What indeed is the right thing to do?
They say, evil thrives when good men stay back and do nothing. But is that really sufficing?
Most times, Fate plays with us all. And when Fate does, the question then to be asked is, is my next course of action reasonable?
Would it benefit me in the long run? If it wouldn't, then don't take it. But if you do take such decisions because you feel or society assumes it is the right thing to do, then, you bring yourself to irrevocable harm.
Because in the end, only you would live with the consequences of each action you make.
So then, why bother yourself with doing the right thing when your long term interest is not protected?
Even though, this may sound selfish but isn't doing the right thing because it is assumed so,even more selfish? Does society care about your feelings when you make such selfless decisions? I highly doubt.
Rather, society would want you to abide thei

Ascenders: Rising From Zero Voices In my Head
When I received the message of the Incarnations of Trixius being in the reach of the First Heavens, I did as I would be expected of.Promptly I left, together with the handpicked persons the Sect had chosen for me, down into the First Heaven to await the personification of the First of Trixius 21 one Souls, the First Born.However, what I did not expect was that The Emere would follow down there to attempt killing what was of the legacy of Trixius.To be very honest, I would have stayed in the background, observing the creature of interest whilst keeping it safe from the ever preying hordes of demons and beasts in the chaotic realm but, you would agree with me that my actions were of a necessity.Although, there is an underlying danger that word about our existence may come to limelight, of which we are not ready for the consequences, but I highly doubt that.The Emere I battled down in First Heaven, is one I would readily call a psycho
Ascenders: Rising From Zero Magmorian Outpost
Loud noise and chatters fill the air,resulting from the huge crowd on the plains. At the far end is a somewhat wall of translucent vibrant energy but unlike the one at Amnor, it does not stretch to the sky.Rather it stretches up before fading into the distance.Once more, unlike the Exotic World Bridge of Amnor which had a market some metres away from the bridge, this place has buildings clustered about a straight paved road that ends up, directly at the energy wall.However, the bridge is not in use and the very reason irritating the annoyed, chattering crowd that hang by. Some have their hands folded across their chests, muttering their vexations. Others sit on top of the luggages that are on the cart they have loaded, drinking or eating anything just to pass the time.Since over a day, the Exotic World Bridge of Amnor that connected the three heavens of the First, Second and Third, an important economic gateway that had been bl

HELLO AND GOODBYE.A wave of nausea washed over the Spirit Prime Wolf as he regained focus on his external environment. And as Bayo did, the translucent somewhat river of ethereal energy begins to thin until it finally comes to a slithery stop, spewing him out.
Ascenders: Rising From Zero 3121st Hadjan Platoon Command
A day ago, Some time before Lockdown at Amnor.The sun is high up in the air shining down on a fierce battle below, in the fields that are surrounded by a couple of tents."Hiyaaaaa…" The lady with the white hair yelled, two curved blades with navy blue hilts that glinted fiercely in the air following the curly motion of her hands as she ducked and jumped, slashing down her opponents.Her coat, the frock coat is sleeveless such that it revealed her lean blue arms that were covered up at the wrist by metal gauntlets that stopped just at the knuckles.She had double Tassets on each waist, which is another name for a waist guard that drapes down from her waist belt of black with a U-shaped head of silver. Her dowters, the elbow pads, are made of silver engraved on blue leather pads that are strung across the elbow inner bend by a white strip of cloth.The waist belt she has, binds the unbuttoned frock coat with an un-worn ho

"Uhm… Great! Now who's going to carry this dead weight?" Shin complained, hands on his waist with twisted lips."Uh… What?" Hana looked back at him, dusting her hands."I mean…" Shin stretched out his hands frantically. "Now you've knocked it out. What next? I'm pretty sure we'll have to deal with it. I'm just concerned about who has to carry it.""Oh that!" Hana turned around, with one eye closed, winking at him. "Last time I checked, I am a SwordMaster. You're the SageMaster. I kill stuff and you clean up after me.""Oh… really? I'm a SwordMaster now too." Shin complained, leaning closer but Hana merely walked past him, walking out of the counter by the doorway of sorts.Just as she stepped out, the Magmorian Madius pants out to the entrance of the door."You a-already dealt with it?" He asked, hands on his knees as he exhales and inhales immensely.But however, he is merely ignored as S

