Beginning from the location Sasha was standing at, the gigantic Ice Barrier began to transform. The neighbouring northern Drow kingdom fell all too pitifully. She could not let her own kingdom face the same fate. before that happened, she must raise that Ice Wall, so much so, not even a dragon could not cross it. If it were a peaceful time, Sasha would have thought about hiding her power. Right now, it is more important for people to be in awe of her than for them to underestimate her. Every opponent she scared away from fighting with her is one more opponent she need not fight. Dan may be oblivious to politics, Sasha was not. Dan’s previous decision of allowing Snorcs into the Barrier has been very controversial. Most of the winterland men have lost one or other family member to Snorcs. They could not be given access to the land the same way as winterland men, no matter how useful solving previous conflicts is. Thus, Sasha decided to make that difference by herself. Th
Perseus Lustre has never expected his life to come to this. At five feet, he is a short man, with a very big head. His journey through life has been very dramatic. It all began the day king Beor Hawthorne decided to travel to the capital of winterland, winter city, and ask for the winter king’s daughter’s hand in person. As a man very much interested in all sorts of novelties, he must tag along. What novelty could be greater than winterland, the land that pre-dated magic, and practised a religion cursed by all priests. He must say, winterland stood up to its reputation of mysterious untouched land. There were not many roads a carriage could travel on. Damn it.. So, they trudged half way through the foxes. When they entered the first virgin forest of the winterland, Perseus felt the strange psychological pressure just from the majesty of the trees. Majesty of the trees is enough to intimidate him, damn it. But he was a short man, and everything in winterland is super
Other than Alicia, Sasha did not have any responsibilities at the Frontier. She did arrange for her absence, but the situation in the mountain kingdom is ever changing. While she did have better claim to the place than any other family, she is still one girl. She does not have a dedicated army behind her, only twelve loyal knights and a dragon at the moment. Right now, the dragon has been absent for too long. Last time she checked, Moon Snow was anxiously circling some place in eastern smoking sea. Sasha at that time hadn’t the strength to fight whatever presence that was affecting her dragon, but now, it’s not the same. Thus, she got down to business. She had a guard watching her room, and entered the dream state. She hopped from snow shrike to snow shrike, then one eagle to another, till she came across an albatross. Usually the albatross avoids Moonsnow. However, right now, it seems they pay no heed to it at all, as if the dragon is occupied with something else dee
A few days ago , in the Divine management office … Peter knew the moment he checked the transferee - 1134’s data he could not keep him. Now that he had already used the space destabilization engine, he could not stay any more. At the fastest, it will take 3 days for the disappearance of the destabilizer, and at the longest, about a month. Thus, he must be out of every one’s hair within two and half days. As gigantic as the endless ocean is, the Divine management office’s reach is bigger than it. Right now, the space destabilizer meets the level six storm in sector six. If damage is extensive enough, then the divine management office would get very very busy. In that case, he might even get a two month break. For now though, going to the fifth sector and settling in as private accountant for Miller Clan is impossible. Thus, he immediately opened a specially modified Dial. It's an untraceable variety, specially made by the eighth sector’s Black Mojo group. The other side answer
Outer Rim is the most disputed area in the endless sea. Literally, it’s the one place where no one is the ruler. Almost all black organizations have an office there, and almost all fringe nations meet here. This is the place where you could see technology as latest as interstellar personal wormholes to technology as old as knocking flints together to create fire. More importantly, both the technologies are being used by the same person. Why did he do such a thing when an interstellar personal wormhole costs as much as a ferrari ? Simple ! It’s to save money. He spent all he had on an Brag-worthy interstellar personal wormhole. Now, he is as broke as a naked arse cricket. Even the pigs lived better than this guy. They have premium seaweed to eat - and temperature controlled barns to rest in. In the morning, robo maids with sweet voices, and drow slaves with big tits arrive to clean them up, and send them to a newly cleaned barn ! This is just the culture. The man with the s
The Drow king arrived in a whirl of leaves. He rushed to the side of his chief adviser, looking at the image displayed on the table from all directions. “ There is no doubt. This is the Royal company’s pre-approved scroll. More than that, it allows for all transactions to be automatic, not needing to go through any approval process. The approval fee is waived, once added, they can not remove you for a hundred years. “ The king said with shining eyes. “ Then, I'll buy it ? “ The Drow in front of the station offered tentatively. Since it’s a top notch item, they also offered the top notch item they could think of. The vivacious mangrove seedling. Currently, these mangroves make up for nearly ninety percent of the rough logs in circulation. It grows fast and well in many environments. The Royal company it self pressured them into selling these seedlings to the company exclusively, but Drows refused. That is what caused the licensing disaster decades ago. Now that a newbie comes in
