The Legend of Tantus - Book 2

Chapter 2 - The clash of two worlds

    Omega and Ultima took just one day, among their many stops and discoveries, and soon found the Liz Harbor. At first they were surprised by the exact similarities between them and the men, but also impressed by the moghrans and tartars, their costumes, strange to other people, attracted attention in a curious way, and Ultima's unique beauty caused several looks in her direction. They walked through various places in the city, the shipyard, the pier and the commerce, but they were no longer there for a walk, after a while they tried to get people's attention, without success, until Ultima lost her patience and destroyed an entire house, just blowing her power! Immediately everyone was alert and frightened, and climbing into the rubble they finally showed themselves:

- Attention, strangers. From now on you will be looking at your future kings! – said Omega. – Lower your heads to the ground and show submission, so that we can turn this world into a true example of prosperity!

    In fact, the way they acted more reminiscent of quarrelsome and abused children taking possession of other people's toys, it seemed unreal, or ridiculous, but no doubt they were serious, this was proven when soldiers from the Kingdom of Terra (Krantenion did not yet exist) tried to arrest them, and were easily knocked out by Ultima. People were still slow to believe that only a man and a woman caused such a big mess, and they still talked about world domination, that was when Omega showed his strength, black clouds and strong winds took over the place, and rising from his hand the golden power spread across the city at incredible speed, several beams destroyed many houses and injured people, albeit not badly, but it was just a tiny part of his terrible potential, the power of Darkan royalty, and soon people panicked. It was nothing elemental, it was different, something never seen before, many doubted they were lords, and they were right.

    The brothers began to roam the world so quickly, that from one continent to another it would not take more than a few minutes, but they did not fly, they simply ran and jumped, floating at will, as if they were the owners of gravity themselves. Brambal, Anarkandy, Morwen Harbor and Menegost, Balvera, Varzog, Andunië and Scyra, as far as Meira and Zelante, on all continents some cities were attacked, without the slightest chance of even knowing what it was about, until they were dominated. Omega and Ultima practically enslaved the continents in a few hours, and nobody had any idea what was going on or who they were, they did not take anyone's life, since they intended to dominate, the brothers were really conquering all of Tantus in a frightening way, it was then that, strangely, they began to destroy uncontrollably, forests, rivers and mountains were devastated, they fired their powers into the ocean causing great damage in the depths, an act very unusual for the darkanians that, until then, they had never deliberately harmed, and in a way so heavy, the nature of a planet, they were hunters of combat, not destroyers of worlds... They were ruining the balance willingly until they came across, on the island where the city of Hildebrand was located, in Meira, with two figures who stopped them, and challenged them only with an unhappy gaze:

- Who would you be? – asked a tartar who looked like a dark rock, of majestic physique, wore a gray breastplate with heavy armor, with silver bracelets and shin guards, as well as a gray cloak, and beside him was a moghran, wearing a dark blue king costume, with a beautiful helmet of the same color protecting his forehead, but which left his long red mane totally free, and it fluttered like a flame, being also majestic.

- Perhaps this question should be ours. Who are you? – asked Omega.

- What right do you have to come to our world and do all this? – asked the moghran.

- Do you know that we are not of this world? – asked Ultima.

- This is an obvious thing. – replied the tartar.

- We do only what we need to do. – Omega. – We will transform this world into a prosperous and strong empire, as our image should be.

- Over our dead bodies. – The moghran.

- Will be fun. – Ultima.

    The brothers were facing Eredal, the Lord of Gravity, and Veigh, the Lord of Fantasy, and the battle between Darkan and Tantus was beginning.

    The lords, from Plane, could observe the whole world, as well as anyone they wished, but mysteriously and curiously they were not able to see exactly the darkanians, only doing so when their great powers were effectively used, so the delay in locating them. With the hands completely n***d the brothers attacked quickly, Ultima, impetuous as she was, chose Veigh, while Omega faced Eredal, the lords moved freely through the air, being able to fly if they wished, but the brothers did not stay behind and their differences at this point practically did not exist. At first they were impressed by the elemental power of Tantus, a power that until then was unknown to them, more complex and just as powerful. Eredal formed ice shields to defend himself against Omega's golden bursts, and Omega decided to use his power in the form of a sword, against which the lord of gravity drew his black metal battle hammer, which had one pointed side, stopping each of your opponent's swift strokes. Even though he was a medium-sized opponent, Eredal was easily intercepted by Omega, and physical fighting became their greatest resources, at the incredible speed they were moving, they were already fighting in the Sierra of Lieben! Always provoking natural phenomena, Omega appealed to his incredible golden power, which Eredal countered with fire, but the lord still did not believe that there was such a strange and yet beautiful and fearful power, although he was not yet using his full power, in order to further analyze the opponent, he should admit that he was a very dangerous opponent, capable of defeating him if he let his guard down.

    Veigh and Ultima ended up in the White Mountains of Saitar, although the lord of fantasy was initially reluctant to attack a woman, apparently so fragile for him, soon became convinced otherwise when he was hit by the golden thunder of the princess of Darkan, Veigh plummeted between the mountains in a daze while his enemy just smiled and looked at him. Now the fight should be taken more seriously, she used her power to form a sword, similar to her brother, and the lord of fantasy formed an ax of light, being concentrated to the point of assuming a fixed form of pure energy, light can cut practically anything, only objects with magical force are able to contain it, and against the mysterious darkanian power it rivaled perfectly. They clashed in the icy air at a speed that inattentive eyes could never keep up, but Ultima was young and reckless, letting her guard down fearfully when she realized that her enemy could beat her, she was hit by the thunder that Veigh shot, in the back, falling in one of the mountains and rising furiously, she now attacked with all her anger.

