After saying that mantra in his heart, Bayo took in a large breath as he tried to calm his nervous heart. His body shook involuntarily as cold sweat broke out on his skin. When last had it been that he had willingly walked to meet any Ascender?
He had never done it, if he could remember. The other time that he had come as close as that was when he was new to the Seven Heavens and he had met the Seventh Born who had tried to assimilate him right there and then. He would have been history now, if not for the sake of the appearance of the Second Born, Vela, who had come in the way of things and saved him.
In fact,the way she went about it had set his heart ablaze. About how he wanted to be that powerful. Powerful enough to make the others fear him.
But never for once did he think he would carry himself to meet any o
Hehe. Time to call back on old favors.
In the times of the present such as this, we know of the measures that have been placed in motion. The killjoy plan of killing each and every Ascender out there by the Ascender Extermination Force has already been put into motion. And as we know of it, some Ascenders have already been hunted by the Irunmole Society and have, as we speak, been destroyed, wiped out from existence. That or they have them in custody, hoping to learn something from them from what Trixius the Great plans to do. We know of the 13th born who escaped from the bounds of their detention camps and then chased after the First Born consistently with the aim to assimilate him. If she had been successful with her mission, perhaps, our focus would be on her, as the owner for the First born essence now. By definition
“Spyder, how come I did not sense you? You just happened to pop out of the blues. And from what you said, you had to find out that I was one to something, which meant that you were actually around for a while, right? “ “Well, yes. I masked my presence. “ She flatly replied. “H-how? I was still able to sense you , right?” Bayo asked. “Well, that is because I was using my abilities to track this mister here. If not for that, then you would not be able to sense me at all. Heh.” She lit up now, shooting up from the ground and jumping forward till she was only inches from Bayo. “If you are that curious in how I did it, I could actually teach you, Mister First Born. I could teach you, on the grounds that you forgive me for bailing out then? Right?” She smiled.<
The Familiars are not a race of helpless people. Like you must have been led to believe. We are not just some people who do not have the means to protect ourselves when it really comes down to it. Although for the reasons best known to us, we would most likely prefer that we stay out of every conflict, if possible. If there are ways that diplomacy has been used in more ways than we could count, it is the offer of the materials which are produced in the forges of the Familiar Realms. These items have been instrumental in making even the most bloodlusted being to turn away from the realm, thus ushering an age of global peace to everyone Familiar. However, in the most realistic terms, there are times when these measures do not often come to work. Here are times when even those who would have been given the best gifts would always think they could get to ha
First Wave Signs. When does the Wave begin? Is there some kind of meter to determine when it is that a wave would start in so much that the entire Heavens is motivated to get set on whatever they have to do to defend their lands against the horde of demons? Certainly, thee have been signs, even if we do choose to act like we do not get to see these signs but there are glaring enough for us to pcij them out. It is only those who didn't get to be properly equipped that oftentimes would have to feel the brunt of the Wave right against themselves. Then they would ahave no wone to blame but themselves for not getting set when others are getting busy and preparing against the wave. The first signs of the wave. First of a
It had been some time since Ronke had returned back from the Elemental soul gem. On her return, her mood seemed to have improved, far better than what it had been. And in that light, she had called for a meeting with the Elders. Or rather, a meeting in the war room. A meeting to strategize on what had to be done in the town for them to survive the oncoming wave. The Ascenders, along with Hana, had been doing pretty well so far. At least since they had taken that stand against Abiola, the Familiar had left them on the account they left no trouble for him to deal with. After all, it was his city. And that was one thing either of them were unwilling to dispute. Not when Ronke seemed to be up to something now. The days had gotten darker, over the while. The sounds
“What?” Series of grunt and shocked responses cut across the choked up, dark room at the proclamation from Ronke. “What are you saying?” The Fire Elder said, his eyebrows furrowed. “Are we saying that we have to go to Earth now?” The Earth Elder said. “Ah haha..” Abiola scoffed. “Finally, you realize her incompetence, now.” “What are you saying?” Bayo asked, confused at this. “Wait, she may have a point.” Hana said, folding her hands across her chest as she was eualy confused as well. “I don’t get this at all.” Shin complained. “If we aren't fighting the wave, then why are we are here?”” The Fire Elder said as he slammed his han
“Hey, you did great!!~” Bayo called out to Ronke just as soon as the crowd dispersed from the war room. They too, had left the room now, both of them walking down on the stairs of the Town hall into the open day light airs. The weather was serene, everything seemed perfect, and Bayo wished that it could go on forever. But then, it would be foolhardy to imagine that. That the day was like this did not mean that the Longer SunDowns which they had been having would go away. The occasional grunts and roars that seemed to come from the belly of hell itself would not stop. All Things being equal, there was going to be a wave and they had to be ready for it. His hopes be damned. “I know.” She said to him, her face still having that ever present smile on it. “Ronke, look at
Bayo paused after he had been a sufficient distance from the Town hall and away from the presence of Ronke. He looked back, over his shoulders, a scowl on his face. ‘I don’t need you guys to follow me.” He said to the Hadjans behind him. “Okay!” Shin said and then turned around, his hands dipping into his pockets as he kicked dust and began to walk off. “I-erh… who said I was following you?” Hana stammered, frowign intensely at him. Bayo turned around now, his right eyebrow cocked as he watched her twirl her fingers, her head fixed to the ground. “WHy are you acting like you are having the blues?” Bayo asked, his eyes on her. ‘W-what d-do you-you mean?” Haan queried, her elb
