The Wanderer - 216

[A/N: I delayed the upload because I wanted to include this chapter too. Enjoy!

Also, the next upload will be for 'From The Ashes'!

PS: I am curious what you think Elijah should do in this situation. And not just Elijah but even the others as I kind of understand all their standpoints.]

Chapter 216 – Invitation

[2009 – October]

Inwardly frowning, Emma found herself realizing that she was most likely facing the end of the alliance.

As Erik had said, the ...

Chapter 215 – Talk

[2009 – October]

"We have to eliminate the boy, he is too great a threat for mutantkind. This 'vaccine' is the best example.", Magneto stated calmly, his expression not giving away any emotion even though he was talking about murdering a child.

Logan wasn't surprised though as he looked on while standing behind the Professor, who sat at a large round table with Magneto and Emma, ready to discuss what should be done about the 'vaccine'.

They were ...

Chapter 214 – Reality

[2009 – October]

Lazily sitting on the floor in front of the coffee table, my back resting against the leather sofa with Jean's legs draped over my shoulders, I took another spoon of the Indian rice dish that I had ordered after taking a bite of the piece of Naan that Jean held in front of my lips.

She naturally had her own boxed dish that she was eating at the same time, and her feeding me a piece of the flatbread was more of an instinct born out o...

The Wanderer - 213

Chapter 213 – 'The Children Of Men'

[2009 – October]

Looking at the tiny black featherling curled up in her palm, Arya's beak parting widely as she yawned in an indescribably adorable manner, her eyelids heavy as she hooted ever so softly while falling asleep, a burst of incredible tenderness welled up in Jean's heart, the smile on her face gentle and radiant.

She knew that Arya trusted her, but truly feeling the trust in the way the little owlet just fell asleep in her ...

The Wanderer - 212

[A/N: Hey guys, I was taking a few days off to relax since I was kinda feeling as if I was approaching my limits, creatively speaking. It was a good idea since I didn't even realize how close I was to burning out.

I am feeling a lot better though, so I wrote some chapter. Enjoy!

PS: This is a chapter that I have been wanting to write for some time, even if it 'lacks' a bit of plot.]

The Wanderer - 211

Chapter 211 – Chesspiece

[2009 – October]

Swinging along the underside of the Williamsburg Bridge to cross the East River, Peter was mentally readying himself for his 'patrol' that night, the cold breeze blowing over the river making him feel awake and at peace.

Suddenly though, the world before him seemed to lose colour for a single instant, his instincts and perception condensing into a sharp sensation at the back of his mind as his mind focused towards a certain direc...

The Wanderer - 210

Chapter 210 – Pillar

[2009 – October]

My every step stirring up the cold ashes on the ground, I left the place.

Ultimately, I had chosen to eradicate the whole base. I could not allow someone that wantonly drew on my strength to live, or more accurately, I did not want to allow such a thing.

I did not care that he wouldn't be aware of what he was doing since his whole existence violated the rules to which I willingly adhered as the Realm Lord of the Darkforce Dimen...

The Wanderer - 209

Chapter 209 – Choice

[2009 – October]

Dr. Marshall, a Chinese middle-aged man, Lightforce and Darkforce control.

These 'hints' were enough to jog my memory, which made me aware of the sedated man's future identity as Mister Negative.

Originally a member of a Chinese gang, he took part in a human trafficking operation, though the ship had an accident which led to him stealing the identity of one of the people that he was trafficking.

I couldn't remember the na...

The Wanderer - 208

Chapter 208 – Negative

[2009 – October]

“Forcefully awaken mutant potential … “, Emma repeated quietly, her crystal gaze becoming thoughtful as I could see the gears in her head turning.

I wasn't sure what exactly she was thinking about but she certainly wasn't having some sort of moral epiphany.

I could only guess that she thought that being able to awaken the latent abilities in mutants, that had not yet come to light naturally, would be of great benefit to...

The Wanderer - 207

Chapter 207 – Special Case

[2009 – October]

Listening to Emma as she told me about the 'vaccine' and its origins, I naturally remembered that in one of the X-Men movies, a similar plot has unfolded itself. Due to the jumbled timeline though, things were very different now than they had been in the movie.

Still, this gave me a rough understanding of the situation.

I wasn't too surprised by the existence of the 'vaccine' itself though as I was sure that many secret f...

