Invasion: the apocalypse 8.1: WYVERN ATTACK 1
“For many years we have feared now what will happen to the structure of the empire's power balance if we were to stand up against the tyranny of the Agnus house. Our forefathers have bent to the will of Agnus house all their lives because they so not have any other alternative to the power of helion that the Agnus house control and monopolize. But fellow kings of our proud empire, the time is ripe for us to change that tradition of disgrace and dishonor.” Skar said. Akaris stood up and pointed a finger at Skar with a facial expression that shows he is not swayed at all by the statement that Skar has just made. “Cut the patronizing act Skar, if the Tyra house gets the kind of opportunity and relics that the Agnus house got from the ancestral race, our houses would have been destroyed! So, I would appreciate it if you cut the condescension and just get straight to the point of why you have gathered us here today.” He said. “Calm down Akaris, not that I don’t understand what you are sa
Invasion: the apocalypse 8.2: WYVERN ATTACK 2
Astra immediately sat down near Adriel and calmed her mind down, she activated her helion energy and placed her hands on his head. With a gentle tap, she strike him in the forehead twice and like a miracle, he woke up. She stood up and explained to him what was going on and went to where Claria was lying down unconscious on the floor. She did the same thing for her and woke her up, also explaining the situation to her. Adriel and Claria followed Astra’s orders and climbed the top of the tallest nearby tree just like Dula had initially explained to Astra before she woke the two of them up. Claria and Adriel have their distrust for Dula, but since Astra told them that he is on their side and helped a lot in both saving her and them from the assassins of the Estelona house, both of the chose to go with the flow for the time being. From the distance, a strong wind started blowing, causing a large sandstorm in the desert that Astra and the rest of her party can see even though they were
Invasion: the apocalypse 8.3: DRAKE PROMISE AND THE UMBRA CLOUD OF DEATH
Frozen in place with surprise that the drake is talking to her, Astra stopped short with the attack she was about to launch on the drake. “This is not the first time an alien beast is talking to me through my mind, but still that does not change how surprising it is when it happens every time.” She said in her mind and the voice suddenly answered. “So this is not the first time you have conversed with an awakened. Then that means you can understand what I am saying. I will ask one last time girl, who are you and why do you have Jada’s aether essence all over you?” “Can he read my mind? But if that is so, he will not need to be asking me why I have her aether essence or whatever it is he is talking about. This means he can only read my current thoughts or something like that.” She thought. The drake was getting serious this time around and on its body, was about to attack her when she said, “Jada is my mother, she raised me and thought me all that I know as a person, who are you an
Invasion: the apocalypse 8.4: WHAT HAPPENED TO THE GODDESS CLAN?
“Some millions of years ago when the two worlds collided, the rockier of the two bumped into the other, smashing into each other as their gravitation centers shifted more and more towards each other until it merged. The molten core of both planets merged somewhere in the middle before the gravitational pull between the two stopped, making the two planets one and what we call Centauri today.” Adriel explained. Dula walked from where the wyvern was feeding in the dead Argonaut demon that Astra had killed for it, ripping its flesh and crushing its bones like a wolf feeding on the carcass of an antelope. As soon as he got closer, Claria stiffen her face and bore a glare in his direction that made him start to laugh. “Calm down helion knight, I am not you enemy here, if I were I would have left you back at the wyvern field to be their snack.” He said. Adriel thought about it for a few seconds and walked from where he sat recharging his helion shields by activating and deactivating the he
Invasion: the apocalypse 8.5: THE PYRAMIDAL PLAINS
Immediately, tens of more pikes were flying all over the place, barely missing the wyvern as it flies at top speed over the pyramidal plane. “If they are attacking from the ground, then why the heck are we flying lower and lower by the second? Doesn’t it make more sense to gain some altitude where their pikes cannot reach?” Astra asked Dula who is at the moment flying the wyvern. “Look above us!” he said. Astra tilted her head and gazed upwards. She saw that the blueness of the sky has changed to a dark green color that extends as far as what she approximated will be twenty-five kilometers at the very least. “What the hell is happening to the sky here” she asked while still gazing upwards. “That is the rift in the Ozone! A molecule that reduces the solar radiation Centauri receives from both the suns. It is a remnant of the great merger of the two planets and the rift that remained when their atmospheres merged like soap bubbles merged together. Because of the ozone rift, the wyve
Invasion: the apocalypse 8.6: BODY COPIES
Dula, Adriel and Claria were stunned by what they had just witnessed, Astra was standing butt naked in front of them, her clothes have been reduced to nothing and she has opened a door that all of the three of them combined could not make to budge at all. Astra walked back to where the Claria is standing next to Dula’s divine shield and stretched out her hand. “My dimensional ring and a piece of fabric to make the boys stop gazing at me like they have never seen a naked woman before.” She said in a cheeky voice. Claria handed Astra her dimensional ring and opened hers to get Astra one of her battle uniform of the Agnus house and handed it over to Astra. As she begin to put the clothes on, Claria turned around and saw Adriel still staring at Astra’s pale and smooth skin, her eyes met his and he knew he was caught. Claria smirked at him and turned around to have a good look at Astra before she said. “You know, one of them is seeing a naked woman for the first time in his life today s
Invasion: the apocalypse 8.7: MENTAL STRENGTH
Dula walked to the door where his copy arose from and said. “You guys should come check this out! There is some sort of writing on the covers of the coffins, it looks like the goddess tribe’s dialect but I can’t read it.” Astra and the rest walked to him and saw the writing inscribed on the cover of the coffin that now sots by the side of the door on the floor with stairs leading downwards and the large statue standing behind it. “I can’t read that either. The glyphs used in writing the inscription are certainly of the goddess clan but there are a lot of things missing. This cannot be read at all!” Claria said and turned around to look at Adriel hoping his elite knowledge as the Agnus prince will kick in and he will somehow remember learning to read the kind of writing. “I really have no idea what this is saying at all. Even with my elite knowledge. So stop gawking at me like that.” Adriel said. Claria looked at Dula and said. “If we don’t know what the instruction says, it will be
Invasion: the apocalypse 8.8: MENTAL STRENGTH 2
“Where are my friends? Are they alright?” Astra asked and stood up, facing the hologram and deactivated her aether heart which is busy gathering aether in her body. “They are mostly doing alright, thanks to you though, some of them finally passed the test. Although they would naturally fail because of how they were struggling to deal with things that have already happened in their lives.” The hologram woman said. Astra looked around the room she in in and realized how much architecture and design has been put into building it, the details and mechanism for which it works on and turned back her attention to the hologram. “So….. do you have a name? Something I should use when referring to you?’ she asked. “I do not have any such. I am merely a tool! I do not require a name to function but you can address me however you want Child of Zegna.” The hologram said. Astra collected her thoughts and finally asked. “If the hallucination I have just been put through is a test, and I have pass
