Apocaleptika: The Complete Universe

by Alexa Raven (Author) As posted by the author on Kindle Vella. In the year 2023, by the will of the people, the sprawling metropolis once known as Los Angeles underwent a transformation. Through a momentous and unprecedented event, the city was renamed, emerging as Apocaleptika. Within this city are creatures of legend, Angels, Demons, Fae, Vampires, Shifters, Witches, Enigma and Hybrids.…

[jcollinswrites]

Narmer (m) is a man in his late thirties. He led several successful military campaigns to liberate and unify Egypt. For that, most people think of him as a fierce, unyielding protector of the kingdom, but his unbending attitude has earned him a lot of enemies as well. In his private moments, he tends to be a soft-spoken, gentle person. He's very tall, with a strong, muscular build, due to two decades of harsh military service. He most often shaves his light brown hair to the scalp. He has heavily freckled, golden brown skin with countless of scars, and very dark brown, almost black eyes.

Qenna (selectable gender m/f) seems to be a living enigma with their dubious role in the royal palace, and secretive background. At first glance, they look to be somewhere between thirty and forty, but it's hard to tell. They tend to talk a lot, but never about themselves. Despite their self-destructive tendencies, the king relies on them a lot, and seems to hold them in relatively high regard. They are on the shorter side of average height, with messy, dark hair. Their skin is a deep sandy brown with darker circles around their hazel eyes.

Zaia (selectable gender m/f, genderfluid) is Qenna's guardian spirit with a lightning essence. Like most spirits, Zaia is not overly social, preferring to turn invisible when they don't want being talked to. Zaia and Qenna have a bickering sibling-like relationship. Their exact age is unknown even to them. They are a shape-shifter, but they prefer to appear as a person of lean build, with average height, and caramel brown skin. Their hair reaches the middle of their back in dark, loose curls. Their eyes are matte and dark, entirely devoid of life.

Tabiry (f) is a medjay who used to serve as a royal bodyguard, but she recently gave up the position to be able to spend more time with her family. She is a dependable, hardworking woman in her late twenties. With lean, carefully built muscles, she is a force to be reckoned with. She likes to keep a manicured appearance with colorful makeup that compliments her dark skin, and she wears her long hair in jeweled braids. Off-duty, she doesn't have an intimidating presence with her above average height, but in armor, she's very hard to ignore.

Ahmose (selectable gender m/f) is Narmer's 18 year old child. They are still looking for their own path through life, especially regarding their own future. Ahmose is highly educated, very curious, and a generally cheerful person. They have a good relationship with their father despite the latter's lack of time for them, and they think of Qenna as the member of their family. They are tall in height, have a lean and athletic physique, wavy brown hair, golden skin, and a dazzling smile.

Non-romanceable main characters:

Hudjefa (m) (for priest origin only)

Hudjefa is the man that was… not exactly a father figure for you when you were a child because he's only a decade older than you, but maybe a big brother figure. He taught you most of what you know in your profession, and he also taught you how to be a much better person than what you were set out for before you came to his temple.

Petepihu 'Pihu' (f) (for child of the vizier origin only)

Ah, dear Pihu. Your older sister has always been the bane of your existence. With her delightfully arrogant personality, you two have never quite gotten along. Fortunately, ever since she moved in with her husband, the Theban governor, she has become a lot less present in your life. The distance definitely helped mellow your relationship into what you would call 'tolerance'.

Nedjemut (f) (for captain origin only)

Nedjemut is your biological mother. She is a tough, no-nonsense woman whose attitude left a mark on you as well when you were a child. Fortunately, the warmth she could never give you was compensated by her wife's nurturing and cheerful nature. When Nedjemut lost an arm in the line of duty, she was forced into an early retirement and you inherited her position as Captain of the Theban Guard.

Ramesses 'Sesi' (m) (for thief origin only)

Sesi is your childhood friend, your occasional partner-in-crime, and you two have a sibling-like relationship. You grew up on the same street with a gaggle of other children, yet he is the only one you still keep in contact with. He is around the same age as you, has short brown hair, and dark eyes. He is very thin, although he started getting a bit stronger ever since he started working as a courier.

