Scepters of Empyrea

by Vignesh Ravichandran

  Emathadon and Tyrannosaurus circle one another like gladiators, each searching for the other's weakness. Firstly, the Tyrannosaurus snarled and flexed his monstrous clawed fingers, then bellowed challengingly. Emathadon bawls back and quiddity, the people fled as the two giants charged at each other.

  First strike came from the Emathadon who had slammed the side of his large mountainous head against the right side of the tyrannosaurs large body hard. A sharp painful screech erupted from the Tyrannosaurus's jaws due to the Emathadon digging its dagger tusks into the Tyrannosaurus's flesh. Warm blood streamed from the Tyrannosaurus wounds and pooled into the ground dirt. The Tyrannosaurus shook its head and glanced at Emathadon with a surprised look in its eyes. Because it had never seen an Emathadon do that to a dinosaur before its whole life.

  Emathadon never gave its opponent a chance to attack as it dashed after the Tyrannosaurus, but it quickly realized that was a mistake as the Tyrannosaurus spun around and clubbed the side of his face with its tail, forcing it to take a few steps back. The Tyrannosaurus lowered its head and charged Emathadon at its full speed. Emathadon shook its head, but as it was about to face its opponent, the Tyrannosaurus caught him off-guard by slamming its head into its chest, literally knocking it off to its feet and causing it to crash to the ground.

  Emathadon bellowed thunderously at the Tyrannosaurus and charged again. Tyrannosaurus sidesteps the assault, its tail knocking down small trees as it spins out of the way. The Emathadon stomped forward and pushed its left foot brutally onto the Tyrannosaurus's femur, then bent its body down and swirled its trunk over the Tyrannosaurus's neck with bone-Crushing force.

  Tyrannosaurus eyes have been raging in red to take the revenge. It rose up, and bit down on Emathadon's back foot. Emathadon shrieked in utter pain from the Tyrannosaurus bite force but quickly lashed out with its tusks tripping it and forcing it to release the grip while slamming to the ground. The strength of it crushed the Tyrannosaurus neck and it pulled its head back hard.

  The Tyrannosaurus screeched again, this time louder than the first. Tyrannosaurus dealt enough disadvantage with violent shaking, twisting, and pulling of Emathadon's tusks and trunk, and now it will probably end up biting a good chunk out of the Emathadon. In the force, Tyrannosaur's mouth grabbed the Emathadon tusks, giving the dinosaur a more dexterous weapon that is better able to gain and implement physical control in the fight. The sharp teeth of the tyrannosaur also allow it to grapple and wrestle with another giant animal with its mouth, and it giving the tyrannosaur a grappling advantage over the Emathadon.

  Emathadon tries to fight back, but Tyrannosaurus was a fraction of a second faster and bit down on Emathadon's neck, slamming it down to the ground, but Emathadon quickly lashed out with its tail, smacking the dinosaur in the leg and causing it to release the grip. Emathadon swiftly got back to its feet and lunged, slamming its head into the Tyrannosaurus's ribs and knocking it to the ground. Emathadon retreated to catch his breath as the Tyrannosaurus presses the attack, slamming its tail into the flank of its adversary, and Emathadon is knocked back. As Emathadon struggles to regain its balance, Tyrannosaurus dives forward. Emathadon is driven backward, and as fiercely the claws of the Tyrannosaurs ripped out of the Emathadon's flesh, and soon it chunked the massive abdomen flesh of the Emathadon.

  The Emathadon bellowed painfully before Crashing onto the ground. It laid partially immobile with its wide open abdomen streaming red blood from its wounds. The Tyrannosaurus teeth were still stained with the fresh blood and flesh of Emathadon.

  Emathadon caught its breath, but could only do little as its opponent ripped the flesh. It managed to regain its footing, then turned and trumpeted fiercely at the Tyrannosaurus, its way of telling Tyrannosaurus that it was the dominant one and it was not yet finished its turn.

  Emathadon raised its two foot upfront and lets out a terrifying bawl before the dark pounded sky and sends tyrannosaurus back. Emathadon shrieked in pain but managed to retaliate by lashing out with its sharp tusks. Emathadon fights back ferociously. It slashes at the Tyrannosaurus, with its long tusks and razor sharp antlers. Tyrannosaurus staggers back, wounded.

  Emathadon lunges on the Tyrannosaurus with fury eyes and manages to topple Tyrannosaurus off its feet and sends the falling dinosaur to the ground. Tyrannosaurus clawed feet staggering in the battlefield, and it shook its head frustrating and struggled to stay still. The Emathadon saw the Tyrannosaurus's predicament and seized his chance by forcing and ramming its sharp tusks into the neck of the Tyrannosaurus and rammed it. The force of its powerful body pushed the Tyrannosaurus off its feet and onto its back.

  With a ground-shuttering crash, the dinosaur fells in the battlefield. The foe army scurries out of the way, but as they do so, the head of the Tyrannosaurus lands almost directly on top of them. Soon, the wounded Tyrannosaurus transformed back as Empyrean form of Lord Tyrant Seth. He struggled to open his eyes, he felt his blurry vision and fainted.

