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
Lars, Vayu, Mell, Rachelia, Tirana and Vorpaltinger had descended into the giant pit and exploring the corridors of Rasalhague Castle underground by then. Lars was starting to feel himself sweaty and greasy, and it wasn't because of the narrow, humid spaces they were traversing. He could feel himself deteriorating, both from inside and outside.Everywhere Lars looked, there was always something made of slitherite. The walls, ceiling panels, floor tiles, the doors, everything. It made Lars sick, literally and figuratively, and the feeling was shared with the rest of his Scion friends."God fucking damn it, I fucking hate this place," Mell breathed out, sweating."Yes, Mell. We've heard you the first fifteen times," Rachelia said.Vayu didn't say anything. Lars could see that friend of his was slightly falling apart as Vayu held his own hand to stop his fingers untangled like a candy wrapper. Lars reached out and held Vayu closer to him by his shoulder. Vayu just smiled in respon
When Edwin didn't scream, everything was quiet. Too quiet. Lars was sitting in the other room with Tirana and Vorpaltinger, not wanting to see Rachelia's 'infamous' interrogation method. He sat on the couch, lost in deep thoughts of processing what he feels about the recent reveal about his friends.Vorpaltinger sat next to Lars and leaned back, resting on her wings. Lars gave her a fleeting smile before he spaced out again, and this time Vorpaltinger didn't let him."It might seem cruel to you, but The Mandate is important for all of us mythfolks to keep. It protects us from the world too, so... I completely understand why they did it."Lars blinked. "You heard that?""I heard everything. Blame my rabbit ears for that."Vorpaltinger raised her foot on top of the table and stretched. "The Scions... can be quite intimidating to say the least, but they do care. They just happen to understand what's important and the scope of their duties so they won't exert themselves unnecessa
"Len! Len, please snap out of it!" Lars exclaimed.Magnus laughed in the most obnoxious way possible to Lars' ears. "Don't even bother. He already knows. He just chooses to be here. After all, he is reborn as a new god and destined to bring us the promised world."Lars looked at Magnus and then to Len. He didn't want to believe the word of a man who had been lying to them for years, but those unflinching silver eyes deterred Lars quite a bit. Lars wanted to jump down but the synchronized aims from the Sovereigns' guns everywhere stopped him."Len, don't listen to anything he says! He's a monster! He lied to us the whole time.""Lars, please," Vayu said behind him. "If we don't do something, we're gonna be dead here."Lars wanted to scream and break things out of frustration, but he knew Vayu was right. Without turning, Lars nodded and Vayu took the cue. The reflecting threads spread into millions and slicing the Sovereigns in front of Vayu. Their fallen, mutilated bodies made
The Grand Serpent watched the world laid before him in such a curious gaze. Lars was shuddering from the sheer size of that creature. His trembling hand found his star necklace, and its chain rattled alongside his tremors. He kept taking quick, deep breaths but they weren't as helpful as he hoped.Lars braved himself to look away, but the dread caught him by the throat to the point it was physically hurt to move his neck. He watched as the others were in shambles like he did. Mell was backing away as he looked up, stumbling to a few rubbles. Rachelia supported herself by her umbrella and Wilhelmina was on the ground next to her, leaning helplessly to the ruins of Regulus. As for who held Lars' hand, it turned out to be Vayu. Though Vayu was trembling, he didn't let his gaze broke away from the Grand Serpent."V - Vay..."Vayu's spiteful gaze was a thinly veiled look of fear, but at the very least Lars noticed a form of resistance from him. He realized for Vayu, it was probably li
