When Lars arrived at Castor - Pollux, he saw Vayu stood at the sundial plaza on the peak of Librarium, watching as the sky darkened. The smokes blended in with the darkness, but the fires that caused them became only more prominent. Lars landed near Vayu and greeted him with a smile."Hey, how's the evacuation going?" Vayu asked."It went well. Mell and Wilhelmina are on their way here now with the depthdweller clans. I just went ahead because... you know, I can fly."Vayu chuckled. "Did we got all of them? Coral Coven, Slicerfin and such?"Lars lost his smile as he shook his head. "There aren't many who can go with us on the land, and they've lost a great number of their clan members already.""Oh... well, I guess that should be expected.""How about here? How's the fortification thing going?""We haven't even started, bud. We're waiting until all the Alliance is here."Lars didn't want to look stupid so he just nodded along, pretending he knew why. During the discussi
It was only after things truly settled down that Lars could take a more casual stroll to appreciate the wonder that was Librarium of Records. For the past two days, he had been busy with the evacuation and didn't have time to unwind. Although, he actually still didn't, as the battle will soon to commence and he was running out of time.In his spare time, Lars often haunted the spiraling corridors of the Librarium. The records were kept in runes all over the walls and to access them required aether energy tuning of a Scion. Vayu had kindly taught Lars how to did that and since then, he began his tireless journey of scouring the records to undone Len's condition.Lars touched a white rune symbol on the wall and it lit up, flooding his brain with words and information. He didn't fancy the numbing feeling it caused, but he tolerated it for Len's sake. He had looked through almost everything regarding the Silver Devils - or VEIL in VERSE - and learned more than necessary about nearly ov
The sky was still dark when they left Librarium, and the air was bitingly cold, too cold for summer. It made Lars wondered whether it was an ill omen, but he put that thought away as quickly as it appeared. He looked over behind and he reminded himself that he wasn't alone and it will be alright. He watched as the Alliance marched towards the impending battle against the Sovereigns under the guise of early dawn.Lars was in the sky, standing on top of floating red poppy platform. Rachelia navigated its flight as she enjoyed her prim and proper breakfast, served by Wilhelmina. On the other side, Mell and Vayu played some poker instead. Lars couldn't believe in tense moment like that, they could still act so casual like they were heading for a picnic, not a war."You guys are really something else," Lars muttered.Rachelia made a slight chuckle, apparently hearing Lars. "It's good to lighten up first and clear your head of unnecessary worries, you know?""Yeah, we know who we're
Tirana felt bad for abandoning her assigned post to guard the Librarium, but this must be done. She will not know peace if she let this chance slipped away, so she packed up her deadliest potions and everything she needed in her sling bag, then took off the second the Alliance walked away. Her grip on Mist Lotus tightened as she flew higher towards the morning clouds."Are you sure about this?" Vorpaltinger asked. This was the third time she asked this."Yes, absolutely." Tirana turned to the flying therianthrope who carried her, and smiled. "Thank you for doing this for me.""You're welcome. I'd like to get in on some action myself."And for that, Tirana was grateful. She saw a hint of objection in Vorpaltinger's eyes when she was assigned guarding the Librarium so it only took a quick persuasion to get the proud warrior's help. There were still people evacuated from Castor - Pollux needing the Alliance's protection, so they needed someone to hold the fort. Vorpaltinger appare
The Chimeras filled the skies of Regulus, so much that it looked like silver storm was happening. Vayu despised this color with every fiber of his beings and he was determined to bring back the colors of the skies. His flames burned hotter and brighter in every blasts.Vayu had transformed to many gigantic mythical beasts to find out which form was most effective dealing with this swarm of Chimeras. If his body was too large, he left himself open for receiving more attacks despite the huge boost of strength, so he returned to his human form. He wanted to conserve his energy because he couldn't let loose just yet.The Heavensbloom fairies who fought by Vayu's side were evidently overwhelmed. One by one, their formation was nipped by the edges, scrambled or fallen somewhere. If Vayu had his way, he would've send them away from the first place but to command such thing to a clan of warriors would definitely be insulting.Roxanne flew to Vayu, panting and full of raw scrapes. "Fox, w
Mell saw a tower of rainbow flames erupted in the distance, and he just knew something bad happened to Flare Fox. He had been enjoying himself fighting against the humongous Prime Chimera Varanus, but if something triggered Flare Fox to such extent, nothing good could come out of it.Varanus, who was by then had turned so large his shoulders brushed the top of most buildings, rampaged across the streets and swatting away every manmade structures he came across. Mell kept landing his blows with Balor but nothing seemed to get through Varanus' thick skin.Mell raised his hand, created a gigantic stalagmite and extended it to spear Varanus' chest. The lizardman hold the incoming stalagmite with both hands, growling while he was at it. This was what Mell counted for and he struck Balor to the ground, shattering the ground and the crack traveled underneath Varanus' feet.In a loud crumbling noise of destruction, Varanus stumbled to a pit Mell created. Though it was roughly tens of met
The silver scaled young man felt several tremors happening throughout Rasalhague Castle. He had heard the call of arms that sent his siblings into the battle on the surface, along with army of Heavenbeasts. However, he wasn't allowed to join them. Not yet, the Chancellor Magnus said.Therefore, the silver scaled young man waited, deep underground where a strange machinery was erected. It was shaped like a serpent coiling over a silver crystal, its glow was steady and calming. The silver scaled young man didn't know what that was, but he was told to guard it and that it was important."What is going on up there?" he asked.The guard who was assigned with him turned. "We've launched the Chronica Phase, my Prince. The enemies are most certainly annihilated by now."The silver scaled young man hummed. "Don't be too sure."There was someone lurking in the hallways above. The silver scaled young man looked up, and with his innate Gift to sense through walls laced with Holy Silver,
When the smokes cleared out, Rasalhague Castle was reduced to nothing. The sky was pale and ashy and the strange smell from the ashes made Lars' nose shriveled. He tried to not breathe it in out of fear it was made of slitherite compounds that could poison him in some way. He was then more surprised he could hold his breath for a very long time."Rachel! Vay! Where are you?"Lars felt his presence sensory failing him. He figured it was either from the impact from the blast or the ashes. The communication talisman he brought also didn't respond when he called the others over and over to it.In a world of pure silver, Lars walked around aimlessly. It felt like he was suddenly transported to a different world altogether, he couldn't recognize anything. There were rubbles but there was no fire, like the explosion had long happened while in reality it was minutes ago.The silver ashes landed on Lars' head and he cleaned them off with vigorous rubbings. He did the same to his clothes
