2024-10-29 19:42:56The Central Mesis Humus as the name implies is a farming ground. But Humans were not the only kind of mortals being farmed here. In general, the lives of mortals serve as anima for Writers. But unlike humans that could only produce anima, some races had other usefulness. Like the Monopods, there had a value that other creatures did not.
Items such as scrolls that held powerful runes or runes cast need some special ingredients to hold their power in place. The leg of a monopod was a special one. It had far more use than this, but using it as an ingredient for scrolls was a major one. Monopods have been hunted and used until they became an endangered species. More like Elephants or wild cats. A Writer of noble blood had inherited a small group of monopods from his father and had brought them to Earth, the Central farming ground. This was where he reared them.
Old man Vis remembered how his people suffered. Their numbers were neve

Derek could not believe what he had just heard. This monopod's life had been terrible, one filled with fear and continuous pain. But that did not mean he should take out his frustrations on him. "What about my friends? What did you do to them?" "Oh! the two ladies are fine. I am just going to use them a bit differently. See, I know they are not Writers. They do not need to die like you." Derek felt a wave of relief wash through him. "But they are still friends of a Writer and nothing good can come out of that. They will become properties of the Grootslang. Same thing with the other two in the lab." Meanwhile... Beneath Old man Vis's huge tree, in a temporarily makeshift prison made of thick branches as bars, Lydia and Tiny lay with their backs against the wall and their hands tied with natural cottage ropes above their heads. Tiny opened her eyes. She could barely see around h

While Old man Vis had gone to take care of his guests, Derek was fed continually with water from a big bowl. The monopod feeding him the water could not believe his eyes. This guy had already finished about 12litres of water and he was not stopping. He had thought of just giving up about 6 litres of water ago but Derek had reminded him that Old man Vis said that he could have as much water as he needed. And so Derek consumed nearly 80litres of water before he stopped, feeling better and refreshed. He could also feel that Hayaa had woken up early from her nap because of the poison and was now helping him push it out through the wound old man Vis had made on his chest.If only old man Vis knew that Derek and water had moved from worse enemies to best friends, he definitely would not have let him come close to so much as moist from the air.The monopod looked on in surprise as the dying man that Old man Vis had said he should look after or kill

Tiny dodged to the side. This Fox man was fast, very fast. He would attack and run, never staying to give a second attack. He practically attacked with everything. Sometimes it would be his head, other times it would be his claws, but strangely enough, he never attacked with his legs. Tiny had taken note of this. This guy required his legs to be as close as possible to the ground so that he can maintain his speed advantage.She was using a halberd to fight. Seeing his next attack draw so near, she let him hit her again and again. Both times with his head and elbow. She held her abdomen with one hand and crunched low to the ground. The fox beast-man was enjoying himself. He came with his claws directed at the back of Tiny's neck but before he could make contact, he suddenly felt lighter. He was tumbling upside down in the air. While he tumbled in the air, he felt the cold touch of something on his neck and by the time he landed, his head was severed

"Who is Bishop Gbolan?" Derek asked. Farna saw that she had gotten Derek's attention and made effort to stop her shaky voice in other to explain.The Grootslang were not just a secret cult or organisation, they also considered themselves a church. Just like any organisation, there were rankings. From the lowest in rankings, there was: Member, Errand, colt, priest, Father, Bishop, ArcheBishop and lastly Pope. But even this was not an exact explanation of the hierarchy. As the saying went, "In any organisation, appointment was always better than rank." The organisation still had posts such as knights and their own ranking system that translated in its own form of power and authority.The post of Bishop of the region was left vacant because of lack of an appropriate person to man the position. One of the Father ranked was then appointed to temporarily occupy the position. He was known to be the strongest and most ruthless in the region. Even though it was cl

It was a painful and nervous wait these last few days, but it finally happened. Derek sat on the back of a Griffin and observed with binoculars the approach of flying objects in the distance. "This guy must really hate Writers for him to come with that much." Derek thought to himself.Far in the distance, there was a helicopter with two airships approaching at a steady pace. Just beneath them on the ground were people of different species. It was true that the most abundant species on earth were humans for the very obvious reason of producing anima the best. That did not mean that other creatures did not exist. Some of these guys, Derek had only read about in books.It was true that Bishop Gbolan had not brought out his all, but he had definitely his best. Besides, it was unwise to leave your home empty."They are coming!!!" Derek signalled Aesir and he blew into a horn.Bishop Gbolan sat in the heli
I AM DESTINY'S MISTAKE Chapter 50: A son's pain
From a young age, Anderson had always been treated with care, respect and even reverence. He could practically do all he wanted in this village of monopods. He lived the kind of life his pairs envied, getting whatsoever he wanted. He was like a prince here. But he knew that all that he had was from the hard-earned effort of his father.It always thrilled him when the villagers sang praises of his father. I mean who wouldn't be proud to have a father that had fought for the freedom of his people from the Strangling cruelty of the Writer's fist. In fact, pride was the least of the things that he had for his ever hard-working father. A man that even daringly braved the human world to bring them the knowledge of electricity and climbed fast the ranks of the Grootslang in only a couple of years. The achievements under his father's belt were something that would take any monopod several of their short lifetimes to achieve and would still fall short.

As Anderson's eyes closed into the ill understanding of darkness, tears escaped his shut eyes. Farna immediately ran for her son. She could not believe how foolish this boy was. He had just allowed death through the front door. She held him in her hands as she looked sternly at the man that had given him a blow to the head. Aesir did not even care to mind the look on her face. He picked up the necklaces and them back in the centre of the rune. The foundational rune was made active again.But it could be as before. Two priests had made their way here. The people sitting and supplying a constant flow of aura had panicked in fear and most of them ran. It had taken Tiny and Lydia a considerable amount of effort to stop those running away. Tiny even had to threaten with death, but the fear of the priests approaching with bloody fists and weapons was a more convincing argument. Farna raised her head up from Anderson in her hands. She could clearly see in the distance as that pr

The entire fight was barely a few seconds but the Grootslang had just lost a Father rank. The momentum Derek started with had improved the morale of his teammates and despair to the enemy. That was a Father rank that Derek had played around with like was nothing. Although the others did not know, Derek was freaking out in his heart. That last attack the goat beastman had given was a scary one. Derek himself had even long forgotten that such attacks cannot go through his skin. After defeating the Father, he set his sight on the bear beastman that had killed Farna's son.The bear beastman priest saw this and immediately panicked for his life. He immediately retreated as Derek gave chase. Meanwhile, Aesir and Lydia flanked the other beastman priest on either side. Aesir with his short sword and Lydia with her two knives that she held invertedly. Aesir went for a sweep with his sword for the beastmans legs while Lydia for his head.The Priest looked at his two attack

"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.

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