The Wanderer - 206

Chapter 206 – Information

[2009 – October]

"A cure?", her younger brother asked with a faint frown, the shadows in his swelling and flickering.

Emma couldn't really tell what it was that he was thinking about as Elijah's intentions and emotions were as obscure as ever, his calm presence showing not the faintest ripples.

"It's a mutant boy.", she explained, telling her younger brother what has made her so anxious, "His power is to negate every mutant's ability that ...

The Wanderer - 205

Chapter 205 – Cure

[2009 – October – Saturday]

Wearing one of my oversized white hoodies, a skin-tight pair of jeans of light-blue colour, and a black vest, Jean walked by my side as we slowly made our way over the quiet cemetery, her little feet hidden by a pair of black sneakers.

Her complexion was no longer as rosy as it had been after our bout of passion in the hotel, instead, it had been replaced by a quiet and somewhat sad air.

Her small hand held tightly o...

The Wanderer - 204

Chapter 204 – Big Bad Wolf

[2009 – October]

"It's time to wake up, Firefly.", a gentle voice reached Jean's ears and broke through the veils of her dreams, rousing her from her sleep.

Her eyelids fluttering open, she felt a warm presence behind her and a comforting weight around her waist. She didn't even have to think to know that it was Elijah, his familiar presence being something that was impossible for her to not recognize.

Every fiber of her being hummed in q...

The Wanderer - 203

Chapter 203 – Core of Steel

[2009 – October]

Her arms crossed in front of her chest, wearing a tight set of black workout clothes that left only her abdomen bare while covering the rest of her athletic figure including her neck, Laura carried an impassive look on her face as she waited for Celeste in the training room.

In truth though, her heart was rather restless while an uncomfortable nervousness settled in her stomach.

It wasn't the fact that she had never taug...

Announcement

Hey guys!

I just wanted to give you a quick update and explainmy absence for the last few days. I had some kind of food poisoning and wasn't really in any condition to do anything but rest.

Thankfully, I am much better already and have already written a few pages today, even if the content is not yet ready to be released.

Still, I wanted to tell you that I will upoad two chapters tomorrow for 'The Wanderer' so that you can look forward to those.

From The Ashes - 027

Chapter 027 – Infusion

[2012]

Even standing at a distance, Johann felt the oppressive aura bursting out of his Lord, the dust around him being blown away into a storm while the atmosphere trembled.

He himself was a result of an imperfect Super Soldier Serum, his strength incomparable to normal humans, but even then, despite the distance, he felt a huge weight on his shoulders as well as great mental pressure.

Looking at the rather enigmatic man that had appeared out ...

From The Ashes - 026

Chapter 026 – Follower

[2012]

Red Skull, a.k.a. Johann Schmidt had used the Nazi's resources for Hydra's goals and his own obsession to become something superior to a mortal human. His relentless research and pursuit of mythical legends had eventually led him to the Tesseract, which he had planned to use to end the Second World War by making Hydra the ultimate winner.

This plan though was ultimately foiled by Steve Rogers, a.k.a. Captain America.

Still, as someone wh...

The Wanderer - 202

[A/N: Hey guys, so I read your comments and some of you have expressed wished for more action and less slice of life for 'The Wanderer'.

Still, I have to disappoint you as this is just how it is with this story. The slice of life parts may seem boring to some of you but they are important pieces of the story and the pace of the story is also just different from my other works.

I won't change this just because some of you might not enjoy it since this is the only way I can really w...

The Wanderer - 201

Chapter 201 – An Abstract Form Of Art

[2009 – October]

Leaving the underground warehouse after showing Emma what Elijah had asked her to retrieve from a certain black market weapons dealer, the look in Selene's eyes changed from mildly disgruntled to pondering in the blink of an eye as if her emotions were nothing but masks that she could switch out wholly depending on her wishes.

It wasn't for nothing that she had lived for millennia, after all. At this point in her uni...

From The Ashes - 025

Chapter 025 – Wraith

[2012]

Slowly my consciousness flickered as I woke up from my slumber, exhaustion making my limbs feel as if they had been shackled to a mountain.

Forcing myself to open my eyes and expand my perception, I realized that I was laying on my side with nine inches of water all around me.

The colours of the most beautiful sunset illuminated my surroundings as I pushed myself into a kneeling position with difficulty and looked around.

I wasn't su...

