The Search for Xanar Evolution
They hadn't made it 50 steps when the horde appeared. 44 fallen, all heavily armoured and battle hungry, stared coolly at the party below. 'Perfect....' Castor turned to Trenton, the black Goblin adjusted his glasses, he let out a nasally old laugh as he glared at the new arrivals. "What are you waiting on? Go!" "Bu-" "Your Spectres are here with us, We'll figure ourselves out, now go Fate Dealer!" Castor and Kovet Fled! The Centaur gangster led the two of them through the woods, hopping from root to root. Castor felt like prey evading a pack of hungry wolves, Off to the distance he could hear the sound of battle, of Swords, of Spears, Of metal screaming and Crying. He heard the dying screams and painful wails of Friend and Foe alike. The familiar Squelch of squished flesh, Flashes of blinding white lights behind him, Roasted flesh and Scent of ashes. Laughter.... lots and lots of laughter! Evil and Vile and bitter! They gave him Goosebumps everytime he heard them, It felt l
The Search for Xanar Siege
It was Biblical.The skies were littered with scores of Burning white light and An Evil purplish hue.The two opposing forces danced around, punishing their nemesis for claiming authority in their various spaces.Fire and Brimstone, Ashes and dust, crazed laughter overwhelmed her senses.There were cries of iron and steel, Pools of red and black, and debris of ruined buildings surrounding Cecelia.She quickly regretted her decision of braving the outside, she turned to face the Spectres.... alas her guards had already departed, they joined their brethren in the night sky.Cecelia swore she could hear their sinister cackle as they raced to the heavens above, she sighed as her best chance of protection sailed away from her.She squinted her one good eye and looked around, There was fire slowly rising, all the buildings around her were on fire, Screams of desperate citizens trying to find safety.Ash and smoke clouded her vision, fleeing Pedestrians knocked off her feet, fruitlessly sear
The Search for Xanar Fiery ride
Castor was Aghast.Hovering over the scarlet clad forest, he witnessed Woodland creatures and Monsters alike fleeing from the ambers of the fiery deathtrap that surrounded them.Most did not make it, the falling trees crushed some and the fires took others, Their shrieks of pain were almost human like, A small knot etched over Cas's Chest.Yet that wasn't what frightened him, Right above his ship were a horde of Fallen, Bigger, Stronger and Meaner looking.Some had three or five heads, Others multiple arms which sported spears, swords, axes and shields.And the biggest one Had both, it snarled as it directed it's comrades to hunt down all life they came across, The white cloth devils baptized the forest with Fire.Some Chucked them from their hands, Others shot them from their eyes, Castor grit his teeth as the Creatures maniacal laughter echoed through the Fiery hell scape."Fire!" He roared as Veil splitter rained Apple bombs upon his foes, Some Tore the Fallen to pieces, Others rid
The Search for Xanar Just like him....
Cece nursed her cheek as Cassandra lead them away from the stupefied crowd. The Elf Librarian, Josephine's little sister, took her by the hand before she could utter a word, She didn't have a chance to resist, still in shock from the Stiff slap. 'Shit! I think she dug some nails in,' she noticed the blood trickling from her cheek, '2 worlds and Josephine is still shit when jt comes Family,' Cece sighed, She despised her mother more than anything in the world, Unlike Eve and Fil, She felt nothing when she pushed her down those stairs, 'It was one of the best days of my life....' A smile crept up her lips, 'Cas must never know that though....' She reminded herself, The world be damned but her little must never know, she swore to herself. After what felt like ages walking through the rows of books, Cassandra came to an abrupt stop in front of a large stone statue in the middle of the building. It was a cloaked figure holding an Hour glass in it's Right hand and a book tucked under i
The Search for Xanar A lady in black
Through the dark moonless sky....Through the pale glow of Dorian's Fallen....Through the Smoke and ashes of the ancient Forest....The Lady in black danced in the air!She moved her hands in a fluid pattern, like water running through stone.She swept her feet around like she was making a circle, a triangle and a star!She muttered a couple of words, too far and too silent for Cas to hear....An eerie chill washed over the battlefield, all the sound in the world went silent for just one moment....The Fallen, The Spectres, Centaur, Trenton and his Leviathans, all for just a moment stared at the lady in black, all for just a moment looked upon her with awe, almost admiration in their eyes.....And then one by one, the fallen's head warped, twisted and imploded in of themselves.There was no time to scream, to run, to react.....In the next moment, the lifeless husk Castor's foes plopped to the ground, they barely made a sound as hit the floor.Cas focused Veil Splitter's attention
The Search for Xanar Price for Power
With every step Cece took, the sound of wet meat plopping to floor, accompanied by the baleful screams of the DakenDale's faithful echoed through the Library's halls. Cece slowed down her pace, 'what am I doing? rushing to my death?' She came to a complete stop, and looked behind her. "Maybe I should.... just leave? I don't know or owe this folks anything, right?" She turned around and walked back where she came from.... then she whirled around again. "Cassandra though.... she seemed nice, And I'd definitely feel like shit abandoning her, but I'm not strong enough on my own.... I'll die for sure!" 'Probably, That would be a sight to see!' She whirled around and strung her bow, "Ella? Is that you?" After what felt like a moment.... nothing, no answer Cece sighed and relaxed her shoulders, "Well if she does show herself I'll-" 'Kill me? There are no stairs here, open room too! I don't Fancy your chances!' Cece turned around and saw..... nothing! "Come out! Show yourself!" 'O
The Search for Xanar A great motivator
Once the initial glow dissipated and the path became more visible, The pitiful scene became clear to all within the ship. A Sea of Pale white light faded from their view one by one, most falling into the darkness below before forever losing their glow. Trenton whistled and the Centaurs neighed in indignation. Josephine however was silent. One thought went through Castor's mind as he saw this scene unfold. 'That was rather pointless, wasn't it?' he sighed. He looked in the direction from which the sphere came, a bloody, pulsating, mess of flesh and bone hovered between two Leviathans. The unfortunate creature had been crushed over and over by the flying Monstrosities, Perhaps in a last ditch effort, along with it's now dead brethren, they had tried destroying Veil Splitter In spite. "The good that did," Castor fired a couple of apple bombs through the creature, He filled it with so many holes, it became a horrid Sculpture of blood red swiss cheese. It plummeted to the ground soo
The Search for Xanar Query
Splat! The Fallen's head burst into a million pieces as the Spectre swung a mace upon it's head. The creature plopped to the floor with a splat, Cassandra shrieked back, Half relieved, Half annoyed, The chunks of flesh from the creature clung to some nearby books. They were surrounded by Spectres, 13 of them to be exact, The soldiers.... those who could still put up a fight were positioned to guard the Civilians in the basements. Many protested, However Cece quickly shot that down, 'If any of you are capable of slaying one Fallen by your lonesome.... step forward!' They responded with silence. Begrudgingly, They marched towards their assigned duty.... save for one, He was sent by Cassandra to inform Gastard of Cece's arrival.... Much to her dismay. 'Was she being considerate..... or does she suspect my deception,' She shot the elf a wary look, 'Either way.... maybe He'll make my job easier by coming here,' She sighed, Pouring over some magical books she found on a nearby shelf,

