"I'm the one who should he scared for you, it shouldn't be tho other way round", Henry replied, smiling, "If you don't want to get hurt, both of you should wait behind while I clear the way." "You heard him", Judith said grabbing James shoulder, sending him stumbling backwards, "since the stubborn ship insists on walking into the lion's den, it's best we let it be." "You might be wrong Judith", James gave a sarcastic reply as he waved his head in mock grief, "I got a feeling that those guys are the dead ship right now." Judith slapped herself in the face, what was wrong with her elder twin brother that he couldn't see things for what they were. "I know a man who can kill by merely looking at him", James continued, "and to be honest Judith, I saw it in Henry's eyes. He's definitely going to kill someone today." Both brother and sister watched as Henry walked fearlessly

"So you're saying that Samuel", his mother defended, "was going to kill Henry or whoever it is ... that was just a tool to threaten him" "A "tool" you say", Mrs John fired, speaking for the first time since the meeting began, "to threaten someone with ? They attacked Henry, was that anything far from murder ?" Henry stood next to the window, staring at the lawn outside, from above. Apparently, he wasn't concerned with what they were saying. John and Judith shuffled close to each other, glued to a corner, watching the Vice principal and their parents argue about the fight yesterday. Judith took note that Mrs Edna wasn't saying anything, she wasn't even making a move to defend her son Henry. "Can Henry claim that he was ignorant of the fact that they were going to attack him !" Mr Mark challenged. "I didn't know they had "tools" with them", Henry blurted, "I thought it would be a simple case of kicks and punches. Besides, they

"But you were bold enough to walk into their midst when you could have avoided them in the first place, that meant that you were aware of what you were doing young man." Kayode charged. "I did what I did", Henry spoke under his breath, "because I knew I could defend myself. They were just taught to not mess with anybody." "And was that right to you", Edna yelled, infuriated more by his calm outlook than his words, "taking the law into your hands all in the name of teaching them a lesson, when you could have just reported them." "Report !" Henry chewed the word which tasted like gall, "I had done that a long time ago", he said, "not once, twice, even thrice. But I was always ignored and denied justice, just because of who I was, and with all that bitterness, I became a fighter." "But this is not a battlefield", Kayode chided. "My first secret", Henry continued, "where I come from, everywhere is a battlefield, every place is an arena, and if you don't stand up and figh

"We know that you're there Judith." Henry's voice rang accompanied by James sarcastic laughter. Furious, she swung the door open, standing with her glass of fruit juice and saucer in her hands, glaring angrily at the boys who laughed hard. their backs on the bed. She was puzzled as to what caused the laughter, staring at the wall ahead of her. she realized that Henry and James had placed a mirror directly facing the door, which meant that they had been seeing her all along. Judith felt like a cow and watching James snatch the cake from her and dump it into his stomach in one munch made her angrier. "That was mine !" She yelled. "And this is ours", James replied, "so don't come trespassing." Her hand came straight for James' face but a hard backed book struck her wrist, making her clutch her hand. It was Henry who still had the gamepad in his hand whistling away as he played acting like he didn't care if she was there. She hadn't seen him throw the book but her instinc

Those three forms began to lose their flare, the eagle resting on Henry's left shoulder while the armoured being stood by his side, arms folded. Watching Henry rise to his feet, Judith and James noticed his changed appearance. He was now wearing a dark armour and his dark hair fell gracefully from his scalp. And when he turned around, they saw that boy who's left half of his face was covered by that falling mass of hair, while his right and exposed eye glistened in its cosmic darkness. "Henry !" James called, "Are you all right ?" "Stay back !" Judith pulled James shoulder, stopping him from running, "That person doesn't look like Henry." "Of course he does", James defended, "but he looks a bit different though." Judith was taken aback by that dark grin which stole the lips of their supposed Henry. What had happened to him ? And who was that eagle and armoured being standing next to him ? She was having a bad premonition about what was going to happen next on seeing

"I am Thorace Nertival, a cosmic pirate", the one standing introduced, "and his name is Vag Verzak", he pointed at the other being who was still sitting on the boulder with a panther at his feet, "he too is a cosmic pirate. And your supposed Henry is known to us as Kied and he too is a cosmic pirate." "A child prodigy if you can call him that", Vag said, "It took me centuries to me get to this this level and he's already this powerful at his age. Bit I'm not good at catching up because, your friend "Henry" has just been catapulting his powers to infinite heights." "Not bad for a kid who ran ..." The antelope leapt backwards as a sword tore out from Kied's palm, burying its blade into the ground a few inches from the antelope. "Take it easy Kied", the antelope pleaded, "I was just giving them a recap of your legend." "I always warn you Trident", the panther said, "with Kied and Hypernox, you have to watch your mouth." "Thank you Trident", Kied said, the sword flyi