Garrett x human Reader Her whole body except for her face, neck and hands are covered in tattoos but she does not revel them until the battle of to see if Renesemee is immortal child or not. She does not meet Garrett until the battle of Victoria and her army of newborns. She has long chocolate brown hair and wears circle framed glasses. She is related to Emmett.

❝concealed❞

✭ pairing : garrett x reader

✭ fandom : twilight x reader

✭ summary : (y/n) is the mate of Garrett but doesn’t meet him until some years later, she has tattoos and is the only human relative that Emmett has

✭ twilight masterlist

In the heart of the forest, where shadows danced among ancient trees, (Y/N) moved with a graceful purpose. Her long, chocolate brown hair cascaded down her back, a stark contrast against the muted greens and browns of the woods. Clad in a simple long-sleeved blouse and jeans, she seemed like any other traveler exploring nature's beauty.

Yet, (Y/N) was far from ordinary. Beneath her clothing, her body was adorned with a tapestry of intricate tattoos, each design a testament to her connection with her ancestors and her reverence for the world around her. Her neck and hands bore a rich mosaic of symbols, alluring and mysterious, hinting at a history that was deeper and more complex than her appearance suggested.

For years, she had concealed her body art, careful to hide her inked skin beneath the fabric of long sleeves and high necklines. Her tattoos were her own secret, a personal tapestry of stories and memories that she carried with her, unbeknownst to those around her. And while she was proud of her heritage and the links that bound her to her ancestors, she chose to keep her marks hidden, revealing them only when the time was right.

It was a chilly evening as (Y/N) entered a clearing, her glasses perched on her nose as she surveyed the landscape. In the distance, a shimmering waterfall cascaded down a rocky cliffside, its gentle roar a soothing backdrop to her thoughts. It was a place of solace, a sanctuary where she could lose herself in her contemplations.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting the sky in a tapestry of colors, (Y/N)'s thoughts turned to the rumors that had begun circulating among the supernatural community. Whispers of an immortal child, an enigma that had captured the attention of vampires and shape-shifters alike. She couldn't ignore the call to action, the pull to uncover the truth.

The woods seemed to hum with anticipation as (Y/N) turned to leave the clearing, her footsteps measured as she navigated the path back to her small cabin. The moon cast dappled light through the trees, and in its ethereal glow, (Y/N)'s tattoos seemed to come alive, a hidden masterpiece waiting to be unveiled.

Little did she know that destiny was about to introduce her to someone who would change her life forever. A battle loomed on the horizon, one that would bring her face to face with not only the supernatural forces she had heard whispers of but also a certain nomadic vampire named Garrett.

Weeks turned into months, and (Y/N) found herself drawn deeper into the mysteries that surrounded the supernatural world. She followed leads, listened to whispers, and sought answers to the enigma of the immortal child. Her quiet determination propelled her forward, her tattoos hidden beneath her everyday attire, a part of her that remained known only to herself.

It was during her investigations that the path of destiny intersected with another, as the confrontation with Victoria and her army of newborns loomed on the horizon. The forest crackled with tension as the two sides prepared for battle, and (Y/N) stood among the supernatural allies, her eyes steady behind her circle-framed glasses.

As the battle cries echoed through the air, (Y/N) fought with a fierce determination, her every move a testament to her hidden strength. Her tattoos remained concealed, a canvas of stories that remained shrouded in mystery. It was only when the chaos of battle began to reach its climax that her moment arrived.

Amidst the fray, (Y/N) found herself facing off against a particularly formidable adversary. Victoria's red eyes bore into her, a fierce determination mirrored in her gaze. (Y/N)'s heart raced, her every instinct sharpened by the adrenaline of battle.

With a surge of energy, she unleashed her full strength, the power of her ancestry coursing through her veins. As her opponent's attack faltered, her own strike was swift and precise. And in the wake of the battle, Victoria's threat was finally extinguished.

As the dust settled, the supernatural allies regrouped, their breaths heavy with a mix of exhaustion and relief. It was in this moment that (Y/N) felt a presence at her side. She turned, her eyes meeting those of a nomadic vampire, his hair wild and his gaze unwavering.

"Garrett," she murmured, recognition dawning.

He offered a half-smile, his eyes curious. "You fought well."

"(Y/N)," another voice called from the distance. Turning, she saw her connection to the supernatural world, the Cullens, approaching.

"We owe you our gratitude," Carlisle said, his expression sincere.