    Omega and Eredal were highly tied, and the sword of golden power continued to be contained by the lord's hammer, until he quickly held his weapon and held the enemy's sword in a defense with his bare hands, undoing the power of Omega, who now fired hundreds of beams of light that looked more like snakes through the air, changing its trajectory and chasing the tartar, ending up hitting him, but when the prince of Darkan thought he had won, after the flash, he could see Eredal holding all the beams! Using his incredible element and expelling them back to his master, Omega jumped to try to reach him, but was enveloped by a cold air that quickly formed an ice cage and trapped him, he prepared to break it, but his enemy hit with a blow from his concentrated gravity hammer, Omega, trapped in the ice, hit the ground with such violence that the earth shook, opening a crater in the mountains, he got up stunned and fired his maximum power at the lord, who responded with ice and holy, the clash between them scared the whole continent, which had been happening since the beginning of their fight (and Ultima and Veigh was no different), but the lord of gravity was superior and won, pushing the whirlwind against his enemy, however saved him at the last moment of the explosion, which devastated much of the mountain. Omega was defeated and almost unconscious, carried by Eredal.

    Ultima attacked Veigh with all her strength and speed, and he responded with the same efficiency, but at one point, undoing her sword, she attacked with such fury that the lord was struck surprisingly, and then by many other blows, dozens, ending up throwing him to one of the mountains. Believing that she won, she stopped for a few moments, but again he came up behind her simply with his arms crossed, the princess attacked him in the same way, and then again, all this was the work of the element of fantasy, illusions! Ultima took a long time to find the real one, and when she did he was already above her, firing a blast of scattered light, she incredibly resisted for a long time, forming a golden sphere as a defense, until it broke and she was hit, and just before falling on a small frozen lake, right in the middle of the foggy valley, Veigh prevented her fall and took her unconscious, defeated.

    The lords, winners, took the brothers to where it all started, Meira, and already awake and more recovered they admitted defeat:

- This is the first time that we darkanians have found defeat. – said Omega. – And as the tradition of our world dictates, you have the right to decide our destinies...

- "Darkanians", you say. – said Veigh. – Tell us about your world. – And at that moment all the other lords descended among them, revealing themselves, showing that they were also alert.

    The brothers were astonished by so many beings more powerful than themselves, and were showing their respect now. The darkanians told to the lords all their history, from their nature and the flame of battle, to the civil war and destruction of Darkan.

- So you are world destroyers? – asked Kenta, the Lord of Earth, and his imposing wolf image drew attention.

- We never destroyed any world, we were only looking for fighting. – replied Omega.

- Just the fighting?! – said another lobime, it was Remus, the Lord of Air.

- Look at that! – said another lobime, it was Eden, the Lord of Thunder, pointing to all the destruction they caused. – Is this how you do not destroy worlds? You were taking ours to ruin!

- We...

    In fact, the brothers had done something terrible, they would have ruined everything, and only now did they realize, for this was never the nature of darkanians, perhaps the excitement of youth went up in their heads, or even the painful memories of the losses suffered, and that still squeezed their hearts, a necessary lesson to never forget. Now showing themselves totally sorry for everything they did, for their stupid inconsequence, but the truth was that they almost dominated Tantus, even if only briefly, and proved to be dangerous even to the lords, impressing them.

- We may not be able to understand your pain, still recent. – said a lobime, it was Taria, the lady of planar life. – But we can try, if you were willing to allow us.

- ???

- Forget it, Taria, they almost took over our world today, and we must not allow them to stay alive, or they will try again. – said a moghran with red and dark eyes.

- No, Zeijadel, we are here at the will of the great Tantus, and like him, it is our duty to show the same generosity.

- ...

- This world will also be your home, if you wish, your new home.

    Omega and Ultima were welcomed by Tantus, with the simple promise of living in peace, which in fact was Infinitus' last wish. In fact Omega was very similar to his father, for being the firstborn the battle flame was already burning weakly inside him, but Ultima, younger and more aggressive, still carried her nature, although she was destined to lose it just like her brother, she sometimes got tricked, giving him a headache, but he would never stop loving her as his family, and even the lords trusted them now, except Zeijadel, who made sure to keep a watchful eye on them for several winters, and maybe even some plans... From this day on they would be considered tantanians too, and they learned a lot about the culture of their new world, in fact the adaptation was such that in a short time they started to remember Darkan as "The light of the three Suns", exactly by the name of the star that bathed this system. Omega has always been interested in handiwork, the art of Darkan forge, which even among the many worlds they knew was considered unique, and in this way he was able to create a very rare metal called “atomizer”, existing only in Darkan, a derivative material from the union of several other natural metal alloys, making it exceptionally powerful to be up to the hands that would handle it. However, it was used only in weapons and armor, as it was only possible to produce it in limited quantities at a time, just enough for this, and it should be kept in a liquid state until the moment of manufacture, and if more than the limit was produced, to increase its volume, or melted (at great cost) when ready, inexplicably compromised its resistance, therefore, it could not be used in other things that required larger quantities, such as vehicles or even ships. Omega brought this unique knowledge of his world, finding in Tantus all the other necessary alloys, so he made two splendid twin swords for him and his sister, these were curved like shinobi swords, but much longer and with the sculpture of a strange bird of prey on the pommel, which was the symbol of Darkan royalty. For a moment they also thought of assisting Tantus with their knowledge of Darkan science, being able to take them to spectacular technology quickly and directly, but Omega decided that they should not interfere, not in this way, as the natural path was the most correct, and it should be. All of this, “The Almost Domination of Tantus”, secret even among the archives, took place just over fifty winters, which darkanians called “years”, from the time of Sumith and Seth, and the group...
