《Duorbis: Colission of the worlds》Chapter 9: Savor

“Finally,” Olen boasted proudly.
Abreim shouted with fear:
The walls… the walls have fallen!
Torck gathered all his strength and gave the order:
-Come on, with me!
Hammer Team coordinated the huge pieces of rock into two pieces and gave them a dome shape again. Torck took a deep breath, and as he took it, he fell on his knees. Anwir was lying on the floor, cut into two pieces. The sorcerers took advantage of this tiny opportunity and killed one of their best warlocks, and several people from the team were seriously injured. Torck said, " I'm going to get out of here, even if it's the last thing I'm going to do." He stood up, grasped the spear he was holding tightly in his hand.
-Now you will advance the dome on my signal. Hasn't Koresh woken up yet? Damn it, bring him here now.
Koresh was staring at Torck, half unconscious, and all that came out of his mouth was “Com…der…"
-Abreim, wake him up, hurry.
Abreim sobered Koresh with a powerful spell. Koresh, whining with pain, was cursing and trying to give meaning to the surrounding corpses.
-Now listen to me carefull, I have one last order for you. Find me that object, be quick, we're all about to die.
Meanwhile, sorcery continued to rain down on the dome, but the stone warlocks were more cautious. They were even transferring all their powers to the wall. Even Olen's magic arrows were bouncing off the wall in a controlled way. They were magically removing it from the stone immediately after the arrow hit. But some of his arrows were so powerful that they opened slits, and the sorcerers who had the opportunity to do so tried to penetrate through these small gaps. Fortunately, the Hammer Team was repairing the wall with all their might, and if anyone managed to get in from the sorcerers, they were finishing them off inside the dome. Torck called out one last time:

-Koresh, where is this item? Abreim, calm him down.
Abreim gave Koresh a huge slap, and even Torck was stunned by the slap for a few seconds.
-I meant that you use magic.
Koresh tried to focus, comprehended the order and approved it. Now it was time to sense the place of sorcery. It was not at all difficult to sense the heavy painful sorcery. It was so strong, he immediately understood where it was.
- “I found it, Sir” he looked delightedly into Torck's eyes.
-Why didn't you faint this time?
- No matter what kind of magic or sorcery it is, I just need to sense it once. I save it in my memory and configure it. As you can see, I'm immune.
-Which way do we have to go now?
-We'll get out of here, he said, pointing north with his hand.
At that time, Abreim joined the conversation
-Are you out of your mind? How do we get out of here? They'll tear us all apart before we even take a step forward.
-Everybody, get ready, we're going to turn this half-dome into a giant ball. We're getting out of here, we won't even see the sorcerers' faces.
Hammer Team was starting to focus on their tasks again. Just when they thought that the enemy had dispersed, they were reuniting again, agreeing to even face death together.
Olen looked at the reassembled sphere and pitifully said, “To be honest, I pity them, such a magnificent team is cornered in this way, it's just helpless.” It was difficult to describe the damage left by Olen's destructive arrows from the thrown spells. The soldiers had cracked this huge sphere many times, but they had closed the wall before he could shoot the insiders or infiltrate it. “Listen to me, we have two options right now, either we keep attacking until they get tired and the wall falls down, or we fill the inside of that dome with Savor sorcery.” One of the soldiers next to Olen said, “Sir, why don't we use explosives, a few explosive potions, this will be done, or we can heat it up outside and cook them there.” Olen shouted angrily, “Do you think I'm an idiot because I don't see two other obvious options. First, the facility has already been damaged too much to break up from the ground where they are currently standing, this building cannot handle any more explosions. The second thing is that the idea of heating will do nothing but waste time, I'm sure there are several ice warlocks among them who easily solve the heat problem. Now is there another genius who wants to tell me their ideas, or let's see if we can do our job.” Olen made his decision under the gaze of silence and nervous soldiers, “We’ll use Savor sorcery.”