  Emathadon form of Lord Royston was also hurt heavily, it bellowed painfully before Crashing onto the ground and transformed back to his human form and fell in the ground, and blood pours out from his abdomen. Lord Royston took an Empyrean flag from the ground and tied it over his abdomen to stop the blood pour and fainted on the ground.

  Leonce, Lord Manav, the dark flag has been hoisted in the palace. This symbolizes the death, fearfully said Deva. Meanwhile, a boulder came flying from the sky and landed next to them, that’s the boulder hit by Lord Kraity. Lord Kraity with her powers healed all the snakes in the battlefield and transformed herself into a diabolic beast.

  Lord Kraity’s entire body had different colorings and different patterns. She stood with her scepter upfront, and her unmated hair flew up in all directions, her elliptical eyes showed the inner fire in her. She started transforming herself into 60feet gigantic dragon snake with irregular cross-bars lined with yellow. She has got a set of six horns like scales above each eye.

  Not ended with that, she was shaking her heads, initial it seem like she is more disturbed for a moment, but within a second she multiplied her into two. The new joiner is the orange dotted yellow empramid snake, which has been attached to her abdomen, the head of this snake is a narrow, flat, triangular, the neck is thin, and it has a distinctive set of two or three horn like scales on the end of the nose. Lord Kraity again shook her two heads once again, now arrived two guests from the same abdomen. One is greenish ehill snake, the body is slender, tapering and slightly compressed, the dorsal scales are overlapping, strongly keeled and have apical pits, its gaping mouth with the long tongue brings the fear of death. The other guest is Ebra snake, which has got the most powerful venomous of all. It had a broad, triangular head that is distinct from the neck. The canthus is also distinct, and the snout is broad. The crown is covered with small imbricate or smooth scales, four dangerous snakes with the single abdomen, with these beast appearances she stood by raising all the hoods of her four heads.

  Manav go, use your both hands, tear her before I devote my eyes forever. Don’t worry about me. Deva will take care of me until you finish that devil creature, please gift me seeing this godly scene Lord Manav, requested Leonce and sent him to grab the victory by tearing her into pieces.

  Half buried face Lord Manav started to scream with rage, anguish and signed furiously. He ran towards the diabolic four headed beasts by holding his scepter, lunged on it in the human form and hit it has a two handed Kong, the face of Kong is buried because of the previous spat of Lord Kraity. The empramid snake raised its hood and approached the Kong to catch its head, Kong guessed the move and caught the neck of the empramid snake in his left hand, and raised his half right hand and made it grew with its inner rage, gave a mighty punch to the empramid snake. But it isn’t made much difference, and the dragon snake caught the head of Kong, the ehill snake caught the right hand of Kong, the ebra spun all over Kong, the empramid snake raised and licked the buried face of Kong with
his huge tongue.

  Don’t be panic Deva he will win the battle, said Leonce.

  Fainted Lord Royston awakes with the sudden effect of the violent ground shake and he heard the screeching noise over the battlefield along with the sound of heavy approaching footsteps.

  Is that the Tyrannosaurus again?? How wounded Lord Tyrant Seth got the strength to transform back, dreaded Lord Royston and got up to check.

  As lightning flashes and thunder cracks in the dark battlefield, the dinosaur lets out an ear-splitting roar. That’s a Spinosaurus, which is indeed bigger than Tyrannosaurus with the crocodile-like snout. This beastie stood in 60 feet long. Its most distinctive feature was the huge sail-like fin on its back. This sail was made from spines that some out of the top of the backbones of the dinosaur. The spines of Spinosaurus, were tremendous 5feet tall. The jaws were long and slender, and the teeth were cone-shaped, like those of a crocodile. It had powerful arms, and four fingers with huge claws. Its legs were long and muscular, and the long tail whipped around behind it and smashing the foe army.

The Phoenix star carving glittered with red, and Prince Body placed carving glittered with green, the star carvings started to transform the soul of the prince from the body of Phoenix to the body of Prince Horus. Prince body acted like undergoing epilepsy in the charge of star carvings. Ejeeth by seeing this took the scepter of Prince Horus from the eoffine box and placed it in the right palm of him.

  The star carvings started transmitting high rays from it, epilepsy stopped in prince body when his two Empyrean hearts started to beat, blood started to spread all over his body, his pale green face started shining with the proper flew of blood. Prince could able to control his physic, he held his scepter at his palm and shook his two foots, he tried frowning his two eyebrows, but still, finds difficult to open his eyes. The soul transmission ended, when the star carving of Prince Horus turned red, and the Phoenix bird turned green. He got up from the Star carving by holding to his scepter, stood manly with muscling chest and biceps, and looked like a handsome prince in the fairy tales.

  (Ejeeth is staring at prince with his gapping open mouth) Ejeeth what are you looking at, let’s start, but before that take the key of Emrath from my eoffine box, Royston and his friends will need it, said Lord Horus and both came out of the underground chamber. Lord Horus whistled and bought two lovely falcon birds down, the two birds picked them and flew towards Falconnia.

  The Spinosaurus hunts down the Empyrean army, and the stampeding legs of it send clods of dirt flying in the air. The Lord Royston and empyrean army are enveloped in dust. Lord Royston watches the terrible creature with a quiet horror.

