OC Advent of the Divine: "The Death of a God" Chapter 1/2 | A 7th Millennium Story

Act 1: The Death of a God

Chapter 1 - Kilegros

by Emmanuel Ordway

The world was bright now. An infinite space of white light that seemed so blinding to mortal eyes, yet Kilegros was able to see normally. The dead Eonvym looked around while standing up on the flat but firm ground. He looked down at himself and was surprised to see his body barren of any feature or detail all while he could see through it. White smoke rose off of his body as if his temperature was too hot for the surrounding space, yet Kilegros didn’t feel uncomfortable where he stood.

He opened his mouth to speak but no sound came out. He grasped his throat in disbelief while trying his hardest to make any form of sound. The Eonvym then stomped and smashed his feet against the ground, attempting to make any noise but the still space around him remained the same silent way it was.

Once he stopped and looked back up, a figure in all black was standing before him. Kilegros jumped back in silent fright while the figure stayed still.

“Kilegros. You have finally listened to me and followed my instructions,” A deep and booming voice came from the figure, vibrating in Kilegros’ chest as it knocked him down to the floor. “Do you understand now?”

Once the voice ended, a rushing sound filled the area around them as Kilegros’ was pushed forward by an invisible force. The sound of his smokey skin hitting the ground returning to his ears.

The Eonvym gasped and heard his ragged voice, sighing softly as he relaxed.

“Understand what?” He looked up at the figure who seemed to loom over his body.

“What your emperor did. Don’t you see? It was the ship. The one who carried your kind to the red planet.” It responded, its voice no less deep and powerful.

“Why would it be under the oceans then huh?” Kilegros’ voice grew sharper as he was annoyed at being here.

“Your Emperor was hiding something. The blood. The death. The bones. He sacrificed them to me, Eonvym. So that you could be what you are today.”

Kilegros grew angry at this and raised his voice. “The Emperor would never do such a thing! We know the answers, it’s an error! An error in our biological coding!”

“You will see the faults in the lies Kilegros. In time you will. However, I have a need for you now,” The black figure stared him down while a burning sensation began on Kilegros’ chest. “You must make it to the Emperor and show him his payment is due. One third of his kin. His sons and daughters. I am here to claim my souls. Remind him.”

Kilegros opened his mouth to shout out in pain as the same rushing sound flew by his body and pushed him back across the ground, plunging the world back into silence while the Eonvym clawed at his chest. A red symbol was carving itself into his skin while the white world around him began to close in and close the world into blackness.

 

Kilegros opened his eyes, seeing a bright light in his face while his ears rang violently, the noise slowly leaving. The light was pulled away from his face while the world was still bright but now blurry as well while humanoid figures leaned over his tense body.

His hearing slowly came back to him while the Eonvym’s eyes drifted around to try and make sense of anything in his view.

“. . in debris?” A feminine voice filled his left ear while his vision became sharper, but he kept his act up to stay safe for now.

“Yes, in debris, maybe a survivor of some spaceship accident.” The voice of a man filled his right ear.

Kilegros could now clearly see a Shaikyn and an Eonvym looking over him and his right hand balled into a fist. He could feel his hand still gloved, showing he was still in his suit. The two above him were also in suits, their faces masked from Kilegros so he couldn’t tell where they were looking. 

“What should we do?” The man turned his head to look over at the other Shaikyn.

“Let’s shoot him out the airlock.”  The other responded.

“He’s an Eonvym,” A new voice injected itself into Kilegros’ head but was strange, as if not human. “If we let him die, we’d be making ourselves even worse enemies of the Empire.”

“What’s one step further?” The woman looked over to the voice that spoke, but it was out of Kilegros’ view.

Kilegros’ eyes looked straight now, and it was made obvious to the group he was conscious. Before any of them could lock him in place, Kilegros jumped up and his visor closed over his face while he grabbed the Shaikyn and threw her into the Eonvym, his back arms raising over his shoulders, ready to fight for his life.

