Scepters of Empyrea

by Vignesh Ravichandran

  Lord Kraity fiercely held her scepter, and the thunders rumbled all over the place. A strong dark storm surrounded Lord Kraity like a hurricane, the people near to her started facing the strong current of it, even the fast swirling Ebra snakes are struggling to withstand in the current of the hurricane.

  The storm is getting darker for every second and it prolonged for a longer time. Once it ended lord Kraity is fiercely standing in an Animo-Empyrean form. Lord Kraity’s lower body turned as a serpent, Kraity lengths 12 feet with that serpent lower body, her snake eyes and spinning snake tongue shows her aggression in the death of her brother.

  I have no interest in prisoners, tear them all, fill the field with their blood, fiercely ordered Lord Kraity to her serpent army and hissed with her snake tongue.

  When Lord Tyrant fiercely held his scepter, a crack of thunder, a whirlwind of light and power swirled around tyrant's figure.

  Unlike Kraity's transformation, tyrant's is much more diabolical. His head throbs and expands. It’s no longer like his. It's turning like a weird creature. He grows and changes within a nimbus of roaring light. Finally, the light dies away, and lord tyrant rises from a circle of swirling smoke with a giant sized green head with a double row of jagged canine teeth. His eyes glow hell fire green, and his huge grin stretches out like a tyrannosaurus, his under eyes that glow green with wicked power. His voice is a deep inhuman rumble. Lord Tyrant head has been turned up like a velox, but his other parts of the body remained as the empyrean, he is roaring like a velox, and his strongest muscles are out busting in his inner rage.

  Don’t show any mercy, slaughter their heads, ordered Lord Tyrant to his dino army with his rumble velox voice.

  Is that Kraity….!!!!! How she could transform like that, top half as an Empyrean and lower as the serpent. Anyway, it’s time to face her, and I will tear her in my single hand, said Lord Manav.

  Wow!!! Lord Manav, your braveness makes me remain courageous, appreciated lee.

  Lord Kraity's snake army is approaching the ape army with the twist and turns like a real snake.

  Charge!!!! Let’s do it for Ameer!! Fiercely said Lord Manav.

  Lord Manav sent some of his infantry Vathroos and empyreans to attack the snake army of Lord Kraity. As a counter assail, Lord Kraity obliged with some of her infantry Nagas but less than the count of Vathroos and Empyreans.

  The Nagas might be the strongest, but not professional warriors like Vathroos, who descended from the headhunters. Vathroos spears were nailing into the chest of Nagas and releasing another side. Some Vathroos were spinning the steel chain which has been molded with the giant iron ball at its end, it hits the foe army members and squashing them all together. The empyrean army has many bravest swordsman. They were giving an equal support to the Vathroos in defeating the Nagas by slicing their heads. The apes were grasping the neck of snakes and taking their lives away.

  Dinomen commander blew the conch!! War!!! War!!! War!!!

  (Battle place echoed)

  Lord Tyrant with his dino army rushed towards the palace to grab the throne, his eyes were raging in red to take the revenge for killing his son Pitheceus.

  They are forwarding, take your positions, archers be ready, let’s do it for the sake of Empyrea, ordered Lord Royston with spirit.

  The war isn’t a total mess-up with everyone. Each side sent different forces upfront, some to attack and some to defend.

  At first, Lord Tyrant ordered his Quetzalcoatlus to free up their way to the palace. With that, they carried the huge boulders at its claws and headed towards the empyrean army.

  Lord Royston, the flying dinosaurs Quetzalcoatlus are on their flight approaching towards us with huge boulders lifted in their legs, said Supreme Commander Edrick.

  Wait!! Wait!! Come on baby. Come on. Lord Royston waited for his time.

  Lord Tyrant backed the Quetzalcoatlus with the infantry Dinomen army to slash the heads of the empyreans. Their tongues were ready to taste the delicious empyrean blood. Another side, the empyrean army has been waiting for the order from Lord Royston, but he remained silent, kneeled on the ground, closed his eyes and bent his head down by holding his scepter of nature in his loose hands. By seeing this, the foe dino army came rushing towards the empyrean army with echoing laughs. But, they didn’t know the lord of lords is apologizing to Lord Emra and Lord Emla for what is yet to come on the battlefield.

  Lord Royston after his silence, opened his sharp eyes in a firing way. He held the scepter of nature firmly and looked at the approaching dino army and made a quick chuckle which is a means of saying that’s their last laugh. He got up and started spinning the scepter of nature in his firm hands, and the trees nearby started swaying in its wind. He spun it faster and faster as of like the blade of a chopper, the surrounding atmosphere reacted and formed a wild wind, when the dino army almost neared their area he fiercely nailed his spinning scepter of nature into the ground and yelled like a beast in the battlefield.

  Soon the ground reacted to his power, the substances on the ground floated up and mingled with the wild wind around the vibrating scepter and transformed itself into as a sand storm. While seeing the approaching sand storm, the dino army's the laughs disappeared and fear filled with great astonishment. The sandstorm started swirling the Quetzalcoatlus birds and the infantry Dinomen into its hurricane and turning the battlefield into a barren dessert.

