Kat stood alone with Lucast, who seemed ready, a swirling ball of water surrounding him. The chasm he had filled in places, allowing the molten warriors to cross slowly. He was positioned for a fight, but Kat did not think he would need to be. He had shown her how powerful she could be and that vision, oh that terrible vision, had given her an idea. She could feel a steadiness within her, a calm before the storm but this would be her storm. As she lifted her hand, clouds rumbled and roared above her. She could feel the particles of ice in the sky and the static charge between them. As she moved the clouds, the more they rubbed and the greater her control became. Thunder echoed above her and like a calling, the warriors advanced. Bright flashes suddenly lit up the landscape and Kat felt the hairs on her arms rise. The heavens were charged and with it, her feet lifted off the ground. She rose higher and higher, suspended by her power over the sky. She was lit by the last rays of a red sun as it set below the smoke cloud and then it vanished and all that could be seen were the sparks that shined around Kat’s body. This was the pinnacle of her excellence and as she struck her first enemy, she was the most beautiful thing in the world.

The Sundering of the Two Moons

Not much is known about the worlds beyond our solar system, the worlds that until recently we did not know existed. Chance has allowed me to study in the great libraries of Ilmgral, to see its vast history that Earth has now become a part of. For that reason, I have created this story, to show you the long tapestry of events that would one day bring universal war to Earth. In this volume I cover the early years of the Ilma, from the creation of the universe to the most tragic event of those ancient years. From the libraries of Dragor, I have translated these tales, so that we may better understand the role that has come to us.

Foreword

This universe is just one in a long line of failed universes. In those before, beings beyond our comprehension played with the fabric of reality and manipulated the lives of those they created. Learning from their creations love, jealousy and eventually a hate that sparked wars between them until they ripped the universe apart and the cycle started again.

In Besan Gretan, the realm that is, Gadrika, God of life, hearing the echoes of those before him, decided to give select mortals the powers to level the playing field so that this universe could reach its chosen path.
The Ilma, so majestic in form and spirit, were chosen custodians of the universe but greed comes often to those already with power. Dark events drove them from their righteous path and the Graul, the servant race, were gifted powers so that the Ilma did not become tyrants in their toppling of the Gods.
Empires were split at this decision and the Ilma, now spread far across the stars, battled for dominion over the universe. Peace came at a heavy price and in that ruin, the Ilma sort for a chance to turn themselves back to a proper path. They sort for a new power, one not foretold by the Gods and in their search, they found Humanity. A love for mankind came swiftly to the Ilma, who saw in humanity the true custodians of the universe. Through experiments they tried to merge their DNA with ours, to give the powers bestowed upon them to the people of Earth. Then they departed, to allow Humanity to thrive and waited for any sign of their success…

Stand behind me.” Nicole ordered to the others. She had her hand raised, feeling into the rock beneath their feet. All around them were voids. The mountain side was full of deep crevices and caves. Suddenly she thrust her hand into the ground, and it was like she had cracked ice on a lake. The earth in front of her fell away and revealed a deep chasm, full now of tree and warrior alike. The warriors that remained yelled and Nicole stepped backwards, holding a hand that was clearly bruised.
Price leapt towards the fissure and charged at two enemies stood precariously close to its edge. He blocked a blow of the first while kicking out with his legs. It teetered and then fell. He was on the second warrior in an instant. His vine slicing at its legs. As he rounded back on it, two slices to its face sent the warrior falling into the chasm beneath.

Excerpt from vengeance of the Gods

With the initial structure conquered, Kat led the charge. One of the big brutes rounded on her, its swing she blocked with the rod in her right hand while the left went into the beast’s stomach. She laughed as it flew across the room, knocking over the machine gunner and buying the human soldiers a valuable reprieve.
Just two short minutes after the assault had started, only two Murka’s remained. The rest were dead, dying, or incapacitated. Some by the clever work of Price, others by David’s deadly precision and even a couple were crumpled by the force of Sam’s gift but most had been taken down by Kat and she eyed the other two viciously, “Ice.” She yelled.
Sam’s hands flew forward, and the cold metal floor began to shimmer with the thin covering of ice. Kat felt her feet lose balance, so she fell to her knee’s in a dive and allowed her momentum to carry her forward. The Murka’s tried to step toward her but their thick boots could find no grip and so they were falling as Kat approached. As she slid past, each felt the full force of one of her rods in the gut and the last two remaining Murka’s fell. Kat stopped herself against the far wall and with careful feet she stood up.

Character Profile – Krun Bitaran

Name: Krun Bitaran
Age: N/A
Species: Vassal
First Appearance: The History of Ilmgral: Book One. The Sundering of the Two Moons		Power: Krun, son of Krim, is the Vassal of the forests and the creatures that live in them. Krun could move forests and called all manner of birds and beasts to him. From his power came the Krun-ilma, who live in the great forests of the world.

