Upon the peek that held a blue hue, there were two people, a man and a woman with a striking resemblance to each other, they bore green eyes and long red hair like flames, they looked even more similar due to their attire that was blue and white like the flames that currently burned bright in this land that only knew darkness.

Tyron fell to his knees as the explosion ensued, his eyes seemed to be shedding a mighty weight as they gazed upon the structure turning to dust.

Though he looked strange, his body radiating a blue glow, his veins especially looked strange with channels filled with deadly flame, coursing through his body.

“Cough… Cough… Cough,” Tyron heaved up mouthfuls of blood and flame, oddly the intense flame took it’s time to dry up the blood.

“Holy Priest try to relax so I can heal you,” the red head woman said coming up to him, her eye’s shook with concern.

    There was a stream of light racing along an infinite path, at least that’s how things appeared. Within the light stream a small capsule was traveling as time passed it seemed to be growing smaller. Inside the capsule Reyna sat with crossed legs and tightly shut eyes, as if in a deep state of concentration. A strange circle was carved on the floor around her that she was transmitting energy too, at that moment her creased brow relaxed, and she opened her dark black eyes. “You can stop releasing energy now, we’ve reached maximum speed,” she said to her three comrade’s that were seated in the circle. The first to stop was Velma, she still hadn’t fully recovered after their battle against Raylin. As soon as she stopped releasing her energy she slumped down against the floor of the capsule and fell asleep. The bald swordsman clim

    Dalis had no idea what happened next, the world seemed to fizzle out into nothingness and even his mind went silent. “Ahhhhhhh,” he started to scream as he regained consciousness, his body felt like it was being stretched into a straw, when he suddenly felt his body scrape against something. Then bang!!!!!!! He hit the ground hard. “Cough… cough… cough!” Dalis choked as dust fluttered through his mouth and nose. “Forget bruising, I think I broke a couple of somethings,” he groaned out as he clawed at the ground, the first thing he noticed was it was solid and rough. ‘What just happened?’ Dalis suddenly paused, he was just about to think that thought, but something seemed to have beat him to it. ‘No,’ he thought shaking his head ‘My head is just a little wonky from all the craziness…’ the sound of an ex

    The tidal wave off… earth… rushed forth climbing over the buildings swallowing them whole and adding them to its increasing height. The ground shook under Dalis and lifted him, sending him flying with the child in arms, his body moved instinctively and curled around the boy, protecting him as he was flung at least a hundred meters forward. Dalis rolled to a stop and the boy tumbled to the ground in an unconscious heap. He rolled his tongue around his mouth and spat out a glob of wet dust, then he hurled the boy over his shoulder and limped down the street as he limped he noticed the cause, it was his right leg that like his hand was a bazillion times larger. He aimed the blame for his condition to that damnable vile of corrupted energy, he knew that it wasn’t safe. All around him was pandemonium, as he pulled himself along the streets, he noticed a sea of water in the d

    Zip. The winds whistled from high above down onto the city ruins, a city that had once been filled with glory, a relic on an age passed, but an age that had ended not long ago. Vines wrapped around the lampposts and green moss crept up the damp walls of decrepit buildings that had once stood tall and proud in the sky of Progress Island. Zap. The tranquillity of the wind was suddenly disturbed as motion found its way into the abandoned land. “Woohoo,” a young woman belched as she swung through the air, a long green cloak flapping as she soared upon the wind. Her long black hair tussled through the air as she zipped along freely, with one hand extended out, a metallic gauntlet was locked upon her arm and a long cable extended out, the cable was thin hardly thicker than a strand of hair, the tip of the cable darted out lodging itself into the wall of a high building. A gust of wind suddenly shot out from her arm propelling her forward with even greater speed, she swung across the

    Siara ran through the open door on the roof top with her cannon musket ready, as the first one came running she let it draw close, the moment it swiped at her it belched out a grotesque roar, she pressed the tip of the barrel into its mouth and pulled on the trigger. BOOOM A shell half the size of a fist exploded out the barrel head, blowing the zombies head to bits, and it continued blowing a hole straight through the next one in line. The zombies went crazy when the loud sound reached them, and came rushing in a greater flurry. Siara pulled back and put in a second shell, she waited for them to line up again and pulled on the trigger once more, this time it tore through at least three. She quickly put the musket back in its holster, she only had one more shell on her, they were too bulky to carry around many shells. She ran back out and shot the