Interlude- The price of honour
Barker Griffin hated humans. Not out of a sense of entitlement, like many of his fellow Lycans. Nor out of some misguided religious or social belief their existence violated, which was also fairly popular as sources of anti-human sentiment went on in the Holton's Keep. No, his own hatred came from anger, and that anger came from the very natural fear of what humans ultimately were. All forms of government, all Clans and Packs were based on the monopoly of force; what would then happen to every government in the supernatural world when a race as selfish as humans got enough power to rival them? His ancestors had scoffed at the idea, 'Those hairless apes? Overthrow us!?' They might have laughed, But Barker.... their descendants.... are not laughing now.Of course, not all humans are as unstable as the scum that hunted his people, He had met a few 'good' ones over the years but at the end of the day, When cornered, when the going gets tough, They break, they lash out and they hurt.... t

Cas decided.He ducked to the left, A horror made of pulsating grey tentacles with 13 different wings of thirteen different colours blitz past him, somehow, Cas knew in his heart of hearts, Dylan was Sandbagging them, 'Cuz there's no way we'd be able to survive these things!' He thought as he slashed at one of it's wings.He didn't know for certain, he wasn't sure how the rules of enhanced and the like worked, but a small part of him, a tiny part of him was sure the only reason he's able to react to the onslaught of

Ties that bind
She saw a couple of the fleshy grey ones a few hundred metres to her left..... to Splitter's left that is, a massive pink was approximately 200 metres behind them, barrelling down with murderous intent, it was the size of a radio tower, It's hounded after them with such ferocity that-"Cece?" A mousey voice said, Cecelia jumped."DON'T DO THAT!" Cece snapped at her friend."S-Sorry!" Lucy quickly muttered, "I.... I just wanted to tell you Julie is starting to stir,""Oh.... could you continue to look after her? Sorry, Keeping track with Oculus is a bit more task inducing than I thought!" She said as she rubbed the sid effect the Oculus.Cece was certain the ship was capable of piloting itself, even as it was far away from it's master, her brother Cas, But.... here in the in-between, It's home domain, She could feel faintly, a beastial desire to pulverize their pursuers, worse, she could feel it gradually overtaking her, it took most of her willpower to fight those urges away, 'I need