"Even at school",. James continued, "he got into the bad books of some bullies." "And what did he do to them ?" Thorace inquired. "Broke their bones." James answered. "He also beat my sister in all the tests since he started our school, that's why she's angry at him." "So you're scared of losing your position to kied", Vage remarked, "Do feel so frightened, Kied isn't the type who is used to take the spotlight, that doesn't mean he's shy, he's far from being timid. If you're nice to him, he will gladly take his place behind you. And he isn't the type who will take school work seriously." "He isn't serious with his school work that he always comes first in class ?" Judith retorted. "Just take it as a case of genetic superiority and the wide range of scenarios he's able to put his knowledge to test."Thorace explained, "If you work hard you can still beat him to the mark." "But he always gets everything right", Judith lamented, "it's like he never fails." "Then d

"What else Is there relating Kied to Norden sir." "Kied feels pain", Tergon revealed, "even I don't feel pain but Kied does and in the city of Norden their people don't feel pain as well." "That only emphasizes that Kied is in no way a native of Norden, apart from the already established theory that he somehow knows how to get there. Imagine sir, he's of Matter Dark and Night, of the State War and feels pain, so taking him as a native is equivocal." "Yes it is debatable", Tergon postulated, "because he is of darkness, night and war while those of Norden are of light and peace. But think deeper Garvey ", Tergon pushed, "He's the complete opposite of what it means to be a native of Norden and possessing opposing traits makes him unworthy of being one. What if Kied had left Norden because of his odd nature ?" "You mean he ran away ?" Garvey opined. "Yes, he must have been sent on exile", Tergon concluded, "as an outcast." *** *** *** The clang of armour a

Tergon saw those flaring specks of green beneath his combat board, enact those blazing strings which created a surface of concentric rings. Lifting his head, Tergon saw that group of eleven armoured beings with emerald capes draped over their shoulders fluttering like flags of doom as they strode calmly towards him. Weapons drawn, Tergon knew they were here to fight him. Alighting from his battleboard, Tergon felt the solidness of this strange surface and it felt like walking on normal earth. The advancing group came to a halt apart from the one in their middle who took four steps forward, placing himself ahead of the others, Tergon assumed him to be their leader. "You have defiled the sanctity of this realm in your quest to acquire the Seven Boulders of Er !" The warrior's voice boomed. "What makes you believe that there is any sanctuary capable of resisting the clutches of the Feudal Order." Tergon challenged. "We stand here to defend our empire from you socalled clutch

PHASE ONE Rakeal who was seated on the throne had only one thing in mind, how to ensure that his campaign wasn't nipped in the bud. The feudal lords of the realm in which he had invaded as well as the emperor of this empire had already began to rally their forces to take him down. But it didn't matter anyway, this was simply a game of politics, most importantly, he had been able to find a clue about the whereabouts of the Harp of Discord. This was one of the realms which was in alignment with the entity's astral flow, which meant that they were on the right path, so why would he give up on his prize over the likes of a few cocky politicians. This war was inevitable right from the very start and it was so unfortunate for them that it was him, that they'd be dealing with. "Zavir", Rakeal summoned. Zavir's form appeared before him on his knees, it wasn't the real Zavir, just a holograph. "Bring me Destovar", Rakeal ordered. "Yes your highness", Zavir replied with the holog

PHASE ONE Standing before the five kneeling warriors at the base of this dais, Norx Hade Zex gave his order. "You must find the Dark Child of War." *** Nomad's eyes glistened with delight, watching those endless clusters of four pillars stood tall upon this marmoreal sea before him. Their cores blazing of and intense energetic sensation. These astral cadencies were indeed horrifying to the weak. But he wasn't included in that category, this was just a test to see how his strength had improved since the passing of the last Calamity. *** "What do you suggest we do general Ozar ?" The commander asked. "Just watch", Ozar ordered, "watch calmly and take note of every detail within this conflict. We must know how powerful our enemy is." *** Those moans rose from the cores of those clusters of pillars. Those stellar reverberations made the foundations of this astral plain tremble and those lightning flashes heralded the coming of these astral lifeforms. From the s

PHASE ONE His eyes opened to find himself floating in this sphere containing a blue of fluid. Staring around trying to make out his surroundings, Kied realized that his sense of sight was still blurred. "There's no problem with that", he thought, "I can still go back to sleep then." Closing his eyes, Kied drifted back to sleep. Still he could hear those voices, although he wasn't awake, he knew the persons speaking. "I saw him open his eyes just now", the female voice said. "Why didn't I notice it ?" The other voice said. "How can you see clearly through the liquid he's sleeping in ?" The female voice answered. "I thought you weren't bothered about him, why are you making a fuss all of a sudden." Even in his sleep Kied's teeth gritted themselves, these two siblings were so annoying, and the funny part was, their names started with the same letter, making it sound like the name of some fashion brand whenever they're called together, "JAMES AND JUDITH".

