《CARNAGE CARNIVORE - A dragon devouring faeries...-》Everlasting ice.
Advertisement
Enka arrived as a human and accompanied by her guard of black dragocarnotaurus-Kobolds and all the humanoids as well as the dragons and dinosaur Kobolds fell to their knees in submission before the Destroyer.
They all knew that an inappropriate smile, a bad posture or anything else could destroy them, or so they thought. Enka was not the devouring brute representing evil, far from it. But this image, she cultivated it to keep a distance between mortals and her divinity. After all, without knowing it, they were all her children from near or far, but that went back to the confines of the beginning of time... The very beginning. From the time of the primary gods or "engineers".
Unfortunately all these humanoid gods were crazy and Enka, very different physically, was in a sense much closer to us than to them. She loved us..! And that made all the difference... For, Enka, the Destroyer had a true sense of right and wrong and also possessed the primordial love.
She picked up Hans in her hands and carried him like a bundle of straw.
The dragons followed her, followed by the Vespalians, humans and various Kobolds.
After a long walk, the procession stopped in front of a crystal palace made of hemispherical domes that touched like soap bubbles.
Gothic arches served as openings and inside, the crystals reflected like millions of television sets, the present, the future and the past where furtive images, shadows and various scenes in different places occurred.
Everyone was fascinated by so many wonders.
Without knowing it, when they entered the first dome, they were in the primordial dimension, on a primary planet.
But no one had noticed.
Then Enka clapped her hands and a wall opened, revealing countless dragons and Tiamats in various states, most of them in pieces...frozen in eternal ice.
She placed my sleeping body on a kind of altar. Then the floor was filled with gold nuggets and coins. A mountain of gold from who knows where.
Then, spread out, my body was transformed into a huge hydra with 5 heads, like Tiamat.
The dome was to my measure. 500 meters in diameter and my body of more than 100 meters, curled up.
I breathed weakly, then, Tiamat, came to kiss me on my forehead, on my foreheads, Kate did the same, followed by Darkia, Arnold and Vermithrax.
Vermithrax: "Will daddy ever wake up???"
Enka: "Yes, I promise you! He is sleeping but not sick. He is just exhausted and this body has taken all his energy..."
Arnold: "And we can't go back?"
Enka: "Your daddy is still the same, but he has access to rare and noble immortal blood. He becomes an immortal "baby"...
But Tiamat knew Enka well. Despite the fact that she loves humans, she ensures stability and protects her own, she is a hydra and a primary god... And... she also has fetishes... The mania of the collection..

Tiamat clenched her teeth but did not dare to move, not to say a word and she feared above all the Destroyer. Although weakened and diminished, all the dragons gathered here were only a fly in front of the goddess. The forces and powers she mastered were beyond comprehension.
She hissed through her teeth. Well, the ice... but yes..as always...
And Enka blew on my comatose carcass and gold and I became one with a block of eternal ice.
It wasn't necessary... just let me sleep but not for eternity... I wasn't dead!! what!!!
Kate and Darkia didn't react. But they saw that Tiamat was making a bad face.
My children were crying their eyes out.
"Grandma, why the ice cream?"
"Because of Granpère...he won't feel his growing power and won't be tempted to devour him.."
Tiamat between her teeth "the beautiful excuse.."
But she looked down the aisle and took the liberty of looking a little further into the "collection".
She saw other Tiamats that she undid, then with horror, the Obsidian Tiamat... and another dragoness as well as a black dragon with 3 pairs of feathered wings. The famous Cruel, the archangel Dragon... His anti-ice weapon, placed on a pedestal, as if to highlight the collection... then. A huge Dragon snake and a red dragon, a red commando beret resting on a blue cushion in an ice display case... "SARGE."
And after seeing empty pedestals with names she knew well...her son Ivan and another also frozen in time :
her son Ivan and another also frozen in time:
The Aegis III!!! an interdimensional ship.
"AHEM!"
Enka said, to remind Tiamat that his place was not here but with the others.
"Are you looking for your base? Do you want to go through time with me?"
Tiamat whined like a dog and ran to join the crowd. But she stopped and screamed..
"TANIAAAA!!!! nooo!!!! Why????"
A 9-tailed demon fox, the former Hakumen no moto.. was in the eternal ice..
"She is my daughter... why???"
Enka: "She has served her time... her soul is tired and she is entitled to rest. She is eternal but she has kept her human soul and she must rest for a new cycle to adapt to her divinity. She risks becoming a real demon.
Tiamat: "Take me instead. I made her suffer so much and... I was a bad mother... I would like to do something for her... please.."
Enka couldn't believe it...
"Tiamat?? is that you?? I don't recognize you anymore... "
"I'm not a demon anymore!!!"
Enka and thanks to whom?
Tiamat: "You are the destroyer... you are not a doctor!!!"
Tiamat immediately felt the anger invade the dome "Please, Enka...I didn't mean...please..IIIII IIII"
Enka blew eternal ice but missed Tiamat on purpose and she ran into the corridors to save herself.