  It lunges at Lord Royston with gaping jaws. Lord Royston was wounded and weak, he can’t transform to Emathadon again. Lord Royston leaps out of the way just in time and lets out a terrified gasp as the giant foot of it lands mere inches from him.

  Nowhere else to run, the group scatters as the behemoth predator rush forward, it roars thunderous. Lord Royston dives down between two fallen trees to search for the weakness of stamping Spinosaurus. But, he caught on the eyes of Spinosaurus, and it slammed its tail into the flank of its adversary. Lord Royston is again forced to duck for cover, but not forever.

  The Spinosaurus stomped forward and pushed its left clawed foot brutally towards Lord Royston, Spinosaurus bent its body down and opened its wide jaws to chunk Lord Royston fully, but he moved backwards and in the force he pushed off his feet and fell down, the open jaws of Spinosaurus closed in mere gap of Lord Royston’ face with bone crushing force.

  (Lord Horus and Ejeeth neared the coasts of Falconnia)

  Prince!! Check the palace. The dark flag has been hoisted in the palace. We need to save our Empyrea from the dark hands, said Ejeeth.

  Ejeeth!! Blow the conch. Gather every people and creature, take down the dark with the flaming light, let’s get into action, ordered Lord Horus.

  Ejeeth started blowing the conch, soon all the creatures and the people of Falconnia followed Lord Horus’s falcon bird with great joy. The saber tooth tigers and rhinos are leading the run in high speed. The Rhinorios are making their appearance with their weird tridents, and the Falcon birds took their flight, each and everyone in the region followed Lord Horus with joy.

  Ejeeth!! I will send some of my army to North battlefield to assist the ape army of Lord Manav, you lead the rhinos and falcon back Rhinorio archers to the palace and rescue it from the cruel hands. I will head to the south battlefield and take my revenge on my uncle Tyrant Seth for the death of my father, fiercely said Lord Horus and flew to the south battlefield.

  The group of Naga people surrounded Leonce and Deva,

  Deva, I need to watch the royal fight between Lord Manav and Lord Kraity, could you please take care of these people, said Leonce.

  Kong form of Lord Manav finding it difficult to face the four headed gigantic Snake Lord Kraity, he is holding the dragon snakes head at his left hand and trying to remove the wrapped ebra snake from his right hand, the other two snakes were tightening him up to break his spinal bones. The dragon snake with pain in its neck spat the venom, Lord Manav responded immediately and dodge down, the venom hit at the wrapping ebra snake at the right hand of Lord Manav. With that it unwrapped herself and raised his hood, soon its skin started to dry, but it raged herself and caught the shoulders of Lord Manav.

  Deva with two swords in his two hands swings and slices the Naga people, he lunged on a Nagamen and nailed his two swords into the two hearts of Nagamen, took out the head of other Nagamen by inserting his sword at his throat and sliced the hand of another Nagamen. Don’t delay Deva make it quick, casually said Leonce.

  The Spinosaurus snarled at Lord Royston threatening him by revealing its sharp teeth which were splattered in dry blood. Lord Royston was weak, with misery he stares at the wide jaws of Spinosaurus approaching him.

  A sudden screech rendered the air, and a mature falcon bird driven by a warrior circled the neck of Spinosaurus and scratched the neck flesh of Spinosaurus with its sharp claws. Leaving no chance for Spinosaurus, Falcon back warrior strikes again, falcon screeched thunderously at the Spinosaurus and charged. The sharp claws of the falcon scratched below the eye of Spinosaurus and it was pushed off its feet and onto his back, horrendous breaking the back sail in the process. The Spinosaurus was crippled and was unable to regain his footing due to his sail being a literal part of his spinal cord, Lord Tyrant Seth gone weak and can’t able to stay in the form of Spinosaurus, he transformed back as Animo Empyrean form and checks who is the warrior.

  A terrible cry echoes, turning all eyes in the battlefield skyward. An enormous shadow covers the battlefield as a falcon back warrior comes out of the sun, beating its huge wings to slow its descent. Its crimson and red wings, backlit by the sun, seem to glow from within. Falcon lowers its body. The battle warriors stare in awe as Lord Horus get down from it. Lord Tyrant Seth watches it in stunned amazement as of like his death walking towards him. The Dinomens cry out in alarm and scatter as the dreaded beast alights in their midst.

  The dark flag has been hoisted, Ekmali is still crying, she was worried about her kid kalishka and also lost all of her hope to win the battle.

  Suddenly a hideous screech rends the air! The empyreans who are crying for hosting the dark flag looks up to them, a group of Quetzalcoatlus diving straight toward them. The Quetzalcoatlus beast approaches them with jaws open and talons extended!

  But, another sound rends the air suddenly. Smack! The giant falcon bird smashes the Qu
etzalcoatlus, and its claws ripping into the hideous monster's neck!

  An empyrean in the midst of cry looks up. Disbelieving his eyes blinks it and sees the sky; more falcons appear in the sky. With joy, he wipes the tears on his face and shouts- the falcons are coming!!! The falcons are coming!!!
