Gawyn's Horus stories

[Gawyn_Trakkand]

ok this has been a LONG time overdue and no it isn't the last one as promised apologies for that, if i had kept this going to the end it would have been 8 pages long so i decided to make it a 2 parter and here's the first part.

Roofus the Stuntbum watched as the lake around the central island started to roll, giant waves grew as they travelled to the shore. As they broke the froth of the wave burst into flame sending infernos across the beach and over the land around the ancient lake, the beaches shone after the first waves broke as they where turned to glass. The light piercing the sky grew wider and wider, engulfing the island and the lake. A shadow roiled within the light, it grew but moved as though struggling against bonds. Roofus was lost for words he could not believe his eyes, the raw power coming from the island he hadn't even seen from the most powerful warlocks in existence or ever existed. The light shrank in on itself and an eerie silence fell across the land.

An intense explosion came from the centre of the light, destroying all in its path. The explosion made the water surge into one huge wave, it barrelled toward the shore and as the wave hit the lands all around it flame white ad intense roared from it. The inferno scoured the land and destroyed herbred fort killing the small contingent residing there, turning it to slag. The flames spread in a circle from the island, as it went it devoured all that was left green in ignis and making a desert in syrtis. Roofus turned from the oncoming wave and ran for his life, the ancient mage with him stopped him with a light hand on his shoulder. The wave crashed into the burnt cliff and fire soared up its face over the top to spill into alsius's land, the mage held out his arms in front of him. The flame surged around him and Roofus in a small circle, the effort was visible as the ancient roared. against the flame. At the bridge connecting alsius and syrtis the flames channelled down the gorge cut out by the river, it sliced through the bridge cleanly leaving the gargoyles at either side guarding an massive gap.

Eventually the destructive wave dissipated, leaving Roofus standing in a fog of ash. The forest had turned into a field long black stalagmites, that where once alsius's plentiful trees. Roofus stood on the last patch of green for miles. The ash fell quickly and the residual heat beaten eventually by alsius's stabbing cold, Roofus gazed upon madness. A behemoth of a monster rose out of a crouched position, its skin roiling with water and lightning over a body of earth. Its hands surrounded by flame the monsters head was that of something he has never seen before, the face of a man ears of an elf and horns of an utghar. On a massive scale all emotionless made of purest white marble, its eyes covered with ice and frost streaming from them. The expression was as stoney as the flesh that made it, it never changed and on it's shoulder stood the white robed figure of Isemon. A halo of flame and lightning floating above his head, his long blonde hair ragged and drawn carelessly over his face. His eyes had changed to a vibrant red, a grin of insanity fixed permanently to his features. His arm outstretched touched the creatures neck where his palm melted into the marble, tendrils of it ran up his arm. Roofus stepped back griping his temples.
'Isemon what the hell have you done?'

Klutu, Mattdoesblock, Jippy, Gringgo, immune the blue and K A R M A all stood transfixed by the image of the beast. Jippy recovered quicker than the others, he gripped Klutu by the shoulder.
'Tutu your mom's here to take you home.'
The whole group laughed, although they where faced with a terrifying enemy they couldn't help it. Gringgo spoke.
'what the hell do we do now fkrs?'
Klutu shook his head in thought.
'we get back to camp consult with Compost and the other council members.'

