TALES FROM THE ORDER OF THE TWILIGHT CHILDREN - HEAD WIZARD ANG-NATH PRESIDING OVER HIS ORDER'S POST WAR GENERAL MEETING

...You should feel honored, Master Wizard! Not many people can boast presiding over our Order's important meeting without any untoward incidents! (The Order's two major

Factions the Vampire and the Lycan Cartel were traditional rivals) Alas, getting both sides to the meeting table is but half the story my friend! Through all my years of

Infiltrating the Holy Estate (Ang-Nath used to be an elite Ja-aanite spy) nothing unites the bitterest of rivals faster than a universal threat--and this is what we're here for today

Unfortunately...! But Master! Don't you think it's unwise to go against Master Kevga's decree? Against Akephalos? Yes! Against those Nifashah Akq-Sahr? Remember we're forever in the grey zone, my friend...! (Sigh)

TALES FROM THE ORDER OF THE GLISTENING SKIES - HEAD SKY WIZARD LEVIN LORD LUWING-XI TRAINING HARD FOR THE UPCOMING DANCE OF LIFE

Blas! Tu-bis blas! Blas! Tu-bis blas! Blas-das! Blas-das! Blas! Tu-bis blas! (Rhythm chants) The night is won by the light, the day is won by the dark! Of heretofore forevermore I seek the shelters tall--damnit! I'm not...feeling the beat again...! Once more...from the top! That's enough Master Luwing-Xi...you're overexerting yourself! (Scoff) I don't care!

I must not miss a beat...I must...do...my...very best! (Sigh) Remember, the sky is both a powerful shell and caring palms that cradled the earth, fire, water and air; hence you must find the gentleness amidst--(Sniffle) Master, this is hardly the time for self--Shut up...shut up, Staff! You're...the only one...who knows how...I became the damned...Sky Bearer...!

(Luwing-Xi had to kill their senile founder Patriarch Orgon, his granddaughter and even his own cousin Stumika in order to claim the leadership mantle) I can't be up there unless I give it all I got! I must...prove to them...I'm not...a...usurper...! But, but Master! Nobody really cares how you lead us! They're actually very glad that somebody came and

Dug out our Order from the muck of infamy! (Sigh) Yes, I know I never hid my doubts about your leadership quality but...even a millennia old magickal staff can be wrong! Hence I chose to serve you instead of that Orgon...and I will see to it that nobody thinks you are anything BUT unworthy...Master...! (Sigh) Thanks Staff...I really appreciate it...!

TALES FROM THE ORDER OF THE SANDS OF TIME - HEAD TIME WIZARD STUMIKTA TAKING A BREAK FROM HIS TRAINING FOR THE DANCE OF LIFE RITUAL

Something's the matter, Master Stumikta? (Sigh) Of late the music is getting darker and darker...some parts of it even sound like the end of everything is near! (In life, every seconds are akin to musical notes) Well that's the only unbearable fact of being a Time Mage, my boy

We get to "hear" the future earlier than mostly everyone! Well yes but, can't we do anything, Master Alphos? That damned Akephalos had brought a lot of temporal discordance into the scheme of things of late, yet Master Kevga refrained us from doing anything, saying

It's in the hands of not The Hall of Wizards...but what if? So you're saying the Guardians are not up to the task, is that it? But what does your feelings tell you? (Sigh) That we should all embrace changes even if it's not what we wanted...even more so for us Time Mages! I share your

Sentiments, Time Keeper! The Final Prophecy will duly commence once the "Two Emperors are enthroned" but alas, whatever it will disclose about the fate and future of XNROE--and its effect on the universe--your guess is as good as mine! (Sigh) That's it, I'm going back in again, Master!

TALES FROM THE ORDER OF THE LIVING EARTH - CHIEF EARTH MAGE KHAIROS MEDITATING IN ONE OF XNROE'S MANY METAPHYSICAL POINTS

Fair days eternal, Brother Khairos! This isn't your usual meditation place, brother? Please leave me be, Luwing-Xi...I'm not in the mood for fun and games tonight...go and bother Humoga instead...! Oh, heheh! No, but hey, likewise, Khairos! It's just odd you'd choose a Sky Nexus instead of the plain old Earth to meditate? (Sigh) The Earth is not doing it for

Me today, Luwing-Xi, so I guess maybe I'd try and recalibrate my ethereal connections, while the Moon Of Hope is still full...! Well I can't say much, we sky wizards would also meditate like this during emergencies--like what happened last year...! (The war with The Dark Deity's Repo forces) So are you okay, Khairos? (Sigh) The connections are