Then Enka rubbed her head against the ice block... "TANIA... you are the highlight of my collection!!! but your time will come and you will find your daughter" And she kissed the block.
And she went out of the hall on which was written: "Hall of the legendary heroes".
When she came back to the crowd, Arnold was like a Tyrant: "Grandma... I know about your collection! I don't understand!!! You are hiding things from us.
Enka wanted to tell him off, but she thought for a moment.
"They had to die! and I saved them but they belong to different worlds and you can't put them all together! it would destroy their world! They have violated the space time many times! and I should have punished them and destroyed them. But this is not the time. Many of these heroes have been drained of their life, of their strength, devoured or half devoured by the Devourer. Worse, he made them kill each other... the war of the Tiamats. He orchestrated it all!"
Arnold: "I'll be grown up when I can see my father again?
Enka: "I'm afraid so..."
Arnold: "I don't want to live without Daddy!"
Enka clutched young Arnold to her chest and stared into the eyes of the crying dragons.
Darkia dared: "Mother, I know it's to protect them, but if you are destroyed or trapped? How will they get out of this?"
Enka: "There is the Obsidian gun, an anti eternal ice weapon... it is on the base in real ice..
Darkia: "And how do we get here? And without you?"
"Honey...a magician doesn't reveal his secrets but for you, I'll make an exception: How about asking the Sphinxes? They are so scary that you don't notice the door between the legs of one."
Darkia was reassured that she feared this place like death when it was a sanctuary..
A few moments later, everyone was back at the northern base, with the return trip to be made in the opposite direction.
Enka remained on his throne, waiting for the respect and courtesies due to him, and everything disappeared as if it had never happened.
Meanwhile, on a moon in the Proxima system, Emperor Volkor was looking at the latest military findings.
He was accompanied by new generals, ambitious young wolves and went to a hall of wisdom where the Idol was also installed.
He knelt before the Idol
"Great Sage..the oracles and our calculators tell us that a hostile fleet is on its way. It is the Electrons!"
Idol: "Turn around, Volkor!"
and the wall rotated, revealing a huge room full of machines and articulated arms and he noticed. a huge robot! It was half the size of the Eiffel Tower, wearing a horned helmet like Volkor and Tyrant wore, and its appearance was frightening
Idol: "This is a new technology that comes to burn for point! The fleet is in for a big surprise! Its armor resists all kinds of lasers, spells, psy waves and its capacities are infinite.
Able to cross rock and earth like water, he can move at short distance in space but with his support saucer, he can cross huge distances.
And behind an assembly line.
Like an inverted tree, in clusters the saucers made round trips to load and equip the Ummite empire.
The soldiers numbered in the millions and had a sinister uniform: curved shoes like Saladin, but in boots, a laser rifle and the horrible green mask with dots that represented 2 4 or 6 eyes, the most obvious way to recognize them.
Their mask hood ended in a point like a goblin or not, they looked like members of the Ku klux clan but in light green. The officers were in red and the technicians in orange.
Valcor began to inspect the new weapons that would make up his armada. He turned to one of his seconds, Admiral Archeron, who was responsible for the Monstrogoths. Archeron, a talented military man and renowned scientist, succeeded in transforming animals into war machines: these are the Monstrogoths. These machines of death combine, according to their creator, "the ancestral instinct of war with the sophistication of robots". These new adversaries will prove to be much more formidable.
Archéron : "Your eminence, see for yourself their destructive power".
Valcor: "And against raging dragon dinos???"
Archeron: "They will be torn to pieces!"
The machines sent to fight the earth are very different from each other but often have two different forms: the first, usually that of a saucer, allows the Golgoth to fly, and the second, after transformation, is its fighting form, most often humanoid or robotic-animal. Some have several heads or are able to disassemble and reassemble into several modules.
Valcor: "How far along is the production? We are running out of time.
Admiral Horos : "80 units have been built!" but only one would be enough to destroy the enemy fleet.
Valcor : "And if I bring back Tyran...?
Horos, a scientist, but not a warrior hesitated to answer. He was in constant conflict with his rival, the Archon general. His division was well named: the Ruin Division.
Archeron: "You would be invincible and could even defeat the 'Great Evil' if the Sacred Beast could return.."
Valcor thought to himself, "Yes... the key is the sacred beast, the scourge of dragons... the Golden Lion! the animal God of light...!
Horos: "And the hydra in all this... the guardian?"
Valcor started to smile.... Let's go!!

