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
The sudden transformation into a large two-tailed fire fox startled the enemy combatants.Rijinna, in her fox form, lunged at the nearest person to her, which was a non-human.She jumped over ten meters to sink her teeth into the neck of the non-human.“Aaaaaargh!”The green-skinned man shouted frantically as those needlepoint teeth pierced into his soft neck.For a brief moment, the rain of bullets on Rijinna stopped as the shooters hesitated to shoot their comrade, but that hesitation would cost them.Not stopping to check if her victim was dead, the fire fox went after the next person closest to her, bringing all her intent to massacre along with her.At this point, Darius and the others arrived at the edge of the bowl-shaped crater.Everyone quickly ran out of their land rovers with their firearms. Among them, a few of the combatants had gone to the trunks to take their surprisingly large guns. Darius was one of these few.His rifle was almost two meters long, sharing height with
Meanwhile,Priya sat on the balcony as usual, this time accompanied by Galgamuth only.Galgamuth had his hands on the railings as he anxiously clenched down on them.“No need to be worked up, I have a feeling that things will go well,” Priya said while putting on a gentle smile.Hearing this, Galgamuth breathed heavily, “Did you get a vision?” He asked, his eyes filled with a longing for hope.Priya shook her head, “Unfortunately, no.”Galgamuth sighed helplessly.“But you shouldn't be worrying, even if something was going to happen, I'm sure a miracle will put everything in order,” Priya stated.Galgamuth turned to look at Priya with a strange look, “Miracle?” He scoffed, “I never took you as one who believes in taking chances.”Priya smiled at this, “Indeed, I don't believe in taking chances, that doesn't mean miracles can't happen.”“Miracle or not, that doesn't change things much. You're starting to sound just like Talliu.” Galgamuth said this with an awful expression.“Although h
“Priya! What was that?” Clancy came over with worry for Priya.She had previously left Priya alone because Galgamuth was present, but when she heard that loud noise, she became very worried.Luckily, from what she was seeing, no harm was done.“Galgamuth is down there,” Priya said while frowning. She faced the direction from whence the being came from.Clancy looked over. Because of the wall, she couldn't see who was there but she could see traces of a red glow she recognized too well, and a foreign green glow.“Priya, let's go.” Clancy said as she saw the intensity of this glow fluctuating.They both knew Galgamuth had encountered someone who was keeping him occupied for now.Anyone who could keep Galgamuth busy for so long was definitely not an ordinary person.And if this was to break into a fight…“Priya, we have to go now!” Clancy repeated, this time raising her voice to allow Priya to register the alarm in her tone.If this was indeed going to break into a fight, they had better
