At that moment, Mr Green's tears poured like a mini fountain. His emotions rumbled like never before. He felt an intense pounding in his chest that felt like the banging of pistol against mortar. His mind had become a total mess. He held her tightly in his embrace, his thoughts drawing up images of her. When she was angry at him to how he would tease her and she would blossom into a smile. Like a flower to the light of the morning. Her attentiveness when she worked and how she made the entire world bright with just her presence. Such things he would never behold again. That smile he would see no longer. That flower withered and gone. Like a broken glass cup, he felt unmendable. She was his world. The first to have ever made him feel life and she was taken away from him without care. Was happiness too much a request to ask for. Was peace but an illusion. Why was the universe so unfair to him? Just then, he heard the intense scream of a woman coming from the other room. He ins
"Him!" Mr Green pointed. "He is Andrew. The person that sent me." All eyes moved in the direction of Mr Green's finger. Not too far away. He had pointed at a man not so far away. A muscular man still holding tight to his weapon."What!? Me!? That is impossible. It can't be me. I am not even named Andrew."Mr Green had pointed a random participant. Coincidentally, it was the same man that had challenged Aesir and Gina just before the Arena battle. The same one that she had turned over like a sack of potatoes."Boss Woody! My Lord Elder! It was isn't me. This fool, he...."*Slash*His head tumbled from his body before he could finish his prove of innocence. The last thing the 'innocent' man saw before the remaining if his life flashed before his eyes was the face of his killer. It was a face he would never had believed.Blood gushed into the air from the body like a spring. This made the audience scream in pleasure and praise.Mr Woody and Elder Caleb on the other hand looked on in su
"it is more of what we could help you with." Madeline responded to Father Fred. "Hmmm! Okay, please have a seat ladies. And tell me about this help you plan to render. Which I am most confident you won't give for free. Am my right!?" Madeline smiled as she sat on the seat Lydia had brought over while Lydia herself stood behind, depicting the true nature of a servant to a boss. This also had a subconscious effect to raising Madeline's value in his head. "Father Fred Have you ever heard of the Rainbow Anima fruit?" Madeline asked. "Of course I have heard of it. We do have an Ignotus Bazaar (hidden market) here too you know. A market where the only form of currency happens to be anima stone. But I am also aware that getting such an item is like a mere man planning to steal the queen's jewels. Even if you know where to get one, it is practically impossible." "Says who!?" "I beg your pardon?!" "I said: says who?" Madeline asked again. "Well! If I must say, how about common sense
The sound of drills on the walls increased and holes at different points were blasted through. Men in overall black poured in through this holes.Surprisingly, they held with them what Madeline and Lydia were sure were guns.The two women took a fighting stance. With Madeline already releasing a part of her aura forming a giant claw before her."Father Fred! You and your halots should surrender immediately, your men are dead and you are surrounded." This was an order from one of the men in black overalls. From his talk, he was most likely the leader. Some of the guns were pointed to Madeline and Lydia, with a major of them to Father Fred and his giant fish bowl.Madeline was still contemplating an excape route, but the moment she heard that man call her and Lydia 'Halots', something snapped in her. She immediately released her aura and as in went forward, a chimera made entirely of aura appeared."FIRE!"Sparks of light like the shimmering of stars reflecting off water went off in
Madeline laughed again. "Is it not obvious? The second is Aesir and Gina. These two have currently been accepted as members of the Ebora. Although we were not able to get Grootslang, we were still able to get the a person into the royal house and two into the biggest gang. As it is, we are still on track."Lydia nodded in understanding, but she still could not shake off the feeling of something being wrong. Maybe it was just her feelings for Derek getting in the way, she was still actually worried.....Meanwhile, Derek was escorted personally by Esther back to the true Atlas hidden deep within the Submerged region. Before the short journey had started back to Atlas, a guard had suggested that Esther blinded Derek with a cloth or a bag over his head. She had taken his life on the spot. What the poor guard did not know was that this guest of theirs that they had been ordered to obey no matter what by the king was actually their Kings boss.Writers were a prideful bunch.No matter th
Esther walked away with Derek still in her company. She could care less about an ant like Ramond. If not that she still had to consider his importance and standing, she would have really made him swim with the fishes. Derek did not know what or why what happened had just happened. But the look on Raymond's face was just too funny. He could not help but giggle a little. "What's so funny?" Esther asked. "If I were you, I would be more concerned about what I would do to you." "Ehh!?" Derek immediately swallowed back any laughter remaining in his throat. In front of Esther's quarters were two very tall huge men that acted as guards. They bowed the moment they saw Esther arrive. She pretended not to see them. Opening the doors, she entered inside. The first thing that met their sight made Derek's eyes widen in surprise and then squint in observation. It was Farida. She was wearing nothing but her undies. She sat in a corner on a couch with a glass of what Derek suspected was win
