Node’s eyes slowly opened, drooling from his mouth.
“Huh?”
On seeing Peirce awoken and Sniffia still tightly hugging him, his face brightened up while laying on the sand without lifting his body, he was too lazy to move,
“well, well, well, what do we have here? A boy back from the dead.”
Peirce was totally confused, he looked around, only the twinkling of the stars were visible on the cloudless skies, he looked at where he was gripping onto the soft sands beneath his palms lightly illuminated by the twinkling stars as he regarded nothing but dimmed sands around them.
He glanced at Node laying on the sand half asleep.
“W-where… are we?” Peirce slowly enquired.
Sniffia broke the hug, “We are on our way back to Grandma, of course!”
Node sprung his upper body up from Sniffia’s shout, as his long black hair were disheveled with sands.&nb
Peirce stared at the sky, what I’m I…? Who I’m I…? The reasons with the chest pain; my heart suddenly beating this fast, What will grandma say to me in times like this?... I really miss her.All of these thoughts raged on Peirce’s mind over and over again.He was lost in his own reflections.Node scratched his chin, stared at him as he spaced out. Was the truth too hard on him?Sniffia lowered her head while dusting the sand on her disheveled blond hair and ears. Ugh! This sands are starting to get on my nerves! Then she glanced at Peirce.“… Peirce...” Sniffia called Peirce out from his thoughts. “You only went into a deep sleep that's all to it… just like the other day without ever resting you carried me on your back to the village however this time around your deep sleep was longer, your heart stopped and that really scares me.” She emphasized.Peirce after
Sniffia squinted her orange venomous little eyes glaring it at Lazarus, to her all Lazarus was were unveiled in his character as a sly, dishonest and a troubled old man;Gosh… that eyes of hers remind me of a certain woman. He blinked, stared at Peirce. How is he coping around such frenzied girl?Lazarus sighed.“Yeah… that will do.” Lazarus stared at each and every one’s eyes, he continued. “I’m Ojinwuo Lazarus the Shadow Inhumane as you all know and how I got to have my iconic name… I trained harder than any other Inhumane out there and master the way of the glow.”“The way... of the glow?” Both Peirce and Node thought out.“Yeah, the way of the glow as an Inhumane, is by shaping the glows on the body then materializing it as a weapon of choice just like mine,” he glowed only on his arms then materialized the black glow into a wrist reaper on both h
Sniffia and Node tilted their head side ways. Torzillas... a desert beast after us… For what reason?Immediately, Peirce held their hand and ran.“I will tell you everything you know however we need to be alive to talk about them! Isn’t it?!” He said as he was already near Lazarus running.“Old Mister! How come they are after us, do you steal anything from them? Or…?” Peirce asked staring at the egg around Lazarus’ arm.Lazarus was first startled on how fast the teenagers could be. Unknowingly to him they were all steered by Peirce’s unfathomed speed on the sand.“I steal nothing, child but burrowed this!” He said, showing the teenagers the large egg in his arms as they ran. Node eyes widened. “And child, I’m not an Old Mister, are you provoking the Shadow Inhumane? Did you forget my name already?”Peirce only grinned as he faced his front runni
The drenched scenery in the woods was varnished with slashes, craters, trees debris and the tied large sacks of diamonds collected from the Bounty collector laid perfectly on the ground, invoked Azra and Aguda to inspect who or what did all these and why to Aghogho and every other Expat who betrayed them at the city of the bounty hunters; the sacks of diamonds here only means it was never a theft got wrong making every questions asked directed to why?Staring at Aghogho’s cold body amidst the piles of body on the bloody floor and on the branches of the trees round about them, Aguda walked around heavily until his legs slowly failed him, though they were the ones who broke the trust and loyalty between them however the Expats laying before him were once beings he called friends and that could never change the good memories he had with them.His big body fell with a knee and a lowered face dispirited also appeared to be praying for the deceased.Behind
Meanwhile at the Humane Kingdom’s Palace was seated on the throne King Randall glancing at the Divine Humanes before him with two unrecognized beings kneeling, few Royal Guards in blue cape stood around the corners of the throne room.After being told to the king of everything that happened on retrieving Jared as the Divine Humanes encountered the Bounty Collector’s henchwomen and henchmen by Gage along with Dante and who the Revealers truly were by June. He sighed, the king had been through a lot within those days too; He lost the Divine Humane of strength to the hands of an entity outside this world, the kingdom was invaded by the Male Aurorae after all it was predicated to the public as Lady June mentioned; startled by the child he’d have soon and his beloved birthed female child who may be married into the Nymphs sooner than expected was named the protector of the world by two mysterious creatures who identified themselves as th