Samhael and Compost fled from the Syrtian camp, now they had the distraction of the monster. The wave of flame had cut off the retreat of a group of Syrtian's who where steeling themselves for a final fight. Though they ran through the forest toward the remains of Aggersborg, the beast had fixed itself on the Syrtian camp and the Ignean army and the Syrtian survivors. Isemon's voice boomed and shook the ground of Horus, all he said was.
'Feed on them.'
The beast reached into the Ignean army, its flames enveloping them as it did. Some tried fighting back, lightning crackled down onto the hand and green skulls revolved around it intricate glowing patterns formed on it, but nothing happened. The Behemoths hand opened up rapidly and an expanse of flame engulfed a huge portion of the Ignean's army. They did not burn nor did the ground scorch, they just fell limp onto the floor thin slivers of smoke escaped their bodies and was absorbed by the giant hand. Some reached into the flame to try and save their fallen comrades, but
they only fell to the ground themselves. Lexen looked around and quickly came to his senses, he ordered conjs to his left and right to move back from the expanding cloud of flame. He ordered them to give the warlocks and remaining marksmen in their ranks protection, the conjurers started to concentrate their power and small thin strands of fuchsia light started to thread its way between the army until all the conjurers warlocks and where surrounded by the aura. The monstrosity recoiled for another strike. Isemon still grinning his eyes filled with murderous intent, his perfect features becoming marred with dirt his robes not quite a brilliant white and his hair becoming knotted and ragged. The beasts death clouded fist came in for a strike, the aura of the conjurers went from idly floating between the conjurers to speeding up with a fervour the fist came down with horrific speed. Warlocks flinched, but Lexen kept the Orders going to his clan and his realm mates. The marksmen aimed and warlocks infused their magic's into the arrows they had knocked.
'Aim for its wrist' cried Lexen
'Don't let it through Conjurers, Orimae you lead the defence, DO NOT let Ignis down'
Orimae Fionne nodded and took control of the 20 strong aura group, she opened her palms to the sky with outstretched arms and the strands from the aura shot between her hands. Coiling itself into a ball squirming with the strands of the aura, the fist now eclipsed them, seconds from impact Orimae spun on the spot launching the strands out toward the danger. They came to life spiralling around one another striking the fist head on, they danced between the fingers and gripped the wrist of the titan. Orimae made a gesture as though pulling something to one side, the strands made themselves longer pulling the fist to the side and jerking the behemoth off balance. The fist crashed into the cliff face less than 200 metres away from them, the ground lurched and the marksmen's aim was knocked off balance. They loosed despite it, many missed exploding harmlessly in the dawn sky but a handful hit home the explosions of magic hit the beasts flesh and evaporated its strange fluid skin. The fist fell away from the arm and Isemon roared with pain, the sound made a few of the Ignean's collapse blood pouring from their ears and nose life's light fading from their eyes. The beast recoiled Isemons smile didn't fade but fury lit his eyes. The beasts wrist plunged into the waters and they formed around it, eventually remaking the lost appendage. Thunderclouds started to form across the sky appearing from the centre of the island, the sky grew dark and the beast moved in again toward the Ignean army, Lexen had given his best against this beast though he did harm, the might of his force could not just keep fighting this relentless assault off.
'Ori we have to retreat.'
Orimae Fionne crouched over the body of one of those effected by the roar of Isemon, snapped her head to Lexen. The word retreat from him was a foreign one, one she had never heard him speak. It took a couple of seconds for her to come around from the shock of it, eventually she slowly nodded in agreement.
Word spread through the ranks of the army quickly, most darted to the forests of alsius that where left standing. Some carried wounded and a handful turned to face the beast, one of these was Lexen.

Lexen drew his blade and donned his shield, faced the enemy head on he raised his blade in challenge with a roar. Next to him stepped up Arjania to his left and Oppervaagheid to his right, then Heldern Warsong a giant of a man, his hulking massiveness and dull features disguised his intelligence and sharp reflexes, he spoke with a deep basso of a voice.
'Lexen I am all for a brave death, but a foolish one is not my style. What are you planning?'
'I'm gonna cut one of that things eyes out.'
Heldern laughed deep and hearty and slapped lexen on the back.
'well I think I can get you there, if I'm given enough power.'
Oppervaagheid sighed and grabbed Heldern's palm, looking at it very closely his eyes darted from line to line letting out a sigh he said.
'I can give you that much power with my empowering spells, but I'm going to have to put a little more in them than usual.'
Arjania punched Heldern lightly on the arm and snapped at the men.
'If you ladies have finished talking, then we have a 20 league tall monster that's about to rip us apart to deal with.'
Lexen nodded and Oppervaagheid sighed Heldern roared and flexed a red glow of flame surrounding him. Lexen started to focus, orange light enveloped his shoulders, Oppervaagheid grasped Heldern closed his eyes placed a hand on his chest, runic writings in light came up around Heldern's feet on the ground. symbols of the bear and of the fox bore him strength. Oppervaagheid wavered and Heldern grabbed Lexen by the arm and leg, he spun with him twice releasing him on the third spin. Lexen flew through the air, Heldern's strength had been amplified to massive heights. Lexen was streaking across almost a mile in distance the behemoths feature less stone face, Arjania called a meteor from the heavens changing its course with her will. She flung it at Lexen the ball of flaming rock quickly caught up hitting Lexen's feet, lending him yet more speed and more flight the beast was recoiling from what was coming but too slow. Lexen pointed his blade and stabbed the beast in the eye slicing into the cold neatly, the stone bore the impact of the meteor and it merely bounced off the stone. Lexen hung there his blade buried to the hilt in the eye of the beast, a strange liquid of black oozed from the wound. Lexen wrenched his blade away from himself opening up the wound the fluid oozed out down the face of the beast, Lexen fell down onto the monsters shoulder faced Isemon, the beast clasped a hand to its eye roaring and Lexen nearly lost his balance he strode carefully toward Isemon who's attention was elsewhere. It was odd for Lexen being so high up and knee deep in water, he could see the cities of each realm beyond their walls. Syrtis a sea of green, Alsius a huge mountain range with small glimpses of the cities and towns and his beloved ignis its cities and towns proud and massive gleaming in the dawn. Isemon spoke.
'Enjoy it whilst it lasts Lexen.... then again you wont live long enough to see it burn.'
