Episode Nine – The Scarred Warrior Stands Alone

Manifest: A Shattered Future  Episode Nine – The Scarred Warrior Stands Alone   “This isn’t right! Aren’t there other soldiers? Can’t the Elder monk face the enemy himself?” Elena shouted as she hobbled through the crowd. Altair could hear her frantic voice pierce the conversations of nervous onlookers, and she practically jogged on her cane and her leg. Though he did not look over his shoulder, he could hear people scramble out of her way. He could hear her unstable footsteps scurry after him, but he raced on without regard to her or the people who cowered in fear. Instead, he focused only on the towering ice wall which parted the courtyard. He could feel icy flakes surf the breeze which carried from the frigid behemoth. Altair readied the blue monolith in his hand as he raced toward his enemy. “The Elder and the soldiers are our palisade – not our soldiers.

She had nothing to protect her from her enemy’s Quicksand Carrier, and her Princess of Swirling Cinders stood helplessly to the side. Chains still bound its ability to cast curses, leaving her defenseless. Her curly hair fluttered as she shook, but she fought through her fear to watch her opponent’s move. The monk struck his red monolith with a miniature hammer, and then he set the weapon on the ground. In mere moments, a valiant warrior materialized in a shower of red light.                “He doesn’t look like another earth sorcerer,” Elena muttered.         ...

Manifest: A Shattered Future   Episode Seven: Showdown in the Monastery   “Please do not take my words as judgment, but there are countless concerned citizens since the fall of this city. Now that it is too late for Aegea to save itself, its people cling to a hope that they cannot fulfill. I mean no disrespect, but is there anything that differentiates you from the others who have come asking for more power?” the monk asked both firmly but politely. While Altair watched with a gaze of intrigue from the corner of the room, Elena took a moment to contemplate her response. The white walls of the monastery room amplified every word the monk spoke, and even Elena’s anxious tremor created an audible clack. She balanced a portion of her weight on the sturdy cane in her right hand. Countless words and reasons argued in her head, striving to earn her attention, but all of them seemed wrong. Even the truth would deter the monk from taking her seriously. He stared expectantly at he...