Frankenstein observed the cavern he was in as the stained bandages were been unwrapped from his lightly regenerating body by an assistant in the sect and another holding a looking glass.He stood with a thought of indebtedness while staring at his reflection, every part of his regenerating body were scalded as though it was exposed to a terribly hot steam with little or no hair on his scalded head, he won’t have survive the clash against the sudden blazing green light however he was favorably saved by beings who he'd called his patrons then his eyes widened, looked at Dryad’s uncle at the doorway staring back at him.“We need the boy!” He cried, Dryad’s uncle didn’t say a word as he stared into the redness of his eyes then Frankenstein continued, “His cells is the key for the soon to be creepers to keep their sanity, trust me, he is the completion of project liberation.”Dryad’s uncle gently came
“… By thinking too much about life, is it a bad thing? And By trying to make it better, is it a good thing?...” Beth could hear those distinct words of Randall’s coming from the top of the belfry as she climbed up the stairs. On getting to the top, she stood in front of the rust-covered bell while staring at Randall in his Royal dress without his cape standing in an opened area of the belfry, a space where no one could see from the ground but the person above could see clearly what was below. The belfry was located just outside the kingdom, built on the grassy grounds decades ago, now it was like a fossil which was still maintained and furnished by the king himself with beautiful flowery of various sizes sprouting wildly on the antiqued walls and floors whereas outside the hardened watchtower the fragrances windswept those flowers which travels around the place and the nostrils of every being that walked by. She exhaled and inhaled before
Upon the bonfire the five mysterious figures were spotted, the fifth one sat on the shoulder of the biggest figure among the five just as strong wind blew across the village.The flames from the bonfire beacons on the five mysterious figures under the cloudy night, cladded in white robes and masks on their face, having a rune engraved on each of their mask except the one seating on the shoulder; The whole face was wrapped exposing only dried mouth and eyes. Making one wondered, how in the world were they standing in the large prepared fire without getting themselves inflamed?! Lazarus eyes widened, the mysterious beings before him gave off a familiar vigors.“They are… the bounty collector's underlings… how do they know…? Was I being followed?” He swiftly rolled his eyes around recollected they’d be more of them hiding in the shadows preparing for an onslaught against their mark.Sniffia held her dagger
The air around was icy grip with tension. Wren facing off against the two-faced creature for the first ever lesson she could get from the Immortals. The dimly lit chamber, once a grand palace materialized into new architecture, revealing an arena, a vast and rugged expanse, consisting of various obstacles looming on one corner. The towering walls of rough-hewn stones enclosed in strong breeze. Deep, yawning chasms that seemed to swallow all light and sounds of a really large sparring terrain of solid grounds as shrinking shadows closing in like a suffocating shroud. The two-faced creature eyes blazing with an otherworldly hunger, sneering at Wren as the palace changed in the background. “I’ve witnessed your skills so many times.”“Witness?” Wren asked then noticed her clothes were modified into distinguished fighting clothes. “Yeah. I was also there when you froze up a dust devil—but I’m not impressed. Yet.” The two-faced creature sharpened fangs elongated as red-mist strongly ooz
Strange air filled with a redolent, unworldly fragrance, veiled with darkness while walking through the portal, soon shimmering hues of gilt red-yellow seen at the end of what it looks like a well crafted tunnel appeared to only trapped the darkness from within and no furthermore.Entering into the light would stung the very eyes of every first timer there, revealing a large courtyard, the estranged walls whispering ancients secrets to those who listened close, glittering towers sets as the full foundation, casting a warm, gentle glow of what looked like a hidden palace’s architecture blended in ancient civilizations. The young queen at the center of it all doing nothing but mesmerizing the timeless beauty of the place. It was here she would undergo her training surrounded by the wisdom and potency of the Immortals. “You are here-Welcome, the Protector.” An impassive low yet mysterious voice echoed, filling the courtyard with it’s grace. Wren tracing it to a raised dais overlookin
Beautiful starlight flashed amazingly through the gaps of moving darkened clouds above as almost deafening silence intruded the scene below. Sidikat, stood unmoved staring sharply to Peirce distance away from her front, shortly after, Lazarus appeared along the two little beast being girls walking behind with side looked eyes. “Excluding my daughter, who are those two boys… sons of your friend?” Asked Sidikat. “No. I—" Lazarus stuttered. “I know everything alright, I’m just—” She zoomed to Peirce, clawed her fingers tightly around Peirce’s neck. She was so fast that none of them couldn’t move even for Lazarus. “Now tell me the reason why I shouldn’t claw out your wide pipe right at this very moment, destroyer of worlds?”“Windpipe?! How dare you!--” Node yelled strained grunted exacting with all his strength to stand upright. “Stupid. Trying really hard to look tough. Look around, I’m really getting annoyed with that attitude of yours, boy with long hair-- among my daughter and