"And do you know the best part?" She came close enough to whisper into his ears, "it just might."She waved her hand and runes gathered to form a long needle."So are you going to tell me or not? Which noble Writer family are you from?"She pulled his head closer. "I said which noble..." She was distracted by the slight smile she saw that was still on his face.She moved back and Gabe him a kick to the face. A kick that was hard enough to spill some blood."Don't worry, I know that did little to nothing on you. I plan to excavate you the right way." She touched the rune and twisted it again and Derek screamed some more."Listen to me boy. As of this moment, most of the blood in your body have gone straight down to your legs."She pulled him by his hair and bent his head to see.Derek's eyes widened a bit at what he saw.He could clearly see that his pants were about to burst from the pressure. His thighs had increased in size. Also, his private also looked to be at attention.She a
Esther was surprised by Tiny's smile. "What do you think that I can't do it?" Tiny shook her head, "nope. I don't think.you can't""Hmm!" Esther had a brow up. "What do you mean?""It is as I have said. I think you can. In fact,I am very confident that you can. But..." Tiny gave a momentarily pause."But what!?""But I am sure you won't?" She added "And why is that LITTLE princess?" Esther asked.Tiny felt that it was ironic that someone of Esther's sature was calling her little princess. But she did not say anything about that. It was not so relevant at the moment."What I mean is this. Kill him if you want. But don't be surprised if you trigger another Writer's war.""What?!" Now Esther's interest had been picked. Firstly, she was surprised that Tiny even knew about the Writer's war that happened a few years ago. Only a few distinguished kind of mortals knew of it. And that was mortals in seats of power or special cults like the Grootslang. The majority of the mortal world were d
"Welcome Madeline, we have been waiting for you!" A voice whispered and she turned about to the sound of the voice.There stood a very tall slim woman. She had on a white crop top that revealed her very slim waist leadingdown to her white blouse. She had a pair of glasses on, and she smiled sweetly to Madeline."Where I'm I!?...And who are you!?" Madeline asked."Follow me! I'll explain" she said, gesturing to Madeline a path that opened up in front of them.Madeline frowned and at first did not want to, but still followed behind the woman taking gentle steps.Through a yellow path in-between trees that surprisingly had both carrots and cabbages growing on them, to a hut on a hill side. Madeline followed, while her eyes examed her environment with nothing but wonder and surprise.At the small hut, the woman entered, and then she gestured for Madeline to follow. Although she did not want to, she had no choice and followed.Madeline thought that her sense of reality was warped because
Aesir willed and his sword acted as an assist as it went straight for the bird's other wing.*Caw!*The eagle screamed in pain. Manila ran straight for it. And mounting it's back, she delivered a crushing blow to its neck.*Caw!* It screamed again. However, she did not stop for a bit and after the fourth blow, the eagle passed out. Derek and Aesir stared at her in surprise as she slowly stood from the eagle's back. She made fierce eye contact with Derek and then looked away. Aesir turned to Derek with a brow up, and Derek raised his hands in surrender, "what I'm innocent. I swear!" "Of course you are." Aesir smiled and walked away.Manila began work immediately. The plan was to use the bird as a distraction for the scorpions so that they could pass.The best way to do this would be for them to make sure that the beast could no longer pick up flight.Manila was unsurprisingly skilled at this. She cut out the feathers of the beast.Aesir and Derek also joined her and helped. Soon eno
"Exactly! So if you can't solve them, why bother about them? Yet, before you lies a problem that deserves you immediate attention which you can or at least try solving. But you are too concerned with the rabbits in the wild to realize that you should first deal with the one on your plate." Priestess Ada adviced.She smiled and walked away, "Don't forget, listen as a passerby and it will flow naturally." Madeline watched the back of the old lady leaving as the words she had just spoken played again and again in her head. She sat crossed leg once more as she continually told herself to let go. Her eyes closed tightly and suddenly the thoughts as expected came once more.This time around, she decided not to quiet it or silence it. Rather she let it flow naturally.At first she couldn't help but be swept up in the thoughts and the different scenarios they played. Some even ended in tragedy. And this made her ache in worry. This was a disadvantage of over active thinks. A disadvantage t