The Savor sorcery was found by one of the genius healers of ancient times. He set out for a sorcery that was auspicious, with a painful death by putting to sleep soldiers who were injured and had no chance of survival, but he found a powerful manipulated sorcery that showed painful nightmares. Breathing this sorcery, the person's perception of reality deteriorates, he perceives everything around him as if it were a threat. As a result of this, they turn into people who attack everything they see. Over time, warlocks took measures against this threat, for example, they developed gas masks, discovered immune spells, however, they could not fully counter this sorcery. On Olen's orders, 5 soldiers specializing in Savor sorcery were getting ready. Preparing the Savor sorcery is like playing with a green ball in his hand, the sorcerer feeds it with his hand holding the wand while maintaining the green ball with one hand. After a few minutes of preparation, the green ball is ready to be thrown. The Savor sorcery, exploding where it falls, forms a dark green gas cloud. Olen said, “Throw the Savor sorcery with my signal” to the soldiers next to him, while the crossfire was continuing, the sorcerers were trying to smash the wall with their ranged attacks, but they couldn't go beyond a few cracks. Olen stretched his bow well to form a giant arrow, the arrow was like a big spear. Olen said a few sorcery words then shouted “Starfire!” and shot the arrow. The arrow pierced the dome and created a small slit whereupon those who prepared the Savor sorcery thought they should take action but one of Olen deputies ordered them to wait. The arrow that Olen shot suddenly directed himself in the direction of the wall. Olen gave a sign with his hand and the arrow moved like it had gained consciousness. It surpassed the first wall of the giant dome and it exploded. The hammer team was surprised. Olen gave the signal that the soldiers should approach the dome thoroughly and enter through those tiny gaps. First the exploding ball of light blinded the entire Hammer team, and then they poisoned the entire team with the Savor sorcery.
Torck was stunned by the effect of the exploding light ball but recovered quickly. As soon as he saw that the Savor sorcery was thrown in, he tried to cast a resistance spell on himself, but halfway through, he had already inhaled the gas. The entire Hammer team is breathing poison gas, and with the anxiety and stress of knowing that they will soon become, some of them killed themselves because they didn’t want to kill their own friends, and Torck understood that their end was coming, this was going to be the end of Hammer team.

Contact Through Voided Lenses
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Edit: Fixed some inaccuracies in the synopsis. The void is a vast unexplored ocean filled with various wonders and dangers all waiting to be explored by those brave enough to travel and record. Many souls do find themselves brave enough to face the vast distances, the various risks to personal safety and do the hundreds of task required on a craft. However, at times the void itself can be boring with absolutely nothing to do but as time pass and more and better technology is reached, things got better. The various trips got faster, communications became faster than light and you can be home to see your loved ones after only months now. Through the various planets whether rocky or gaseous, the various stars whether small or giant, the various systems both eerily similar or completely alien. As part of an expeditionary scientific exploratory survey craft, one could see that the void offers no reprieve from all the discoveries and wonders. At times, it can feel empty and silent where no soul can hear you scream and at others it can be overwhelming with sudden phenomenon that can overwhelm the brightest of minds. The void itself is a truly fascinating ocean where one must chart the various islands or drown in its deadly tidal waves. But the question still remained no matter how you try to hide it in of itself… is there truly other intelligent life out there? Are we alone in this ocean? Those very questions still haunt the minds of those on the crafts themselves as they brace for every jump ready for the unknown and the known. Many would try to explain that yes there is other intelligent life out there whilst other still say no after 2 centuries of continuous flight out of the home system. Still, those are questions that bury deep in the minds of the crew and those at home as the voidcraft jumps to a system with a single yellow star orbited by 8 other planets with one crowning blue jewel being the 3rd closest with its 5 oceans and 7 continents, a planet called Dirt which is inhabited by a primitive species called Humanity. Hello, author here and this is my newest dive into writing particularly for the Writathon currently in progress being my first one. I hope you give me story a try but in case you still want more information on what you’re getting into, below are some pointers about the story itself. First Contact: CTVL is a story about a first contact scenario between an advanced alien civilization and a slightly more advanced modern day humanity on their planet called Dirt. Characters: The story will take place mainly on the perspective of the alien visitors themselves though there will be human POV characters who will show how the rest of humanity react through media and forums. Action: It won’t be an actual alien invasion but you have to see for yourself how well first contact went. Sci-Fi: I will be very forward here, I WILL bend the rules of physics in order to add in parts of the plot and there WILL be parts that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Theme: It will be a brooding story talking about the futility of pe… Just kidding, it’s mostly wholesome stuff to be honest here. Alien: The aliens themselves will… actually why should I tell you, you have to go and read it to find out what the aliens are though I will draw a few things here and there to aid in the process. Extra tidbit: If you are a grammar nazi or someone who really wants a realistic scifi story... this story is probably not for you at all. Anyways, that’s pretty much all I can say before I spoil something major of the plot itself, the story is slice of life so make sure that type of story is what you like because I am terrible with anything else as I found out, anyways, have a good time everyone and good luck to the other Writathon participants.