‘So… This is Magmor. I-i… I made it Jaspar b-but i didn't last long. I just can’t die now. Not now. There's so many things I don't understand yet” Bayo’s rear body staggered, left to right and back again before finally slumping down, his consciousness flickering away.Those. Those were the last words of Bayo in his conscious state.Now, all of his body had gone limp and unfeeling, dragged away by blue-skinned humanoids, all of whom were being observed by Yasmin the soul remnant.Thud!Thud!! Thud!!!In Bayo's soul space, Yasmin'sJet black shoes with a little of glitter walked carefully, slowly stepping into the watery poodle that lay in the ground. With each step forward, water dropped from the soles before then rejoining the watery surface again as the shoe touched down.Moving upwards, the shoe is highended by blue trousers, all gearing up towards a two piece coat of the eyeglasses equipp
Ascenders: Rising From Zero Breaking Protocols
"It's unlike you to be moody, Squad Captain Ronke." The wall boomed out a monotone voice.The room is mostly white, with a small horizontal parting of color blue streaking close to the ground.Closely aligned to the wall is a white bed, with white drapings and two pillows and on top of them all is the female with a milky white gown that sits tightly on her slender frame.The room is mostly bare, save for a little box of blue with silver edges just before the bed. And opposite the bed is the door that admits entrance to the room.It is the room belonging to the Captain of the Dragon Scouters, Squad number 1176, Squad Captain Ronke. Bare and having almost nothing in it, it exposed the full atmosphere that floats about the captain. Ronke lies face down on the bed, diagonally across. Her legs are crossed and her feet having black gladiator sandals on them. Her hands hug a pillow closer to her, muffling it underneath her chin. Her silky black hair flows

Ronke rolled her eyes, smiling. "Right!""I should go over to intercept them already. Hope I'll make it in time then.""If you don't report back to the CFR with the charge, you will be breaking Protocols. But... I-ill just act like I never knew a single damn thing. And you know what that means, then?You need to get done with what you have to do as soon as possible."Isaac stated just as Ronke made to leave."If that is the case, shouldn't you at least try to see if you have any personal message on your Timestream Orb?" Isaac asked. "I hate that you would be going about without knowing precisely where they are!""oh, right!" Ronke doubled back to the bed.Bending over, she tapped on the box twice, watching it project ethereal forms of various items above it.Items like bags, clothings, bottles and an orb floating in a circle."Yup, that one." She muttered, pic

Damage Inventory
And Pain.. “AAAAAGAGHHHHHH!” The huntress yelled out as the chunk of earth ripped through her back, spearing its way through her entire body, all the way from the back to the front of her. “Now, you can burn!” Ronke said and then, with a smile, she stomped her feet on the deck of the ship, willing back all of the flames that she had been keeping at bay. All of it, towards the screaming form of the huntress even as the ship began to break and scatter into bits of matter down the mountain ranges below. “Now, now." Ronke said, smiling as she willed up a gust of wind to take her off the deck as the deck finally succumbed to the head and the destruction of the flames even after it provided a dying frame for the figure of the huntress earlier. And then,the hull of something already so familiar appeared, rising above the form of Ronke. It lowered itself, a figure, which was Hana standing at the foredeck with her hand extended waiting to take the hands of

A large spike of Earth tore through the front deck of the ship, ripping through the spot that Slyka had stood in only seconds away now. The moment it ripped through,a gigantic explosion of flames burst out in the lower deck now, the entire mass of the licked up in instant flames and heat, turning out to be a massive firework in the sky. Now.... Ronke panicked. The level of destruction that she had caused with her earth spike stalling was catastrophic. She had to keep a wall of oxygen deprived air about her to keep the flames from gathering around her or ve scathing her own skin. She was not insusceptible to fire,after all, despite being able to control fire though. She was worried. But then, the worry about the CFR was the least of her concerns. After all, in the battle scene, who had to worry about what happened to the enemy. The person who did do that was the one who was willing to get himself or herself at the losing end of the whole thing. But for h

