Invasion: the apocalypse 9.4: TEMPLE OF ZEGNA
After walking for some hours following the directions of the digital navigation that Adriel has been using all the way from the empire’s walls, they finally arrive at the foot of a large pyramidal structure that is made entirely of a pitch black material that Astra could not recognize at all.The pyramid is so massive that looking at it, Astra realized it will fit at least three of the Giza historical pyramids back on earth and still have room for more, yet all of it is pitch black.It suddenly strike her how she got to Centauri, the ring! It was made of pitch black material just like this one. But those dreams that I was having, the computers and spaceships that they were inside were all made of the same material. The dimensional ring too.“What is this thing?” She said, pointing at the enormous pyramid.“That my dear is Zegna’s temple. The most sacred place in all of this god-forsaken planet we call our home.” Dula said.“Not the temple, that part is obvious I think anyone will be a
Invasion: the apocalypse 9.4.1: TRIAL 1
As soon as they entered the room, the large and heavy doors swung and closed themselves in a loud thump that made both of them to turn back. The light from the room has blinded them completely, making it impossible for neither Astra nor Adriel to see anything from inside of the room.After about a minute of absolute silence and blinding light that although Astra has closed her eyes to, shoe could still feel it burning into her eyes.“O you children of man, seat and I shall give you the knowledge you need to take the trial of the goddess of the sun, the priestess of the night and the queen of the city of Babylon.” A deep masculine voice that reverberates around the place in a down tone echo said, and all of a sudden, Astra felt her legs bending on their own and herself sitting on the floor.The light in the place suddenly dimmed down and as Astra squints and opens her eyes slowly, she could see prince Adriel sitting next to her on the opposite side. Each of them has a box in their fron
Invasion: the apocalypse 9.4.2: THE TRIAL 2
Astra raised her head upwards to see where the shining light attack came from and from the clouds descended a woman ling ridiculously long hair, her wings were larger and more beautiful that the rest of them, on her head, a golden tiara that makes her majestic rest. Decorated around it are listening gems that immediately caught Astra’s attention.On her hand is a bow made almost completely of light, she was drawing an arrow of light in it that is currently accumulating light and shining even brighter. She aimed and fired the second shot at the vile creatures that are swarming below.As the arrow leaves the bow, turning into a straight large beam of light heading towards the ground at an incredible speed, but as it got out of the clouds, it suddenly shattered into tens of little sparks that fall to the ground and exploded upon impact.The sound of a horn being blown suddenly caught Astra’s attention, making her look to her side to see who was blowing it among her fellow winged ladies a
Invasion: the apocalypse 9.5: A BIRD LOST IN TIME
Astra remained coiled up in the place she was sitting in the cave, blanketing herself in her wings for a couple of more hours before she finally regained her strength again and made her mind up to try fly out of the cave. She walked to the entrance of the cave and observed the weather, wing and the surrounding to be sure she was safe in free fall before she walked all the way to the innermost section of the cave.“Here goes nothing! If I die here, I die for real.” She said out loud and charged forward in a run, as fast as she could go with her wings folded as perfectly as possible. When she reached the edge of the cave at the entrance, she jumped out as fast as she could.The air was cold and the wind currents are strong. Astra descended towards the ground for about a minute before she finally opened her wings, braking drastically and started gliding just a couple of meters above a river connected to a waterfall that is falling from the mountain.Astra started beating her wings and ga
Invasion: the apocalypse 9.6: DEVOTION
Astra stood there confused as to what is going on and yet still, what she should do now.“I should probably just fly out of here right now, I have done enough and saved the child and looking at them, they may not kill them even if I leave now. But then what if they do and where exactly am I going to if I leave? These wings can fly well but unless I can make them dissipate like the aether ones the real me have, I cannot just live along these people, they will either try to catch me with a bird trap or start to worship me like they are right now” Astra thought to herself, getting carried away by her thoughts and forgetting about the people in prostration that have surrounded her.She opened her wings wide and point her finger at the King, and the clergy man.“You and you, tell your people to get on with their normal activities and leave. I will like to spend some time with you two to talk.” She said.Immediately she said that, the king finally stood up and nodded at the guard near him w
Invasion: the apocalypse 9.7: A CONFUSING DREAM
Then again, Astra found herself in the sky once more, fling with all her might alongside others who are winged like her and dressed like her and all heading ton what she can now see as some sort of castle in the middle of the sky.The castle looks more spaceship-like than an actual castle to her however, and it is so high in the sky that its entrance is the only thing that is with the sky and the majority of the rest of its body is in space.Some of the winged female soldiers have already arrived at the large entrance and passed through it straight into the castle. Astra turned her head around and saw that there are now an uncountable number of the alien creatures swarming after them in the sky, catching up to the ones that are tired and butchering them with their claws and feeding on them as they fall from the sky.This is even more terrifying for Astra than the fact that she just keeps finding herself in random places. They have arrived in the space near the castle and a few gigant
Invasion: the apocalypse 9.8: THE SECOND TRIAL
As the alien queen’s ship begin its course to entering the atmosphere, heading straight towards where Astra and the remaining winged soldiers are, she suddenly disconnected. The queen listed her hands and when Astra came to be and opened her eyes, she was crying inside the small ship and the queen was transferring all of her dimensional ring items in storage to her.“From now on Astra, your single most important job is to make sure that no matter what happens, you don’t get caught by the gobbler queen, if she absorbs your life essence and gain the ability to harness aether, she will be unstoppable and will travel from one end of the cosmos to another until she has absorbed all living beings. So no matter what, do not try to come back here or stay in one place for too long. That is my sin and I will pay for it today.” The queen said“Wait, while I somehow understand why I have to keep running from her, but I still don’t understand why the gobbler queen has Jada’s face!” Astra said and

In the Agnus territory, Kai has just finished a briefing meeting for the preparation of the orbital knights against the great migration that draws closer and closer. He has just told all of the seven hundred commanders of his specialized troops to start the merging of their forces and begin collaborative invasion training in preparation for their role in the conquest of the remnants of Terrans when the time is finally ripe for the migration.All of the mega carrier ships in the Agnus Helion armada have started redesigning the ships to the structural components that can be merged with the mothership during the migration exercise.His orbital elevator has just landed inside the largest helion tower in the entire planet and he has stepped out of the elevator. Two strong looking persons, one male and the other, female were waiting for him, falling to their knees and saluting him as soon as he exit the elevator.“My lord and king, we welcome you back from the orbit!” they said and Agnus Ka