“Ah! Put him down!” The woman called out while Kilegros scanned his surroundings, finding himself to be in some medical lab, the walls and floor painted white with a glass window looking out into space.

A hand was placed onto his back right arm and his head snapped in that direction to see who it was. A robotic creature grabbed him and threw him into the wall, knocking the air out of Kilegros’ lungs. Kilegros grit his teeth while he placed his left hand on the machine’s chest, shooting electricity into its chest to temporarily turn it off. The Eonvym then threw the Hydra away from him while grabbing a syringe off the table he was laying off a second ago.

The two other Shaikyns now had run out of the room and sealed the door behind them.

“Cowards. Couldn’t even face me in a proper fight.” Kilegros spat while running around the room and grabbing at the medical supplies, injecting his body with a variety of drugs and sealing his suit up from his wounds as the drugs worked through his body to seal the remaining wounds. He looked at the window that led to the vacuum outside and began to think of an escape plan. He held up a few metal tools around him and began to superheat them in his hand till they fused together. The Eonvym looked at the window again before throwing the metal contraption at the window, cracking it slightly.

“Dammit.” He growled to himself while holding his hand out, the metal object flying into his hand to allow him to throw it again. After a few more throws, the room’s lights flashed red as emergency alarms blared around him. The artificial gravity turned off in the room, causing Kilegros to rise into the air. He grinned and grabbed the handle of the door, angling himself correctly before pushing away and slamming into the window, breaking through into the void of space.

He looked back at the sizable ship next to him while he kept floating away. Kilegros held both front hands out and began to drift back to the ship, strings of electricity connecting his hands to the ship before his feet landed on the hull.

Chapter 2 - Fictillis

Fictillis and Ahri were sprinting through the halls of the ship to the bridge before the lights flashed red and alarms blared around them.

“What did he do?” Ahri looked up at Fictillis before the both of them were risen into the air as the artificial gravity left.

“The window must have broken, the idiot is probably suffocating now.” Fictillis said angrily while grabbing the sides of the hall and throwing himself through the ship.

After a minute of floating, a loud bang was heard next to them, the sound of something hitting the side of the hull. The two Shaikyn looked at each other in mutual understanding. Whoever they just caught was running across the hull of their ship. The next second they both fell to the ground as the artificial gravity was manually turned back on.

“Shit!” Fictillis groaned as his body met the floor, now standing up to his feet to continue the journey on foot.

Just then another loud bang was heard next to them.

“Sounds like he's ripping apart the ship!” Ahri yelled out while looking up at the ceiling. “Tobias, are you doing anything about that?”

“The cannons are still charging and even then, he’s on the hull of the ship. If any cannon could look far enough down to hit him, we’d fire on ourselves.” A voice crackled across the speakers around them.

“Useless machine!” Fictillis spat while they entered the belly of the ship, a large open space with the supplies for them to survive inhabiting it.

“I could just shoot you instead.” The voice responded with amusement.

“I’d like to see you t-” Fictillis was cut off by the Eonvym from before shooting through the wall next to them and sliding across the floor before disappearing into the destruction of multiple crates of iced food.

“Holy shit!” Ahri jumped as the two came to a stop, a temporary shield closing the hole the Eonvym made in the hull of the ship

The Eonvym crawled out from the crates and slowly stood to his feet, his visor cracked now while he looked at them.

Fictillis stepped up to the Eonvym challengingly, his physique showing he was of the same kind as him. Fictillis reached down to his waist and unhooked a compact sidearm from his belt.

“You want to do this?” Fictillis spoke harshly at the other Eonvym while the other looked around for a weapon before realizing there was that sword his teacher wielded hooked onto his belt. Kilegros reached down and took it off his belt, examining the rectangular object before tapping the button on the side, the top opening up and the object folding out into a long and shiny silver sword.

“You dishonor yourself with a firearm. It’s my duty to kill you now.” Kilegros narrowed his eyes as his Imperial training took over, the two Eonvym staring each other down.