The Combat of the Air Mistress
The Hunter is a killing machine which is specifically designed for such missions of severity, they do not show emotions and have no need for that because for the missions which they are assigned for, they have to be through and effectively. Their blows need to count and so the hunters are given new identities and introduced to the quality demanding system of the CFR. WHich would mean that even their souls are inculcated and taught about the values of the Cfr. In Other Words, they live for the CFR. However,this option of being a Hunter or Huntress is always so optional and never is forced on those within or without the CFR organization. It is only for those who truly seek to unlock the next level that the Cfr holds the key to. Lest we digress, the hunter is a single entity of overwhelming force. Unless the Hunters are all occupied at the moment or the CFR wishes not to involve them, then the army of

Sure enough, there might be a choice, lurking somewhere down the alley but for the matter of time being, we are blinded to it. And thus, the inevitable is what we eventually have to come for.

Saga of the Uniquely Stupid Chimp II
‘Yeoowww’ Bayo could only scream out in his mind, mentally as his whole body went through a wreath of red hot flames. Still in the gust of the momentum of the jump from earlier, his body went on, traversing space as he crossed the distance which was between the two ships. His body was roasting and he flew tall of the what, all of his insides feeling like marshmallows now. And oh, how hot the fumes were. The mere scent of the smoke that was about was roasting his nose, smelting down all of his internal organs that dealt with smell and breathing. His body hairs kept on shrinking as they blazed, the entire mass of the Lightning Fist Chimp now reduced to a literal burning mass of meat. Panic surged through his body now as Bayo crashed down to the decking of the larger CFR ship. While he wanted to re

Saga of the Uniquely Stupid Chimp I
The feeling had been instantouse for Bayo. For him to switch into the form of an Adze all in a bit and then revert back to the form of a Familiar Prime had been all so super fast. It was something which he did not think he would have been able to achieve, without Yasmin with him. Yes, of course, he could just as easily switch his body form ,without Yasmin being involved but also, he had to consider the event of the last time. He had spoked Ronke and the rest up when he had suddenly switched into the form of a growing Familiar Prime, as a youngling. He would not want something of such to repeat itself again, especially since it was bound to be a really rough ride in a bit, being that the CFR pursuing ship had arrived. It would be best not to unsettle anyone so that they could focus on what was really necessary and pivotal to their staying in the air for longer.

The Strategist Ronke
Beside a thorough negotiation skill as one of the prerequisites for a good CFR agent, another thing is to be considered in the midst of the yet many factors about a CFR agent. While the others may be so desiring, we would stress here once again, that lethal force is not always so desired in the CFR. If there is need forreal lethal force, there is the outer Consort of the Drakonian Confederacy or even the Inner Consort of the Drakonian Confederacy Army. If need be for thorough lethal force, then the army would be duly notified. An in such case this is often out of the hand of the CFR, However, be it known that it does not undermine the quality of the Cfr. While there is this option, the CFR does have its availability of lethal force. The Guardian and her aides are entities that are capabal of hta, so unless situation has escalated more than the numerous well trained CFR agents, then, Leth

Aerial Battle Commences
Earlier… GBA MMM! A loud bang exploded now and the ship suddenly rocked to the left violently. Bayo could only growl silently in pain as his head, in reaction to the sudan movement, bounced against the wooden bar just before his head, towards the left hand side of the bed. “What happened?” ROnke and Hana shouted almost immediately as they jolted out of the cabin, looks of questioning on their face towards the one at the cockpit. Shin. ‘Well…” Shin cried out to them, his head tilted upwards, looking at something which was beyond them. “We have company and they have real mood swings.” He said, tilting to the right with the steering wheel as he attempted to stabilise the ship now. ****
