2023-02-05 11:33:56Whatever those sensations were and from wherever they originated, the turbulence which their drifting enacted was cosmic. As though the infinite expanse of the cosmos had a heart, the ether throbbed making this expanse quake in vivid undulating waves of marmoreal depths. It was abyssal but not beyond the depth of the conflict which was about to ensued. Had the ethereal expanse of this realm had been given a voice, it would swear that this turbulence had given it a strange sensation, those martial cadencies of the ancients, the ever renowned heat of battle. Surreal and livening this sensation which had always haunted my soul all these years was at the verge of being unleashed. At the cliff of voids, the nebulous distance ahead of this city of asteroids soon became a sea of armour and flags. At the outskirts before them was an assaulting army of the imperial crusaders.
Metallic and octahedral structures emerged from every asteroid within this solar-city, surrounding the entire terrain preparing a defensive wall against the assault. The octahedral structures disintegrated emitting live radioactive sparks, drawing themselves into distinct positions, they formed a blockade of concentric rings that surrounded the entire solar system. Cerulean forcefields emerged forming spherical shields, their surfaces radiating the fierce and destructive energy they wielded. Cooling one after the other they each condensed into a collosal sphere of turbulent and radioactive steel. Successfully enacting their defensive stance, they awaited the start of a siege. The ether charged with emissions given off from the heliobattlements, began their radioactive rippling, igniting itself into emerald and molten flames, wielding the vivid streaks of forking lightning coursing within it's entrails, created from the very rage of the darkest depths of power this city possessed, a power it wielded from its seven suns. Unending in its destructive transformation, this embryo of fire began the birthing of an army of titanic and radioactive beasts - emerald dragons wielding the fierce fire of seven suns - they charged, diving into this sea of chaos, into the inviting heat of battle. The fangs of vision drew sight through the distance, towards the front lines of the attacking army, that assaulting fleet of battleships. There he stood, at the forefront of this army, his expansive battlecarpet, the flagship of his fleet, leading the assault. Purple robes cascading down his physique, draped over his purple crystalline armour. Two fang-like horns pierced their way through his helmet, curving downwards they were massive. Not just horned at the forehead, two more pairs bore themselves out of his shoulders and elbows. Staring down at his prize, this being of a higher cosmic order grinned delightfully at the city's fragile defensive tacts. Yes, to others this would be all about keeping the city under siege until it finally surrendered, which wasn't likely to ever happen in centuries to come. They'd be only cut off from the rest of the cosmic plain, and that wasn't a problem to solar-citys of many realms, possessing all that they needed to survive generations through a siege, they left the enemy with no other choice but to retreat or make the unthinkable decision of bringing down such a stellar wall of defence. And that was Zark Novic for you, he wasn't known as the Zark of the Zolastran Seas for nothing. His fierce blue eyes were amused at the beasts which city had set upon his army. Novic's gaze moved to his left, staring at the flanks to his side, he saw the voyage cages which formed the majority of his fleet, needing not surveying the rest of his fleet, he was satisfied seeing the enemy's fierce stance as hilarious. Their counter assault to Novic was just a means of prolonging the inevitable, but it gave him something which he was always pleased to accept, and it was a challenge to battle, to feel that sensation of the intense heat course through his veins. They knew who he was didn't they ? And they knew what to expect from a cosmic lord like him. Raising his left hand forward, that flaring diagram of three concentric circles etched themselves on the surface of his palms. The distance between each circle had at every angle designated keys which rotated, making several revolutions creating a configuration which only Novic could comprehend. He felt the wild desire of his "pets" to be untamed flow through his soul. His pets weren't just radioactive beasts,they were live and wild, the peak of savage perfection, creatures who roamed the depths of arcane realms - they were cosmic beasts. "Patience friends" he whispered to himself grinning " your freedom will soon be yours" When the time came, they rose in fury and flames. The cages opened unveiling collosal blackholes through which they arose. Cosmic hydras , their nine heads screeching to the peaks of this realm, and their six legs plied the waves of this marmoreal sea, unleashing a tsunami of fiery waves as they confronted the enemy. The impact was fierce and colossal as both armies of beasts met at the core of this conflict, sparks of lightning and condensed flames of radioactive waves erupted, towering high like cosmic mountains above all within this astral battlefield. Through hell and fumes both armies of beasts dug their claws and fangs into each other, resulting in beastly screams and cries piercing the thin layers of vitreous air within this astral plain. Collisions intense resulting in vivid concentric ripples, expanding over this cosmic ocean, and soon, those who would reign supreme would surface above the carcass of the vanquished. Zark Novic grinned, knowing that the battle was going his way, seeing his cosmic beasts send those massive radioactive structures into oblivion. Didn't they know that nothing could ever surpass the natural. His beasts were natural, of fresh and blood, steaming of the infinite cores of energetic pulses which streamlined the plains of these cosmic seas. And not even their fearsome holograms could match the brutal and stellar strength his beasts possessed. Seeing the ranks of the city's army of beasts dwindle, Novic stretched his hand forwards, an order to advance towards the heliobattlements. One by one, Novic reasoned, delightfully, they were going to ram down those stellar shields into ruins. There was no race, city or empire that had ever overcame an invasion made by him, and they weren't going to be the first. He could see the guarded city's walls enlarge as his army came closer with each passing moment, closing the distance between them and their prized objective. Their will unwavering, the city unleashed reenforcements, they poured out through the pores which had been made by the enlarged battlements. This time, they weren't beasts but battleships, battlecarpets and interstellar chariots. Now this was real combat, Novic's grin widened as battlecries erupted from the men of his fleet who were more than prepared to confront the enemy. This was the true essence of their nature, a warring tribe they were, and war they were going to wage. Lifting his hand upwards, those three concentric circles etched themselves once again on his palms, those configurations reenacting themselves, with the ideograms sliding through their circular pathways. The order drew his cosmic beasts back into their cages. The battlecries intensified, heightening into a maddening frenzy, a lust burning through their souls, that fiery desire to crush the enemy. Drawing his sword which condensed from the energy pulses within the air, Novic's eyes ignited themselves into flames, glaring furiously upon the city's fleet, knowing the grand hour for the real battle to commence was at hand. His vision heightened, taking his mental sight into a cosmic state of elevation, making the solidity within the atmosphere shatter as sharp edged forcefields closed the equidistant gap of time and space. Both armies faded past the invisibly linked walls of atmospheric glass like raving dunes. The flow of vibrations traversed Novic's neurons, doublehelical in perception, and the anarchy of his mind and soul pushing his being into a neuro-epistemic frenzy of energy. Feet light and soul mighty he struck, leaping onto the first battlecarpet that clashed with his fleet, as the grand hour faded into a clash of blades.