Her gaze shifted between the two, her lips quirking into a smile. "It was a battle for all of us."

The moon hung high in the sky, casting a silvery glow on the aftermath of the battle. As (Y/N) stood among the supernatural beings, her tattoos remained hidden beneath her clothing, a silent testament to her own battles and triumphs.

Garrett approached her again, his gaze steady. "You're not like the others."

She raised an eyebrow, her curiosity piqued. "And what makes you say that?"

He smiled, a glint of mischief in his eyes. "I have a keen eye for those who bear secrets, my dear."

A knowing smile tugged at her lips, and for the first time, (Y/N) felt a sense of camaraderie with someone who understood the art of concealment. As the night wore on, stories were exchanged, bonds were formed, and the mysteries of the supernatural world began to unravel in ways (Y/N) had never imagined.

Little by little, as (Y/N)'s world expanded to include new allies and experiences, her tattoos remained a hidden reminder of her unique journey. For with each day that passed, she found herself not only entwined in the supernatural tapestry but also a chapter of her own tale that was just beginning to be written.

Time flowed like a river, carrying (Y/N) into a world she had only glimpsed from the periphery. She walked a delicate line between her newfound supernatural allies and the life she had known as a human. Her bond with Garrett deepened with each passing day, their shared understanding of secrecy and concealment forging a connection that transcended words.

With her tattoos still hidden from view, (Y/N) became an indispensable member of the supernatural community, her skills and determination proving invaluable in times of danger. She joined in their endeavors, fought alongside them in battles that shaped the destiny of their world, and stood shoulder to shoulder with vampires and shape-shifters alike.

As the seasons changed, (Y/N)'s journey of self-discovery continued, each day a testament to her strength and resilience. The Cullens became not only her allies but also her family, and Garrett, her mate, a constant presence at her side. Together, they faced challenges that tested their bonds and celebrated victories that united them in purpose.

One evening, under the stars that glittered like diamonds in the night sky, (Y/N) found herself sitting by a crackling fire, her tattoos illuminated by the dancing flames. She wore a sleeveless top, her decision to reveal her marks a deliberate one. The intricate designs spoke of generations past, of stories whispered through time.

Garrett approached, his gaze drawn to the revealed tattoos. His fingers traced the patterns gently, his touch both tender and reverent. "(Y/N), they're beautiful," he whispered.

She smiled, her heart full as she met his gaze. "They're a part of me, a reminder of my ancestors and the path that led me here."

Garrett's eyes held a mixture of admiration and understanding. "Just as your strength and spirit are a part of you."

In that moment, (Y/N) felt a sense of completeness that she had never known before. Her tattoos were no longer hidden away, but proudly displayed, a testament to her journey, her heritage, and the love that had woven its way into her life.

As the fire crackled and the night stretched before them, (Y/N) and Garrett sat together, their hands intertwined. They were bound by more than just their secrets; they were bound by the shared experience of growth, connection, and the promise of an unknown future that lay ahead. And as they gazed into the flames, they knew that whatever challenges awaited, they would face them together, their stories and tattoos interwoven in a tapestry of love and courage.

Enigma by Alias_InsertName

144,262 words

Where their story begins underground and not separated by bars.

Or Levi and Eren met and fell in love years before the attack on Wall Maria.

The same story, another beginning.

The Mercy of Paradis by gazastripping

The Rumbling is over, and the world outside of Paradis is dead.

Ymir seeks a newfound freedom by etching her soul into Historia’s newborn child. Her exit shatters the Paths, lifting the curse from all remaining shifters, including Eren Jaeger, who hadn't expected his own survival. Ripped out from the carcass of flesh, Eren is taken back to Paradis and imprisoned—possibly for life.

Winter freezes the land, causing uneasiness amongst the island. Having formed a new, aggressive political movement of the state, Jaegerists defend Eren’s right to freedom now that their martyr is no longer facing imminent death at 23. A court date is set later in fall.

Eren does not believe in his own freedom anymore. But when he finds out that Levi’s sole vote against Eren's publicly debated execution holds the most power, he begins to wonder why Levi would speak for him a second time—and whether he regrets the first.

a life time with you by anewkindofthrill

2,450 words

Levi has promised to kill Eren if he goes wild. Yet it would have been nice to spend more time with him.