PHASE ONE "Then who could he be ?", Ozar mused. "We can't hold back any longer", the commander warned, "else, our ships could get destroyed and the campaign will come to an end." "I already thought about that", Ozar affirmed, "then let's step it up a bit." *** Nomad watched the battleships of this army's vanguard fall back, he had anticipated something like this. Smiling to himself, he just wondered, what the hell were they about to bring forth. "What makes you so bold to stand in our way celestial being ?!" Nomad's grin widened, telepathy ! Someone must be there that has a significant amount of power, this was going to be interesting. "What makes you stand in the way of the APEX COSMA ?!" The voice questioned again. "Because I fell like it", Nomad replied. "I respect the fact that you are a powerful being like us", the voice continued, "so I'd advise you step out of our way if you don't want to get crushed." "What if I still refuse", Nomad challenged

"But did he ask for it ? Did he ask to be born this way ? Before he left do you know what he said to me ? "I wish I wasn't born mother, I don't want to live", that was what he had told me." "Listen Era", the male voice said, "his destiny is to achieve the unthinkable, it is that void, the realm of the unknown, a dimension of flesh and thought that drives the normal and average insane. Era, Kied can't be normal, your son can't be like others, he was destined for something else, something that even I can't understand." "But this socalled destiny is driving him insane."

PHASE ONE "Gora" THE FATHER sighed. "He made the choice himself", Levir recalled, "his arrogance will be his downfall." "What was he thinking ?", The Father played with his beard as he sat on his throne, "even with the liberation of the DARK LORD, Kied's power's may seem to have weakened, but in reality, they are going out of control." "His EMBRYO is reacting to the reemergence of his antithesis", Levir said. "The bad part about this is that, being out of control", the Father clenched his fist, "is being without control." *** An armour used by the dark child of war during the CARNAGE OF GODS, this armour was the subterranean form of Hypernox's being.

PHASE ONE "I told you Levir", the being said, "that we'll one day break free from the bondage of the CELESTIAL MACE." "And just as the FATHER said", Levir replied, "we finally broke free." "These realms before us", the being in a purple garment walked to the flower vase on the pedestal at the side of this hallway, plucking a petal, he squeezed it in his palm which ignited itself into flames, "shall burn for the glory of VERECA." *** Claws and chains entangled themselves as these two beings raged and raved, their chaotic battle of enflamed madness making the earth shiver and quake beneath the destructive might of their powers. They were gods at war, the very cause of it all becoming more vague with each passing moment. "Why hold back child of war", Gora challenged, "it won't do you any good if you silence the beast in you." "Shut up vermin !" Kied sent the chains flying at its neck.

The man sighed, "I'm pushing things to the limit." *** Kied's eyes blackened as he felt those sensations run down his spine, he could feel it, he could feel them calling him, it wasn't Hade Norx Zex this time, it was them, who were they ? "Show yourself !" Kied yelled. Looking around, he realized that he was stuck in this desolate realm of darkness, a darkness that was so dense that he couldn't even see his palms. "Your life", that voice called, "your very existence, is the birth of chaos itself." "Who are you ?" Kied called. "Me ? Who am I ?" The voice intoned. "This isn't the first time you've spoken to me."

His motion burned its way through distance and time, his sword and mace clashing with scores and at the same time sending scores falling dead, he seared his way through the enemy's ranks, that wall of halos and flames heralding him from behind burnt down the battleships, stellar tankers and battlecarpets of the foe. It was a surge of flames and steel and the barrage of armour and clanging shields rose to the peaks of skies of this asteroid, but he was beyond the limits of the present time. The vision of the atmosphere burnt its way through his armour, unveiling his face it revealed those burning eyes. Vision retracted as his swinging sword clanged, clashing with another foe, swirling around, he struck his opponent with his mace on the chest, sending him flying like a pebble int the air and crashing like a meteorite upon the earth. Bolting through the distance, his fluttering scarlet cape embroidered with the emblem of a six horned bull, cascaded like a waterfall of flames from h