Midara: Requiem
"When the alternative is extinction, all acts, no matter how heinous, are permitted." The story of a little necromancer who only wants to play with abominations against all that is holy dollies and her horsey, Mister Clackybones. Welcome to the novelization of one script I designed for a video game setting I call Midara (I selected the name of a genus of moths for symbolism purposes, not to be confused with anything else). Once upon a time, I dreamed of the setting being the next Final Fantasy. Long story short: Nope. Requiem itself is meant to be an Open-World RPG which adapts to the choices of the player. This is just one of many, many paths that one might follow in Requiem's gameplay, if it ever becomes a game.

Unending War
In a secluded forest, Avalel, twelve years of age, was completely oblivious to the torment of the war. His backward village was a hidden safe haven, self sufficient on its own limited resources. Although there were occasionally contact from the "Outside", as they called it, the village remained its own world, isolated and in peace. Until he stumbled upon a girl, broken by the war, hardened by its cruelty. Four years later, the Outside comes to him. Witnessing the horrors around him, his fantasies shattered by the abhorrent ruthlessness of this orderless world, he only has a single goal: to protect the ones he considers his closest in the war. A mysterious sword accompanies him, a relic of the past strangely interested in his development. A kind friend supports him, looking out for each other. A leader pursues him, obsessed with his identity. A journey of life, of death; of friendship, of enmity; of courage, of cowardice; of loyalty, of betrayal; of power, of corruption in this eternal, unending war.

Law of Divine Gates
What is transcendence? There are those on countless planets who believe creation ended with them. The notion that they are God's chosen people, and nothing else existed beyond them became a firmly rooted ideal. An arrogant assertion you say? Well there you have it, ignorance is something mortals never have a lack of. This is not transcendence, to transcend is to explore the limits of existence, to constantly grow, and lay claim to all the universe has to offer. Transcendence is to not be constrained by ideals, or the planet of your birth, to transcend is to leave behind your Mortal shell, to challenge heaven's law, and formulate your own. Heaven would see mortals bowed in servitude until the end of their days, to reincarnate, and begin another lifetime of worship, giving praise to the gods. A young demon accidentally stepped through the gateway of endless possibilities, will he succumb to heaven's authority?
