                     Ewar winced in pain as one of the medics wrapped a band around two of his toes. “They won’t leave me alone, not that I mind.” He joked as I noted his attitude; he had dropped the professional tone and was joking with me as if we had always been friends. “We’re almost ready to land; you did well in the battle.” The medic commented. “Better than that, he led us to victory.” I said, not wanting to see his achievements diminished. “Not without you, Angel of Darkness, You cut the head of the serpent, and that gave us a huge advantage, not to mention counter-charging the

Chapter 24: Paradise, The Dreams Beyond Voices: The supposed utterance of a guiding spirit, typically giving instructions or advice.      My clothes were soaked, I was soaked. The rain had severely affected the Eagles in this fight. Surprisingly, I learned it gave them an advantage, as it left the Dark World forces without reinforcements or Dragon support, giving the Eagles in advantage in both the air and ground. “And we’re getting another one.” I muttered, watching as a pair of lights came on, cutting through the rain and dark. “Um, Angel?” A vice behind me asked. “Yes?” I asked, turning towards

Chapter 23: Paradise Lost Ichor: The fluid that flows like blood in the viens of Gods.                 Dark had fallen over Paradise by the time I made it to the western side, and that was perfect as my tentacles extinguished themselves and I took to the shadows. Darkfire still emitted light somehow, but that wasn’t a concern for me as I slipped through the darkened streets, evading Blood Creatures and Shadow Wolves, sometime by milliseconds of timing. The talkativeness that I had displayed earlier was gone entirely, every being in my body was focused on finding the leader, and only part of me seemed to know what we were looking for. T

Chapter 22: BAttle for Paradise Bloodlust: An uncontrollable desire to kill or maim others. (Authors note: Later portions of this chapter might be a bit graphic, you have been warned.)             An hour later, I was waiting behind a barricade with Ewar and a squad of Eagles, most had rifles, the rest carried axes. The only exception was Ewar, who was carrying a turret like a shoulder fired rifle. After a rough minute, Ewar strode over to me and handed me a glowing blue orb. “What is this?” I asked, accepting it wearily. “Chi, it’s a mixture of a power boost that happens to enhance your reflexes and an energy boost

Chapter 21: Paradise Paradise: An ideal or idyllic place or state        The reaction was somewhere between disgust and shock, I didn’t blame them, I would have gawked too. After a minute of intense staring, Ewald spoke up. “So you have, tell me, are you ready to participate in this war?” He asked, watching me carefully. While I remained frozen outside, inside, I thought it over before something overcame me. “Yes, I am.” I said, my own voice sounding odd for a brief second. “Very good, then you will be leading roughly four-hundred Eagles and” He began, my mind losing track as I pondered why I had

Luck: A success or failure brought by chance rather than through one's own actions.        It had been a good day when Savannah came to Chima. Her twin sister had just gotten a boyfriend, judging by the image, a cute one, while Savannah herself had gotten herself a new backpack for her upcoming college classes, she had been so excited. And then it happened. She tripped while walking up stairs, possibly from an outside force, and fell through them in a blue flash. In roughly three seconds, she heard a statement in a melodic voice, saying: "This is your time Wanderer, you are chosen." Then Savannah was on her back, the sun shining through the

Chapter 20: The Dark World Crisis Delegation: A Group or body of delegates or leaders.               “What?” It was a combined reaction, Lani, Levi, and I said it at the same time, while Osmond remained silent. “It’s a full-on war, come on; we need to take the Interceptors back to the spire. Ewald will explain more when we get there.” Ewar said, turning as a crash to our right sounded. “Excuse me one moment.” He said, bowing again and stepping behind a corner of a building. “No! It goes over here, like this! It’s not like they’re going to come out of the ground!” He yelled

Chapter 19: Razor Jungle War: A state of armed conflict between different nations or states. Special Usage: A sustained effort to deal with or end a particular unpleasant or undersireable situation.        Passing this time didn’t bring anything new, I saw the same lights, and heard the same melody in the few brief seconds the Passing took. Then it was over, I landed on my talons and instantly sank two feet into mud, looking up and around as Lani, Osmond, and Levi landed around me. The first thing I noticed was the dense brush, followed by the trees. The underbrush was thick and nearly impossible to see through. The

Chapter 18: The Eternal Maze Maze: A network of paths and hedges designed as a puzzle through which one has to find a way.       I saw a trio of spinning lights, beyond that, a bright blue blur was visible, and I heard a melody as we came to the new, next world. I landed on my knees, looking at the ground and breathing hard as Lani, Osmond, and Levi landed on their backs next to me. They groaned as I looked up, seeing a gray wall, and beyond that…more gray? Confused, I looked up. A gray dome arched into the sky, with the roof miles above us. My eyes grew large as I took in the sight, there were gigantic cracks in the r

Chapter 17: The Dragon Team: Two or more people working together.         I pulled the radio out of my pouch, flipping the switch to let it power on. “Osmond, Levi, is anyone there?” I asked, broadcasting a message that I hoped someone would respond to. For a few seconds, nothing happened. Then, it spoke. “Your power will be your undoing Wanderer.” A voice hissed, it was deep, smooth, and completely toneless. “Eaphron? This is Levi, where are you?” Levi called, coming immediately after the strange message. “En route to your area, hang on.” I said, landing briefly. I tucked the radio away; u
