“It seems so” said Batner. “This child is one of us, even more than that we can imagine.”.
“Boss, the Gradfir is packed and ready!” yelled one of the warriors.
“Whahaha! This is the Dwarven mentality! Great work, let’s go back!” batner replied

While the Black Mithril squad made their way home with more than just a beast, something changed very, very deep within the mountains.
An ancient altar stood in a dusty, silent chamber. Murals depicting the story of the Dwarves, from birth to now are on the walls in the huge chamber. This place has been the Dwarven Holy Ground since the Banishment, and the Keeper, which has the highest authority within the Dwarven Kingdom, guards this place.
Softly but surely, a sound as if chiseling rock was heard from within the chamber. The Keeper first did not notice, but after a short while, was shocked. He immediately opened the heavy black mithril doors and ran inside. There, he stood perplexed.
“Fate has not abandoned us! A change! Oh bless the mountain king!”
The always silent, peaceful keeper was so excited that he yelled his thoughts out loud. Immediately heavy armored guards came sprinting, but when they saw the Keeper on one knee with his right arm across his chest, they did not hesitate to do the same.
There they sat, two of the three Unfathomables, silently, for a day straight. They were hungry, thirsty and tired, but they did not dare rise. Only when the chiseling sound stopped, did the Keeper raise his head while the heavy armored guards stayed just as still as before.
A crimson hammer and chisel were slowly floating back to the altar, radiating a crimson light. Only 5 minutes after the hammer and chisel landed on the altar dared the Keeper to slowly stand up, while the heavy armored guards still kneeling with no dissatisfaction in their hearts.

The keeper slowly walked, with his left hand on the wall, clockwise starting from the entrance. He recipted an ancient script in an even more ancient language while paying his utmost respect to his Ancestor. When he reached the newly chiseled mural and his hand went over it, the mural moved backwards and opened a passage.
The Keeper was shocked, since in his many long years, he only saw this happen once before.
“The mountain king return” whispered the Keeper in the ancient language. And while the sound was too soft to be normally heard, the guards were absolutely shocked. They were so shocked that their heart skipped a few beats before vigorously pumping after, as if filled with the essence of vitality. Even during this, the guards stayed absolutely still.
“Panyr, rise and follow me inside.” said the Keeper to the leader of the guards.
“Yes, Keeper.”
Together they went in, and when they came out, they knelt to the altar and swore a Crimson Oath. Also known as the Oath of Eternity, an oath that even the eternal and mysterious Time can’t break.

BODY&SHADOW
AN ILLUSTRATED NOVEL • UPDATES TUESDAY AND FRIDAY In a time before living memory, the King Dragon of the Void watched the world and realized there was a crack. He realized that humanity was destroying the rock upon which they lived; they leaked life’s code into the churning chaos. At first the change was imperceptible: nanites overtook microorganisms, bacteria, viruses, amoebas. Insects became increasingly inorganic; birds and lizards followed soon after. Even humans were infected by their own advances, cell by cell, till there was not a person left on earth who wasn’t at least part synthetic, the product of a prior generation’s carelessness. The world’s population was ravaged by mechanical viruses with no vaccines; they were mercilessly overtaken by bacteria that knew no death. Soon, most of the planet was empty and only a handful remained who remembered the hedonist realm they came from; only a few were left who remembered what the world looked like when their buildings touched the sky. The King Dragon of the Void watched the rock turn. He watched humans cower as the Old World fell down around them; watched their great monuments crumble into dusty ruins; watched their codes become precious, ancient gem memories forged under the crushing pressure of so many fallen stones. The world has spun many times around the sun since chaos swallowed man whole. It is a simpler time than the one that died out, but the people now are not immune to the folly of the people before. There is old code everywhere: in the water, in the air, in the trees. The heart of man has been replaced by power cores, many of which are hard-coded with preternatural abilities—when they die, an esoteric mountain sect collects their cores and stores them in their hollow mountain home to preserve the sanctity and dignity of human death. They’ve learned to harness artifacts of the old world, gemstones full of codes their nanite infused bodies can parse as spells imbuing their users with great power; they inlay them into their bodies, into their skins, connected to their cores by copper conduit and gold tracers; they dress themselves in tattoos to advertise their prowess; they battle for relics in arenas, fight for them in the open world wherever they are found. The King Dragon of the Void watches the rock turn and wonders: when will this hunger finally make the rock stop spinning? WELCOME TO FANXING CITY … Twenty-five years ago, Fanxing City and the surrounding lands were commanded by the mad King Zao Beiguan. For many years, the King hoarded wealth, artifacts, food; he demanded tribute from a people already taxed to the edges of their existence and expected they be happy with their circumstances. Noncompliance was often punished harshly, bodies displayed proudly on Fanxing’s streets as a warning, from the city gates to the Zao palace’s golden doors. The youths of several prominent clans came together to overthrow the tyrant and made names for themselves as legendary heroes across the land: Tian, Ren, Feng, Gui, Ma, and Zhenxi. Even wanderers from the Luanshi sect descended from Yunji mountain to aid the rebellion. When the dust settled after three years, Tian Yunyong ascended the throne of Fanxing and swore to honour his slain father’s memory, and has maintained Fanxing’s peace with generosity and mercy where fear and cruelty once reigned.
