Zor Empire, Ascesion Age As/A: 3084

In the year 3084, Earth is not as typical as what Sci-fis had designed it to be. There were no computers, no flying saucers, no alien invasion, no brain chip, no cyborgs, no time traveling machine, only slaughters, bloodshed, famine and tyranny.

Magic and dark sorcery, monsters and creatures were far from being a myth, they were as real as the fluff of a cat's fur: Dangerous, mysterious, and strictly outlawed. The emperors were careful for any opposition.

The leadership was as it has always been in a typical dilapidated era, ruled by power hungry lords: The Ekryons, emperors and rulers of the four empires in the only surviving continent.

"Doom" was what those tugging within the confines of the lower echleons of Zor, called their emperor. Who could blame them; scraping crumbs and threshing their nails just to survive... Well that's not a life worth living, but yet a few survived the hardship, and dared venture the wilderness. They had no choice, they couldn't cross over to the kingdoms in the upper echleon, so bliss was as thin as a stretched massless string.

A hero? A super hero? Not even superman could stand the heat, kryptonite won't be his only bane, starvation will. But if there were, then he'd be ploughing the harsh soil, or robbing off a rich merchant.

By kicking through the stabbing blizzard, those in the kingdoms of the lower echleons accepted their fates, hoping not to die in their sleeps, or by the silver fangs of the guillotine.

Yet, sarvation and poverty and death, became the least of their worries this very night, as it all grew darker with despair, the clouds hid the moon and shielded off her lights; preventing them from reaching the earth. The sky roared thunderously, and unsettled lightening pierced with joy between the clouds.

A ritual began with the banging of drums, the swirl dance of maidens, a slaughter, and the Sorcerer's chants. 

Three stood upon the altar; naked and ready to receive of the Emperor's blessing. A curse they were prepared to bear for the purpose of the Empire. The Mountains of Eleàd at its very peak, gathered five men and no more; The Emperor, his sorcerer and those chosen to be blessed. 

Each man perfectly trained in the arts compatible with the blessing he will receive, a blessing to offer chaos, and wroth destruction. 

As these men ingest the Emperor's blood, the sorcerer chants out a unique spell which causes them to writ in an unsurmountable form of agony; a price for power which were mere scraps of the Emperor's darkness.

His powers surges through them, bulging through their vein, cracking their bones, and exploding in its fullness, until they fully became one with it.

"You know your mission -" The Emperor's elegant yet commanding voice, pierced fear into the hearts of the three. "Do not fail me. Find them and offer me their heads, or I will have your head and the head of those you find dear."

"Yes my Lord!"

They chorused and dispersed in all three different direction.

Sealed In Darkness   The Castle Of Grèaboa

Greàboa, Zcwrith Empire. As/A: 3088.The Castle of Graèboa holds on to a lot of memories. The stoned walls and its marble floor, had led in conquest through generations, many coups and battles; bloodshed and slaughters, leaders, kings and tyrants alike. These memories could be seen by each passing shadow, the tiniest prick of light, and the slightest of echo. To some, it was their place of birth: either born of life, or born to life.And upon this very grounds, was another yet again to be branded by life. ¶The warm afternoon breeze forces its way through the drapes of the room, ushering summer's warmth, and an uneven Visitor. A man approaches from the south of the

"Next, Ale avenue" she said, and pressed firmly against the accelerator of the scooter she rode, and off it went. She struggled to look at the tag on the delivery box fitted tightly behind her, that had the residence's number of which she is to make her final delivery. The wind blowing hard against her face as she sped off forcefully drew tears from her eye. She slowed down, and turned backward, gently rubbing the box in search of the tag; she got it, brought it forward to have a better look. "Thirty -" She barely had a better look, when the wind drew the piece of paper out of her hand "Its Thirty...uh...Thirty Eight, I'm certain of it" she nodded and rode off. She came to a stop in front of a building, it was barely lighted inside -most of the lights were turned off.

"What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger." Well that is bullshit, not in this world. Run the next time you see it, or you might not be so lucky again. Traè, Thames Empire. As/A: 3088."Where is this place?" Akillim had been running through the woods. More accurately, he has been limping and hopping while making his way through the forest. He avoidably trips from a tree root, twists his ankle again and fell; rolling down the hilly grounds, and then dropping into a shallow slowly running stream. He struggles up, and reaches out for the box floating on the water's surface, he grabs it and swims out to the other side of the bank, soaked and dripping of water. "Shi

Lonely... Insecure... Special. "Morning Mom!" He rushed out into the meal room, holding unto a bag pack and a few textbooks. "Breakfast?" Mrs Kaitlin Orshwood, his mother asked, while dropping the suckling she carried. "A quick one. I'm late for the academy." He walked over to the table, took hold of the half filled cup, and sent it contents into his mouth. He spat it out upon the first sip. "That's a newly imported beverage. They call it caffeine. It is one of the old age's products. Heard of it?" His mother walked closer to him with a towel, which she wiped his mouth of the remaining liquid. "Yes! We learnt about it in one of our classes."He took second look at the cup's content, staring in disgust. H

Sweat dripped and rolled down his bulging muscles, using the spaces between his abs as a pathway down, as they dropped. His flaccid testicles glued firmly to the side of his left leg as he jumped out of bed, they began to dangle after he scratched it while making his way to his camper's only door, staggering and swaying from side to side as he m
