Scepters of Empyrea

by Vignesh Ravichandran

  It’s time to finish off the things, outraged Lord Kraity in the battlefield and transformed herself into a gigantic snake with 30feet in length. Her skin layer is unlike from other snakes, she has got a peculiar stone like skin layer with an ash and white curvy pattern, and her head as got the sharp stony spikes. Her outstretching curved sharpie teeth alone is 4meter long. She lengthens her hissing tongue long enough to taste the spicy blood of her foe army. She rose up and gave a dreadful pose by spreading her orange color hood. She is terrible as time itself and even greater than time. With that, the Nagas jointly raised their two hands and worshipped her gigantic appearance by bowing to her.

  I expected this, but not as quick as this, said Lee with shock in his face.

  Lord Royston arrayed his troops as a mammoth head and wrecks much havoc upon the Lord Tyrant’s half-moon army.

  The empyreans think they can keep us contained. Hahaha, No matter how much of the Empyrea gets destroyed, today we will show them that they can’t stop the rot, ordered Lord tyrant to his commanders and sent his huge force of surprise.

  An empyrean soldier who went ahead comes running back. He shouts out something, but the vast desert mutes the sound. He flails his arms, screaming out, and the panic is immediately recognizable. Empyreans look around at each other in fear. Suddenly, a trumpet echoes out in the desert, and the sky becomes dark.

  The Empyrean soldier falls, rolling into the sand, but he wastes no time in rising, continuing his run. Group of giant shadows appears behind him in the sandstorm, beasts unlike any other. They are massive, a monster of creatures, they were the giant long-necked Apatosaurus. Each one is carrying a war-tower, packed with Dinomen warriors! The empyrean soldier falls to the ground and got crushed by the giant limbs of the creature never to rise again.

  The beast approaches slowly towards the empyrean army, but the empyreans cannot run, they must fight back. The best warriors take up their bows to fire at the beast. On Apatosaurus, several Dinomen appear from the top, all armed with bows and harpoons of their own.

  The rider on the Apatosaurus fires a single piercing harpoon on an Empyrean soldier, they had tied the harpoon in the neck of Apatosaurus. The sharp harpoon injected and gave true damage to the Empyrean by coming out another side of him. The Empyrean was hurled violently on the nearby empyrean soldiers by the ferocious head shake of the long-necked Apatosaurus. Also, the height of Apatosaurus helps the dino archers on it to inject their arrows and harpoons rightly into the chest of empyreans.

  The Dino raiders above on the beast are hollering, screaming out in a language which is not intelligible. The beast no longer lumbers around, but instead goes into what is undeniably a charge, swinging its massive neck. Empyreans run and leap out of the beast's way, only to fall, pierced by arrows. One Empyrean falls in the sand, only to look up into the foot of the monster, crushing him into the sand. Most of the elks are flung across the desert, or gored on the giant legs of the beast.

  Lord Royston sent the frontal attackers to attack the Dino army. The attackers were equipped with short-range weapons like maces, battle-axes, swords, and lances for slaughtering the dino army. The Dinomens were carrying the strongest clubs with a heavy boulder head and spikes. Dinomens were making horrible sounds and rushing towards the empyreans to taste their blood.

  But, Lord Royston had an element of surprise, with the bowmen showering their arrows by hiding behind the frontal attackers. The sudden showering arrows distracted the concentration of dino army, which helped the frontal empyreans to smash, slice & squash the Dinomen. The surprising part didn't end with the hiding archers. There were another group of forces ready behind archers, and they were the elk back empyrean soldiers. The elks jumped higher than archers, frontal attackers, and marathon towards the dino army. The infantry Dinomen stood miserable, the elks jumped enough above their foe and helped their soldiers to slice the heads of the Dinomen.

  The dino archers on the Apatosaurus fired their flaming arrows and took some of the lives of elk back empyrean soldiers, by that the elks went thrashing on the ground and stampede to their death. The frontal attackers by seeing this lunged forward and attacked the Apatosaurus foot, sliced it and made them panic. They bellow their creepy voices and lumber into the battlefield by crushing many.