PHASE ONE Rakeal who was seated on the throne had only one thing in mind, how to ensure that his campaign wasn't nipped in the bud. The feudal lords of the realm in which he had invaded as well as the emperor of this empire had already began to rally their forces to take him down. But it didn't matter anyway, this was simply a game of politics, most importantly, he had been able to find a clue about the whereabouts of the Harp of Discord. This was one of the realms which was in alignment with the entity's astral flow, which meant that they were on the right path, so why would he give up on his prize over the likes of a few cocky politicians. This war was inevitable right from the very start and it was so unfortunate for them that it was him, that they'd be dealing with. "Zavir", Rakeal summoned. Zavir's form appeared before him on his knees, it wasn't the real Zavir, just a holograph. "Bring me Destovar", Rakeal ordered. "Yes your highness", Zavir replied with the holog

PHASE ONE Standing before the five kneeling warriors at the base of this dais, Norx Hade Zex gave his order. "You must find the Dark Child of War." *** Nomad's eyes glistened with delight, watching those endless clusters of four pillars stood tall upon this marmoreal sea before him. Their cores blazing of and intense energetic sensation. These astral cadencies were indeed horrifying to the weak. But he wasn't included in that category, this was just a test to see how his strength had improved since the passing of the last Calamity. *** "What do you suggest we do general Ozar ?" The commander asked. "Just watch", Ozar ordered, "watch calmly and take note of every detail within this conflict. We must know how powerful our enemy is." *** Those moans rose from the cores of those clusters of pillars. Those stellar reverberations made the foundations of this astral plain tremble and those lightning flashes heralded the coming of these astral lifeforms. From the s

PHASE ONE His eyes opened to find himself floating in this sphere containing a blue of fluid. Staring around trying to make out his surroundings, Kied realized that his sense of sight was still blurred. "There's no problem with that", he thought, "I can still go back to sleep then." Closing his eyes, Kied drifted back to sleep. Still he could hear those voices, although he wasn't awake, he knew the persons speaking. "I saw him open his eyes just now", the female voice said. "Why didn't I notice it ?" The other voice said. "How can you see clearly through the liquid he's sleeping in ?" The female voice answered. "I thought you weren't bothered about him, why are you making a fuss all of a sudden." Even in his sleep Kied's teeth gritted themselves, these two siblings were so annoying, and the funny part was, their names started with the same letter, making it sound like the name of some fashion brand whenever they're called together, "JAMES AND JUDITH". But wha

