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
Back to Ronke. Friendly emidner that we are some chapters fromt eh end of this Book 2. Its been a fun ride so far. Thank you.
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
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
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
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