Repeating History by RosyLilac

253,386 words

Levi had always been a sucker for those gem-like eyes. Those eyes beseeched him to do their bidding; from smuggling literal horseshit for fertilizing his precious garden, to adopting three kids and a teenager without Levi putting the ring on him let alone growing the balls to confess yet ("It's been 18 years, Levi," Farlan reminded him, the long-suffering witness). And the effect didn’t lessen when those eyes were as big as double his head and the owner now a fifteen meter of bone-white, bare-assed, hammer-swinging juggernaut currently begging to be allowed to cross the sodding ocean to meet up with his psycho older nephew and conduct a peace summit with delegations from all over the world.

Perge Sequar, Pari Passu by SinisterAmix, 135,679 words

It’s been six years since our last expedition outside Wall Maria, and the circumstances have changed. We have no idea where our enemies are located, or how far, and the only way to remedy that is to send out scouts to try and remap the surrounding territory as best as we can. Four small units will depart from the Walls and head north, south, east, and west to survey the layout and the titan demographic. It will be vital if we ever want to have a foothold in a world we’re oblivious to,” Erwin continued slowly. His eyes scanned everyone at the table before adding, “And that's why I've specifically requested each and every one of you.”

Or: Levi and Eren are assigned a lengthy cartography mission outside the Walls and pick up on the little things. Eren also does some reckless dumbass shit and Levi just wants to get back in one piece.

The Ship of Freedom by SaZB

176,458 words

When Levi Ackerman boarded the Titanic on April 10, 1912, he expected warm meals, soft pillows, great service and running water. All luxurious things the Titanic boasted it could offer on its journey across the Atlantic Ocean, even for the low-class passengers like Levi.

What Levi did not expect was what could only be described as an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object in the form of a young, snobby 1st class passenger named Eren Jäger. And Levi certainly did not expect falling in love with Eren so quickly it felt like exactly that - falling.

Augenfresser by teke, 75,455 words

Monsters did not like to hide under beds, as his father had told him. No; he found the monster hiding in his closet.

Misguided Ghosts by mandrs

134,792 words

As an outcast at his high school, Eren Jaeger is desperate to belong in a story that doesn’t feel like his own. No matter how hard he tries to fit in, he’s always felt different. But when he sees an ad seeking a guitar player, everything changes.

Through jam sessions and late-night conversations over make-shift meals and Budwisers, Eren begins the journey of unlocking a piece of himself that he never knew existed.

Can you do a Demetri volturi x tall female Human reader

The reader is Jacob's cousin but they do not get along at all. He makes fun at her for being tall. She knows of the supernatural world but does not shift. has martial arts training and does boxing. She is 6ft 5in. She has tan skin and dark brown hair that pass her butt when it's not put up. She is also a retired soldier.

✭ fandom : twilight

✭ summary : (y/n) is Jacob black non shifter cousin but she knows about the supernatural world that now has become her life suddenly she’s thrown into a whirlpool of feelings when she comes the unexpected mate of demetri volturi who just so happens to be a enemy of her family

✭ twilight masterlist

The quiet town of Forks, nestled in the evergreen forests of Washington, had always been a place of intrigue. Unbeknownst to most of its inhabitants, the supernatural world teemed beneath the surface, hidden in the shadows.

And in the midst of this enigma stood (Y/N), a tall and formidable figure at 6 feet 5 inches. She was Jacob Black's older cousin, an imposing presence, and a retired soldier who had seen her share of battles.

The relationship between (Y/N) and Jacob was less than harmonious. They clashed like fire and ice, rarely seeing eye to eye. Jacob's taunts about her height were met with indifference by (Y/N), whose maturity and composure were unshakable.

She had a presence that commanded respect, not through intimidation, but through an air of self-assurance.

While Jacob had embraced his connection to the supernatural world by shifting into a wolf, (Y/N) had found other ways to protect herself.

She had become skilled in martial arts and boxing, talents that she had honed through years of dedication. She reveled in her abilities, never harboring any resentment over her inability to shift like the Quileute wolves.

One fateful day, (Y/N) decided to pay a visit to the Cullen family, a clan of vampires who had chosen a different path by abstaining from human blood.

