"Victory!"

The scream was in the Dragon Guards. Flung in the air behind them their helmets, with shouts of joy as the last of the armored transports of the Council ran away into the open, their tires screaming on the asphalt.

Alex was approached by General Talon, who was limping on with a broad smile on his blooded face. "We did it, Lord! We drove them away, like whipped dogs! The Underground City is safe!"

Alex was on the wreckage of the Command Carrier and the dust was settling. Sarah was sta

  • Sins of the Father

    The Capital Sky.The air was blowing a gale, and the smell of it was ozone and ash of the city in fire.Alex was one hundred feet above the destroyed harbor and his Dual-Element Qi had been holding him up. But his is flickering energy. The God of War had never been paralyzed in ten years.He looked at the face of the man who was floating across him. The mythical dark gold and crimson armor. The arrogant obstinate mouth. The eyes were blazing golden now and black.Father," Alex said, the word choking him like a fragment of a glass.This last Dragon King smiled. It was not the smiling welcoming face that Alex remembered as a child. It was a sneer cold and proud, That changed his scarred face to a mask of cruelty."You didn't die?" No, no, his mind was saying, it won’t be so. Ten years ago... the Temple told you that you had sacrificed yourself to close the Void Rift in the Forbidden Zone. You died a hero."A mean, yelling laugh burst out of the Emperor."A hero?" The Emperor laughed, an

  • The Sky is Falling

    "Redline the engines!"The roar of Alex was heard throughout the command bridge of the Leviathan, as soon as the heavy airlock doors shut them behind.Captain Nemo never asked anyone a question. He could look at the horrible, two-colored light of the eyes of Alex and the pure panic in the rest of the team. Nemo dropped his chrome hand upon the main thrust levers, and struck them over the safety locks.VROOOOM!The huge Black Iron sub struck the water wildly into the air. The Qi engines came on, and a wake of boiling water was reeling away as it created a froth of the silt of the ocean bottom."We are ascending too fast!" The screaming alarms said that Nemo screamed. Shrapnel were flying down through the ceiling consoles. The pressure delta is going to squeeze us inside-out! She's gonna shake apart, Alex!""She will hold!" Alex shouted.He didn't hesitate. He unzipped the World Core of his belt which held the glowing, multi-colored core. The Qi in the air in the bridge thickened immedi

  • The King's Refusal

    "Sacrifice the Phoenix."The utterance of the First Emperor was suspended in the silent, cavernous Throne Room, more massive than the force of 100x gravity field that he had flung in a few moments past.He even indicated Sarah with his sticky, withered, mummified finger.It is to this meteor iron throne that the old seals of the Origin fasten the World Core, rasped the Emperor with his eyes made of gold-red. It has made its seat here ten thousand years. The bindings are absolute. In order to shatter them, the Core must be infused with pure Yang energy in vast quantities and continuously. It has to scald the seals inward.The Emperor dropped his hand and turned his eyes on Alex.thou art disordered in thy Dual-Elements. It takes only the pure and pure fire of the Phoenix. But the Core is greedy. It will not just take her fire. It will take her life force. It will burn her soul to ash."The Emperor was bending over his throne.One death to save billions, Dragon King. That is the math of

  • The Emperor's Test

    The canvas of reality screamed.It was a voice such as a tearing metal and reverberating in the cavernous Throne Room. Out of the ragged ten-foot hole in the space that the First Emperor had cut, the abyss poured.Then there was the hands, bony limbs, grimy claws that clutched onto the sides of the rift. Then came the bodies."Void Crawlers!" Glacia screamed, and stepped aside, as the first wave struck the marble floor.They were wolves without skin, completely of jagged black smoke and deadness. They did not have eyes, but only open mouths which were stuffed with needle like teeth. And they were fast. Unnaturally fast.A dozen of them threw themselves over the room, defy of gravity, made their way upon the walls and upon the roof, and turned against the intruders."Die, beast!" Talon roared.He swung his broadsword in a tremendous movement, which was intended to cut the lead Crawler in half. The steel blade hit the nail, and went right through the neck of the creature.SWISH.There w

  • The Ruler's Intent

    "Let us see if your spine is made of iron... or glass."The First Emperor didn't walk. He didn't run.He simply ceased to be on the dais and appeared directly in front of Alex.Under one hundred times normal gravity, where even a Primordial Ice Dragon was forced to her knees, the mummified corpse moved faster than a sniper’s bullet.The jagged black sword descended, aiming to cleave Alex in two from the crown of his head to his boots.Alex barely had time to react. He didn't swing; he just threw the golden blade of the Dragon Slayer Sword upward in a desperate horizontal block.CLANG!The impact was apocalyptic.A shockwave of pure force exploded outward, shattering the pristine marble pillars nearest to them.Alex felt like he had just been hit by a freight train traveling at the speed of sound. His arms went numb instantly. The bones in his wrists groaned, mere millimeters away from splintering.He couldn't hold his ground.SKRRRRRRT!Alex was thrown backward. His boots dug into the

  • The Tomb of the First Emperor

    The water broke.The Leviathan vacuumed through the underwater lake and tumbled into the air-filled chamber of the Antechamber of Origin.Captain Nemo shut off the great Qi engines. Silence which followed was heavy, old-fashioned, and complete.The mechanical voice of Nemo came over the intercom of the ship. The atmosphere is not unbreathable. In fact, it is superior to breathable. My sensors are going crazy. The Qi density is out of the scale.Alex got out onto the upper deck of the submarine, and then there was Sarah, and then Talon, and Old Ghost, and then Glacia.Nemo was right. An instant Alex drew his breath he felt as though he had drunk a gallon of pure, liquid energy. His meridians channels throbbed with happiness. The fatigue of battle with the Void General, the tension of life in the abyss, it was all gone in a moment.Their view extended to the City of Origin.It was breathtaking. The city, sprawling in all directions below the shining emerald dome, was entirely composed o