  The Dinomen had been beaten down by the forces of nature: sand, wind, heat. The sandstorm is merciless to those who do not strive to live and is graceful to those who continue on.

  Is nature god Lord Royston turning his own paradise into a desert…?? NO. At the right time, he unplugged his vibrating scepter from the ground and stopped the wild hurricane. Not ended with that, he gave a surprise gift to his foe army for getting inside their borders.

  Archers!!!! Shoot the flaming arrows. General!!! Fire the catapults, ordered Lord Royston. At his orders, the great catapults fired the boulders Thwat! Thwat! Thwat! The archers targeted their arrows zig! zig! zig!

  Dinomen look up, only to see the heavens falling with arrows. Arrow after arrow falls down relentlessly on them, one catching in the thigh of one Dinomen, three catching in the shoulders of other. Several more fly on the Quetzalcoatlus, which crumbles into the sands. The dino army after getting survived from the violent wind didn’t expect this move. Before they react, the flaming arrows rightly hit the wide wingspan of Quetzalcoatlus and the infantry Dinomen.

  Lord Kraity sent the infantry Naga army in fewer numbers for executing her plan. When the Vathroos and Empyreans were keen in defeating the Naga people, Lord Kraity circled them and transformed her array as a hunters moon wheel.

  It isn’t a full moon like hunters night, it’s kind of full moon with many inner layers, and it’s like a puzzle which is very difficult to solve, and no one very easily get in or get out from the hunting wheel puzzle.

  The Nagas along with the snakes spinning like a wheel around the empyreans and Vathroos. Even though the Empyreans and the Vathroos are stuck at the center of the Hunters moon, they stood courageously and tried breaking the inner layers. Three Vathroos and two Empyreans were kicking at the shield of Naga people, who were standing as the layers with their shields. At that time, a sharp blade swung around their necks from their left, it made their eye pupils turn along with the swing of the blade, before their eye pupil meet the right edge of their eye, their five heads rolled down on the ground, that’s the scepter blade of Lord Kraity.

  The half serpent Lord Kraity spread her snake tongue over the battlefield and licked the empyrean’s falling blood, catching on her long outstretched snake tongue before the drop could find its way to the ground.

  (Nagas cheered)

  Lord Kraity fierce with the frown and terrible countenance, armed with her scepter. She looks very
appalling in her half serpent skin, with gaping mouth, fearful with her tongue lolling out, having deep reddish eyes, and filling the regions of the sky with her roars.

  When an ape was crushing a venomous 10 feet ebra snake, the black anaconda raises from its behind, with the hisss sound the ape turns and checks it, with dread the ape looked higher and higher and higher, before it could see its face it went into the mouth of an anaconda. The colossal snakes showed their appearance inside the wheel. There were more than 400 gigantic snakes in the length of 20-25feet.

  Dozens of gigantic snakes swallowed hundreds of Vathroos and empyreans inside the hunter’s moon wheel. Once Lord Kraity had destroyed all her foe inside the hunting moon wheel, she began a terrific dance out of the sheer joy of victory. The battlefield began to tremble and sway under the impact of her dance. She bedecks herself with the garland of Empyreans and Vathroos skulls. She looked dreadful with the garland of skulls in her half serpent body.

  The Nagas started worshiping her lordly appearance by bowing to her in the battlefield, and they constantly sang the glories of the Lord Kraity from all their mouths. Lord Kraity is so kind to her Naga devotees but harsh to empyreans and Vathroos. Now, Lord Kraity’s aim is to establish her authority as a goddess fully and to acquire steadfast throne for ruling the universe.

  Lord Manav!! Do you have any plan to break this array, asked deva.

  The array is like an illusion, and it will make you stick to it. They can’t stay on this Hunting wheel forever, they need to change their array to forward, and that will be our time, just relax and be patient, said Lord Manav.

  The Lord of Power Tyrant Seth had many crucial plans. He sent his strongest Triceratop army along with the Quetzalcoatlus back archers. The archers were standing on the jet like racing Quetzalcoatlus and firing their flaming arrows against the empyrean army. At the down, the Triceratop army forced Lord Royston to send his mastodon forces to stop them.

  Each mastodon was carrying a war tower in sheer rage to crush the dino army on their feet. Their huge tusks were carrying a sturdy iron rimmed wood to hurl the foes towards the sky.

  Mastodon trumpets, calling all his archers to fire arrows at the foe army. The archers on mastodon back holler out a battle cry, calling up another archer, increasing mastodon’s attack speed by a second to second. Enraged, mastodons charges forward a short distance with their tusks, dealing physical damage to all nearby enemies and knocking them up.

  Even though the mastodon is considered as the most powerful mammal, they aren’t equivalent to the power of Triceratops. Each Triceratop is equivalent to two mastodons. The ground is quaking in the run of Triceratops and mastodons.

