《Multiverse of Marvel》714. Cosmic Raptor
Advertisement
Cosmic couldn't be identified as a Raptor actually. At most it could be called a huge black and shiny falcon. The size would be equivalent to that of a Giant. And its main function was to look over Perpetua to make sure that she never escapes.
But here it was, dead and couldn't die any more. John was surprised that the Raptor could actually bleed from its cosmic type body. He had already accepted their death the moment Thanos came back saying that perpetua had escaped. What he didn't expect was the death of multiple Raptors.
That was where his confusion was. There should be only one Cosmic raptor. Why were there multiple and that too dead.
"Barry, you are a crime scene investigator. Find what you can. Our omnipotence doesn't work on minute levels." John said. He needed to know what happened. Each and every body of the raptors looked different now because the cuts and damages on their body was different.
Some raptors were burned to death. Some had their eyes and their skull blown. Some had been killed by what looked like three blades just like the claws of Wolverine. It was all a mess. Barry was checking each and everyone of the raptors and it was taking time. Since they had been travelling for quite a long time, they decided to rest a bit further from the crime while Barry checked on the bodies.
John felt sad looking at the Raptors. They have been stuck here since the first rebellion of Perpetua. Though it seemed like there were multiple Raptors there were still slaughtered so brutally.
"Who are these and why are you interested?" Jean couldn't help but ask. John proceeded to speak about their origins. They were surprised by the story of John and understood why John was so interested. After 3 hours of examination, Barry came back with a gloomy look.

"Lay it on me, Barry."
"The bodies are weird. Some of them are killed by cosmic powers. That is normal since it is apparent that some of them are killed by her. But some of them are killed by magic. Magic elements that are similar to you and Strange. I have been in the SHIELD crime scene division all this time so I have been researching on identifying and separating elements from the magic of two kinds. But some of the bodies have two elements together. Some of the bodies are definitely killed by adamantium claws like Logan. Some are using lasers and I can bet that a Kryptonian has done it. There are other bodies which show signs that they were killed by people of both the multiverse."
John and other's faces got dignified when he said that. If the killing was done just by the people from the DC multiverse, he would attribute the death to the people from the Dark Multiverse. But what the hell is up with powers that came from their multiverse. And that too fighting together.
"Thanos did you meet any weird thing or people that might have come from our multiverse when you came the first time."
Thanos shook his head in denial. He was on a search mission. A mission to acquire more information though it derailed to something else in the end, he was here for quite a long time and he didn't meet any one of such power.
"What the hell is going on?" John now was really confused and for the first time in this lifetime he felt like his knowledge had no use here.
How could people from his own multiverse could cross and make friendships with the other multiverse and that too kill the raptors. They killed thoroughly, meaning it was their intention from the start and they came to slaughter.

"I don't know but I double checked everything and I am pretty sure of my investigation."
"Do you want to take the bodies away?" Owen suggested as he too felt that it was very weird. Over the past few months he had come to know of many secrets and stories so he was up to date. As a former police officer he suggested that they should take away the bodies for further inspection.
"Good." Lucifer too accepted. He had always known of the raptors but seeing their death he too felt a chill up his spine. Killing so many raptors who were sent by the Hand and still failing to do their job meant the enemy was super powerful.
"We need to get out of here. We are not strong or powerful enough to stop Perpetua and her weird army here. If they come back, it will be very problematic to run away." Jean said.
"Yes. Take the bodies and leave. Barry..."
"On it..." Barry said as he ran around while gathering the dead bodies. John took out his amulet and stored the bodies inside.

The Abyssal Dungeon
The world of Vol, a huge, bountiful plane where the only constant is life, in its many, many forms. One such form is a dungeon core, a peculiar little gemstone, and the focus of our attention. Watch as this otherwise unremarkable gem awakens in one of the most resplendant places in Vol, an aptly named Mana Reef, and how it turns its simple hole in the ocean floor into something truly unique, all while the rest of the world is forced to deal with its growth. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is my first venture into writing for fun, and I'm hoping to keep this running until I run out of juice. With that said, I very much enjoy dungeon core novels, and wanted to do one a bit outside the norm. Hope you enjoy! If you want to come stop by the discord, I know we'd all be more than happy to welcome you! https://discord.gg/pcR5g5XX8h

NOVA INTERIT.US
It's 2063, and the town along with much of the nation are in disarray. The decay started years before the Great Event. Our town still had hope thanks to the five families, who'd created a blockchain based water distribution system for the locals, a valuable secret hidden from the Global Water Commission and their network of mercenaries. Earlier in the mid-2040's, right after the state secessions of Idaho, Montana, and Texas, the Global Council of Water Commissioners made their deals and moved into towns throughout the country. They called it "the integration." The Commission and their contractors integrated with municipal water departments, using their organized network to invade like parasites on local services. It all coincided with the 29th Amendment to the United States Constitution, later referred to as the Regional Trident Plan. Nova is a story about survival, power structures, the turning of relationships, and the networking between people and the systems to which they belong. It’s about A.I. blockchain possibility, and its potential for human betterment versus our detriment. It’s about the question of whether or not we need to be saved from ourselves, and by who or what? The Great Event at the end of the first chapter might just be what actually saves us. The epilogue will take place in 2517. This scene is fully sketched and the full arc of the novel is set. I expect to finish Nova Interitus by summer of 2023. This is realist hard-sci-fi dystopian fiction. I hope you find Nova to be a challenging and consuming story. This is not something I planned to write. It all came to me in a dream and I haven't been able to stop writing it. This Royal Road posting is basically a beta test with chapters and drafts to get some feedback and see if there's any readership for this narrative. For the full experience read Nova on Substack. I will be narrating a podcast version later this year there. https://novainteritus.substack.com/

Other Tales of En
Welcome to The Other Tales of En, a place where I put short stories that didn't get to be told in the main series. These are scenes and tales of characters I just had to have more of, moments I needed to see, and self-indulgent interactions. I hope you love them as much as I do! Chapters are labelled with initials of the Tale first and have notes for their beginning and end. Any chance of spoilers are listed for each tale below as well as their initials. TABLE OF CONTENTS Tale 1: Taff and Adon (T&A) The tale of when Taff and Adon first met. Slight spoilers for Starchild but not really, let's just say Adon's version of the story in Stormspeaker wasn't *quite* accurate ;) Tale 2: Vai and Echa (V&E) The tale of the meeting everyone tried to prevent. It was bound to happen and this is how it went. Spoilers for Children of the Bear, particularly Fiona's Tale, I recommend reading when you are finished with that series. Tale 3 [IN PROGRESS]: Echa and Tryst (E&T) The tale of how the cowardly pirate and the bitter slave fell in love.
