《Without horizon》Chapter Fourteen - Demon island
Advertisement
With scorched earth and fire swirling around the gate at Demon Island, a large group began to inspect the area, while with it the residents began to protest the construction of what appeared to be a large door. A group of Fossilswalker began dragging large pieces of metal engraved in yellow stripes, while some of the Mantis continued to work on construction delicately. Another group of armed Caeca tried to fend off the locals. They made a noise in an unfamiliar language, which sounded like fire burning a tree, but in one moment a shadow looked over the protesters as they trembled in terror at the huge dragon flying over them, and fled the scene. The flying dragon landed near a huge tent set up in a cool area compared to the outside. And inside, all the representatives of the federation started touring the place: "The plans seem to be progressing at an excellent pace" the Titan Lavawalker replied as he held a telescope in one hand, watching what was happening.
"I'm not sure they are happy with the situation" Out of the tent the king of Regalis also came out to watch what was happening.
"I know that in the past we started with the left step, but we started with settling agreements. Those who are happy are only those who still oppose the steps we take."
"But gentle, we do this for their good, for the good of all" The king spread his big wings before he jumped and flew towards a collection of tents where a wide group of Feline beastmen was gathered, who looked foreign to him before returning to the Titan: "Our refugees seem to be recovering very well there. I just want to understand that they only 'now' came to us."
"Yes, a few hours ago a large group of airships sailed in his direction. These ships were broken and uneven. It seemed the winds could break them or a collision with one of the four forces would destroy them" The Titan took a deep breath before continuing, as he placed the telescope Aside, and began to forge his whip sword: "Thanks to our translator, they came from an unfamiliar May to the Federation"
"There are delicate edges that we have not explored" the king joked "It's just a shame it would all go away. If they hadn't come to us, I would have been afraid they would have been destroyed. It seems the impact is starting to move faster than we expected." "Indeed it is a bad situation. We tried to do everything to prevent it, but we could not understand why the currents crashed. We knew this long before, but everything we investigated led to the same reason: why are they there from the beginning? The islands do not float on the currents as we thought before, but "The islands are still crumbling and falling into the abyss. Something is missing here." The titan sat down after he picked up the sword in his hands, realizing what he was saying: "Even before the federation was formed, we already found out that the end was coming, and we also knew how it would happen. But the gift of the gods gave us ways to deal with it."

"I would not say a gift of gods, like more those who have experienced this" Out of the tent came Mantodea's chief scientist, covered in a robe and accompanied by a small group of small creatures made of metal and a strange green matter glowing inside them, dragging laboratory tools towards the workplace. Their movement surprised the king who had cleared their way before advancing towards the tent. "These carobs, the same things they left behind, are the ones that fed our civilizations, and I'm sure others like us in a world without floor and ceiling, have at some point already discovered something we missed, like the refugees who are now here."
"I already knew this" the Titan replied "I know you know, it was your dream to find the unity of all 13 races that have disappeared, and now only 4 of you are left, one of whom was revived by our technology." "It's in our blood, to explore and find others like us ..." The Titan sat down on the black earth, pondering what was being said. "There are still those who are trying to find a solution to this, and I happened to talk to one of them. He believes there is a solution and should not run away from it. He asked me to help him with it, but I did not want to shatter the hope that there is no such thing" said the scientist. From his back, move more things from the tent. "Are you sure there is no way to solve this? You are the ones who proposed to implement this project." "No, if we have to survive, we have to do everything, even if it means abandoning everything and leaving things behind."
"Are you talking about the rumors that the goblins are still alive?"
"Yes, I'm not going to take a risk. This world is unsolvable from all attempts to stop them, mine and those of those before me. And my vision is to leave the problems of this world behind and if they chase us into the new place, I would rather die together with the islands." "It's very extreme, you can not escape all the problems" "Our world is dying and we are seeing it! It has already passed the point of no return" The scientist raised his voice for a moment, realizing that they do not understand the big picture: "I have already explained to him and I will explain to you again: they tried, failed, and now we too have tried and failed. They left a plan that allows us to escape to a new place, a new hope for the whole federation."