  The 14year old Ebinav is facing the Dinomens one among the frontal attackers. With the training techniques of Ameer, he slashes the heads of the Dinomen very bravely.

  Meanwhile, Supreme commander Edrick rode his chariot towards the left of Lord Tyrant’s half-moon to face the Dino commander of Lord Tyrant. The dino commander rides his velox chariot three times faster than Edrick. On their way to meet each other, they were slicing the heads of their foe army members. A competition prevailed on their ride. Supreme empyrean commander Edrick gave a backswing and side swing with his sword to slash the flesh of Dinomen, on the other, the dino commander with his mace striking the heads of empyreans and rolling them on the ground.

  When they met each other, the dino commander moved to give a quick front strike pointing towards the chest of Edrick, smartly Edrick read this and bent himself, dino commander missing the front strike followed a back strike. Edrick responded to his attack by turning his chariot another way, both the commanders were facing others chariot. They stood face to face for a while, with an aloud shout both threw their weapons on other like a dart. The boulder mace produced the firing sparks when it slightly met the blade of the sword, the mace missed Edrick and hit the hood of his chariot, but the sparkling Edrick’s sword didn’t miss, rightly nailed into the throat of dino commander.

  On the other side, 14year old Ebinav fights bravely in the battle field, his impressive slashes and lunges making others to watch his movements. He gave a lunging uppercut to a Triceratop back dino warrior and made him fell from the Triceratop. The fell dino warrior roared like the dinosaurs and moved his iron mace against the chest of Ebinav with fierce. Ebinav moved his step back a little and lunged towards him, sliced his head with his sword while he is in the air.

  I can’t take this anymore. Make the velox attack ordered Lord Tyrant.

  Velox attack!!!! Edrick looked the battle place with the surprise of shock.

  Ext. South Battlefield- Day

  Lord Tyrant ordered for the velox attack to finish the war and to conquer his throne. He unreleased his array, there is no array now. Once he ordered the velox attack, the battle place echoed with fast running foots. More than 6000 veloxes approached the Empyrean army to squander the battlefield. Each velox is capable of chunking the fleshes of two mastodons.

  The Dinomens have ridden some veloxes, and they were rushing towards the empyrean army with full of starving and were ready to have a tummy full of lunch.

  Lord!! Stopping these veloxes from fast and chunking is impossible. Tyrant has broken out his war formation, and we need to act quickly before he transforms into a tyrannosaurus, said edrick.

  It always seems impossible until it’s done. We must walk the path to victory. Let us not pray to be sheltered from dangers, but to be fearless when facing them. You lead the elk back soldiers forward, left side archers be ready to attack the Quetzalcoatlus, right be ready with the flames, I will take care of Tyrant, ordered Lord Royston and forwarded towards Lord Tyrant by riding on a raging mammoth.

  Meanwhile, Lord Tyrant’s scepter is lunging upon impetuously and slaughtering the heads of mastodons and tearing the bodies of empyreans. When Lord Royston forwarding to face Lord Tyrant, the supreme commander edrick covers him with his bow and protects him from hazards. But the battlefield is filled with more veloxes, the archers couldn’t able meet their target because of the speed of velox, the mastodons support the empyrean army by hurling the veloxes with their tusks, but when more than two veloxes surround the mastodon, only the mastodon's bone remains.

  The fastest velox reached the empyrean area, aimed to attack the supreme commander edrick. The velox overpowered him, and edrick was forced t
o draw up his bow. He strung it and notched an arrow. He drew the string to his ear, waiting patiently as the velox ran around, trampling the hermitage and wreaking havoc.

  Just when the velox came within his range, he released his dart, and the diabolic beast fell dead on the ground.