Still functional but I can't figure out why my magickal junction's still out...I'm running out of options! Well maybe you should try it out at the Altar of The Nine Planets? What!? That edifice is off limits to all mages since The Third Great War...we can't just saunter in? But you know that if the Earth's not working and the Heaven's not working then maybe

You should check on your Spirit Core? (Sigh) It did crossed my mind but what--Ah, damn those Imperial Samawi edicts, where were they when our Master Kevga rebuilt The Hall of Wizards!? The Dark Deity is dead and we need to do the Dance Of Life to clean up all these mess--So what would you have me do, Luwing-Xi? This...does not leave the cave...!

CHILDHOOD FRIENDS AND FELLOW WIZARDS KEVGA AND BEVIGA TALKING BEFORE THE MAGICK ORB “CALL OF THE HEART-SHAPED SEA”

CHILDHOOD FRIENDS AND FELLOW WIZARDS KEVGA AND BEVIGA TALKING BEFORE THE MAGICK ORB “CALL OF THE HEART-SHAPED SEA”

I figured you and Humoga are still at it? It’s hard to tell, Beviga! God only knows what else he’d seen while he’s in a coma, other than what really went on in my...!

Please Kevga, It would only bring back the hurt to recall them again! I was there when it happened, remember? (Sigh) And I’m thankful for that! Though now I sensed that

My own son thinks differently of me each time he...! Hey, at least he now knows why your personal views on him borders on guilt, right? Yes I know that now, but alas it didn’t

Make me feel any better! (Sigh) I guess Humoga and I need to accept the new norms from now on...things will never be the same for the two of us! Don’t feel bad, Kevga! He will always have friends by his side--and so would you! Thanks a lot Beviga...!

THE LEADER OF THE WATER WIZARDS AND THE “CALL OF THE HEART-SHAPED SEA” AQUA SPHERE, CONVERSING

THE LEADER OF THE WATER WIZARDS AND THE “CALL OF THE HEART-SHAPED SEA” AQUA SPHERE, CONVERSING

The Silent Traveler’s arrival has been foretold, yet I’m curious as to how will our world reacted to him, the one who nearly destroyed the scheme of things just to save the world he loved but alas! The one who loves him the most--his own twin Shairo--tolled his death bell by the might of his blade! Beviga, did you know

When Shaira was born, there was an unexpected tide in the Heart-Shaped Sea? No I didn’t, nor did I care that much for what happened in the Samawi Kingdom in truth...! Forsooth he was born an hour before dawn, and his twin afterwards! What’s more his birth was under the New Moon, as opposed to Shairo’s sun!

So do you mean to say Shaira will always walk the path of darkness, albeit Shaik is long dead? No, but we have to remember our real fight is not with the Shudwa Dumanta Legion but rather...the Ja-annites still! Now who wouldn’t remember that? He has a vital part to play in the Fourth Crusade Great Ocean Master, or rather

Had a part! But alas, even with the powers of all the oceans in the universe, my sight is limited! For this I’m worried...! And double that for me still! With Kevga having family problems and I had to act on his behalf...pray, what am I to do? Beviga, when the time comes you will come to assist him! What the...! Surely ye jest?

THE CHIEF NECROMANCER AND THE SHAPE-SHIFTING DARK WIZARD  CONVERSING IN THE SHADOWS

THE CHIEF NECROMANCER AND THE SHAPE-SHIFTING DARK WIZARD  CONVERSING IN THE SHADOWS

He’s coming, isn’t he? The resurrected Mad Wolf alias the Silent Traveler--Yes Ang-Nath! I knew it would only be a matter of time before you’d hasten to see me with that news! (Sigh) Marhos you and I knew how hard it is to maintain 

The balance of darkness and light in this world! And I don’t have to use your all-seeing speculum to prove it! But this is hardly the right time--Fayerina my only sister is dying Ang-Nath! Though it pains me to death to ask the one who put her 

In that spot to release her I have no choice! I know this is akin to betrayal to our long-suffering friend Kevga but I’m willing to bite the bullet! I don’t want her to...! (Sigh) We all have loved ones it seems, a dull streak on our immortal facade...

So are you going to report me to the Head of the Holy Estate? That is not going to happen and you know it! Head Wizard Kevga will have to put his own house’s affairs in order first before anything else! Your secret is safe with me Marhos! Thank you...