It wasn't the first time she had crossed paths with them; over time, they had formed a mutual respect for one another. Upon her arrival, the Cullens welcomed her, aware of her unique skills and experiences.

It wasn't long before (Y/N) found herself bonding with Renesmee, the half-human, half-vampire daughter of Edward and Bella.

Renesmee's curiosity and enthusiasm were a stark contrast to (Y/N)'s stoicism, but the two formed an unexpected connection. (Y/N) began giving boxing lessons to the young hybrid, teaching her how to channel her strength in controlled ways.

But as the days went by, the tranquility of their existence was shattered when the Volturi arrived in Forks. The ancient coven, known for their strict adherence to vampire law, had come to ensure that Renesmee posed no threat to their world.

Among them was Demetri, a skilled tracker with a unique ability to find anyone he sought.

As the Volturi made their presence known, (Y/N) was unfazed. She stood her ground, her unyielding confidence a stark contrast to the tension that hung in the air.

It was during this confrontation that Demetri's eyes met (Y/N)'s, and something shifted within him. The world around him seemed to fade as he recognized a connection that transcended his centuries of existence.

In the midst of a potentially volatile encounter, an unexpected bond began to form between (Y/N) and Demetri. Their connection was undeniable, a fusion of strength, experience, and an understanding of the supernatural world that few could comprehend.

And as the days unfolded, (Y/N) found herself entangled in a new chapter of her life, one that held the promise of both danger and unexpected love.

The air crackled with tension as the Volturi delegation confronted the Cullen family. (Y/N) stood by Renesmee's side, her presence unwavering despite the palpable unease that hung in the atmosphere. Demetri's gaze remained fixed on her, his red eyes betraying a curiosity and intensity that he couldn't ignore.

"(Y/N) Black," Aro's melodious voice rang out, drawing her attention. "Such an impressive lineage you have, connected to the Quileute wolves and yet separate from their gift."

"(Y/N)" simply inclined her head, acknowledging his words but not allowing herself to be rattled. She had dealt with her fair share of formidable opponents in her lifetime, and the Volturi were no exception.

As the conversation continued, (Y/N) found herself engaging in a subtle exchange of glances with Demetri. There was an unspoken understanding between them, a recognition of their shared strength and the complexities of the supernatural world. Despite the circumstances, a flicker of something more began to take root.

In the following days, as the tension eased and the Volturi's concerns were allayed, (Y/N) found herself spending more time with Demetri.

Their interactions were punctuated by discussions about their individual histories, the challenges they had faced, and the intricacies of their unique talents. It was a dance of words and emotions that neither of them could entirely resist.

One evening, as the setting sun cast a warm glow over the landscape, (Y/N) and Demetri found themselves alone in the forest. The silence between them was comfortable, unburdened by the need for constant conversation.

And then, as if guided by an unseen force, their hands brushed against each other.

Demetri's gaze met hers, his expression searching, and in that moment, the unspoken connection between them ignited into something undeniable. "You're unlike anyone I've ever met," he admitted, his voice carrying a rare vulnerability.

(Y/N) smiled, a hint of amusement playing at the corners of her lips. "Likewise. I've met my fair share of vampires, but you certainly stand out."

The tension that had once defined their relationship began to shift, replaced by a mutual understanding and a growing fondness. It was as if their differences had ceased to matter, replaced by the undeniable pull they felt toward one another.

As days turned into weeks, (Y/N) continued to divide her time between Renesmee's training and her interactions with the Volturi. Her connection with Demetri deepened, their conversations ranging from the weighty matters of the supernatural world to the simplest of shared moments.

One day, as the sun dipped below the horizon, Demetri took (Y/N) aside. "There's something I want to show you," he said, his eyes holding a mixture of excitement and uncertainty.

Guiding her to a secluded part of the forest, Demetri extended his hand, palm up. "Close your eyes," he instructed, his voice gentle.

(Y/N) complied, feeling a faint pulse of energy as Demetri's power intertwined with her own. In her mind's eye, images began to surface: moments from his past, fragments of his experiences, and the profound loneliness that had been his constant companion.

When (Y/N) opened her eyes, she met Demetri's gaze, a newfound understanding passing between them. It was a gesture of vulnerability and trust, a shared connection that transcended the supernatural world they inhabited.

“Where’d that come from?”

