Darius had a mission, he hadn't forgotten it, he couldn't forget it.According to the information given to him by Al'ravee before coming here, he was supposed to carve out a faction before he himself came here, a combat-ready one at that. He was not to make it too much though, more like a faction within a faction.But all that seemed very difficult when people like Priya, Clancy, and the other figureheads were present. Galgamuth usually won't interfere in the happenings of their lives so they never needed to worry about him.All their life, most of these people had grown up hearing bad stories about the gods and their oppression.So Darius now has two objectives, first was to reduce or even eliminate every form of resistance that Al'ravee may encounter. The second was to build a small army for this community.To go about the first objective, he needed Talliu. The people living in the fortress were too negative concerning matters of the gods.They viewed the gods the same way a commun
The faces of the rank 3 leaders when they saw Darius riding into the mansion base with a vehicle they had never seen before, was nice to see once in a while.Even though they had vehicles themselves, they were usually old and ghosts of their former selves. If not for people like Stan being around to maintain them, they would have been scrap metal by now.If not for the geomancy talents that were among them, they wouldn't have been able to have such a large and sturdy base, talk less of maintaining it.This truck was new, unlike anything they had. Surely, it sparked the reckless greed within their hearts, just as Darius had hoped.On his second time proposing, Darius once again made it clear to them that he was experienced in doing things like this.Besides, it looked easy and profitable, almost like a get-rich-quick scheme.The guns, the resources, the technology, the better vehicles. They were bought, Galgamuth agreed too. Priya didn't say anything, however, neither agreeing nor disa
“Omega Vitamin?” One of the figureheads said with a grave expression. He had a short stature and had bushy black beards on his face.Darius placed his hands on the table, allowing his weight to rest on them. He breathed in and out slowly, his mind engaged in deep thoughts.“Yes, Omega Vitamin,” Galgamuth said. For some reason, everyone seemed to hover between the thin line of joy and sorrow, not knowing how they should feel.“From the letter, this Omega Vitamin is being sent here from their headquarters. How they managed to lay their hands on it is unknown, what is of concern to us is that they are sending it right into the arms of the Vaderian Cult base.”“Being concerned is one thing, doing something about it is another.” said another blonde-haired man at the table who wore black-rimmed glasses.“If this is the case what do you suggest we do?” Another woman asked.Subconsciously, they all turned to look at Priya who still had her eyes closed. “I already tried, I can't see any outco
Priya and Clancy walked side by side, with Clancy's hand resting on the former’s right shoulder.“Darius has successfully integrated himself into our society as an inexpensive asset.” Clancy began, her voice echoing across the long spacious hallway.“Yes, he has,” Priya replied, undisturbed by the sudden words.The walls in the hallway were a smooth light grey, as though they had been sculpted into existence, rather than being built brick by brick.“We watched him rise over the past ten years, right under our noses…” Clancy continued. “Yes, we did,” Priya said.“His accomplice, Talliu, is peacefully placing both hope and doubts in the hearts of the commune's members, hope that goes against what we stand for, doubt over the very purpose of what we stand for.”“I know.”“We could have stopped it, but you told us some years back after your injury that they would be beneficial to our cause.”“Yes, I did…” They reached the end of the hallway, taking a turn down the spiral staircase before
“To think this mortal was able to derive an approximate time for our arrival, she has even seen your rough image, that's impressive,” Ozia said, his voice was laced with genuine praises.Currently, Al'ravee, Iyah, Norderline, and Ozia stood on the outer surface of the Golden Eye spaceship.“Who?” Al'ravee asked as he stared at the magnificent and humongous planet thousands of kilometers ahead.“There's a mortal who possesses the Oracle Talent in the same environment as your Darius descendant. She already knows we are here.” Ozia said, his glowing red eyes focused on one point in particular on one of the continents.Al'ravee looked at Ozia and then followed his eyes to the continent he was looking at. His two eyes immediately turned into two mirror balls as he manifested his concept of sight.He locked on to a wide stretch of wastelands, looking further, his eyes found a black fortress that seemed to have a lot of people gathering near its gate.On further inspection, he saw an old lad
Ozia nodded his head, “Then what about your name? You need to add more to your name, your mother might have named you but that doesn't mean you can't add to it.”Al'ravee nodded back at the machine-based god, “Yes” He said, “I can feel the annoying vain calls of mortals, it needs to be extended. I never planned on leaving it just the way it is anyway.”As Al'ravee said this he looked down at his hand, the perfect grey color reminded him of someone.Al'ravee opened his mouth to name himself. “My name shall be, Al'ravee Divera Murreleous Randolez Takuti Weada Balcin…”Al'ravee listed a total of twenty-two words for his full name. Some names came from his reference to certain people or places.Space seemed to want to flow and break at the mention of that full name. From now on, unless someone knew and called Al’ravee’s full name, he would never notice.As though to prove a point, the calls that had been in his head for some time immediately disappeared. No longer was he annoyed by the na
One beautiful moon hung in the sky of planet Tavron. The light reflecting from the Daystar conveniently bounced off the moon, allowing the moonlight to shine on the still-recovering wasteland continent.The atmosphere seemed so peaceful and pretty, if only this silence could last till the end of time. Alas…A convoy of makeshift land rovers, thirty to be exact, rode fiercely on the dry wasteland like dirty mechanical beasts.All of them were armored, while ten of them had guns mounted on the top with someone manning them.A swarm of one hundred-odd bikes rode around this convoy, with two geared-up humans sitting on each bike.The combined roars of their engines scared away all low-level life forms while forcing the bold ones to remain rooted in place until they passed.Large centipedes and other nocturnal creatures could be seen scurrying into their burrows.Out of the thirty armored land rovers, the twenty-ninth on the line seemed a bit different from the rest. Not only was its mount
Meanwhile.The twenty-nine landrovers all sped up after seeing the explosion. The black land rover on the other hand slowed down until the last vehicle behind it overtook it.The twenty-nine dirt brown land rovers continued onward.The black vehicle eventually slowed down. The driver opened the door casually and stepped out.*CRANK!*It was like the land rover had been suffering from having to carry a heavy burden. The noise coming from it after the driver alighted would raise questions anywhere.The driver himself had an appearance that didn't lose out to Rijinna.Standing more than six feet tall with a bald head and a stony gaze, his entire body seemed to be a statue… literally.He looked like a work of art that was carved out of magnificent grey stone. His muscles seemed well moulded and his jawline was as sharp as a cliff.Every movement of his was accompanied by a grating sound, like a stone rubbing against another stone.“Zillis, do your thing.” From the radio in the car, Darius
