that a Phenom didn&rs

Just like how the three Great Races had their own capitals, humans also had their capital. The difference between the two was that humans were so divided that they even fought amongst themselves and didn’t try to band together, mainly because they didn’t know about the Three Great Races. However, the most capable city was undoubtedly their capital. And over the past few years, this capital had been moving, mobilizing men and women and pulling warriors into their ranks. They swallowed cities and towns that Elementals had infiltrated long before they came along, and tried to pool the humans together. It hadn’t reached the level they hoped it would reach by now, but their plans were progressing nicely. This was a city hidden to the ignorant and feared by those who craved power for themselves. This was…The Citadel!The Citadel was a large city. It was much larger than Amalgamation and Intersection combined and multiplied by a factor of ten! One co

Turbulence and chaos were the hallmark of change. Before change could be effected, there must be rebellion. People were naturally resistant to change, whether good or bad. Everyone was entitled to a difference of opinion. However, it was usually the opinion of the masses that counted. For they made up the bulk of the world. But this wasn’t always so. For the powerful could ignore the words of the masses. They could disregard the thoughts and feelings of the entire world even if it meant they were in the wrong. That was the benefit of power. That was the truth of strength. Strength was disregarding. It cared for nothing and no one but the one who possessed it. And it had every right to. For weakness was meant to be trampled upon; to be molded into strength.The year was 101A; 101 years after the apocalypse. The apocalypse started like any other apocalypse – by human hands. And the prime culprit was the Emperor of Darkness. A man who was also known by the titles Bea

Why were the gods so fearful of the 7th Supreme? Why did they fear the boy so much that his parents had to send him away? Why did they leave him stranded on the lonely planet of Zandor? Why did gods of such prestige and power like Ray and Alexis have to resort to such a means? And why did the Olympians and Asgardians – pantheons of great power and authority – have no choice but to stand aside, bidding their time and building up an army for the boy? Why? Why? Why? Why did they have to humble themselves so? To the point where even some of them were against keeping the boy alive for they feared for their lives as well. What could possibly cause one to conceive the thought of killing one of their family?FearFear was the driving force for many of the decisions people made. Just like determination was a powerful driving force, fear was also a powerful driving factor. And fear was the reason why the gods sought the head of the Supreme. There were too

As Odin moved through the serene space of the galaxy he had discovered – well, Mimir had discovered – his eyes took pleasure at the grand sight he was beholding. Several lights shone from so far away that they looked like several grains of sand. These were Primordial Stars; stars which had just been birthed and remained untainted by the Beings of the Universe. Their energy was so pure that Odin could feel himself being refreshed every second and every minute.“I could get used to this,” Odin could understand why Mimir had chosen to hide here. Because there was no life yet born in this galaxy, it was easy to pick out the only one there was. It was like a beacon of light in a dark corner of the world; easy to see and simple to detect. And from that aura Odin felt a pressure that was nonexistent before. The God of Wisdom’s aura was much stronger than it was before. Clearly he had benefitted a lot from this place. After all, he had monopolized the re

The Norse Gods told of a story; a story of the end of times. They told of a time when their lineage will end; their blood dispersed to the furthest ends of the Universe – the Ragnarok. For millennia they had been trapped under its curse, fated to die by the hands of beings of destruction and be reborn only moments after. It was because of this dastardly curse that they who had been born long before the times of the Origin Divine Artefacts hadn’t mastered the power to go against them. For their constant birth and rebirth left them weak and unimpressive. Yet that curse had been broken by the one called Odin, granting him the title of Allfather. They grew stronger and finally had the power worthy of beings who had been born in the early years of the formative Universe.Ragnarok was known only to the Norse. The other Pantheons had their own trials, and they called them by other names. But they had not faced their trials yet, and they did mock the Asgardians for their fa

Eternals loved to hide. They were like moles that hid in the soil below. And it was difficult to find them without help from one of their own. Eternals had many Legends, yet only a few remained now. One of these few was the one known as the Cold Emperor; the Eternal called Winks. Winks was a man who had lived many years. He had seen several eras come and go, and he had served under many Supremes. Over the many years he had remained alive, watching his friends and family die and his life gradually lose its meaning, he had changed in a lot of ways. He had grown from a playful child, to an optimistic teen and then to an adult who had experienced the harsh realities of the world and had grown disenchanted with it. Yet there was one thing that had never changed. There was one thing that remained the same no matter what happened to Winks.His loyaltyHe may be the reigning Emperor of the Eternals, but he hadn’t forgotten his vow to the Supremes. No matter what he became, h

“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
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

“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