Derek could not help but look at them and observe them. These were not like the scorpions he knew from earth. For one, they produced webbings from their tail end. Also, there seemed to be very organized and particularly busy.Some of them were bigger, but those big ones were few. And from the looks of it, they monitored the activities of the smaller ones. These creatures were hard at work building it seemed."Scorpion colony! We will have to navigate round them." Manila spoke."Navigate?" Aesir asked, "how far are we talking of?"She pointed to the hill far in the distance. "That far? But that will take at least an extra day off our schedule." Derek added."Yeah! It will. But it will be far better than to have those things have our scent. Cause ones they do, they will follow us for a very long time." Manila advised."Hmmm. Is there no way to distract them?" Derek asked."Well, there are a couple of ways that could work. However, we don't even have the necessary materials to make tha
Madeline nodded her head in understanding to Chief Sasha's words."So what does this have to do with aura?" Madeline asked."Well! Every thing." She picked up another stone from the ground, "according to your definition of aura, then aura is this object in your hands. And has stated earlier, it weighs you down over time." Chief Sasha turned and threw the stone into the water, then she turned once more and slowly released her aura, "However, if you understand that all it is, is an extension of your body, then behold the weight is gone. After all, your hands have always been attached to the rest of your body and you don't hear them complaining."Those words suddenly stroke difference to Madeline. She felt like she was at a state where she wanted to understand. In fact, the enlightenment was just Infront of her, however, it was a yard bit out of reach.She even sat on the ground as she tried to think hard on Chief Sasha's words. However, for the first time in a while, her brain was una
"huh!?" Madeline could not believe what she was hearing."Don't worry! I am not as weak or fragile as you think. I am sure you noticed that we are a small tribe. Yet, we have survived for so long with terrible neighbors such as the Kaka tribe. Although we rarely bring out our full force, we are definitely not weak." Chief Sasha smirked a bit.Madeline nodded and then she commanded the Cerberus to attack. The beast used one of its paws and a heavy blow landed on the chief. *Bam* Some where within the carven, Priestess Ada was attending to a pregnant woman when she heard the boom of the attack. She raised her head and sighed, "So the the training has started."She pretended not to hear it and continue with the pregnant woman in front of her.....Meanwhile, Madeline was panicking. There was a lot of dust and it was difficult for her to see what had happened. As far as she was concerned,she had crushed the chief."Chief Sasha!" She called out in a low tone. Afraid that her eyes might m
A few hours later, Derek ,Aesir and Milan said their good byes as they started their journey to the Gaka tribe.However, before they did Priestess Ada had come to see Derek one more time."Please take care of yourself properly Repono. And if there is absolutely anything you need, do not hesitate to contact me. I maybe far from you, but some of the things I can do will very much amaze you."Once she said this, she touched behind his ear and Derek clearly felt another radio rune added to the one he already had.Radio runes were special but not ominipresent. One had to be within a certain range for it to be used.Derek knew that If she was giving him one, then it meant that she was sure of reaching him as far away as even the Gaka tribe.A sudden realization hit Derek. One that he had not thought of before. Priestess Ada was a Familiar. Which meant that she could also weave runes.He remembered his experience at the cave when he first came and the one that had happen during the fight aga
"And what might the main dish be?" Milan asked with raised brows. Chief Sasha did not exactly know how to have this talk with her daughter. But she knew that she had to. "Erm... Milan how old are you now?" "I am nineteen now!" Milan replied, "but in a couple of months, I'll be twenty." "Oh! That's nice. That's around the same age I was when I had you. Oh, how I remember it like it was only yesterday. That was the happiest day of my life. You were so little and so adorable. Your butt was not this big and chest this full then. It was all so..." "Mother!!!" Milan stopped her. Her cheeks had become red from embarrassment. "Just go straight to the point. Please!" Chief Sasha laughed a bit, "okay! I understand you are a big girl now." She sighed and then laughed some more. Apparently, she was still rolling down memory lane. "So tell me. What do you think about that Master Writer?" Chief Sasha asked. "Huh!?" This question had taken Milan off guard. "What do you mean mother?" "I mean
Meanwhile, back at the mountain that belonged to the Waka tribe, Derek sat crossed legged in a cave assigned to him. This cave was by far a better one than the one he had and his friends had been sharing on first arrival. Also it was decorated appropriately and it even had a bed in the middle made of several animal fur. Derek had already given out instruction that he would loved to be left alone for a while, if not the entrance to this place would have been crowded by people. With rumours of the tribe having a writer as a guest, every body wanted to meet him. Also, tales of his marvelous feat from the battle earlier in the day had reached their ears.He was as good as a god to them at this point. At the entrance of the cave already lay all sorts of gifts for him. However, Derek was not all that interested in playing messiah at the moment. He just had too much on his mind. Too much problems that needed his attention. One of which was the pressing matter that both his women were mis