From The Ashes - 024

Chapter 024 – Supreme

[2012]

Looking into the single eye of the King of Asgard, a wrathful spirit boiling in my blood, I fought hard to stop myself from attacking the Allfather.

Breathing heavily, I felt incredible exhaustion well up in my mind while I tried to resist the vengeful and destructive desires that gave me the strength to stand after what had just happened.

The mythical instincts of my phoenix form demanded that I make the old man bleed and suffer for his ...

The Wanderer - 200

[A/N: Had some problems with the in-built harddrive in my laptop and had to do a reset. Thankfully, I had all my data backed up so nothing was lost. Still a bother, not to mention a waste of time.

Anyway, Enjoy!]

Chapter 200 – Faster

[2009 – October]

The streets were dark as we left the Massachusetts Academy, the night not yet willing to submit to the rule of the sun.

To leave the relatively secluded school, I drove along the winding mountain path ...

The Wanderer - 199

Chapter 199 – Departure

[2009 – October]

Quietly preparing some clothes for Jean and myself, I kept in mind what she liked to wear while picking out those that I knew she found the most comfortable.

Though that was just for her outerwear as I couldn't help but place the underwear that I found the sexiest and most alluring in the small bag that I had prepared.

I was sure that she wouldn't be mad at me for this, especially not when I planned to 'show' her exactly wha...

From The Ashes - 023

Chapter 023 – Worthy

[2012]

Feeling the blue flames pushing back against his Odinforce with unexpected ferocity, the flaming avian's innate strength almost breaking through the binding force, the Allfather was already shocked by the half-mortal's strength after his transformation.

Nevertheless, he wasn't the King of Asgard for nothing.

And just a moment later, he summoned enough strength from this realm to crush a small star, pulling the mythical fire creature before...

From The Ashes - 022

Chapter 022 – Pressure

[2012]

Seeing with his own eyes the man that had brought back his sons from Earth, the Allfather managed to hide the trepidation that he felt, his knowledge of the man somewhat similar to Heimdall's.

Different from the gatekeeper though, Odin was certainly aware of the Infinity Stone that the other party wielded and carried within his chest, not to mention that he had a better understanding of what it meant for the stranger to be able to use the 'Sou...

From The Ashes - 021

[A/N: Still this story since some of you asked me to at least finish the scene with Odin, which I thought was a reasonable request. Enjoy!]

Chapter 021 – Odin

[2012]

Dark marble floors with golden inlays spread over the incomparably huge hall, gold being the obviously dominant colour that could be found in the throne 'room', beautifully crafted embellishments of that same colour all around.

Enormous golden pillars held up the painted ceiling that told of A...

From The Ashes - 020

Chapter 020 – Similarities

[2012]

Moving hurriedly, Sif didn't even think to stay and let her curiosity stump her for long instead of greeting Thor.

Thankfully, the large square in front of the main palace was easily reached from the balcony that she was currently at, especially since she was an Asgardian and not an average on either.

Running down the stairs in her silken dress, her movements not inhibited by the tight-fitting piece of clothing that hugged her gorgeo...

Poll - From The Ashes

Hey guys!

I think most of you remember that I asked for some suggestions about the female lead i.e. love interest of Noah. Up until now, I haven't really been able to make a decision even if I have a few candidates in mind.

There were also some of you that suggested Hela, I believe. But she is just not a good fit even if the potential for such a pairing was intriguing.

Hela is not a 'good' person and she certainly has the ambition to conquer and rule even if her c...

From The Ashes - 019

[A/N: Hey guys! I just finished editing these two chapters as I kinda fell asleep last night and couldn't finish then. Still, here they are and you can look forward to another chapter around evening!

Enjoy!]

Chapter 019 – Calculated Risk

[2012]

Deliberately using the Space Stone to arrive on the rainbow bridge near the Bifrost to avoid causing any displeasure in the Godking that ruled this realm by just brazenly invading the city or even the palace, it was...

From The Ashes - 018

Chapter 018 – 'Soul of Will', Primis

[2012]

Asgard. A world inhabited by gods that ruled and protected the Nine Realms.

One could only imagine the majesty and grandeur of such a world but in reality, the word 'world' was strangely inadequate.

Looking like a paradisical continent that was suspended in the dark void of the Universe, surrounded by countless light-bleeding stars, its rivers and oceans flowing into midnight-shaded cosmos around it.

There was only a ...
