The sword and the fork



Exel was trailed by his brother and new found camp of Cenders. New hope city was in ashes from the failed INNovaton take over. Thats atleast what Exel believes. The walked for days. Exel’s powers came with one crippling side effect, his love for all breathings subsided while a non-sexual version of necrophilia formed with in his heart. They finally came upon the fork. a town built on a old road fork. Most of the cenders split up to find supplies or love, the affectionless kind. Exel and his brother took to the local pub. like most around the 'unbuilt' areas, the pub was populated with scarcely plaid ladies and drunk men. Exel and Paze where not expectedly denied service of food. However they could easily discuss battle plans and other topics outside the ears of INNovaton with the sounds covered by bar fights and whooping. "..we can't just scamper around like ants, we need a base of operation.." said Paze throughout the sound. Exel looked out the window. "and just tell me where we can find a base of operations with a 50,000 note bounty on my head" he said pointing out the window as a holoprojector. showing a flip screen of cenders with Exel’s face beside them all. "50,000 notes" said a man in the booth next to them. He lift his head to reveal an atronomon his trench coat having a dark green painted clickback sticking out of his pocket. He wasn't a normal bot you would see in the dust. His eyes were green like the clover on the sign. He stuck out his gloved hand "names GOCK59, call me Gary" Exel stuck out his hand "Exel". The bloake stared at him sarcastically. A Lot of the whooping was becoming more shallow as exel turned around. A trio of INNovaton grunts stood at the door by the look of their body structure exel knew they were half way threw their short lives.


What was this. A short moment in the lasting timeline that does not exist. Exel stood naked in a dark room lines appeared on the walls. he touched on the closest one. His first kill in an orb. He looked down to see the clothes he had on at that moment. he touched another line. a world covered in flying robots being blown apart in clouds of mushroom. Another, men on a beach in europe being slaughtered with barely any kills on the butcher's side. One where a flag of an eagle is being burned. "THIS IS THE TIME ROOM" said the voice of death. Exel In his soldier's uniform looked ahead, the clothes disappeared as he walked. the was stood by 2 shadows "why have you brought me here? Why then or now or whenever?" “WHEN AND NOW AND WHENEVER DO NOT EXIST. TIME IS NOT A LINE!" The room collapsed outward the lines connected making a grid. and the holes became smaller and smaller. the line became waves and then they crashed against the ship below his feet.


Exel did not move an inch. He stood up from his seat walked up to the exel solder and kicked his crotch before he could recognise the eyes of the terrorist. the two others tackled him one was impaled by the sword the other shot by garry. Exel stood up people scattered out the back door. He took the street followed by his brother and garry. The other cenders were either dead or fighting exel grabbed a R0L-rifle and fired into the chest of a grunt. of a pestilence. and walking corpse.


Exel snapped back to the ship death was alone. "YOU KNOW NOTHING." it said facing to a picture of the INNovaton grunt. taking off the helmet he saw the terror filled face of the man. blood was frozen above his heart Exel flattened his hand,then chopped off his head. death fused to his mother, as he left her, pregnant. Her severed head talked "why? why? why?..." exel knew that she was not real. Yet he felt anger and remorse.


the dead grunt laid on the ground bleeding out Exel ran out and kept up killing

"and killing"


and killing


"and killing"


and killing

the cenders grouped together moving forward towards the center of the town Exel leading them. The INNovaton grunts were soon supported by Lovecraftian guards. Most civilians were hiding, the others were stealing in the chaos, even with it controlled in the center of town. The lorecraftains soon found the battle hopeless and retreated. INNovaton fought till all officers were dead then they were shot as they tried to escape. Exel stood on the center town statue of the creator of INNovaton,he pushed it over. it fell crushing a wounded INNovaton grunt that they let suffer. The thieves stopped thriving and the others stepped out as he started talking. "we are not your enemies, we are not your friends, we are your hope for freedom. If you want INNovaton out of you lives you join us,you help us. The lorecraftians lied to you, you won't accomplish anything with statues and magic, join us we will push out every idiotic idea left in savgeah"

On the mount, a society of men want all men to die



The mount of dunesday


Exel paused as garry spurred his cogs. “Where are we?” Exel asked in an quieted voice.