  From the start of this Triceratop attack, Lord Tyrant seemed to be in up ahead. He had the idea of conquering the throne soon. He ordered the Quetzalcoatlus back warriors and archers to head towards the palace. At the battle field, he sent his small 2-3 feet Compsognathus in the middle, they were the extreme lovers of mastodon meat, and they jumped on the mastodons and tasted the chunk of flesh. He also backed up them with the tailed Dinomens. They are the toughest army people ever, and their strength is thrice the power of empyreans, who is twice the power of humans. In one punch of Dinomen, the empyreans are flying back and biting the dust. The Dinomens sharp bizarre axes were slicing the elk back empyrean soldiers along with the elk in the single swing.

  While the empyreans are falling, Lord Tyrant turned his array into Half-moon and forwarded to Lord Royston’s hollow square. Lord Tyrant leads his Half-moon army upfront, and two supreme commanders are following Lord Tyrant at both the extreme edges of the Half-moon, Velox back dino warriors have been riding the velox at the front of the Half-moon, the remaining Triceratops and the Apatosaurus were following them at the back of the Half-moon. The flying dinosaurs Quetzalcoatlus were flying near to the Half-moon like the shining stars, and the archers on them making empyreans to feel their flaming dino arrows like meteors, the flaming arrows are almost burning them.

  Lord!! Give us the orders. What could we do now, asked Supreme Commander Edrick, but Lord Royston is remaining silent by sighting the Half Moon formation of Lord Tyrant.

  Lord Kraity finished her dance inside the hunters moon wheel and her army started spreading and changed the array as an ocean. Nagas formed as groups in different places and forwarded like ocean waves. The snakes are forwarding like swimming in the ocean, and lord Kraity is forwarding in her chariot as like floating on the ocean.

  The time we waited for came. Deva you lead the apes, Leonce you lead the empyreans, Vathroos be ready, let's transform our array as a scorpion. The scorpion looked terrific. The flaming archers have been placed at the sting of the scorpion. They were firing their arrows as of like the scorpion releases the poison from its sting. The apes were spread all over the scorpion as its legs, and the infantry Vathroos mingled with the apes. With the mixed of empyreans and Vathroos, the scorpion looked terrific in the black and green pattern, the venomous scorpion of all.

  Charge!!!!! (Battle place echoed)All the army of Lord Manav uncaring about their very lives rushed with raised flags and standing against the Kraity's snake army with cheering hearts.

  When Lord Kraity saw the scorpion approaching them ordered his snake army to destroy everything which comes in the middle and ordered to show them the death.

  Both the armies met each other. The Nagas were lunging on the scorpion to break the array. They were turning the things difficult for the empyreans and to the Vathroos. When their foe comes to attack them, they started hypnotizing the foe member by doing some snake steps like lolling their tongue and shaking their necks along with raised legs and hands. Later, their foe automatically tends to simulate the same movements of the Nagas, but unluckily after some time, they are losing their lives in the bizarre axes of Nagas.

  And, everywhere in the battlefield there are snakes, it spins over the Vathroos and taking their breath away. Lord Kraity swings and slashes the heads of Vathroos with her scepter’s blade and started attacking the Empyreans.

  As a counter attack, Lord Manav sent a huge force of mastodons and mammoths at lord Kraity’s snake army. The mastodons bellow as they are goaded into war, driven mercilessly by their empyrean masters. They lumber into the ocean of snake men and crushing riders beneath their massive feet! Their spiked tusks swing wildly, sweeping and impaling riders! The battlefield is in chaos as mastodons and mammoths decimate the valiant snake army of Lord Kraity.

  When Lord Kraity saw the mass of elephants approaching, she got down from her chariot and went to attack them single handily. On her way, Lord Kraity casually bends herself for ignoring the rocketing iron ball of Vathroo. The iron ball passed her by touching her eyebrows, she summoned her scepter to get into the throat of iron ball Vathroo before coming back to normal position, and within seconds she summoned it back and met a 7feet gorilla which came across, she sliced its head and approached the mastodons. But, they scattered and stampeded into the snake forces by killing many.

  The gorillas arrogantly jumped on one another and formed an astonishing ape pyramid with four layers. It heights more than the height of gigantic snakes, every ape is vigorous and masculine, the 20feet snake swirled towards the ape pyramid to spin over it, but in a surprise note all the apes lunged together on the gigantic snake and tore its body with their sharp claws.

  Some apes rode on the arrogant mammoths and battled against the gigantic snake. When the snake attacks or defends the mammoths, the apes lunge on them and tears the snakes with their claws and tasting their flesh with their sharp tooth.

  The giant stout orange furred orangutans forwarded in extreme rage to smash the snakes and the Nagas. They use their long hands to run faster and also grabs the ground snakes and tearing them into two.

  Some other apes took the shields and spears in the busy battlefield, pushes and hurls the foe army with their shields all the way. Some came to their right poi
nt and hurled their spears toward the giant snakes, which are rightly rocketing into the snake hoods and coming by another side. Chimpanzees are jumping all over the battlefield and spoiling the battle plan of Lord Kraity.