  Meanwhile, the poor Ebinav can’t able to withstand the velox attack, he stuck single handily at the corner of the lava mountain, and the group of veloxes has surrounded him. Ebinav saw Lord Royston crossing him and yelped Lord Royston name to help him, Lord Royston by seeing him stuck in the midst of veloxes turned his mammoth all of a sudden, it raised his enormous two front foots and gave a beastly bawl which made the battlefield to go down to foot.

  Ebinav tried attacking the veloxes with his sword, but it caught the sword with its mouth and split it other way and targeted Ebinav for tasting his flesh. Lord Royston shouted at Ebinav to Lunge from that place, once he lunged Lord Royston with his power of nature out busted the silver lightning thunder from his scepter and nailed in the ground. Lightning bolt approached the veloxes by rupturing the below ground. Veloxes are the top most afraid creatures of light, they started stampeding here and there. Meanwhile, ebinav came out of their way, and Lord Royston burned the veloxes in the silver lighting thunder. Lord Royston lifted ebinav before he fells in the rupture and turned his mammoth.

  Why you stopped it, make our foe armies bury in the heat of silver lighting, asked Ebinav.

  I stopped it because they also belong to Empyrea. Grasp your sword, don’t corner yourself once again. Move to commander Edrick and be with him, ordered Lord Royston and forwarded to attack Lord Tyrant.

  The 30feet Snake Lord Kraity is swallowing an entire 7feet Vathroo without any discomfort. It hits the foe army members with its tail and withstanding itself from the flammable arrows of empyreans.

  I will take on that swallowing beast. You lead our army to victory, said lord Manav to Leonce and started outraging himself. His eyes showed the inner rage of him, and the ape power started flowing in his human blood by an enormous power. His human chests turned broadly like the strongest ape, his entire human physic started muscling up, sharp teeth’s made their vigorous, dark black hairs filled his body, he grew bigger and outraged himself as a one handed 30feet Kong.

  By seeing the Lord of lord before them, the apes beat their chest with their two hands and welcomed their vigorous and arrogant Lord Kong. Transformed Kong Lord Manav took his run towards the anaconda lord Kraity.

  Meanwhile, Leonce and Deva faced the infantry Nagamen.

  Leonce!! Behind you, shouted Deva. Leonce saw them then, Silent as beetles, two Naga men scuttled towards him to attack. Leonce took another long sword from his sheathe and faced against the Nagas. Deva drew the string to his ear and finding for a time to hit the Nagas. A Nagamen made a quick upper cut, and the other followed it with the sharp swing. Leonce bent himself and defended both their attacks with his two swords, by this time Deva gave a headshot to the upper cut Nagamen, and Leonce gave a quick flick to the other Nagamen and finished them.

  Deva!! I owe you one, said Leonce with a smile. But Deva didn’t reply, took up his bow, notched an arrow, and released it towards Leonce. The arrow came in between the massive antlers of the elk and targeting towards Leonce. By seeing this, Leonce reacted soon and hurled his long sword towards Deva. When Deva’s arrow crossed Leonce long sword, both steels shined and glittered with the suns light. The arrow went near Leonce, and the sword went near Deva, both the weapons crossed their faces in a meter gap, Deva’s arrow hit the 14 feet empramid snake which came behind Leonce to swallow him, Leonce long sword nailed into the throat of Nagamen, who came to slaughter Deva from behind. Nice shot, both said at the same time.

  Ext. Royal Palace, Armania- Day

  Suddenly! Quetzalcoatlus dived out of the dim sky and engaged in battle. Soldiers throw themselves down as the Quetzalcoatlus emitted their piercing shrieks! Quetzalcoatlus circled low over the palace like eagles and vultures seeking doomed men's flesh. Soldiers are plucked into the air by shrieking Quetzalcoatlus and dropped to their deaths hundreds of feet below. Towers and buildings are destroyed. Chaos as soldiers, women, and children stampeded everywhere.

  Dinomens jumped down from the Quetzalcoatlus and started facing the apes, mammoths, elks and empyrean warriors who were protecting the palace at the terrace, bridges, and balconies. The Quetzalcoatlus back archers were setting the flammable arrows on the furious apes. In return, the apes were lunging at Quetzalcoatlus and tearing their wings into pieces. By seeing that the Quetzalcoatlus back archers flew above their jump level and fired the apes.

