2024-10-29 19:42:56The 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

Ascenders: Rising To Hero 178. Signs of the Demon Wave
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
Ascenders: Rising To Hero 179. The War Room
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
Ascenders: Rising To Hero 180. The War Room II
“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
Ascenders: Rising To Hero 181. Ronke and Bayo's Argument
“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
Ascenders: Rising To Hero 182. New Form; Ancestral Familiar
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
Ascenders: Rising To Hero 183. Ronke's Love Confession
The people of the Familiar Realms are the most illustrious people you would ever meet in all the seven heavens. Once they set their minds into doing a particular thing,there is only very little that does come in their way of stopping them. It doesn't matter what it is that would be in their path, once they set their minds on something collective, they seemed to be at the point where nothing could ever come to deter them. It was this spirit that kept the Town afloat and metamorphosed realms of scared villagers into what it is now. It was this spirit of togetherness that had helped to keep them relevant in the happenings of things in the entire Seven heavens even though they had very little energy to show for it. It Was this ability of theirs that did set them apart from their counterparts, the Abiku. The Abi
Ascenders: Rising To Hero 184. Calm Before the Storm
Seeing the wall rise up above the City limits set a whole different mood in the entire Realm.If they had been so happy that they had an Elemental, then now, their hearts sank as they realized the severity of the situation in which they found themselves in. It was not some far fetched dream. This was reality, the reality of things. And they would have to fight for their lands and for their lives, a whole new development from the usual helter skelter they were fond of running. Solemn airs filled the City, in and without, everyone walking and going about their business with unease. Occasionally, people would stop moving, closing their hands in a prayer, calling on the gods themselves to look into the situation and send help. Those who had talismans to help them in terms of safety went to retrieve theirs and those who wanted to purchase made sur
Ascenders: Rising To Hero 185. Believe; The Rallying Cry
KRA-ZZZZAAAAPPP! Thunder crackled, lightning flashed, the brilliance burning through the ash laden air before rapidly vanishing, kicking up a column of slow swirling dust. The dust cleared to reveal the form of Ronke, her entire body glowing with Agbara outlines of white. Her eyes had the brilliance of white in them, radiating light in miniature bursts. At her shoulders, four balls rotated slowly, one blue, one red, one white and the last one having the color of gray. She inhaled, watching the choke point as everyone went still immediately at her arrival. The balls churned with energy now, the red ball igniting into flames. The blue, reducing to a constantly swishing wave of water while dust swirled around the gey ball, the plates on it constantly revolving and moving like an overlapping jigsaw puzzle. The white

196. Fate Has Decided
No more did the noise of the crowd disturb the harmony of both Hadjans as they stood still, both of them staring at the ground. After Abiola dispersed the assembly, he had said a few parting words to the crew and then left, his head heavy in thoughts. The City was in mourning. Whether they blamed Ronke for bringing in Ascenders in or not, it did not change the fact that Ronke was gone. There was no way in the Seven Heavens that they were going to get her back. At least, not in the form she was, when she was alive. Ken and Spyder stood a while back, watching but not daring to say a thing. They had not known the crew for too long, their only actual connection being no one sles but Bayo. Now, Bayo was gone. Or rather, Bayo had gone rogue.

“He was an Ascender/” \ “How come we did not get to be told this?” “Ascenders are always evil. We know this.” “Why did you withhold this from us?” “Why Would she bring us to the services of an Ascender.?” “They say the boy was her lover?” “Is it true?” “ What is this?

I, Temi, former Asoju of the Irunmole Society and ambassador to the Draconian Confederacy hereby write, in this official statement in my defense, that I do not regret my actions so far. Nevertheless, it is not to your fault that I hold these things. I try very much not to dwell on what is past but in the same vein, the recent happenings have left me irked. So irked that I would rzae the heavens to get my vengeance. The one who cost me my pain, the Ascender and First Born of the abominations of Trixius.

193. Ronke's Gambit
Life is not one thing that is set in stone. Our fate is not set in stone. One moment, we may think we have it all but then at that same moment, Life plays its expensive jokes at our expense. There and then, the life that thought was perfect immediately takes a sour turn, making for nightmares what once thought we had. It is a pitiful tale of our own very existence but it is so that we must live. One by which we must abide in, as far as we are not gods. Even the gods themselves are fated to live lives in which they are not pleased with. What then is the confidence for us who are not even like the gods in any way? There is nothing in life, that being said, there is everything in life. Let us not think that at our best moments, we do not expect the worst. Always set out good things but then, keep a handy

“Did you know about this?” Abiola asked Ronke, mouth agape. “He is a monster.” “Yeah, that does not matter. We won.” Ronke dismissed the conversation. But on looking back, her eyes widened now. Several of the Familiars seemed stuck to even act as they stared at Bayo, standing over the gigantic mass of the Turtle Backed Sonic Beetle. She could instantly guess what they were thinking. Now, they would be putting two plus two together, making their observations about what was really happening. Holding her stomach now, she heaved and then screamed out, free hand in the air. What if they decide to turn Bayo over to seek the peace like they usually had to do/ Her Heart raced, numerous thoughts surging through them. She would have to find a way to protect him. Sh

Apart from absorbing bloodlines while you fight, what else did you notice about this battlefield/’ Yasmin asked Bayo as he flexed his fingers right in front of the Beast. The Turtle Backed Sonic Beatss was already in front of him and the form of it was indeed tremendous. Just like he had seen from a distance. It was fearsome, its huge buck tripling the confidence of the monsters as it stared at him balefully. “You Want some?” Bayo taunted. ‘Focus, Biayo.’ Yamsin Called out to him. ‘I know, I just want to say something to it. It's staring at me and making me feel somehow.’ Byao complained. The Beast in front of him seemed to study him with beastial intelligence. It remained still, pausing and waiting while its Beetle eyes

“Ah!” Ronke moaned as her body slammed helplessly against the ground. She thrust her hands to both sides, her vision hazy. Looking for something to grab onto and regain her balance. However, for each object she touched, she could only make out the soft, squished and slightly distorted forms of them. These were once living creatures. There were the bodies of the beasts which had been stuck down by the familiars so far. Pride surged in her heart but at the same time, looking on through the hazy vision of hers, she felt a bit of panic. What was Bayo up to now? “Hey, need a hand?” A voice called to her, helping her get back up. Rejuvenated by the source of the voice, Ronke summoned all of her will power as she rose, hefting

189. Stepping Up as First Born
No matter what happened here, Ronke’s plan was not foolproof. Things could always go south. It was for this reason, Hana remained jittery all through the wave. None of that they had faced up till now could prepare them adequately to face a wave. She knew that much. Despite being Lord Classed, she still felt uneasy. Somehow, something would happen. Something that was unplanned for. That was what she looked out for. The one thing she would be able to tank out with her Lord Classed Soul Strength. Law of War churned in her soul space, furiously boosting her spirits as she held her blade, tense but ready for action. She dashed to the left, slicing through, her eyes shut. Fiery aura razing into the atmosphere about her as the air heated up considerably. Her mind went ablaze, alertness level surging high. This was the true power of the Lord Class. The Class were one had a Soul Aura, the first true step in the beginning of power ascension. She opened her eyes
