The King had reached the end of his path and took note of the giant portal that bestowed before him. The giant gate had a blue film which seemed capable of falling out and flooding the Nexus with its blue surface. Gilgamesh reached his hand out to touch the blue-liquid and he was instantly transported to a place devoid of the watery substance that was just in reach. The white land instantly faded into the still bright sands of the desert decorated occasionally by the patches of trees and grassland. In the distance Gilgamesh could see a patch of houses and civilization that was just visible beyond the waves of heat rising above the grass.

My Kingdom will reign once again.

Gilgamesh started his path onto the town, with his golden boots kicking up sand. As he got closer to the village he could see the influx of trees and grass increasing until he was surrounded by the town, the buildings looking dated and the ground looks fresh. Gilgamesh looked disgustingly at the people around him, the dirty things. They walked by not even acknowledging his presence, he needed to remind them that he was their King!

His face was seething with disgust, I will teach these mongrels who their King is! He was about to open up his Gates of Babylon until a squad of troops walked past him, armed and alert. He gritted his teeth and immediately closed the golden portal.

Damn, I need to remind my citizens to aid me back to power. He turned away and began walking in the streets away from the troops.

"Hey there mister. Did you get lost? Might be unlucky if someone to rob ya and that fancy gold suit of yours." A voice with an obvious southern accent broke the silence. His attempt to get Gilgamesh's attention yielded no response which seemed to frustrate the man.

"Idgit. You turn to me when I'm talking to you boy." The voice called out louder this time.

Gilgamesh turned around slowly and his expression was a mixture between sullen and livid. The man he saw was no other than a commoner around these parts. He had a black cowboy hat on and a white dress shirt. The man's hand was placed upon the revolver that hung comfortably upon his waist.

"You rabid dog! You will suffer for your imprudence! Is that the way a dog like you should speak to their King!"

The man smirked and wiped his lip with his free hand. "I have no King boy! Now how about you give me that Golden suit before I put a bunch of holes…" Blood spurted from his lip and and choked. His white shirt was beginning to flood with his red-life substance. A spear with a golden shaft, ornate with rubies and emeralds was protruding from his chest and fell with the man to the ground. His blood staining the ground he was just standing on. The spear disintegrated into the sky away from the man and the gold portal that had just been opened.

"I am sad that your tainted blood had to desecrate my treasures." The King looked saddened and he quickly closed the Gate. The people around him, looked in awe of Gilgamesh. He laughed and looked at the crowd of people.

"I will not tolerate anyone who dares defile I, King Gilgamesh, my kingdom, or my subjects. For all of those who wish to serve me, I will provide protection from the filth that walk these streets!' The crowd just stood there, out of either disbelief or fear of Gilgamesh. The King frowned and his mood darkened.

"That is the wrong choice…But you all shall learn the pleasures of serving me. But if you at first wish to experience the punishments of pain, you may realize the right answer and come to me after."

He walked off away from the crowd and the bloodied corpse that had taught the town the lesson of disrespecting Gilgamesh.

There are three NPCs waiting approval or disapproval and plots starting to need them.

Planning to stir up some trouble in the Endless Dunes. Anyone want in? (Trouble=try to become the predominant faction)

As a giant hole tore open from the sky Gilgamesh stood there in disbelief of the few actions that had just happened. A black substance began to flood out of the giant hole that Gilgamesh was directly under and within seconds Gilgamesh was drenched in the black tar-like substance. He heard whispers and sins until he heard absolutely nothing. Gilgamesh was able to move freely and was no longer dragged down by the black tar. A bright white smile grew from the darkness.

Gilgamesh tried to speak and demand to know where he was but his voice could not carry throughout the darkness. The silhouette began to speak and the King started to tune him out, "…you interest me…" The King gave the silhouette a glare. The thing called Omni apparently stated something about rules.

I am the rules. Don't talk this way to your KING!

He couldn't speak but his seething rage was apparent through his body motions. The Darkness faded and was quickly replaced by a gleaming light. A tall hourglass was standing before him and the sand surrounding faded into the bright whiteness that was prevalent throughout.

"If that mongrel thinks he can control me he is poorly mistaken. I am not his plaything, it is he who is mine!" The king rubbed his forehead and looked ahead to the many various paths. He opened his hand and a small golden portal opened up, allowing for a small goblet decorated with rubies to come out. He took a sip of the wine and tossed the goblet, allowing it to dissipate into golden dust. He let out a sigh and laughed.

"If I'm stuck here I might as well enjoy myself." The king put on a grin and walked away to a foreign land that he rules, but is unfamiliar with

Would a Super Move that de-ages a target, if not force them to a previous state of evolution (EG: A human to a monkey) require the Healing Power, the Time Manipulation power, or both?

There was a week of relative ‘silence’ in Darkshire following the news that an organized group of undead had been operating within a few hours of the town’s walls. In that time, news of the ‘heroics’ of the twosome of militia soldiers had spread throughout circles.

The Grecian and the Chinaman.’

‘The Spartan and the Sorcerer.’

Shang had been sitting in a more upscale tavern one night when he overheard a bard singing tales about two ‘medieval’ primes slaying a horde of demons outside the gates of Darkshire. Disguised as just another random patrician, the sorcerer had asked another patron what the bard was singing about, and the response he had received was simple—‘those two new militia soldiers.’