"And you know what awaits us on the other side?" The titan got up and began to move into the tent, carrying with him a crate full of food while with one hand was busy placing the whip sword on its sides. "I do not know, we do not have the knowledge and technology to test it, but I know that something better awaits us there from now on" And notice the titan who began to advance towards the structure: "Wait a minute, no representative from Mirtal has yet arrived and no information about his arrival has been notified to us," the leader asked: "I think he's starting to get ready for the final stage," the king said: "I think so too. While the Astra is supposed to arrive with the latest materials needed. Before the information I received, they were supposed to arrive on the island within a few hours."
"I do not think it will take more than a few extra hours. Especially with the help of the thaumaturgists who responded to our call, we will be able to expedite matters."
"So I think it's the best time to start as soon as the Astra reaches the island's cliffs, to begin the evacuation" the Titan noted, but then an automaton walked on all fours swiftly in front of them, dragging on it and a bit on the ground a large metal oval clocked, advancing towards the nearest mountain. Behind him, the scientist follows him and notices the representatives, who do not understand what it is.
"Before you ask, it's a small gift if by chance and some nuisance comes here" he replied
"And by a nuisance, do you mean goblins? What is it anyway?"
"One of the latest inventions collected from the ruins and the metallic creatures of the ruins. We call it a 'quasar bomb'"
"Bomb? When you talked about not moving the world's problems to the next place, did you mean you wanted to destroy the place right after we moved?"
"Exactly! That's the only way we can make sure nothing is left after we've vacated."
Everyone else was stunned, but the Titan began to understand what he was talking about: to survive, one has to sacrifice everything, even if one has to sacrifice life, and in life, he talks about leaving the problems behind.
"You're crazy!" The Titan responded: "This is a bomb you've never tried before!"
"It's too late to change my mind, the automaton is already programmed to destroy itself, and together with it, the door to another world. Even I can not stop it now and without detonating the bomb" The scientist laughed a crazy laugh, and all this was just for his vision. Right after that, he continued to follow him while the rest of the federation representatives did not understand what had happened now:
"No one will stop him?" The king said
"It's better to leave it, we have a lot more to do now before zero time" The leader continued to move forward and carry things, and together the rest joined. The titan has only just begun to realize that there is no going back. But right now one thing is stuck for him: one person is trying to find another way.
"I hope he gets to the root of the matter," he thought to himself before dismantling the equipment and advancing to the refugee camp, which was also joined by large ants resembling the fallen island, preparing for the fateful day.

Bear trap (statehumans CalTex)
(This book has nothing to do with furries, otherkins, or irl therianthropes. Both by their own definitions and my own, we have nothing to do with each other. Keep being your weird selves just don't pretend I'm a part of those groups because I wrote this book with animal/human hybrids in it. Any comments trying to talk about furries or otherkins will be deleted because it makes me physically uncomfortable. Therians are ok tho because it's basically the fancy way to say people who have spirit animals)There are two races in this world, humans and therianthropes, which are humans with animal qualities, that can shapeshift into their animal counterpart. The therianthropes, once divided by predator and prey, joined together in hiding after the humans began to hunt therianthropes for sport. California, a young grizzly bear therianthrope, was always curious to see the world beyond the forest he and his people lived within. Texas, a young farmhand, always wanted to catch a therianthrope, believing it would make him the hero of his village after violent massacres and thefts had been performed on it, supposedly by therianthropes.But when these two young men's paths collide, secrets, strange new feelings, and a magical adventure turns everything they thought they knew about the others race upside down.Warnings:- statehumans- countryhumans - the country and statehumans are all kinda just mixed together. There is no obvious separation between state and country, they're all just people - guns- and ships- hunting - idk, vegans?- gay stuff- not super gory, but people do get hurt - maybe death