The Northern Drow prince Orion and his four companions stopped wondering about the actions of the southern sun king, and started working on freeing their own palace. Though it is called palace, the place is merely a coalition of ice caves, melted in the form of a giant cavern. They painstakingly moved the shopping point to the cavern. It’s not of small size, or small weight with its five great pillars and rocky interior. The shopping point occupied the prime central area, signifying its importance to their daily lives. One side, there were the piles of fish meat they bought from the shopping point. On the other side were the roughly piled carapaces and unprocessed thorn vine tentacles. All Drows have elemental powers, of one kind or another. These attributes are usually clan oriented. Southern sun clan had most wood elementals. Northwest had the most light elementals. Northern Drows are usually born with fire attributes, and the prince Orion was born with the strongest attribute a
Chad reeled in his fishing line with all his skills. He was a quarterback in the school sports team, yet, he took more pride in being the boy half the school wanted to date. With his fly away golden hair, california bronze skin, abs that look perfect in an Adidas Tee, he is the epitome of an eighties teen movie star. He could date any girl he wanted in the school, yet, the only one he seduced was Jessica simpson. Now, if it comes to Jessica, with a resemblance to Jessica Alba with her oval shaped face and perfect curves, she is the girl whom ninety percent of the school wants to date. A veritable internet star who is already well set to become the first line host, and an aspiring fashion model and actress, Jessica’s resume is as shiny as her appearance is bright. Together, they would make a beautiful couple that could take over all the beach related magazines in the country. That day Jessica was looking fine in an orange one piece, with its cut out theme that emphasized h
While Adele and Neil were discussing these details, Orion and his subjects were busy as bees. The flame crystals brought back by Neil had been handed over to the Drow king. At the time, the most vibrant flame crystal was placed in a cradle, in the center of an altar. Five Drows surrounded the altar, looking at the circle pointedly. Orion stood in the head position, the five Drows started chanting. After a time, the Drows stopped chanting and looked at the center, where a flame crystal was placed. Their eyes are full of expectation. Nothing happened. The light of hope in their eyes dimmed at the result. Their gazes turned to Orion, as if asking if they should continue. “ Continue. “ Orion ordered. The king looked on emotionlessly, despite the turmoil going on inside his head. Orion’s newly acquired ‘King’ title is not steady yet. Most of the old leaders did not agree to support Neil, but Orion just pushed it through, by the virtue of providing food and a safe place for Drows.
Sasha woke up quite late. she was lying on the furs in front of fireplace, like a kitten. She hadn't slept this well for a long while. It’s almost like a dream. Perhaps it was, given Adele was standing in the corner, staring straight at Sasha. Sasha wondered why she was able to sleep this well in the middle of a battle field. The answer was surprisingly simple. Because she was surrounded by family, and friends. Valerie fought with her life on line to protect Sasha, despite being a Snorc. Dan … he smelt like home. There are no other words for it. He was her only family, until Rudy arrived here, and probably would be her only light, when the world becomes cold and dark. Dan and Valerie's predictions about Snorc peace treaty being a ruse came true. Even so, the Snorc attack came far too fast. So much so, the defense could not even gather compleetely. Dan’s arm is still holding hers as woke. He held her hand on one side, and the hilt of the sword on the other side. W
Neil’s heart filled with unspeakable dread when he looked at the invisible shield membrane slowly covering up the temple. Every cell of his body rejected that shield with all of its being. Neil acted involuntarily. “ Retreat ! “ he screamed at the top of his lungs. His desire to take every last one of the elves with him powered his next spell. ‘ Collect ‘ Neil commanded with all of his being. His magic exploded, pulling all the nearby flame crystals, every last one of the flames whooshed out, becoming a red crystal as they rushed towards Neil. Neil, with Merlin on his back, rushed as fast as he could towards the portal that’s becoming unclear by the second. The space has become destabilized, and the time space continuum broke as the shield continued to cover the flame temple. The black flame in front of the priest is still burning, the remaining four Tomoe of the flames are still alit, but all the other flames are gone. It’s only then Neil understood the scale of