    Siara dropped the topic sensing that her uncle didn’t want to discuss it any further. She went down next to him and pulled out a few medical supplies from her little pack and went to treat the wound on her uncle’s face, blood was still pouring out of it profusely. Her uncle swiftly moved his head back, “It’s nothing serious, I’ll be fine,” he said in complaint. “Shush now,” Siara spoke with a tone as she grabbed his head and started to wipe away the blood, “You could get an infection,” she said applying an ointment to stop the bleeding. “I swear girl, you’re as bad as your aunt,” he said keeping still with a begrudging look. “Maybe that’s because we both know what’s best for you,” she replied grabbing his head even tighter, her actions also became slightly rougher. When she finally got a good look at the wound, she was surprised by how deep it was

    “Princess is there any point in doing this?” Siara’s uncle asked with a look of reluctance. “Of course there is,” Siara said giving him that look, that said if he didn’t do what she wanted he would be faced with her temper tantrum, “I’m going to give my saviour a proper burial,” she said. Her uncle sighed and reached down, with his added strength, they still struggled a little but eventually managed to lift it up and turn it over. Gong It released a loud ring as it hit the ground, the two quickly checked the surroundings, to see if any stray beasts decided to attack. They sighed softly, everything seemed safe… for now, they looked back down where the bell had been little bits of white powder could be seen on the ground and tiny little fragments that was likely crushed bone. Siara looked at the upturned side of the bell, there she saw most of the s

    “Tsk,” Dalis clicked his tongue as the creature tried to ram into him. But he wasn’t having it, he sent out one firm smack, that hit the creature so hard it toppled over and ate the ground, Siara shouted something but he didn’t hear it. The thing was still alive, but before it could get up he smashed it’s chest with a solid kick then stomped it locking it in place. He caught its arms and pressed it down taking a close look at it, it had red lines on its face, like Siara’s. ‘A mutated native of this world that’s mindless, this must be a zombie,’ he concluded. ‘My people have done extensive research into the zombie’s, they spread by infecting the members of their race, infections are transmitted through physical contact with its target… etc…, I doubt there is much more I can discover about them,’ he thought and started ruthlessly stomping on its head.

    Raylin looked down upon Dalis with his gaze held firm, he could sense that the bloodlust had vanished from Dalis’s mind. But even so he held his aura firm and spoke, “I once promised you that I would do everything in my power to hold of the corrosion of the energy, and in exchanged I asked that you act with honour and integrity,” “Tell me Dalis, does killing an innocent man honour the promise you have made?” he asked with a stern tone. Dalis gritted his teeth, under Raylin’s otherworldly aura he felt like he would completely lose himself, but at the same time he felt anger, anger at Raylin for calling that bastard of an Enforcer innocent, none of these people here were innocent. Through his anger he managed to find his courage, “You call that bastard innocent,” he swore at Raylin, using all his will power to keep his mind firm, “Do you even realise what’s going to happen when I hand in my schedule and it isn’t signed,” “I’m dangling over hot water as things stand, and all those l

    Dalis left a perfectly cleaned out bowl with not even a speck of porridge left on the inside of his bowl, while he set his eyes on the lady in charge of the kitchens, he knew that he couldn’t get into her good books overnight. He moved on to the next part of schedule, as he made his way towards the corridors he would be sweeping, he noticed his stamina gradually recovering, it was nearing 320 of 340, and gradually increasing. His only energy so far that remained unmoving was his mana, it seemed like stamina was used as he moved about, and it recovered from eating, as for clarity it was used when he focused, as for its recovery he still wasn’t sure, he could only guess that it came with rest. Then there was mana which didn’t move at all, it was the only energy that his body didn’t need to operate. When he reached the corridors he was assigned, he found a broom against the wall and started to sweep away all the dust, and gradually made his way down the corridor. There wasn’t much m

    067 – The One with the Menial Labour

    When the night faded into day, and the morning began Dalis opened his eyes. He clutched his head that was unusually sore, and slowly recalled the dreams he had, it was strange, he usually had a perfect recollection of his dreams, but dreams always had a little nonsensicalness to them. But his dream from the night felt real, and he had a feeling that it was… When he went into the soul space, he found Raylin passed out in a sitting position, still looking that deadly shade of sick. When he reached Raylin, he suddenly paused and thought that maybe it wasn’t the best of ideas of let him know that he had seen the guys memory. Though he felt like it was a pity not to congratulate him on the bombshell of a wife he landed himself. But thinking of that made him all the more certain that it wasn’t a wise idea to tell Raylin what he saw, after all he was having a pretty intimate moment with his wife in that memory. As he thought about the memory he witnessed, he couldn’t help but wonder i

