Monarch Of Darkness, Arsene Chapter 221
Advertisement
"Arsene has such a flare for the dramatics, playing with the emotions of everyone like they were toys. Don't you agree?" I asked, placing my palm upon my chin as a voice I had not heard in a while entered my ears. It was soft yet charming, captivating the minds of all who heard it.
"Agreed, he is playing them yet; they do not even realize it," Loki said as he sat beside me, looking down at the raging Aseir clan members roar. "But do you think it's wise for him to do as such? or was this your plan?"
He is fishing; no matter how I answer, he would gain some insight into the relationship Arsene and I have. However, this is to be expected towards the God of Mischief.
"Loki, why are you here?" I coldly asked, "With the Civil War going on, should you not help your fellow Gods?"
"Fellow Gods?" He mocked with a condescending smile, "I stand by myself, girl, I hold no loyalty to anyone,"
"Please, you act like this civil war was not your fault." Another voice spoke as my gaze slowly began to chill at the magnificent goddess to my right sitting beside me with a carefree expression, " Was it not you that wished for this war? You manipulated my brother and forced a war with those brutes."
"Freya, whatever do you mean?" Loki asked with an innocent smile, yet his gaze held a deep amusement. I could see no lust nor hate within his gaze or aura but rather... chaos.
"With Odin's death, you played Thor like the fool he was. He was a shortsighted warrior and now a shortsighted king. Even with Odin Force, that fool was still conned force like a dog into a war that didn't even make sense." Fraya spat in disgust, "Than again I respect nothing less from such a man, but form you. A being whose only goal is chaos, it makes perfect sense."

Shrugging, Loki turned to smile with his emerald color eyes while his long back hair with emerald tips began to glimmer. "So, girl, do you know why we are here?"
"I would hope to join me!" I spoke, enjoying the little show Arsene was putting on for me. "I am sure you all know what is happening by now."
Frowning at my response, Freya sneered, "Join you? The Court of Nox is about to raid this plain, yet you wish for us to join you?"
"Freya, where was the court of Nox when the War of Demons and Devils happened?" I asked in a decrepit tone, slowly losing my enjoyment in the play below from the constant disruption.
"With the Death of Odin, you all ran, leaving the war to hide within Yggdrasil," I spat in contempt as Freya began to pale, remembering what she saw. "Demon and Devils ran through creation like it was a whore. At first, they began decimating life, but as time began to pass, they grew bored before enslaving various mythologies for fun. "
Turning to her, I could feel her apprehension as I continued, "So tell me, where was the Court of Nox then? Let me tell you. They were begging like whores for the angels to help, trying to gain some type of advantage over the demons. However, we outnumbered everyone in every subject. Magic, bloodline, numbers, everything. Where it not for those beings invading, and Asmodeus growing bored creation would have been within the hands of the Demons."
"So you ask that we join you so that we might live? even when your chances are..." Loki asked with an amusing smile.
"Loki, personally, I don't think I can persuade you. No, I know I cannot. That will be left to Arsene. Two beings of chaos, working together, I could imagine the amount of damage you two will cause." I curtly said as he froze in surprise, "Speak with him. As for Freya, stop beating around the bush and speak what you wish. I grow tired of this."

Nodding, a smile suddenly sprung from her lips, causing me to roll my eyes at the switch of her face. All the emotions she displayed were but a test to see how much I knew or if I would cave."
"We want access to a Horseman Gate," Freya asked in a rather chilling tone.
"Are you suicidal?" I blatantly asked as Loki also nodded.
"I agree with the little girl's statement. What good is access to a horseman's gate?" He asked. However, I felt he already knew the answer.
"I heard each gate holds a primordial rune upon them; I wish to study them," Freya said as I suddenly broke out into laughter. Even with abyssal qi running through my body, I could not help but laugh in disdain.
"You?! You are no elder god, nor an empyrion god. Yet you want to study those runes. Stop insulting me, or we are done." I coldly said as I could feel Ezra gaze upon me. Watching as we spoke.
Freya seemed a little disturbed as she bit her lips in agitation, "Fine, we want to join you because we are scared. The moment we felt the abyssal force, we knew... We knew we would only have two options."
Narrowing my gaze, Loki of to the side lost his amusement and, for the first time, held a serious expression, "I saw what the demons did, and were it not for Yggdrasil, we would have all been killed or enslaved. They killed, robbed, raped, and pillage to their heart's content. I saw an entire verse burn by a demon known as Bohoment. There was no fighting them, only dying." Freya whispered in a deep tone.
"and what of the Aesir gods?" Loki viciously said,
"Loki, stop sowing chaos. This has nothing to do with them." Freya angrily yelled as a divine qi began to springform her body. "Odin died almost instantly along with two other gods. I will not have the past be repeated. Especially since 'they' are all alive, are they not?"
Narrowing his gaze, Loki frowned, "What are you talking about?"
Sending a chilling glance towards Loki, Freya sneered, "we left the war early, but...but at the end, those that survived were so powerful, the average demon could challenge a god-like me and you. They grew so powerful that their low-grade soldiers were at our level. "
"Ah, you are talking about the Infernal Legion," I suddenly said with a smile, " many died due to greed within the hells and was recreated, but I will say about a thousand still lives, and the rest is in deep stasis. They were the first in and last out during the war."

Starchild
“It’s life’s illusions I recall. I really don’t know life at all.” from the song, Both Sides Now, by Joni Mitchell Starchild is an adventure novel set within an understanding of reality that is rooted in Eastern spiritual traditions.It takes as its starting point experiments in remote viewing that were genuinely undertaken by the American military in the nineteen-nineties under the name of the Stargate Project. It then imagines how a more advanced attempt to weaponise the capabilities of consciousness might have been developed in the present day.The story then explores how Ultimate Reality might respond to such a threat.Deep, elemental forces thus bring together Samantha Martin and Sahadeva Varma, old colleagues from the Stargate Project, to avert the apocalyptic consequences of this military attempt to weaponise consciousness. This fast-paced story spans genres including romance, action, adventure, science fiction and more. Although this story is based on concepts drawn from established spiritual traditions, these have sometimes been extrapolated to the point of very extreme speculation for the needs of an adventure story.Much of the underlying philosophy, however, as explained in the dharma talks given by Samantha Martin, is paraphrased from the guidance of respected spiritual teachers. Scheduling: Starchild is a previously unpublished novel of one hundred thousand words which was serialised in weekly instalments over twenty-five weeks from 15th November 2021 to the 29th April 2022. Each instalment contains five chapters – an average of approximately four thousand words in each instalment.

Tales of Light
These are a collection of short stories following different narratives. It's more like a playground and experimenting with ideas or subjects I don't want to write a complete story about. It's also a place to test my skills as a writer. Think of it as a notebook of un/finished ideas. Feel free to pick and choose which chapters to read. They aren't related unless specifically said otherwise. Just relax, enjoy, and cringe at goofy stories. There may be a timeline of events, or not... who knows?
