“Heyyyy,” Reus greeted his scowling son awkwardly. It was easy to act cool when there was a murderer after his son, but now that the nuisance had been dealt with, he had to face the son he had abandoned for the first time in a year. It was even worse when he was reminded that his son had been stuck in another universe for a few more years. Just imagining how his boy would have felt when he woke up to two absent parents made him nervous.Mane stared at Reus expressionlessly. His excitement of being reunited with his father had faded the moment Ares lost his life, and his mind was clear to think again. Immediately, he realised why Reus was here. The man who was supposed to be at Olympus, fighting for the throne and restoring it to normalcy, was here. Clearly he was here to watch his son’s debut into the world of heroes. While that was sweet in its own way, he had abandoned his son to restore balance to his place of origin. For like it or not, he was still an Olympian. To come here and
“Hmm. So, he failed. Did I expect too much from a fool?”In a realm that embraced darkness and chaos more than it did order, the Reaper sat on a throne higher and greater than any other in the universe. Fire and lightning dominated this realm, and the winds that blew over were too violent to be sought by anyone. Tornados and tsunamis co-existed in a chaotic harmony that was bolstered by the constant earthquakes and violent tremors; yet in all this, the Reaper sat confidently and calmly. His throne was unmoved neither was his frame. He regarded everything calmly and confidently, for he was the Reaper!“I guess this was a lapse in judgement on my part. Asking a fool who had lived his entire life in the shadow of his father to take command was a mistake. I guess that makes me a fool as well.”The Reaper chuckled softly, causing the rampaging elements to momentarily lose their power. Peace returned to this realm for a few seconds before chaos erupted again. It was almost as though the ele
“Who are we going to meet first, Loki? You have said nothing to me about the reason why we are here. Are you going to keep me in the dark even though you asked that I come with you?” Ananse, the Goddess of Wisdom formerly known as the Spider Goddess, frowned as she spoke.She was walking together with Loki through Gowen City. Both who large cloaks that hid much of their appearance, and their hoods concealed their faces perfectly. The two had arrived in the Dreamscape Universe through means that only Loki knew and had immediately come to this remote planet. This had confused Ananse of course, for the reason why they were here had been laid out to her by the God of Mischief; yet for some reason, the God of Mischief had been tight-lipped about their next move and why they were here, in a planet as weak and barren as this one.“We are here,” Loki, the one Mane had called Uncle Jake for a large part of his life, stopped in front of an artisan shop with a stern look on his face.Ananse gave
“Alucard, is that letter legitimate?” Dracula, the Vampire Lord, looked over the contents of the letter in his hands another time.His blood red eyes were bright and energetic, a stark contrast to what they had been a few weeks ago. Those formerly bleak and guilt-ridden eyes were filled with life and hope and from the way his fingers that held the letter trembled, one could tell just how much the contents of that letter meant to him.“I believe that it is. Those are Loki’s words. He filled it with his power to ensure its legitimacy.” Alucard answered plainly, but his voice was filed with hope.“This is good news then,” Dracula smiled and said.How much his shoulders had carried! The guilt of being a burden to the one he was actually supposed to protect and the despair of losing their only chance to have their clan restored had been eating away at his soul for months. His sorrow and despair were felt by Lilith and Alucard who also understood the gravity of the situation. While they kne
“It seems that we have to leave this place and abandon our chase,” a woman who was as beautiful as the sun itself, muttered silently yet loud enough for the man standing next to her to hear.“We cannot do that. We have been pursuing them for months and have come closer than ever before. We cannot let this chance go past us. We may never get it again. Once we lose them, it’s over. What will we tell the Lord? That we failed yet another mission?”The man next to her voiced his disagreement clearly. His body was riddled with injuries and his gloves had long lost their lustre. Though he was bleeding through several orifices, his aura was still as intimidating and as authoritative as it was when he was at full strength. That was not surprising though, for this man was the 2nd Sky! As for the person next to him, she was someone familiar to Mane. She was someone he thought he knew and a person he had loved dearly. She was known to him as Sunflower, but her true identity was more insidious. Fo
"Grab that bastard!" There was commotion in the market square as a hooded figure jumped over a table filled with apples and sprinted towards the exit of the market square. The shout came from one of the guards who immediately proceeded to chase the figure. The running figure was seemed calm and composed as he continued to run towards the exit that had been blockaded and was chock-full of guards. The guard who shouted for his arrest was the captain of the royal guards. An elite wielder with mastery over the earth element and with a strength 'glow'.Wielders were individuals who had awakened their bloodlines and had gained a certain amount of control over an element. The captain had awakened a rank nine bloodline, a superior rank bloodline. The bloodline he awakened was that of the dark lion, a legendary creature that caused earthquakes on a whim. The glow he inherited was a strengthening glow. A glow is an ability that is obtained upon awakening one's bloodline
Mane was currently on the second level of the school library. It had been a week since he was admitted. Classes were great and studies were fine. Since all the first years were mostly six year olds, the first three years of school was aimed at increasing their intelligence. Actual combat training and fieldwork would begin in their 4th year.Mane was reading a book on Basic Strategies for Beginners. However he was not alone. Two 6 year olds sat across Mane's table. These six year olds were Mane's roommates. They shared the same looks and were identical twins. They were talking about the hottest topic in the kingdom- the death of Baron Coal. "It's a surprise that the Baron was killed. I mean with his intelligence and protection from the king, how could this happen", one of the six year olds stated while brushing his brown hair away from his face.Mane looked at the boy who asked the question- John- as one would a dim-witted person.
Mane looked at the towering mountains before him and felt strangely at peace. He walked forward and sat upon a chair-shaped rock which oddly enough, was placed before the 5th mountain. He sat there for about 5 minutes listening to their whispers. He did not understand the language they spoke but he could make out some common words- Sam, hunter, gods, emperor, the eternal, asteroth and ushaki. He had no idea how he could understand those words so he reckoned that they wanted him to hear just that. Mane was a patient boy. He waited until the voices died down before he spoke. "I want to ask a question". For about 30 seconds there was no reply but Mane knew they heard and understood him so he did not speak out again. "Hehe, he wants to ask a question", spoke the voice from the 6th mountain. "Should we allow him", spoke the voice from the 9th mountain. "He should be allowed. For he is us and we are him", this time it was the voice from the 3rd mountain that spoke. Mane looked at the moun