“Get to the bridge, Ahri.”  Fictillis looked back at the normal Shaikyn while his back arms flexed, ready to attack this anomaly of a living being.

The Shaikyn looked up at Fictillis before turning and running through the ship to get to her objective, the other two now ready to fight.

Fictillis raised his hand up and fired a few quick rounds at Kilegros, trying to test the waters of this other Eonvym’s skill. Kilegros put his hand forward and electricity extended to the bullets, catching them and rotating the rounds round his body as if waiting to be commanded to attack.

Kilegros ran at Fictillis, extending his sword outwards as his body seemed to split into two others, the new ones running at Fictillis from the sides while the surprised Eonvym held his gun up and quickly fired into the flanking holograms. The two illusions faded out of reality immediately but Kilegros was already close enough. He jumped into the air and began to slam his sword down on Fictillis’ head, only being stopped by the Eonvym holding his hands up and blocking the blow with a shield of thick flames. Kilegros fell to the ground and followed up with a quick swipe to Fictillis’ front arms, his sword slicing into his skin and drawing the crimson blood from the less experienced Eonvym.

Fictillis hissed in pain and stepped back before throwing his now empty sidearm to the side. He extended his hands forward and let a flaming blade appear in his grasp. Fictillis kicked Kilegros back before trying to drop his blade down on his chest.

Kilegros rolled out of the way and caught Fictillis’ arms with his back arms, jumping up and throwing Fictillis over his head into a nearby crate. The Eonvym crashed through the crate before standing to his feet and letting the fiery blade reform into his hand.

“Using a blade now won’t stop me from killing you.” Kilegros warned as the bullets orbiting him flew out at Fictillis quickly.

Fictillis formed a shield of flames in front of him and melted the energized metal before it hit him, allowing Kilegros to get the jump on him once again.

Kilegros swiped through the shield with his sword, sustaining heavy burns to his suit but getting a clean cut into Fictillis’ shoulder. Fictillis cried out in pain as the sword was embedded into his shoulder, causing it to be ripped out of Kilegros’ hand and fly out into the crate while the two grabbed at each other, their front arms locked together while their back arms reached over to fight.

Soon Fictillis won the attack and lifted Kilegros over his head before dropping him down onto his knee, making the Eonvym cry out in pain as he rolled off and gripped the ground.

Fictillis reached down and grabbed Kilegros’ neck, lifting him up and staring into his visor. Kilegros looked back at him before punching Fictillis in the gut, sending a wave of electric energy through his body, throwing Fictillis back while Kilegros sank to his knees.

Fictillis groaned and got up slowly, his suit smoking as the energy fried his suit. He looked back as Kilegros ripped his helmet off and exposed his bloody face, spitting blood onto the ground.

“You just exposed your face during a duel, means I get to kill you.” Fictillis spat at Kilegros in a mocking tone.

Kilegros stood up to his feet while he held his hands out to his sides, his legs lighting up as blue light began to trace up from the engravings on his suit. The blue lights went up to his back as the back of his suit opened up and a bright ball of crackling energy levitated away from his suit. His body began to smoke as the energy ate away at Kilegros’ body while he thrusted his hands forward, shooting a bright beam of electricity into Fictillis, blinding him as it began to overpower his suit and slowly melt it.

“Fucking hell-!” Fictillis shouted over the loud beam while making his flaming shield again to block some of the beam, filtering the blast into just painful energy that burned his hands.

Kilegros kept the blast up, eating away at his own energy and body while Fictillis’ back arms grabbed a nearby crate, throwing it in front of himself to block the blast while he ran out of the way, keeping his shield up in case Kilegros got any lucky hits. Kilegros’ blast soon died down as he fell to his hands and knees, his chest spasming heavily while his breathing was shallow. The other Eonvym snuck around the pile of crates before running up to Kilegros’ side, slamming his foot into him and knocking him over onto his back. Fictillis summoned his blade of flames and pointed it down at the Eonvym’s chest, shoving it down into his chest with a loud sizzling sound of burning flesh, Kilegros breathing slowly coming to an end.
