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
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". But wha
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 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
Whatever those sensations were and from wherever they originated, the turbulence which their drifting enacted was cosmic. As though the infinite expanse of the cosmos had a heart, the ether throbbed making this expanse quake in vivid undulating waves of marmoreal depths. It was abyssal but not beyond the depth of the conflict which was about to ensued. Had the ethereal expanse of this realm had been given a voice, it would swear that this turbulence had given it a strange sensation, those martial cadencies of the ancients, the ever renowned heat of battle. Surreal and livening this sensation which had always haunted my soul all these years was at the verge of being unleashed. At the cliff of voids, the nebulous distance ahead of this city of asteroids soon became a sea of armour and flags. At the outskirts before them was an assaulting army of the imperial crusaders. Metallic and octahedral structures emerged from every asteroid within this solar-city, surrounding the entire terra
Novic was all fury and fire, his sword cutting through the steel walls of the battlecarpets, searing all that found themselves beneath him into mountainous halves of exploding flames. The blade of his sword brought down scores of soldiers with each blow he made, slashing like an enraged cyclone, he brought down rank after rank of the enemy's forces. Searing through his being like a maddened thunderstorm, the raving resonance echoing his rage made that massive halo of an enraged purple tear through his palm, an untamed force if destruction unleashed itself from the very depths of his core, and it made the astral expanse quake. Like siesmic pulses the ether reverberated and those concentric waves of marmoreal depths swept the distance, as rank after rank of the city's fleet was consumed within the waves of this cosmic surge of energy. Grinning to himself, Novic knew they weren't his main targets, they were just minions standing in his way, calling them stumbling blocks was an over
That galactic mass of armour and blades came into view, as that haze of smoke, dust and clouds cleared away, that storm of lightning and dark clouds trailing it from behind, diminishing the size of Novic's fleet into an army of ants. Grinning down upon his long known adversary, the being cladded in dark armour stared at the destruction which his entrance had created. Closing his eyes, he took it all in, satisfied with the impression he had made, it was too real to be true; he had returned.Hypernox stood on his left shoulder and behind him stood Equivax, a form of bronze armour, donning an embroidered cape, watching from the bow of the Aegis. Hypernox jerked his head upwards, his beak tearing open giving that steelsplitting screech, which rang high into the cosmic skies. His master placed his thumb on his index finger, creating an enflamed tiny sphere.. "You were right Hypernox, he wasn't expecting us." His master said, still wearing his imposing grin. He flicked the flaring sphere
Those vivid and concentric waves, titanic in size arose, as those flaring circles slashed through the entrails of the hydras. Cries arose, their echoes piercing the cosmic heavens resulting in flaring holes. They weren't just battling against a warrior, they were battling against war, for Kied was darkness and light, and at his peak he was war. The circles spun back to his sides, fading into his being; unshaken by the intense energy which he had unleashed during the battle. The dismembered bodies of Novic's army of cosmic beasts floated across this astral plain. "Kied... you... you," Novic stammered, "make me mad !" Rising to his knees, he screamed to the now turbulent heavens of this cosmic plain, the uproar unleashing more of his cosmic beasts from their galactic cages. They with an even more enraged desire to shred Kied apart, burning with a cosmic flare for revenge. "I wished this was an online course Hypernox," Kied said grinning, "I'd make enough money from students