Appearance: Like the Krun-ilma, Krun’s skin carries earthy hints. He has no red scales but root like veins protrude from the skin around the arms and under the eyes. Evergreen leaves grew in his brown hair also.
Backstory: Krun was born in the kingdom of Scaraden but was ferreted away after the death of his mother. As he came into his lordship, he took his people into the great wood and formed their, the Krun-Ilma. Until his fathers spirit would call him to war. Story Excerpt: This great army crossed the sea and like his father, he was nearly unchallenged in the land of Scaraden, and the small host sent against them was swiftly swept aside. Soon the host came to the fortress of Agralita and many of the soldiers became sickened as they drank from the corrupted streams or ate the food of that land. All had fallen under Agral’s sickness and only the power of Mina kept those affected in the lands of the living.
Long the siege lasted and during it, Krun brought great trees that sucked the poison from the streams and lands, and the corpses of those trees decayed swiftly and gave fresh soil for the growing of many flowers that Mina cultivated.
Soon Agral’s power began to waver and the fear of him lessened and the doors of Agralita were opened. Krun came then to the chamber of a dark tower where his uncle lay in rest and from a scabbard, he drew a knife. Sharply the eyes of Agral opened and he thrust with his power, but it was weak and Krun was young, come now into full manhood and his power surrounded Agral.
“Yield.” Krun ordered, “And I may find mercy in my heart for the killing of my mother and father.”
Agral laughed, and the sound was sickeningly seductive, “Mercy.” He spat, “You are like your father, weak, destined to stay in the line painted for you by the Gods. The Ilma are to be a higher power, custodians of the universe, under no dominion of the Gods.”
Like a cornered animal Agral struck but the blade he had concealed, caught meekly in Krun’s armour of thick bark, “You have no power now that can overcome that of Gadrika’s.” Krun said in a deep and commanding voice, “Now Kneel.”
Then Agral knelt and in his bow, he revealed that he was garbed in thick chain mail, even while he slept and at his waist was a sword hilt, but the blade had been broken from it. Krun then drew his own blade and anger overcame his sense, but his hand was stayed by a deep voice.

Excerpt from Knowledge Lost

Before Tom could stop her, she dived into the pool and delicately glided to the far side. Using the water as a base, she leapt out in front of the warriors, the moisture flying off her and hanging as little droplets in the air that she sent flying towards her enemies. The droplets sizzled on impact but were nothing more than a minor hinderance. She landed on the edge of the pool and in a graceful movement, her hands lifted. Muscles strained on her arms as they connected with the pool water. It began to lift and veins in her arms popped at the weight of all that water. Some warriors ran away, others tried to move towards her but they knew their doom was near. The water lifted until the pool was empty and as Sophie’s strength began to ebb, she threw her arms forward. Tom lifted his own hand and added his weight so that the wave crashed past Sophie, turning the first two warriors into statues and then it carried on, moving through the kitchen with frightening speed, destroying every molten warrior it touched. The wave reached towards the kitchen before finally faltering and silence filled the noon day.
Sophie stood there, arms hanging limply by her side. As she turned, Tom couldn’t help but laugh. Wet hair clung to a face that was red from the strain. She shivered un-controllably, with the sun barely able to pierce the thick smog from the volcano.

Excerpt from vengeance of the Gods

“What’s up?” Sam asked looking back at him.
“I don’t know.” Price muttered, searching the trees for something, “I just don’t feel right.”
Sam looked around, “Stop messing okay.”
Some birds flew up from a tree and Price relaxed, wondering if that was what he had sensed, “I’m probably just being paranoid.”
He was about to take a step again when his eyes widened. He pushed Sam into the undergrowth as a shot echoed in the alley way and sparks shot across the pavement. Price shoved Sam to the floor and he connected to the trees. They seemed to rustle and there was a moan as a branch broke and a figure fell to the floor, landing with a dull thud. With a turn it stood nimbly and even though they were concealed in the undergrowth, it was looking right at them. A gun clattered to the floor between them and Price looked from the grey skinned, long armed creature, to the weapon that was like none he had ever seen.
Price charged for the gun and his finger slipped to the panic button. Sam was behind him, but the creature was quicker. It dived on Price and swept him away with a powerful swing of his arm. Sam was braver than he had expected, and he grasped the creature’s arm just as it wrapped around the gun. The creature gave a primeval yell before jumping back. It stared down at the silhouette of Sam’s hand; his arm burnt by the freeze. Sam kicked the large gun away but squealed as the creature pulled from its belt, a long-curved blade.
Price was on his feet again and he charged, pulling for a root. Before one could break the surface, a boot caught him painfully in the stomach and the Murka slashed with its good arm to keep Sam away.
It turned again on Price, and Sam tried to kick out but the figure turned, caught his boot and span him to the floor. The knife was coming down for him before Sam could stop it, but a root snatched at the creature’s wrist. Price was pulling with all his might but the muscular arm of the Murka was slowly getting closer to Sam’s chest. Its numb, frozen arm grabbed at Sam’s neck and he tried desperately to breathe. In a last desperate measure, his hand went to the Murka’s face. Ice glistened on his fingers and the Murka screamed. The knife fell, grazing Sam’s cheek and the distraction allowed Price to pull the Murka away from him. Regaining itself, it span, grabbed the gun and smiled at them. More roots were bursting from the ground and Sam’s hands were sparkling with the ice that covered them.
With startling speed, two knives flew at Price and Sam and they ducked to avoid them. When they looked up, the Murka was charging away with a frightening turn of pace. They chased it as far as they could until it disappeared into a spinney at the end of a long field.