“Renesmee, learnt how to “give people” her power for a few minutes to allow them to share what they see and feel. It was amazing when she first shown me and I knew I had to ask her if I could use it just this once.” Demetri explains.

Their journey had taken an unexpected turn, guiding them toward a connection neither of them had foreseen. In the heart of the supernatural realm, (Y/N) and Demetri found themselves drawn together, their fates intertwined in ways that defied the boundaries of their respective histories.

[monsterlovinghours]

What about the Dons in DnD world? 🤔

I'm sure some are really easy but fell free to do an in depth analysis on their role and backstory. (The easiest one would definitely be Scarabee 👀)

Ooooohh. Since I'm on my phone and typing out long things is hard I prooooobably won't go too in-depth but I invite y'all to reblog with your own thoughts and opinions!

-A while back @realmonsterboyhours drew Bajo as a tiefling and now I can't see him as anything else. He's also bard coded, he's definitely got the charisma for it--he also plays that sexy flamenco guitar.

-You're absolutely right though, Scarabee is a no-brainer. Obviously a warlock, he's got a patron already part of his lore. Has just about every spell or potion ingredient you could think of up in his attic. As for race, I could see a half-elf. Like, there's something of the fey about him, but he's been human or at least knows what being human is like.

-Zhuk is an orc and I'll die on this hill. He's big, he's beefy, he's large and in charge. I'm also going with barbarian, based solely again on art drawn by @realmonsterboyhours of him holding a sledgehammer. Imagine big-ass swords in those meathooks of his. Or a giant axe. Or just picture him saying "fuck it" and beating someone to death with his bare hands. Look at me and tell me he wouldn't do it. Not because he isn't civilized or intelligent but because someone's gotta do the dirty work.

-Cia is an elf druid. I mean, *look at him.* Mans is about as fey coded as you can get and looks like he didn't see something that wasn't a tree until he hit triple digits. If you took the daddy energy out of Halsin, you'd be left with Ciaróg. Also, he helps his tiefling husband with his rose gardens and how cute is that??

-Gio is an enigma. He's absolutely an eldritch horror, but just for funsies, I think he'd take the form of a drow. After a couple of centuries he might change his form, but drow is his favorite. He has a lot of arcane knowledge, things that beings of this plane shouldn't know, so he just tells everyone he's a wizard. Did a lot of studying, you know.

-Saft a half-orc artificer. He's a bit of a big boi, sturdy and thick, but despite his size and his brutish heritage, he can tinker with the most delicate mechanisms. Mostly uses his knowledge to make explosives and weapons; incendiary devices are his favorite. Has built so many guns.

-Bjalla is a vampire. "hhhh but what's his race" LISTEN HERE I'M NOT CHANGING WHAT'S ALREADY PERFECT. Of course he's a fucking vampire, what else would he be? And yes, I believe he would be a rogue. No, I am not saying this because I'm also madly in love with Astarion. There will be no further questions. He's canonically an assassin, you can't tell me he wouldn't be a rogue. Yes, I have a type, leave me alone dammit.

-Mozzie gives me dwarf energy, though his size doesn't quite gel with that idea. Maybe an earth genasi? Something earthy idk. He also gives ranger vibes, someone who travels a bunch. Though in this realm of high fantasy, since internet isn't a thing, he deals in information. He can gather intel, spread rumors, manipulate the flow of knowledge from one person or place to another.

-Lag is a firbolg. He's big, he's fluffy, he's a big ol sweetheart who couldn't hurt a soul if he tried. Also probably a druid, though he's less concerned with plant life and more with animals. He's the fauna to Cia's flora.

-Devlin is a shifter. Like, it's obvious, right? Clearly he's a shifter, he's werewolf coded. And honestly, I think he's our cleric, just because I had the idea that the deity he worships is so ancient and he's been cursed so many times, he's actually forgotten its name. But also how funny would it be to have a cleric that bestows blessings and makes things holy by literally absorbing the curses and evil magic. It's fine, he's fine, it doesn't hurt! Not anymore, anyway.

Muses of Past & Future

🌍~ Humanity, ever rising and falling like tides across shore. Yet water waned rock over time, as it expanded territory. How fascinating it was, to witness them reach heights many of their ancestors could only dream about, or decline into new lows they could not fathom. Throughout all her centuries of living one fact of them remained constant- that man was both a marvelous and monstrous species.

