《Emperor's Journey》06.Two Horns
Advertisement
This mysterious race was so primitive in their culture. The language barrier had made the communication much more difficult yet they managed to communicate eventually.
The tribe was being oppressed by the Asuras so they requested the king to build a wall between the two and promise to pay him handsomely.
However, the king refused such payment and only requested the tribe for their manpower in building the barrier.
Together the two groups were able to seal off the Asura from the world, trapping them in an extreme isolated environment.
****
Livius had been following the river down to the south yet he did not find any sort of civilisation or animals.
"Hahahahahahahaha!"
"How long has it been since I walk on this desolated world?"
No matter how many hours had passed, Livius still could not find any sign of any lifeform.
****
Meanwhile, a group of four females were fleeing from an unknown danger. The four of them were probably mercenaries judging from their leftover arsenals. Their clothes were tattered and they were on the brink of collapsing.
They had been chased by some kind of predator. The galloping sound of a herd of beasts were coming after them. Their roar was able to shake the scene.
Fortunately, there was a hidden cave nearby flowing river. The four bodies were full of wounds. One of them had to be lifted by the other two people due to her weak condition.
The last one could be the leader, judging from the way she giving instruction to her comrades. Even though everyone was in distressed, they needed to keep living.
"Girls, stay here. I'll find someone for help."
"But how, Ning? We're all stuck in this unknown world."
"Yeah, sis. How can we find help when we're in a middle of nowhere?"

"You girls rest first. I'll find something to eat."
'I hope those plants out there are harmless.'
*ROAR*
****
The youth was walking along the river when something jumped from behind the green bushes.
*ROAR*
An unknown creature pounced him and as they were rolling on the ground, struggling to break free.
Livius used his arms to par the incoming paws while the beast was trying to end its "prey" immediately.
After a few minutes of the struggle, the beast to gain the upper hand as it managed to scratch the youth's arm, allowing the thick blood to flow out.
However, this also gave Livius a few seconds of advantage since the animal had lowered its guard thinking that it had won. He immediately kicked the beast in a matter of seconds allowing a clear view of his "predator".
"You!"
The beast had four legs with five razor sharp claws on each paws which were sharp enough to slice a rock in half. It had the body of a feline covered in black stripes. Its twin tails were one meters long with a sharp blade at the end of each of them.
*ROAR*
It had a head of a horse but with a twist. Instead of harmless teeth, each teeth resembled that of a carnivorous animal. Saliva was dripping from the two pairs of fangs. The body was covered in crimson fur assuming to be the overlord of the area.
"Agusha?"
The beast or Agusha charged with terrifying speed trying to pin down its "prey" whose arm was covered with the dripping red blood.
****
Ning, was watching the scene between a youth and the beast who had been chasing them.
'A school boy?'
'Why did he's here?'
****
Suddenly, a red human like figure entered the scene. The Agusha who had been glaring at the youth was spoiling itself to the red human.

'Human?'
'Wait! Where have I seen that type before?'
The figure wore quite a primitive clothes which was made out of animal skin. His weapons were made out of stone such as spear which attached on his back and an axe on his right hand.
Dizziness struck like a bolt of lightning on his head. Images charging in as his brain was nearly overload.
'Shit!'
Livius wanted to ran away but his feet tripped causing him to fell into the flowing river.
****
Somewhere in the western region of the Milky Way Galaxy, a spiral shape galaxy existed about 200 light years away.
An advanced civilisation resided in the galaxy. In the largest building, two figures were quarrelling.
"Sir, I request a temperory leave of duty."
"Deny!"
"Why?!"
"Jabbra. Look...I know about your son's death."
"I'm truly sorryut are you trying to get us all destroy?!"
"I'm confident in my ability, sir."
The white man sighed because Jabbra was going to fight against his son's murderer. He geniuely felt sorry for the secretary's loss but going out against "that" superpower was a total suicide.
He did fear of losing this talent yet antoganising the empire was totally a nightmare. He had heard the recent news from the spies in the Drago Constellation.
Not just rebel force but also his funded terrorist had been wiped out from the planet. It was only a matter of time before the enemy finds out and when it did, the federation will be history.
'What should I do?!'
'If they finds out, we're all dead!'
'I shouldn't have listen to those elite bastards so that probably this problem will not happen.'
****
In a distant star, a man holding a book entitle "Chronicles of Zulqarnain" was gazing the stars on the red sky as he smile.
"Zulqarnain, a being surrounded by all sorts of titles."
The mysterious king who sealed the Asuras had a title known as Zulqarnain. Majority races intepretted his title as a being possessing two horns while minority of them intrepretted him as the person who impact on two eras.
"The king had protected our ancestors from those Asuras."
The man swiftly shifted his sight and caught a sight of a girl in her early twenties. Her beauty could steal any men's heart on sight.
"Tsukiyomi."
"Hello, Wiseman."
"Stargazing?"
"Maybe...I wish I could meet him to learn more about the location of the barrier."

The Queen's Guard
Friedrich Schreiner is a proud gefreiter of the Queen's Guard, 2nd Company: the finest fighting infantry on the continent (barring the Temple Guard; but please don't bring that up). Service is honourable but, with the Empire on a peacetime footing, terribly boring. Affairs take a dramatic turn for the worse when a mysterious invader uses a forgotten and taboo magical means to breach the capital, plunging the nation into chaos and endangering the royal family. With events spiraling out of control, Friedrich is entrusted with a critical mission. Will hot lead, cold steel, and his determination be enough to see him through? The Queen's Guard is what I'm calling a black powder fantasy story: it's set in a loose equivalent of the early 18th century (plus or minus a few pieces I decided I wanted or didn't want). Magic exists, but not in a spell-slinging sort of way: it's Earth-shaking undertakings or minor enchantments forged in by master craftsmen, the grand working of a secretive cabal or a slight nudge to the course of a blow. I, the eternal optimist, have a full trilogy in mind. The first book is The Prince's Arquebusier, hence the cover and the title disagreeing! This is my shot at 2021's NaNoWriMo and RR Writathon! I've hitherto been terrible at writing long-form fiction, so this is an effort to break out of that by having some accountability in being supposed to post chapters regularly. Here's hoping it works! I have an outline, but not too much detail. I'll do my best to avoid continuity errors, doing anything glaringly stupid, or otherwise fluffing my lines, but I can't make any promises on that. Please do let me know any feedback! Always happy to improve. [participant in the Nov 2021 Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Oracle by Default
Oracles are known as divine handouts passed down from the Holy Creator. There are times when evil exist and the Holy Creator wishes to intervene, to which the title of the Oracle is bestowed upon an individual to become the Creator's will in physical form. The Oracle's mission is to then gather heroes from different races to purge the evil. “For the reckoning that is to come, all are tested. Thou shall be the shadow of which valiant souls shine and guide thee through harsh trials. Till oblivion comes, do not turn astray but to continue down the path thou chosen to walk. Lastly, thou must not see eye to eye with, but against the world.” A mysterious man engraved a seal onto Kihet before saving him from being consumed by the flames. The seal seems to have a strong connection with the legends of the Oracle and a Tower with no entrance that suddenly sprouted near the village. Throughout years, his efforts to study the strange tower remained fruitless. Then one day, the village decided it was time for his friends and him to become envoys to look for the potential evil the Holy Creator detected. Before Kihet can set off on his journey alongside his friends, he has his own set of problems to overcome against the village. Note: It's slow. There is romance, but it plays a small role that I don’t know if I should add it in the tags. Main story starts at Chapter 12. Chapters before do contain meaningful context for the rest of story.