  Lord Tyrant with his scepter of power casually giving quick slashes and slicing the heads of Empyreans. Edrick from far by seeing the casual moves of the Tyrant took the conch and blew it, soon the elks and the mammoths responded, 20 elks and 15 mammoths circled the Animo-Empyrean Lord Tyrant Seth. The ivories of mammoths and the elks were sharp like axes, those have been already drenched with the blood of their foe army members and leaving blood droplets. They were all ready to squash Tyrant in the middle.

  Tyrant chuckles and sees the surrounding foe army. Firstly an elk by brushing its two front foot charged towards Tyrant, soon every animal charged on Tyrant. But they never knew, he is the lord of power. He tightly held the scepter, spanned himself and hurled the scepter like an arc with full power. In a matter of seconds, the scepter started taking out the lives of one animal after another. Initially, it rocketed into the neck of a 10feet elk and out busted the other side of it and injected into the heaviest mammoth's abdomen and even bought out the organs of the mammoth and continued its travel like an arc by killing others.

  Meanwhile, Tyrant took his run, his footsteps started thudding faster, and whooshing to his first target was the 3000kg wooly mammoth. The mammoth dreaded in fear when Lord Tyrant lifted it by holding its huge tusks, he spun and threw the mammoth out of the circle and targeted others. He is running so fast like a velox and making others as his prey. The Empyrean army can't able to read his run, he moves like diagonals of the star and creates the star in the circle with ground smoke.

  On the other his scepter is still in fierce force, it even slices the antlers of the elks and tusks of the mammoths. The Tyrant and his scepter playing as a team and taking the lives of elks and mammoths. When only one elk and three mammoths left in the circle, Lord Tyrant targeted the elk, held the antlers of it, gave a quick flick at its neck with its foot and broke its neck and right antler at the same time. Later, hurled the broken antler at the mammoth on his left and tore its abdomen. Meantime, the Last mammoth head has been sliced by his scepter. Lord Tyrant casually raised his right hand and grasped his scepter with a chuckle.

  Soon Lord Royston charges him from behind. He represents a charge against Lord Tyrant with a roar like a Lion. Lord Tyrant sidestepped, whirled to face him. Lord Royston lunged to attack Tyrant, Lord Tyrant Seth avoided one flying fist, only to collide with another. They were facing each other with full of agony and rage to kill other.

  You can’t win me kid. See my vast dino army, run out from the battlefield, sneeringly said Lord Tyrant Seth. But, all of sudden Lord Royston gave a quick uppercut, Lord Tyrant defended it with his scepter, and the scepter fight began between the royal Lords.

  Ext. North Battlefield in Armania- Day

  Deva rides an elk-drawn chariot, which extends blades and kills the Nagamen who comes in contact with. He rides it around the battlefield and killing every Nagamen in sight with his sword as well.

  On the other side, the one handed 30feet Kong is facing the most venomous 30feet Anaconda. It’s challenging to defend the venomous 30feet anaconda with a single hand, but it wrapped all over the body of Kong and creeping on its abdomen. The Kong Lord Manav is trying to remove the Anaconda Lord Kraity, but she strongly tightens him for breaking his bones.

  Hey Manav!!!! What are you doing, this is not the moment
to stay foolish with your stupid thoughts. If ameer hasn’t died, he also would have said the same, be practical, use both your arms otherwise she will break your bones and swallow you, shouted Leonce. But, Lord Manav didn’t seem to realize, he tries to unwrap her from his body with his single hand.

  Hey Manav, this is not the time to enjoy the girls wrap, she is our foe, get into action. Oh my god, he didn’t seem to correct his mistake, I need to rage him, that will be the only way to save him, thought Leonce and shouted, hey one handed freak, you are a waste resource to our army, I must have killed you at Goa, you one handed coward, acted Leonce to outrage him.