Alkebu-lan was a creature which existed outside of their perception of time; an almost entirely unknown variable to this generation now. She was an observer of them, keen on carefully remaining an enigma to all mortal and immortal alike. Unlike the two, most infamous individuals of her kind, mystic monkey was content to have history forget visage and exploits. Yet the roots of deep, muddled past would occasionally quiver and call, moving concealed simian to action.

On a building's rooftop in Megapolis, did a portal of purest white, encircled with crimson open, allowing a seemingly human woman to slip through with ease. The stench of a busy, modern city overwhelming once pure, clean air she took in, dark-skinned one wasted no time to scan area. Alkebu-lan would not say she was in a rush, but shape-shifter often found any attention drawn towards her troublesome and if certain creatures were encountered countless questions would be inquired. Golden optics now illuminating with a red hue, searched the port thoroughly until finally stopping at one crate being unloaded from a ship. Twirling her finger once, previous portal closed and a smaller one next to hand appeared. Reaching in did palm find itself inside wooden box as it was being hulled. For a moment she felt around it, pulling out various and valuable items. At last, disguised baboon found what she was looking for and brought out a book with an ominous cover- its leather bindings decorated with carvings of skulls.

"There you are. Mortals really should know better, than to mess with your ilk. But, I suppose I cannot fault a new generation for their lack of understanding," she sighed. Abruptly, did the communication device in ear ring. Tossing the book of necromancy back into another portal behind her, her once stoic countenance portrayed a smile.

"Beatrix! Do not tell me I am missed already~"

A woman's voice came on the other side, her tone clearly fearful but restrained. "Alkebu-lan, would you mind explaining why there is a... unicorn... goat thing in my office?"

"Ah, that would be an abada," shape-shifter replied, scratching her chin. "Hmm, stay there. I will be right over." Hanging up and falling back through another portal, celestial primate soared across an empty, white expanse for some minutes before her head popped up out of floor behind a mortal, dark-skinned woman.

"So, is the abada still here?" she chirped, evoking a surprised jump from the human.

Bobby returned before Buck could reply. “Nice work, fellas. Glad you both made it out of there.”   “Guy’s a professional, sir. Was never really worried,” Buck smiled.   He could see Bobby about to nag Buck about the honorifics when the grenade detonated, still in the ambulance.

One World, Two Planes of Existence  

Gather around, young souls, and let me weave a tale that will stir the depths of your spirits. Behold, the saga of Atani Palurin and Rauko Palurin, lands forged by the divine hands of The All Great One.

Once, these lands were kept apart by an impenetrable barrier, a veil that denied passage even to the most skilled wielders of magic. It was a separation that held sway over the inhabitants, an enigma that whispered of mystery and forbidden secrets.

In this realm, The All Great One sculpted two twin goddesses, Shayla and Sai, each destined to reign over their respective dominions. Shayla, the paragon of benevolence, held the throne of Rauko, her gentle sway ensnaring the hearts of dragons, vampires, and elven folk. Sai, the harbinger of chaos, resided in Atani, where humans, wereanimals, and demons paid homage to her capricious whims.

To avert the clash between these divine siblings, The All Great One cast a formidable barrier, a shield that sealed the goddesses and their followers from crossing into one another's realm. But as time passed, the omnipotent presence of The All Great One waned, weakening the very fabric of this ethereal wall.

As the barrier's strength waned, the long-separated sisters caught sight of each other once more. The fears that haunted The All Great One's heart became manifest as the goddesses clashed, their celestial fury igniting a cataclysmic war. Years turned to decades as the battlefield ran red with the spilled blood of their followers, until the fateful day when they vanished without a trace, leaving behind a shattered barrier and five portals that bridged the realms.

Two hundred years have since stained the annals of history, and yet the brutal symphony of carnage continues to echo through the land. This world has become a savage playground where survival is etched in the code of existence, where the choices are stark: kill or be killed.

So, dear children, immerse yourselves in this harrowing tale. Witness the clash of gods, the clash of worlds, and the clash of souls. For in the crucible of this conflict lies the untold secrets and the fates yet to be revealed. Are you prepared to navigate the treacherous paths that lie ahead and carve your destiny amidst the chaos?