    Raylin found himself in a strange place, well maybe not as strange as the soul space, but still this place was strange. It was dark, immeasurably so, the entire world he could see, seemed to have never seen the light of day, yet oddly he was able to see everything, with perfect clarity. ‘Am I dreaming?’ Raylin wondered to himself, he could never recall having a dream such as this one. But since he found himself incaple of moving, basically forced to act as a silent observer, he guessed that it was perhaps a dream. The darkness was different in this place, it was hard to describe, the sky above was this canvass of nothing, not even a simple twinkle of a star broke through the dark canopy, even the grainy sands that littered the ground were coloured in the darkness. It made Raylin furrow his brow all the more at the fact that he could see, his common sense was shouting at him, telling him that it was impossible, yet he could… He didn’t get to give it much thought when he spotted a

    Dalis felt fuzzy. Yep that was the word, that described how he felt at the moment. The last thing he remembered was going to sleep, but now he found himself in a strange place, it was just that he couldn’t really do anything. He wanted too look around but he felt like he had no eyes, he wanted pull himself up but he felt like he had no hands with which he could pull him self up, he wanted to walk but… well you get the picture. The world all around him started to shimmer, and various large doors and stone corridors flashed in and out of his conscious mind. “Am I dreaming?” he wondered aloud, dreams were different for Dalis, he remembered all of his dreams, unlike everyone he knew, but his dreams were even stranger yet. He would frequently find himself awake inside his dreams, fully aware that his dream was a dream, without it ever breaking unless he willed it so, unlike other people whose dreams broke the moment they realised they were dreaming. But even so this dream felt diffe

    064 – The One with the Verdict

    An hour later Dalis was following behind Jean, as they made their way out of the Tower where the trial had been held. As they walked out into the night the settlement was empty with everyone having gone to rest after curfew set in. Dalis watched the night sky with the hum of the generators acting as a soft tune as they walked through the dimly lit night. As the massive moon passed through his gaze Dalis thought of the verdict, Dalis had no idea what happened between the Artisan faction and the rest of the settlement, but there was a severe lack of trust. It seemed that no one was in favour of handing Dalis over the Artisan faction, but Jean made a strong case for why he belonged in the Artisan faction. As such a slightly bothersome arrangement was reached, his custody was to be split between, Artisan, Jack of all Trades, and The Factionless. It would ensure that the Artisan faction couldn’t monopolise him and allow the others to keep a close eye on him, it seemed like his strugg

    Before Hugo could speak Zera chimed in, in a soothing and melodious voice, “Hugo can speak for the Factionless as well, I believe that our ideas are in line with each-other,” she spoke softly. Hugo nodded apparently agreeing with Zera, “Your Dukeship, once the war commences the Jack of all Trades, and the Factionless will be stretched thin between our tasks,” “We will have to take up the dungeon clearing, the beast extermination tasks of the other factions, plus we’ll be running the supply lines,” “In this case every set of hands on deck will make a difference, we can push of many of our menial tasks like sowing the soil and gathering manure on to him, it will hinder his evolution progress, I’m sure that such a thing will be a suitable punishment for him, he’ll receive his basic meals but he’ll work for no payment,” Hugo added. In the current age for an evolver to be denied the opportunity to gain levels it was one of the punishments that would be the most frustrating to receive,

    Dalis stood up straight feeling much more confident, he had two votes for him and two against him all he need to do was wait for the five votes from Layla, Sebastian and Siara. He figured that his verdict was a done deal. “Casting the vote of Princess Siara is Maliah green,” Sebastian stated. Maliah stood up, “Princess Siara was adamant on her vote, that the life of Dreamer is to be spared,” she stated, giving Dalis his third positive vote. For the next vote Sebastian said nothing as Layla stood up, “With my first vote I vote for Dreamer to be spared,” Dalis furrowed his brow wondering why she didn’t cast both her votes at once, he learnt the reason in the next moment. “With my second vote, I vote to execute Dreamer,” Layla spoke firmly, and her hardened gaze was fixed on Dalis. Dalis had no idea what was going on all of a sudden, her votes made no sense, one to save him and the other to kill him, she might as well have abstained with both votes. He now had four votes for him