Neil retrieved his spear, changed it into a chinese slaughterer broadsword, with about three foot pole and one and half foot blade. He twirled the blade slightly, the necks of three priests were cut off. [ Experience + 5 ] [ Experience + 5 ] [ Experience + 5 ] At the same time, Merlin was not silent. He stabbed a priest, then twirled and beheaded another. [ Experience + 10 ] The message popped up. Like that, Neil and Merlin danced in the courtyard. After their decimation of fifty priests, the priests ran away, and grouped together among them. They went for the necklaces of the fire priests, coalescing the necklaces with their own. “ Merlin ! Collect the red necklaces. “ Neil commanded. The next moment, the mana blade in Merlin’s hands vanished. He stuck to Neil’s back, while Neil cut off the head, Merlin collected the necklace. They worked tirelessly, decimating the priests. However, there was no end to them. “ Blluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrroooo
While setting up camp meat just retrieving their modular home for Neil and Adele, it meant something far more complex for Drows. All the space mancers came together with their latest catch of space crystals. Then, they set up a hexagonal space barrier around a gigantic field, isolating the space from the time worm. Cosmos gave an unnecessarily long explanation, which could be summarized into ‘ this way, we don’t get sucked into the time worm’s belly accidentally ‘. The memories are cut off when Caspian and Xena enter the temple - however, at this point, Neil has come to a conclusion about one thing. They never entered the time worm’s inside. They only fought in an ephemeral space that reflected the fire temple, they did not go inside the fire temple exactly. However, the things he had in his hands are real. In Particular, land tokens have come up with real land. That means only one thing. That the real land tokens are still out there for him to grab. On top of that, he has s
Xena did not explain her intention. Obviously Caspian spent the entirety of the next hour in confused anticipation, while everyone around him laughed at him knowingly. Xena finished her selection of fabrics. She ordered another set for Caspian himself, this time, in yellow and black, with a symbol of a bull. The next announcement came after an hour. All the participants of the spring fair contest are called to a venue. There are multitudes of fabrics, clay, metal pieces, even silver, gold and gems on various tables. On the other side, there are various tools, for making pottery, for making jewelry and various other items. “ Valkyrie had long been known as the city of the craftsmen. Our women have the best of clothes, best of jewelry and best of men when it comes to that. It is your job to prove that valkians have the most dedication when it comes to love as well. You are tasked to make a token of love for your beloved. Men and women both are free to choose what they want to m
“ Ladies and Gentlemen of Valkrie ! Welcome andddddddddd… .Welcome to the sixteenth sprint fair of lover’s paradise. As always, your response has been more than hot ! This time, for the first time in the history of lover’s paradise, we meet the numbers needed for the seven trials of the couples. Without further ado, let us start the treasure hunt of the lovers. The first challenge in the game is to know how much your lover knows you. On my right side, there are cabins. Our lovely ladies will stand in the pink chair, our handsome men will sit in the blue chairs. “ The host went on to explain they would be answering three questions. As long as answers sync, the couple passes. “ What’s your man’s name ? “ they asked. “ Caspian Hart “ Xena answered, so did Caspian. What’s your girl’s name ? “ was the next question. They obviously are doing this to filter off the random game breakers from entering the game. “ Xena winter child “ Both of them answered at the same time. “ Where did
“ Hey! Stop laughing at me, you moron. “ Xena ordered Caspian bossily. “ I am not laughing at you. I am just happy we both lived till today. “ Caspian said, chortling with laughter. The words brought a hard stop to the amusement of Nadia and Tara, while Xena shared his happiness. “ Indeed ! We still have today.” Xena said, sitting down at the edge of Caspian’s bed. To be truthful, it is quite amazing. They were thrown out of the capital city in a time of strife, walked through five battles, and countless skirmishes. They crossed the sea ! Then they went to institutions which require one to be beholden to them until death, yet, they both are sitting here, free!It is nothing short of a miracle. They have dodged death by a hair’s breadth a thousand times. They have overcome insurmountable odds. “ Oh ! Stop laughing, you idiot ! She's not joking. “ Xena said, referring to Nadia. “I am not sleeping with anyone save my wife. “ Caspian answered Nadia after he got control on his ow
“ Caspian Hart ! You moron ! You stupid imbecilic idiotic jarhead ! “ Xena exclaimed, as she threw her hands on his neck. “ Hey! What’s with the over reaction ! I did not die ! “ Caspian mumbled, a hand rubbing soothingly on Xena’s back. Xena stopped crying after some time. Caspian held her lightly, enjoying the rare instances where Xena actually shows some emotion. “ What day is it ? “ he asked, after Xena pulled back from him. “ You still have the gall to ask for the day ! It's the thirtieth day after the valhallan new year. “ Xena told him. “ it’s .. My god ! Was I asleep for ten days ? “ Caspian asked in shock. “ How many days did you think it was ? “ Xena asked him angrily. “ Just .. Right after the woman in red left. She was so scary. “ Caspian exclaimed. “ Woman in red ? Madea ? “ Xena asked, an ominous feeling rising in her heart. Caspian shook his head. “ The other one. The whining fire spirits wanted her to submit to them. She ate them all ! I hid because I was a
