Even with future sight, the options Sam and the others had were quite limited. Nino studied every divergence she saw, every important step and its possible outcomes, then discussed all of it with Sam and Mimir. In the meantime the preparations for departure were underway. Everything was loaded onto the Nephilim ship, but there was one problem that remained and it's the human survivers. The atmosphere was thick with tension and unease. The adults were trying to be cooperative, but there was no denying…-

The meeting went on for a couple of hours during which Sam and Mimir decided their next course of action and ironed their objective in the next battle. Now that they had several hundred Nephilim on their side, reaching the portal gate was no longer their top priority. However Sam saw it fit to leave a detached force that would focus on that part. Getting reinforcements from the forty sixth base would definitely tilt the scales in their favor. The second objective would be freeing the captured…

"Loki…" The moment that name left Sam's mouth, an oppressive aura enveloped the room. It was like a switch had been flipped, and the heavy weight of hatred and anger fell on the room. Sam glanced behind him and saw Zero Five. Her eyes were wide open, her pupils having shrunk to small dots as a shadow fell over her face. A strange haze enveloped her body and her hair was slowly floating up, moved by an invisible force. Trenta who was standing beside her was startled and immediately went to form…

"I don't think there is any need to rush things in our world." Nino responded. "The only reason the Primordial arrived in this world so soon is the beacon the Olympians created. Without it, a few more decades will pass before we would have to deal with the same problems." "That boy…" Sam glanced in Kamala's direction before continuing. "Karim, he said he heard the Whispers long before anyone else did. Doesn't that mean that we can't let our guard down?" "I would say he's a special case." Replied…

Among the survivors from the Sanctuary, only four thousand were still alive, about two hundred of them had succumbed to the Whispers and fallen into Madness. The losses were much greater than Sam had anticipated, but with his emotions sealed he found it difficult to empathize with with those left behind. He could tell Kamala wasn't all too happy about how unaffected he seemed, and it didn't help that the Valkyries didn't seem to care at all. With the Nephilim army around the decision became clear.…

Grains of sand fell down a small hourglass one after the other. When the last one left the upper side, Atropos opened her, remaining still for a few seconds before pushing herself up. It had been quite some time since she last slept on such a comfortable bed, and the tranquility it brought made her wish she could lay down for another day or two. Unfortunately, time was something she didn't have and so with great regret she left the comfort of the sheets and began her preparations, a hint of…

"Akasha…" As he repeated the word, Sam got a feeling that he had heard it somewhere. It didn't take him long to remember that it was a term derived from Eastern religions such as Hinduism and Buddhism, adopted by Western occultists in the late nineteenth century and later popularized by various works of fiction. The most known mention of the word is when referring to the "Akashic Records", a theoretical concept of a place where everything is recorded. Every word, thought, intent, action and event…

"Doctor Sanderson." Mimir spoke. "Please explain what you meant by Ms. Nino being a part of the enemy." "Please don't say it like she's still their ally." Ray replied. "What I wanted to say is that Nino came from the same world as them. Apparently she refused to work for their leader and lost her life because of that." "Lost her life…" Sam noticed a glimmer in Mimir's eyes after a few seconds. Something told him that she had already deduced the truth and her next question proved him right. "So…

As if things weren't bad enough, now they find out that some Nephilim were captured and brainwashed. Sam was lost for words. He stared at the floating screen, the recording paused on Thor's image as she descended from the sky. One look was enough for him to know that she was going to be quite the challenge to deal with. The question is would they be able to free her from the enemy's control or was she a lost cause? "And I thought the Nephilim were immune to mental attacks…" In addition to their…

With Sam having returned it was time for a meeting to decide how things would proceed from now on. Zero Five took it upon herself to guard him and Trenta accompanied her this time. They led him to the Nephilim ship where those participating in the meeting awaited his arrival. Representing the human survivors was Kamala, Ramla's assistant. The old seer had passed away in the chaos and with the current situation being what it is the responsibility fell on her shoulders. She seemed quite stressed out,…
