《Emperor's Journey》09.Prey or Predator
Advertisement
Julies was lying and rolling out of boredom within the void when the roar shook the space. The shockwave nearly cracked the prison yet the void still stand strong.
"Huh?!"
*SHAKING*
"This power…could it be?!"
*BOOM*
"Aaa…Ashu…ra…Ashura!"
"I thought he sealed them centuries ago."
The roar signified a high tier Asura had been awakened. Asura had been categorised into three tiers; low, middle and high.
Each tier had their own traits. These creatures maybe primitive yet their brutalness could send a whole nation into total chaos.
Low tiers usually referred as Astuga. They has the least intelligent among the Asuras and usually being treated as slaves or cannon fodders by the higher Asura. They were the main foot soldiers in the Asura hierarchy.
Asvan is the middle Asura with higher intelligence due to their human like behaviour. A few of them knows a tiny portion of magic allowing them to shift some situation to their advantage. They usually served as the chief of the tribe. The Asvan usually govern the village with arrogant.
Finally, "True Asura" or Ashura is a god like figure to the Asura race. They are known as the master of magic in their society due to their deep understanding regarding magic and arcane. Their ability to bend the supernatural order had been regarded as divinity by the lesser kins.

Agusha was sniffing around for prey when a shadow streched its black hands before grabbed the beast into the shadow. The swiftness of the strike did not alert any Asura nearby.
Two pairs of blood eyes were eyeing its prey from the shadow. The nearby Asuras was ignorant about the fact that someone or something was watching them from the shadow. The sharp white teeth began revealing its when the shadow grinned.
The Asuras usually went out hunting half a dozen people per group yet the fact that their Agusha did not return, signalling that something was wrong. Although the Asuras were primitive race, their natural instinct could be considered their greatest advantage against their enemies.

"Both of you, go scout for any potential threat."
The leader of the group speaking in their native language, ordered two of his underlings to scout for any potential threat.
As soon as the two left temperorily, the rest set up a bonfire using a minor art of magic or many "civilised" person would called witchcraft.
Although the harvest could be considered sufficient for the group but comparing to the total tribe, it was like an average size fish being share among half a dozen of human.
Suddenly, one of them ran toward them after a few minutes with fear written on his face. Sweats and his red skin was producing sweat at a rapid speed.
"Lord Zaga! Amun…Amun…"
"Amun what?!"
"Amun's dead!"
Out of blue, a black tentacles came out and grabbed the nearby Asvan before dragging him in the darkness. The scream for help had allow fear to take root in the heart of these Asuras.
"AAARRRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!"
The dark entity stepped out from the shadow as the darkness obeyed his will. Countless of shadow tentacles were dancing behind the figure as Zaga and his group were being suffocated by the force of the grip.
Eventually, one by one of them were being drained till their bodies became mummies due to lack of blood. The mummies were tossed to the sides after the sinister being had drain the blood.
If any intergalactic government found that the Asura was barbaric and ruthless race, this figure was more than that. Their differences were like comparing heaven and earth.

A very luxurious and futuristic room with a very delicate artistic design could caused anyone to have their mouth touching with saliva drooling from it.
The room seems to be decorated with a mixture of every extra terrestial culture existed in that world. The images of seven figures forming a circle in on the dome created a magnificient aura.

"I see."
"The Ashura bloodline has awaken."
Ryuma was sitting on his throne in the room holding card with the image of a figure with two pair of wings. His first two wings were white while their counterparts were black in color.
The figure had a moderate size halo behind his head. The man possessed a white hair with a pair of crimson eyes.
"The being who betray God for his fallen brother."
"The former inhabitant of hell itself."
"The being appointed by Him as the Emperor."
The arch in front of him split in half, presenting an elegant woman who appeared like she is in her twenties. There is a different between this female and the human version. She looked like a human but was not one of them due to her pointy ears.
Her flawlessly skin could invite the jealousy of other maiden which could mesmerise any opposite sex at a first sight and even the other females regardless of species would feel some sort of attraction toward her.
"Aniue, the rebels has been eliminated."
The draconian shifted his sight toward her while the card on his hand attracted her attention. The card seems very familiar due to its material which is made of platinum.
"Is that…the Joker?"
"Yes, my dear."
"The Joker is glowing?"
"Could it be?!"
"Joker is returning, Susan."
"Hahahahahahaha."
Ryuma laughed as he put the card down besides the other four cards. He raised the card with a picture of medieval knight on it which was resting on the table using his index and middle fingers.
"Joker, who will bring destruction."
"Spade, who will govern others."
"Heart, who will gain knowledge."
"Diamond, who will guards the treasury."
"Club, who will lead the army."
Ryuma and Susan recited a strange riddle in the room. Others may finds them weird but they knew the true content of the riddle.
"Joker, shall bring forth the New Age."
"From destruction, a new creation can be born."
"The question is, will he be a prey or the predator?"

The most devastating thing to an eternal being must be boredom. If nothing can change you, how can you yourself change? Sometimes you have to learn that the hard way. I should point out that there are multiple lead characters and they will all have their own personalities and motivations. While the story will focus more on our MC Trey, you can expect multiple POV switches. If you do not like POV switches, this might not be for you. My first book. If anyone will ever read this, be so kind as to leave a comment. Even, if all you say is an insult. As long as I can improve this work by your comment, it's all fine. One thing’s for sure. I will keep writing as if my reader can handle curse words without curling into a little ball and repeatedly saying: "Leave my safe-space alone, you monster". Therefore, you can expect some profanity.
