Maia meets Grandpa Winks
"Leave" the Emperor commanded. His subordinates didn't voice any complaints at the unexpected order, nor did they question the emperor concerning who he was referring to before. They bowed slightly and disappeared.
"Don't bother looking for them. They've already left." The Emperor turned to address the one who sat on the eternal throne, his great granddaughter. Her face was filled with shock from the Emperor's previous words. Her shock was compounded when the figures that filled the room all disappeared without a trace.
"They wouldn't be worthy nobility realm experts if they couldn't escape the senses of an earth realm genius." The Cold Emperor still had a genial smile on his face when he addressed the one he referred to as 'girl'.
"How did you…?" the king questioned, still in shock over the previous events. First and foremost, when James had bolted out of the room, the eternal throne was meant to follow the young

Hunters: The Prequel Answers Part I
"You must be thirsting for information. And you won't find them chasing after your father's memories. So I'd just answer them all here, and now." Maia nodded at her predecessor's words. She knew he was right. There was no way she'd get the answers she hoped for so quickly if she followed her father's memories. For starters, who knows how long the memories would continue for till she got a few answers? It could be months, years, or worse, decades. According to Reiki, she would only be able to observe for a month, after which she'd have to wait till he had enough energy for her to revisit the rest. A month in the memory scape was equivalent to a day in the physical realm. She was hoping to ride her luck, and successfully gain a few answers before her time ended. Now that she had a person willing to answer all her questions, she was more than pleased. It seems her luck was better than she thought. Rather, fate was on her side once more."Who are we?" Maia asked. Of
Hunters: The Prequel Answers Part II
"Still think you're a genius?" Grandpa Winks asked cockily. Maia blushed in embarrassment at his words. Her pride was not so hurt after hearing what her ancestors were capable of."Back to our story. During the years before the Supreme's birth we hid and cultivated our strength. We rarely came out, making our capture difficult. To many high races, we were extinct. Though some blamed themselves for our extinction, others cared very little. For those who did care, it wasn't an issue of kindness, but one of how to achieve eternal life without the perfect guinea pigs. Without the attention of the high races, we were able to thrive. We grew stronger and stronger. Our population increased. Many were ascenders after about fifteen years, and all the children born to the race were exceptional. Yet we didn't get carried away. We waited patiently for the birth of the Supreme. During our years of hiding, we didn't stay idle. We tracked down her planet of origin- the place she would be bo
Hunters: The Prequel Some Things Cannot Be Said Part I
Maia looked at Grandpa Winks with a concerned look on her face. The man had been laughing nonstop for about thirty seconds straight. She was wondering whether the formerly intelligent man had lost his mind, and his wits."What's happening to the old man Reiki?" she whispered softly to the eternal throne. It seems she had also been affected by the old man's crazy antics, for she chose to whisper whilst she could just communicate with the throne telepathically. Reiki glowed softly in reply, "Hush, he can hear you, you know. Whenever he gets like this that means that something good is coming our way. He's probably about to drop a huge spoiler." Maia had barely registered Reiki's words when the emperor and her great grandfather regained his sanity."There's nothing happening to me, little one. I'm just a bit excited, that's all. Do forgive me." He apologised for his earlier behaviour as he went on to say, "Let me ask you something". Maia gave he

Grandpa Winks still had his trademark smile on his face. He looked outside the window. From his room he could see James taking a stroll in the garden with Morgana's beautiful hand in his. "Hehe. Tired my ass. Immediately he gets the chance to leave he goes straight to her. Should have kept him here longer." He said softly, speaking to no one in particular. "Well, at least his feelings for her are genuine." He smiled, still watching the pair of lovers with affection."Old friend, what is it you want from me? Your new master is gone, so why are you still here?" The eternal throne that remained, even after its partner had disappeared, was covered with a brilliant light. One that shown so brightly that the inhabitants of the castle and all who were in the vicinity, beheld its glory.James looked up. His gaze was fixed firmly on the origin of the blinding light, the light that had caused some servants to start crying out that the 'god of Kelan' h
Hunters: The Prequel Dark Secrets
"How is that possible?" Reiki shook his head in disbelief. "How can the Universe Will pick the side of the dark one? It is the purest sentient form in the universe. That is impossible." Reiki argued."Even the purest of objects can be corrupted." Grandpa Winks snorted in disdain. "Not everyone can be like you with a mental age of 12 forever." He continued. All beings were born innocent. If one had any doubt about this, they could just look into the eyes of a new born. Those pair of eyes are chock full of naivety and purity, yet in a few years that wouldn't be the case. First came the mischievous stage, where they are a handful. Then came rebellion and adolescence. It is during these two stages that the character of the child is forged. By the time they reach adulthood, they would be pretty much set in their ways. The important thing is, they didn't maintain the innocence they were born with. It would be shed off long before they even reached the adolescent stage
Hunters: The Prequel Order And Edict
"Is it done?" Grandpa Winks asked his subordinate who replied in the affirmative, "It is. Everything of relevance has been sealed. He's too strong for me to wipe them away completely.""Of course he is. Even if I had your set of skills, it would be impossible for me to do it as well. He isn't an ancient divine artefact for no reason." Grandpa Winks smirked."Pardon my disapproval, my lord, but I highly doubt that. Even if he's a divine artefact, there is no way he would be able to resist you were you to possess my particular set of abilities. Ancient or not, it makes little difference." The shadow warrior denied any possibility of his master's comment being true. It wasn't just due to his complete confidence in his master's abilities, but the words of one who had witnessed the true power of a peak Ascender. These were beings that left even the Universe Will in a state of caution. His master was such an existence, and even among these legends he was highly
Hunters: The Prequel An Artefact With Free Reign Over Time
"I know you have a question to ask. Feel free Asher. I don't bite." Grandpa Winks joked good humouredly. Asher slightly bowed after receiving his master's permission. He asked humbly, "The eternal throne, Reiki, he seems to have the ability to manipulate time. How is that possible?"His question would have surprised Maia if she were still here. Simply because the eternal throne wasn't as simple as she thought. What she thought was a memory scape, a glimpse into the past if you will, was actually 'a step into the past' (author's note- loved that book by the way). Even the eternal throne had no idea he possessed this ability. To the best of his sealed knowledge, he was only accessing the memories of the masters he had before. As for why he didn't know, it was very obviously related to his sealed memories. He must have been manipulated into believing memory peeping was his ability when he was basically a time machine.On initial scrutiny, his q
Hunters: The Prequel Interrupted Midnight Stroll Part I
"I hate this feeling." Mane grumbled unhappily as he walked all alone on the deserted grounds of the Academy. He kicked away a stray pebble in frustration. On this lonely night, only the street lamps served as his escorts in his midnight stroll. What was normally a walk to clear his mind of all unnecessary thoughts was turning into a royal 'grumble', with the unwanted intrusion of several useless opinions, each eager to kick the other out, Mane wasn't able to achieve the desired effect.His late night strolls was a habit he had picked up two years ago, when he realised that there were some things that even a few hours of meditation could not fix. The cool night air that caressed his cheeks and stroked his hair was a much appreciated difference to his life of endless fighting and training. Though leaving the dormitories after the lights out bell had rung- which was at 10pm- was illegal, Mane had been breaching this rule without any adverse consequences. Mainly be