PHASE ONE "Then who could he be ?", Ozar mused. "We can't hold back any longer", the commander warned, "else, our ships could get destroyed and the campaign will come to an end." "I already thought about that", Ozar affirmed, "then let's step it up a bit." *** Nomad watched the battleships of this army's vanguard fall back, he had anticipated something like this. Smiling to himself, he just wondered, what the hell were they about to bring forth. "What makes you so bold to stand in our way celestial being ?!" Nomad's grin widened, telepathy ! Someone must be there that has a significant amount of power, this was going to be interesting. "What makes you stand in the way of the APEX COSMA ?!" The voice questioned again. "Because I fell like it", Nomad replied. "I respect the fact that you are a powerful being like us", the voice continued, "so I'd advise you step out of our way if you don't want to get crushed." "What if I still refuse", Nomad challenged

PHASE ONE "What do you think is the matter ? What do you think is the cause ? Even as a mother, I think he has suffered enough." "I don't know why Era, I don't know why it happened this way." "But did he ask for it ? Did he ask to be born this way ? Before he left do you know what he said to me ? "I wish I wasn't born mother, I don't want to live", that was what he had told me." "Listen Era", the male voice said, "his destiny is to achieve the unthinkable, it is that void, the realm of the unknown, a dimension of flesh and thought that drives the normal and average insane. Era, Kied can't be normal, your son can't be like others, he was destined for something else, something that even I can't understand." "But this socalled destiny is driving him insane." "The heavens know why it happened this way. Many have grasped glory and fame from the universe but in the end, they never gave back, yet, they are still celebrated and idolized. While the real builders of history an

PHASE ONE "Gora" THE FATHER sighed. "He made the choice himself", Levir recalled, "his arrogance will be his downfall." "What was he thinking ?", The Father played with his beard as he sat on his throne, "even with the liberation of the DARK LORD, Kied's power's may seem to have weakened, but in reality, they are going out of control." "His EMBRYO is reacting to the reemergence of his antithesis", Levir said. "The bad part about this is that, being out of control", the Father clenched his fist, "is being without control." *** An armour used by the dark child of war during the CARNAGE OF GODS, this armour was the subterranean form of Hypernox's being. An armour who's only cause for existence was destruction and chaos, there was only one thing that could stop it's apocalyptic march and it was the ... *** "What makes you so afraid now vermin", Kied grinned, his head tilted leftwards like a drunkard and dark eyes as ferocious as a beast, "you were warned by the

PHASE ONE "I told you Levir", the being said, "that we'll one day break free from the bondage of the CELESTIAL MACE." "And just as the FATHER said", Levir replied, "we finally broke free." "These realms before us", the being in a purple garment walked to the flower vase on the pedestal at the side of this hallway, plucking a petal, he squeezed it in his palm which ignited itself into flames, "shall burn for the glory of VERECA." *** Claws and chains entangled themselves as these two beings raged and raved, their chaotic battle of enflamed madness making the earth shiver and quake beneath the destructive might of their powers. They were gods at war, the very cause of it all becoming more vague with each passing moment. "Why hold back child of war", Gora challenged, "it won't do you any good if you silence the beast in you." "Shut up vermin !" Kied sent the chains flying at its neck. Gora caught the chain, tugging at it he pulled Kied towards him, but Kied sensi

PHASE ONE "Hasn't this story gotten boring lately." "It sure has." "From the first generation, we should be expecting something better than this." "Why not spice it up a bit ?" "A bit ?" The man sighed, "I'm pushing things to the limit." *** Kied's eyes blackened as he felt those sensations run down his spine, he could feel it, he could feel them calling him, it wasn't Hade Norx Zex this time, it was them, who were they ? "Show yourself !" Kied yelled. Looking around, he realized that he was stuck in this desolate realm of darkness, a darkness that was so dense that he couldn't even see his palms. "Your life", that voice called, "your very existence, is the birth of chaos itself." "Who are you ?" Kied called. "Me ? Who am I ?" The voice intoned. "This isn't the first time you've spoken to me." Kied accused, "so tell me", he yelled, "who the hell are you !" "Are you ready to know ?" The voice questioned, "Are you ready to know the answer ? Are
Chapter 48
His motion burned its way through distance and time, his sword and mace clashing with scores and at the same time sending scores falling dead, he seared his way through the enemy's ranks, that wall of halos and flames heralding him from behind burnt down the battleships, stellar tankers and battlecarpets of the foe. It was a surge of flames and steel and the barrage of armour and clanging shields rose to the peaks of skies of this asteroid, but he was beyond the limits of the present time. The vision of the atmosphere burnt its way through his armour, unveiling his face it revealed those burning eyes. Vision retracted as his swinging sword clanged, clashing with another foe, swirling around, he struck his opponent with his mace on the chest, sending him flying like a pebble int the air and crashing like a meteorite upon the earth. Bolting through the distance, his fluttering scarlet cape embroidered with the emblem of a six horned bull, cascaded like a waterfall of flames from h
