True Eyes Part I
Last Updated:
2021-01-12 20:37:54“Why are you giving this to me?” Mane was excited to hear her words. He became a wielder because he needed the strength to protect his family. But like every other being blessed with intelligence that was above average, Mane sought to study everything the world had to offer. From the very first day he had learned about scholars, Mane had set it as his goal to become one. Yet he didn’t have the material to embark upon this unique path. Now he did.
“Don’t worry. I am not going to ask you to take me as your master. You can consider it a gift- a first meeting gift.” Ananse’s pleasant voice assured Mane that she didn’t want anything from him. She knew what the boy was weary of. He was smart- people didn’t give anything for free. He needed reassurance that she wouldn’t ask anything of him after giving him the manual.
“Besides, if I hadn’t given it to

Mane would have been surprised to find out that she even knew about his masters. Although Mane had promised that he wouldn’t inform anyone about their meeting, his masters weren’t dumb. The storage orb would be kept in Mane’s mind scape- a realm they had established themselves in. Although most of the masters didn’t know about her, one of them did. He would be able to smell her aura from the orb. Although she could dull the senses of most, this master was in a mind scape. It was a domain outside her control and only under the authority of the owner- Mane. She couldn’t wipe her aura from the orb either, for doing so will tamper with it. So the only option was to let Mane absorb all the knowledge here. That way, he wouldn’t have to take the orb with him. After a minute, the struggling boy finally calmed down. The pain that held him prisoner was gone, and all the information had been transferred. He opened his eyes after a while.

There was no mirror in this strange space; everything was white and bright, with no other color sharing in their radiance. Mane didn’t have anything he could use to check his reflection. There was no way he’d be able to see what they saw. Besides, the changes in his eyes had disappeared; they were back to normal now.“Have you ever heard the myth of the True Eyes?” Ananse asked. After Mane’s eyes returned to their normal color, Indra was finally able to pull himself out of his dazed state. He stood on the side and allowed Ananse to have her chat with Mane.“No, I haven’t. Do you care to enlighten me” Mane politely requested. “Since I asked you about it, I would naturally be willing to tell you about it.” Ananse nodded. She waved her hand, a movement that led to the appearance of three spotlessly white chairs in the already plain space. It was an action that

It wasn’t the same as being a god. Every god clan had its own stories about its origins and their vast history. And in all of their tales, almost none of them started out as humans. Even the primordial gods had different shapes and structures. It was only after several millions of years that gods had evolved to possess human bodies. It was impossible for them to accept that something that had happened to them after millions of years, had just appeared out of thin air in the form of an origin divine artefact. Indra was certain that if the other gods were to hear about this, most would lean towards the theory of the Absolute Ruler, rather than believe that this artefact occurred naturally. Their pride wouldn’t allow it.“I think you should continue your story.” Mane reminded. Ananse didn’t refute his statement, only nodding her head and doing as she was told. “As I mentioned earlier, this king was human- in

“He did choose successors in the end, but they weren’t origin divine artefacts. It was this decision- the decision not to choose a successor from his own people- that led to the Great War of Order and Chaos” Ananse finished.Mane could pretty much guess what happened next. The Origin King was powerful. His power over the space-time law made him invincible, allowing no one to question his wisdom and authority. Because of the King’s great power, his subjects were obedient during his reign. There was peace. So even polar opposites like the Book of Order and the Flames of Chaos were kept silent due to the King’s presence.Once this deterring factor was gone these natural enemies went after each other’s throats. Although they were generals under the reign of the King, they only got along because of the Origin King. Since origin divine artefacts can live forever, they never considered i

“Eternals are a race of immortals. Unlike other races, they are born with an insane amount of vitality, making it possible for them to live forever, even without any power to rely on.” Indra answered. Although he thought it strange that the Supreme didn’t know about Eternals, he didn’t mind answering the question. Besides, with how knowledgeable Mane was about other matters, the only reason he wouldn’t know about Eternals was if someone was preventing him from gaining access to that information. But Indra didn’t believe in hiding the truth from Mane. And he reckoned that Ananse didn’t mind his words either. If she did, with her powers as a scholar, she would have taken his words out of his mind before he could even speak.“Indra is right. Eternals are such a race. Normally they are weak. But when a Supreme appears, they grow very strong.” Ananse added. Mane was fascinated by what he was

And listening to Ananse right now, Mane knew it was because his True Eyes hadn’t truly awakened. When they did, he would become a genius time wielder.“I’m going to assume that you are telling me this so that I can prepare myself, aren’t you?” Mane squinted his eyes and questioned the goddess before him.Ananse only smiled in response. “Prepare you for what?” Indra asked as he flicked his hair.“You only mentioned the first users of this powerful eye bloodline, but you didn’t speak of the next few who wielded this power. So I am certain of a few things. The eyes do not truly belong to those who inherit it. And two, all those who got their hands on them are dead.”Ananse smiled faintly upon hearing his words, a smile that only Mane could see. Indra didn’t have such a privilege. She didn’t deny or

There was another reason behind Mane’s understanding, which was his very own experience when he was just 6 years old. It was the first time that Mane had been sucked into a whirlpool of bloodlust. When he was just 6, he had unleashed his aura on his class teacher at the time, Mr. Aikens. He had lost himself in the darkness of rage, and was only pulled out through the combined efforts of the 3rd and the 8th. It was at that time that he learned of the god known as Cronos. This god had control over the laws of time. This was a god who was bound to laws of time. His connection with this law was so great that the clock of eternity, a divine artefact, bound to him on its own. Although it wasn’t an origin divine artefact, the clock of eternity was a powerful tool. For it to choose a master meant that it had to submit to that master. And Cronos was the only one in history, to have made such a mark. His masters informed him that his plight

“This…?” Mane stuttered in disbelief. How was it possible for him to breakthrough so easily? He just said a few things and his strength had already grown by such a large amount.“Surprised?” Ananse smirked playfully. Mane was stunned for a while looking at her grin. She was very charming indeed. He shook his head and asked, “How did I breakthrough so quickly? Even for me this is too fast”.Indra looked at the two- goddess and godling suspiciously. Before, their figures were blurry and their voices unheard. But he could see them just fine now, and he could hear their voices clearly enough. He could feel that Mane had changed, but he couldn’t pinpoint the reason for the change. It wasn’t surprising that he couldn’t. Scholars were able to cloud the senses of most, so even when they broke through it was still impossible to read through their energy signature.

“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