Lazarus, heaping from trees to trees towards the assorted loud noises coming from many distance away as the two beast being little girls surprisingly keeping up the pace without breaking a sweat just behind Lazarus. Hmmm… Lazarus said to himself, sighted monsters of the forest of the Giants’ domain below racing to the exact location the loud sounds were coming from.Meanwhile. Unexpectedly, purple glowing objects swatted the eyes of the mysterious being’s face at the center as the side faces rolled their eyes, spotted Node staring intently, holding onto four glowing stones under the large root's shades dimly illuminated in purple. “That’s for only focusing on my glowing ass… Maniac.” Peirce flew with a kick towards the blinded centered face. The large mysterious being heavily took a step forward with a slam into the battered ground. The ground cratered as shock waves were created from the impact affecting Peirce’s momentum bouncing him back by the force about colliding into a reall
Node smirked raised his glowing purple eyes at the large figure, blood still dripping down his nose uncontrollably while shielding the fist of the large mysterious being. “You are talking… to the wrong beings… sucker…” he looked at Sniffia. “You know… foxy… we ain’t going to run or wait every single time for you… to come save our glowing asses.. after all the vigorous training we have done so… far… isn’t that right Peirce?...”Peirce nodded his head. “Chai… it’s better to fight for something than to live for nothing, my grandma told me that--I want to run away so badly however…” Peirce glowing eyes silted squeezing his glowing green arms. “Not anymore…”The mysterious being laughed so hard it echoed through the forest. “--what could little insects like you three do-- defeat me…?! I’m trying to achieve big things here, allowing you little things to bother me will be a waste of power,” the eyes on each faces of the large mysterious being all gaped at Peirce in an closed up expressio
Lazarus, many distance away heaping from branches to branches deep towards the southern part of the forest. He’d paraded the whole forest for weeks thinking how he would meet his wife and today was the D-Day so he thought then he stopped, standing on one of the large branches, aware from miles away something or someone racing to his direction but at great speed. He signaled the two girls behind him to lay low who Sniffia persuaded to follow him then they all swiftly landed to the ground facing the direction head on and at alert of what was racing towards them judging it might be another creature of the forest. Hmmm. Lazarus squeezed his hands tightly, here we go again. He said to himself. Suddenly four bulky boys with red bushy hair, clothed in forest of the creature’s hide halted some distance away fixating at Lazarus and the two now gnarling girls.Lazarus took a step forward. “We don’t want any trouble here, so go do your business as we have no business to do with the likes of
A month before, during the time when the Humane kingdom was frozen to its core. Many miles away, Abbey, effortlessly avoided the sudden terrain of mountain glaciers enveloped wildly in his blue lightning before it was discharged down to the frozen soil. He stood still on the icebound ground, cold vapor exhaling from his mouth. None of all these were new to him while staring from afar however the huge mountains of sturdy ice stood highly round about him, blocking his view then with a slight, faint sigh looking up to the sky, he was about moving; maybe he was worried about his wife and child, maybe not. No one knows what was in his mind at that very moment.At that very moment a fragrant smell strongly filled the air. “Sorry for keeping you waiting, Abbey from the main family of the house of Ida, a family known to be the greatest trainers there is or should I say the last male survivor from the main family that could god-willingly tame even an entity as great as a Dragon?” a disembod
The metallic door of the King’s chamber slowly opened inward as Randall went in quietly, he saw within the dimly aqua lit crystal on the table near it, a seated half shadowed woman, crossed leg on a chair in iconic blue royal dress fashioned with pearls and jewelries of different sizes, having a mystifying yet darker blue eyes than Wren’s that evenly glowed in the dark.Randall only stood, fixated at the woman. The overflowed aura coming from her were so immensely formidable that it was only labeled to equal the King of the Humanes himself. She is none other than; ‘The Queen of the Deep.’ Or ‘The Queen of the Water Nymphs.’“How is Beth?” She firstly asked unmoved.“… She’s fine,” Randall walked around as he hand picked two glassed beakers on his small book shelf then took a filled bottle of wine, “actually she’s in pain knowing Wren was taken by the Immortals.”“Taken? Your choice of word there sounds like she was absolutely captured not the other way round.” Her dimples appeared.
The atmosphere of misery floes left behind by the presence of sharp cold air, the rumblings, the crumbling of huge Mountains of glacier extending throughout the continent, colossal icicles spreading across the whole Humane kingdom and far changes the whole regions in seconds as snows, hales rained down on the frozen permafrost causing uncontrollably shivering to the bones of every single being present which only few could endure. "Ugh! W-why won’t my p-potency work?! I-I’m the main c-character for g-goodness’ s-sake!" Jangnap shivering, half frozen, upside down caught in one of the large mountains of glacier at an extremely high height, his frosty clothes drawn off almost covering his face, Damn, why isn’t my potency working! He yelled in his mind trying all his possible best to remove himself from the strange icy entanglement. Suddenly lemon feathers were seen wobbling down around him then one landed on his nose. He blew it away with a sneeze then blinked thinking it rains feathe