“15 km south of the fork, 3 km north of the mount of dominion”

Exel coughed. He had 25 men with him, 45 cenders, and 47 beasts. Most of them understood only their native language of kadyis. None of these creatures could fight well with any weapon. The men couldn't accept a cender as their leader.

“Map a chart, I want to know every crook,every cranie that we could use.”

“Yes sir” garry said in a respectful voice

Paze walked up as garry left. He looked off passed the dune that they stood on.

“What are we going to do about the training.”

“Don’t worry”

Paze looked at him puzzling. He walked off believing that this couldn't be his brother


Upon night they moved again, lights came of to the mount, it was visible through the dust of the night. Light looked upon the edges of rocks, bouncing off the smallest reflective surface.

The march was set up in rows, Cenders first,then men,then calw,then cthal. The camp was set the same. All circled the main battle tent, alternating in that order.

Exel stopped. A shot rang out, blood flew threw the air, Exel looked at his arm too see an hole. He turned and whispered “death look upon this”

The troops charged, None were trampled, Even Exel was barely shoved past. Guns fired, swords unhooked. Exel turned around to see men dieing,Cenders wounded, and cthals tearing other men in uniforms apart. The claws looked to be doing the same. It was a force of 40.

Exel’s forces set up camp in the day, the wounded were treated with herbs. The dead were burned. Exel learned of the Dunesday men.

These men were people who believe man could not survive the next 100 years without banning together. In an way they were right. They killed anyone who don't convert in the first few years. Then killed anyone who were not born to other dunesday men.

Exel’s wound healed quickly. He ordered Paze leader of the sniper region. His birth defected helped him with this. A hook like muscle stuck out of his right side of his face he hooked it of the stock of his rifle and it held it in place better than any man could.

Exel looked upon the mount. The mourning sun burned his eyes. In mattered none to him. He looked for an weakness in the mount. He found none, only way to take this mount was with the sands themselves. Exactly Exel thought. “Get the men!”

Get the ones who created this

Sandscape


Fire is light,and water burns it out


The beginning of the Preadors


A week passed. Men of the whole camp were given an task, a mission.

At sunset, Exel brought out 13 men in INNovaton uniforms, stolen off the dead. The dunesday men watched from the cliffside looking north west upon the camp.

“These are the men that created these lands have doomed your kind, not us, not the cenders or beasts.” Exel said “I present to you, the men of INNovaton.”

The men looked doomed, but each was equipped with an extendable dueling cane. The dunes day men sent down a man riding a caravan bull. The men were in easy removable chains they could break free from at any time.

The men were too enter the camp and take it over from the inside out. The beasts would then be supported by the cenders to assault and trap any escaping dunesday men at sunrise.

Exel went back to camp, the dunesday men believed this a piece offering. The beasts were cheering of a future victory. Life was beginning for them,they knew only slavery under the Lorecraftians, of course they were under slavery from INNovaton.

The sun rose of the camp. Exel stood covered in rags and leather in a cinder raiding outfit. He walked upon the mount. A lizard looked upon him. The piece of walking meat walked forward on a rock and looked of him. Exel quickly drew an hatchet and cut the head clean off the miserable creature.

The beasts crossed the dunes separating the camp from the mount, Exel walked slowly,The cthal were mounts for the claw too sire bows off of. The cenders supported in front with swords,hatchets,and some handguns.

Exel crouched down removing the bandanna to eat the lizard. The little scrawny thing went down in 3 bites. The attack party caught up too him. Screams and shot rang out.

“About time” Gary said with a monotone voice, but even the cthals could hear the sarcasm in his thoughts.

The claw said in one single voice. “For the land,for the glory of what the creator truly wanted!”

Exel ran forward straightening out his arm making an sword and reading his hatchet.