I hate it here

Star Gazer
She swerved to the left just in time to crush a Hellspawn under her Van, "Cece! Watch it you-" Lucy was saying but Cece simply shook her head."I think it's impossible to be careful under this conditions Kiddo!" She said as she rammed another Hellspawn with the van, The creature clung to the windscreen trying desperately to stab into the vehicle, Cece shook him off with a well timed stop, The creature rolled and came to a stop, It was promptly finished off by Creeper with a gun."But your condition!" Lucy protested."We'll figure something out! I know I'm not right but C'mon! We don't much options here!" She started the engine again and continued on her path to her brother."I hope.... you know what you're doing...." Lucy muttered."That's the thing kiddo.... I totally don't!" Cece cackled as she ran over another Hellspawn, It gave a rather satisfying CRUNCH as it's head was reduced to a bloody pulp.From the corner of her eye, she saw Lucy's face turn pale, "look kiddo-""Get down!"

A Dream that must never come!
He knew something was wrong the moment he heard the music.....It was soft, it was on the Angelic side whilst having a twinge of darker themes, A mix between Soul and Gospel rock, Cas heard it, So did Sally and Banner from the looks of it.Their men seemed confused as well as many of them looked around fir the source of the music but nothing, It had no source nor direction, As though.... "It's all in our head...." Cas muttered."What?" Sally snapped, Glaring at Cas, "What are you on about?""He's saying the song is all in our head, I think that's mighty obvious Missy," Banner spoke.Sally gave him the most blood curdling glare Cas had ever seen in his life.... well not really, He'd seen far scarier things on his journey so far, but there was something shouting the mundane human giving such an unnatural glare that sent chills down his spine."I'm not anyone's missy! The next time you call me that-""What are they doing?" Cas interrupted pointing at the Saints.The small party seemed be

Intetlude- A Soulsinger is born
The ceremony had always been a big event in our town. While the youth turned 18 on different days and received their divine blessing, they first revealed it to others during the Ceremony of Revelation. It had been a custom for many families to actually never call forth the summon before the Ceremony, while others would only call it in private chambers away from curious eyes.And so one week before the big event the town began preparing. Craftsmen erected a stage in the middle of the town square with a pyramid on which the young adult would stand and reveal what the soul formed from the godly power it was bestowed with. It was most common to find people being able to summon tools of their craft if they already had set foot on that path. Be it a sword, a pen filled with unlimited ink or a farming tool, the townsfolk usually tried to teach their children in ways that they would manifest what would help them in the family business. Well, except some of the scholars, they usually tried the

Acolyte.
Cece thought hard about the events of the past hour as she set a course to her brother's location, Lucy, Julie and their new Friend Creeper sat beside her in the White van they had secured during their mission, they split up from Julie's crew, the rest of her people kept their new bases secure, as well as hunted for any more working vehicles in the area.Coco sat on Lucy's lap, The Little ball of fur played with The mousey girl's hand as she tried to give her belly rubs.In the back of the Van in a glassy container sat Creeper's prisoner, Belfast, The creepy little Abomination squirmed with displeasure as he eyed his surroundings menacingly, J.J eyed him back, Snarling at the Spectral Creature.Cece didn't quite know why she was so..... jittery, She stared the Car as best she could through the ruined city, trying her best not to go there.... go to the dark corners of her mind, The ones that showed her images of her brother in a tortured state or even worse.... 'No.... Cas isnt dead,

Hatchback
"BANNER!" Cas yelled, a little louder than he expected.... didn't matter, "We need to talk, NOW!" He added.The gathering went silent now, all eyes on him as he strode towards the bewildered giant, "Is there an issue my boy?" Banner asked, his tone slightly irritated despite the gentle look on his face.Cas muttered one word, "Thatch...." he had never seen such flurry of emotion take over a man, First confusion, then realization, next was fear, then..... hate, 'Right.... the Golden bastard screwed over his ancestors centuries ago,' Cas recalled the brief talk they had about Zebediah Thatch inside Dark Circus.Banner turned towards one of his subordinates, "Tend to the flames.... do not charr them!" He warned, The poor fella's face turned pale but he nodded vigorously as he took over the grill.Banner gestured and the two men made their way to a secluded area, From the corner of his eye, Cas noticed Sally get up and stride towards them, "Wait! What's this about!" She yelled, they didn'
