*knock* *knock* *knock*Aesir and Gina simultaneously opened their eyes to the hard knock on the door. They looked at one another and Aesir nodded at her. After putting back on their masks, she opened the door and an envelope was handed to her by an Eranko that reminded Gina of a hammer-headed shark. The envelope had on it the symbol of the Ebora. Gina wanted to open it but Aesir told her not to. she did not have aura and if the letter were rigged for terrible purposes, defending herself would be a bit difficult.Aesir took it from her, activating his aura, he slowly and carefully opened it. thankfully, it was just a regular letter. He read through it and smiled a bit. "What is it?" She asked."Well, it is an invitation. A formal one-inviting us to fight for Mr Woody in his banquet for the guest he is entertaining." Aesir nodded at her and they both exited the room.The guards led them through a series of bends and turn until they got to what Aesir was sure was a waiting room because
Madeline areived at the Submerged district with Lydia beside her. According to the directions and instructions for the meeting, they were going to the assigned meeting point. However, the meeting point was at the Submerged district. There was a theory amongst citizens of Atlantis that the Submerged district was actually double the size of any of the other districts. With the way both ladies had been going back and forth through hubs in the destrict, Madeline was starting to believe that it must be true.Derek had wanted to come along, but somebody had to stay behind in case of emergencies. Also, according to her, Derek was their secret weapon. Saving him for when he was needed the most was important. And lastly, any opportunity for Derek to cultivate and become stronger should be taken advantage of.And so, Lydia was going to act as her assistant and guard for this small excursion. Although Derek had advised against becoming allies with the Grootslang because of course of their pre
"Father Fred. It is nice to meet you. I am Mary and this is my assistant, Linda." Madeline introduced herself and Lydia. "So beautiful ladies, what can I do for you?" Father Fred asked in his tone that gave Madeline the slight feeling that she was talking to a posh English man in the early eighteen hundreds. it was soothing to the ears and gave the urge for one to want to listen more. For a second there, she found herself drawn in by his voice.Madeline had heard and read stories about the siren and the beauty of their voice. Stories that told of how sailors fell prey to the allure their singing brought and how their lives were ended because of its pleasures. Listening to one talk now, she could definitely understand why Odysseus would block the ears of members of his crew with wax. However, Madeline due to her ever-cautious nature had nearly never gone into an endeavour with a lack of knowledge or information. Although she did not know that Father Fred was a siren, she had been con
"Derek!" Hayaa called to him, disturbing his meditation. He frowned a bit. Currently he was in the void, his legs crossed as he cultivated. The traditional cultivation was not too much his strong suit, then again, he barely needed it since he had Hayaa, but she still insisted on him doing it. It was ironic how controlling and directing other peoples lives gave writers more control of theirs by helping them tame their emotions. He was currently listening to a story through the eyes and ears of a child whose name and story was under his care. "This is a story about a little frog and little snake," the child's mother said. "I want you to listen closely. The story is called *The Mother's Advice*" Once upon a time, there lived in the world of kids and parents; a Little Snake and a Little Frog. They became best of friends and played out late everyday. One day Little Snake came home to his mother feeling very hungry. "I am very hungry Mum, can I have something to eat? " demanded Li
Hammer had left Mr Woody's home thanking the stars for his life. But he had left, that cowardly demeanor of his had gone back into hiding. According to the rules, he was now supposed to be the person in charge of the remainder of Saber-tooth's gang. And he did just that when got back. Of course he would later send news of Saber-tooth's death. But for now, a different idea climbed up his mind.He came back only to see the wanted posters of a familiar face. One that he had seen earlier in the day with a very attractive cash price attached to its find.With the activities that followed after meeting Derek and his friends, it was nearly impossible that he would forget sauch a face that was the source of his earlier embarrassment.He selectively forgot about Aesir and Gina and what he had seen them capable of.Right now was a big fat fish the heavens had sent to him.And so he did it. He reported to the Authorities and even came up with a plan to lure him out.To his surprise, it was a s
Mr Woody watched as Aesir lunched into the flock of beasts like an arrow leaving the stinging string of a bow. He was at first abit angry, but then he saw the surprised look on the face of elder Caleb that slow turned into a smile. There was no need any more to give the start signal. He coughed awkwardly and sat back down. Aesir rushed into the horde of beasts like he had little care for his life. However, the unfortunate first victim of the touch of his sword was a shark standing on all four limbs. What most of the people of the crowd saw, was him passing it by, but once he had already reached his sixth victim, the head if the first fell off it's neck. Blood shooting into the air like the angry eruption of a volcano. That beast staggered a bit before the other parts of it's body touched the ground. The crowd saw this and erupted in a cheer. Nothing like violence and spilling blood to get this people excited. Now, one might think this first series of attacks would make the
The tentacle of the beast wrapped Aesir around it selve like a sausage between two buns. Aesir struggled but his efforts went with out progress.Gina looked at him being raised to the beast. She wanted to help him, but then she saw his eyes and the thought left her immediately. She went back to slaughtering other beasts.However those within the crowd that had their eyes on Aesir from the beginning could not help but get a bit anxious about his fate. They had all seen as the others were dissolved like paper in fire inside the body of the jellyfish beast.This slight worry included the two men of status sitting at the VIP section of the arena.For a split second there, even Mr Woody had to bite down the urge to dive in to Aesir's rescue. "Such a waste," he thought to himself.Although he had only just met Aesir, he could see that the brother and sister pair had quite the potential. He was starting to feel a little regret about putting them up for today's games. "Maybe it was too early,
Elder Caleb waved his hand and crowd was silent. He gave another signal and a door opened. From it came two Erankos pulling out a man with wounds and bruises all over his body.This was most unexpected but Aesir remained his expression in his face, neither moving or saying anything.Gina on the other hand, kept taking slight peeks at him. By some miracle, the expression on her face too had not change.But careful observation would tell that her knees had slightly bent forward a bit. She had shifted her center of gravity to a more comfortable position for either flight or fight."Good ladies and gentlemen of the Ebora," Elder Caleb continued, "I came here expecially to bring you good cheer from the surface world. To encourage the hard work of the brothers here. However, right in the confines of my own quarters, an attempt was made on my dare life."The moment he said those words, the entire crowd gasped in shock. This also included Mr Woody. Now, for Mr Woody, this was not a good thin
