Re: The Nation of Shu

Soren was amazed at the similarity of the Necron invasion tactic to a Ayakashi brood assault. The fact that they were thousands of years old also perplexed him. Soren realized he must be far beyond the ridge. The ridge was the end of what Earth authorities deemed as free explored space. The ridge is pushed outwards as more space is explored and investigated by earth's scientists. The ridge boundary, however, remained constant in one area. That area of space belonged to the Ayakashi. The Ayakashi being thousands of years old, owned a region of space much larger than the area deemed free explored space. Not to mention they had attacked many areas far beyond the region of their control. For Rankar not know of the existence of the Necrons meant that Soren was an unfathomable distance from home.

What puzzled Soren even more was Lyn's shock as to the appearance of the Necrons, almost as if they had emerged from the mists of time immemorial. They Ayakashi were awaken from stasis as well. Funny how ancient evils can awaken from slumber simultaneously in multiple places in the universe without knowledge of each others existence. But, then again if they knew of each others existence they would have fought till only one remained. So in a way it did make sense.

"If the Necrons are as viscous as you say, why would they even leave single city standing? What is their drive to conquer? Do they enslave their foes or just murder them? Why would something that powerful, that existed so long, not be more well known? Did the planets under their dominion decrease?" asked Soren in rapid succession.

"I can't answer all those question now. I will answer your questions once we get a safe distance away," said Lyn.

"Why so inquisitive Meat? The only ones you need to worry about are my brothers. These beings are interesting and surely would make a great base to add Ayakashi blood to, but they are hardly strong," remarked Rankan with a sigh of disinterest.

The makeshift sand-ship continued its forward progress. The town behind shrouded in smoke and flashes of green light. Soren tried to convince himself this was not his fight and the people of this world we not his concern. However, the blood curdling shrieks of the injured and the unanswered pleading of mothers begging God to spare their young, sent a chill down Soren's spine. He knew he would not sleep well tonight either.