The bows fired arrows with attached explosives knocking sand upon the fleeing men. They charged. Exel running far ahead of them. The men inside knew this was a suicide mission.

By the time Exel entered the mounts town entrance half way up it, The dunesday men had reorganized. Exel took each charging man easily. Cutting heads and slashing throats easily.

Death watched upon this like an comedy. Finely he had power after decades.

The men ran up the mount. The attack party entered the gates as Exel open up a storage of guns. The claw fired a final set flame arrows. They stood on the ground to become the land of the predators. The freers of Savgeah

























“Life starts with death”

The land of sand looses it's Armageddon


Exel Sprinted ahead,using time of an cender. The men were either taking aim at the approaching army or running for swords hatchets or other melee weaponry that could be used to destroy the battle party.

Exel stopped at the main gate. Closed the insanity was at the edge of his vision. His army charged ahead. 2 of the cthal were down leaving 3 claw dismounted.

The cender front charged. Exel climbed the gate hatchet in mouth. The men fired bullets into his body, few missed. He took the hatchet out and threw it,activating the gate mechanism. It flew open. He dropped off.

Bullets fell to the ground. Exel’s wounds had healed. He walked full of rage. Unknown why he felt this way. He coughed blood. He ran forward picking up a makeshift handgun off the ground.

Paze looked upon the troops from an higher peak than what the town was set upon. He laid of the ground, a skin of some animal over him,only skin opened up was the area around his right eye. He was in the middle of 4 others,the sniper squadron. The sign was Exel firing a shot into the air. A crack rang out. Louder thanthe others. Paze fired off his first shot and the others followed almost robotically reloading and firing,as if one machine, with 5 different parts.

Exel Ran forward firing a shot into an man protecting a house. He kicked into the house seeing many masked children,they looked up upon Exel. He stood up straighter, and holstered the weapon in the fold of his armor. The kids were silent. He crouched down and removed the mask. The child was almost burningly bright with cleanliness. It looked like it had never see daylight, it blinked and squinted. Exel saw it better, a boy.
“Why? Why the masks?” Exel said quietly

“He told us to?” the boy answered

“Who?”

“Him”

Exel looked behind him a man with a spear charged him, He dodged, the man kepted running impaling the boy. Exel went bazerk. He grabbed the man by the throat and picked the spear out of the boy’s body. He threw him down. Raised the spear and stabbed his genitals. Then his legs,then finally his stomach,lifted him out of the house and impaled him the rest of the way outside.

The boys followed him outside. Carrying the dead one laying it beside Exel. He picked it up and walked towards the center court yard were an well sat. The battle was raging just close by, but the dozen children looked only upon Exel. Dropping the child beside the well. The dunesday men were dying. More and more Exel wished he had never came here. Then it hit him, this was how they thought of the world. No one mattered to them. He stood,coughed then pulled the handgun out walking forward the children seemed to pray around the dead boy. He raised his gun shooting men charging the well. He felt indifferent at death, no pleasure, no pain. Woman ran, he killed them. Everyone,except children. Then yelled “we have claimed this mount!” He dropped the handgun ripping off his mask. His arm became an sword and he ran forward killing men,bursting open doors and killing every this place was owned by. He walked back to the center of town to find the boy in the center surrounded by the masks of the other children,exactly 11. They looked up and spoke the center language “batha kia maetha?” Exel knew what it meant “well of death breaths” Exel nodded. They picked the boy up and pushed him in the well. He picked up his handgun covered by the dust. He slid it in the folds. They cried. He crouched down and wept with them The other cenders came up, they crouched down and sung a prayer of their gods, then the claw and cthal. Beasts of every religion singing and crying for a person they never really knew. Exel stood. Turned and said

“This is the place we shall camp and create the utopia that this place was never meant to be. A place of every religion, of every race, of every being. Every place equal to the peoples,the beasts,the beings, of the land of sand.”


“Savgeah.”
“To this we call it sandscape.”