In a way, he appreciated the respect he now commanded… not only among the members of the garrison but also among the everyday riffraff. Prior to enlisting, he had worked hard to make himself appear as the lovable, gallant ‘every man,’ and now that he was a local hero, he had the upper half of society pining for him as well.

On one such day before the return of Atelos, Shang was sitting in his quarters mulling over the future. He was reminded of the very first day he came to Darkshire, when a returning champion had been greeted as if he were a god in human flesh. Since then, the sorcerer had seen very little of that armored warrior, but he couldn’t help but feel as if he was following a sort of parallel course in regards to his own celebrity. The last thing that Shang wanted was someone leapfrogging him in the social strata.

Plus, he loved little more than to take the souls of the strong and virtuous… they always made for such amusing company on his lonely nights.

The sun was slowly rising, and within a few hours, the middle- and upper-classes of the town would wake up and go on with their usual live, wholly ignorant of the missing criminals and vagrants in the less affluent district. A fleeting smile crossed the sorcerer’s visage as he flexed his hands. His nights in the garrison without a ‘warm meal’ had been a stretch, even by his standards. He’d only found solace in the fact that the Spartan held just as many deep, dark secrets as he did.

The bards don’t mention the Spartan’s unyielding rage or how the sorcerer sustains himself, do they?

A fresh smirk graced his features as he left the small room and made his way out into the streets. Aside from a few smiles and handshakes, his walk to the garrison was uneventful. His shift was just as boring as they had been, with the commander having him do rounds of the battlements with the greenest of the recruits. While he had nothing against forced chat with awkward, uncomfortable men in their late teens, Shang had no love for the reanimated corpses that patrolled the top of the city walls. A man who valued his charisma just as much as his hands or a sword, he hated how they lacked features or even the ability to speak. The way they watched him made him uneasy, because he could never be certain what they were thinking—if they were thinking anything at all.

The skeletons also made the recruits uneasy, but that was certainly for other reasons. It was quite possible they might have a loved one or a neighbor among the walking corpses that guarded their city.

As he returned from the last patrol before lunch, Shang was taken aback to see the Spartan walk through the far door of the common room. Looking a little battered, the Spartan strode right over to him and shook his hand.

“Hello, Shang, it has been a while.” The Spartan said as the sorcerer noticed that there seemed to be a skull jutting up from the Spartan’s shoulder.

“I’ll be sure to tell you later,” Atelos remarked when he saw the other man’s gaze fall to the deformity.

“Alright, well the commander needs to see you. Nice having you back Spartan." Atelos gave a firm nod and headed off to their superior’s office. Shang made his wait out from the garrison and into the town’s streets, where he waited for Atelos to return. The Spartan did so a few minutes later, wearing the same medal awarded to Shang last week.

“Looks like we’re officially a part of this place,” Shang remarked, eliciting a firm nod from his companion. “People talk. A lot. I don’t know how your walk was on your way into this place, but once word of your return spreads, you can expect a lot of attention.”

“Is it the same for you?”

“Yes, but I haven’t been off fighting demons for a week.”

Atelos frowned. “I didn’t say that’s what I had to do.”

“I did,” Shang said with a smirk. “It’s good for your image.” The remark caused the Spartan to grunt and roll his eyes. “Now then, why don’t we go have a drink, and you can tell me what you really did in your time away from this place.”

Omniwood has released some new info of some of the shows and movies that are coming in the next few months.

Excitement is high with the upcoming release of Law and Orker. Audiences are waiting with bated breath to see what the directors of such programs like Professor Why and Mount Parrot and the Quest of the Silver Fork might churn out with their latest show. However, the biggest appeal is the main stars and executive producers, Anthony Lomonaco and Urgh Gholorz.
Urgh was an orc stage actor from Camelot. Faced with oppression, he hit the Nexus to find something new. What he found was Anthony, a newly taken prime at the time. The two would come up with the concept that would make the spine of Law and Orker. A chance encounter with Omniwood execs would change their worlds in one night, and their ideas were set in motion.
The show follows the titular characters as they solve crimes while dealing with the differences of their races. The directors’ claim they’ve shot all over the Omniverse and the many sights and sounds of the different verses will serve as the backdrop for what is a complex crime drama.
We eagerly await the premiere of Law & Orker when it comes out in the coming weeks.

The show Prime of Life created by the prolific Jenkins siblings is sold to explore the line between Primes and Secondaries. It’s a comedy sitcom following a prime husband, his secondary wife, and their secondary kids. They promise the show will explore what it means to be a family in the Omniverse while poking light natured fun at the concept.
The show was set to premier spring of last year, but a number of actors quit during shooting for currently unknown reasons. The project delayed even further when the youngest of the siblings, Leroy died in temple raid last fall. Despite the set backs, the show creators promise that it won’t affect overall quality. In fact, they claim the additional time in production has allowed them to really think what family means to them.
Prime of Life is set to premiere sometime in Spring.

Media has been a buzz about the new horror flick coming out this weekend, Grow. The film follows a 12-year-old who is magically turned into a 25-year-old. Camelot sends the horrible dementors to consume his soul because they want to suppress the magic he apparently has. So it’s a race to escape to the safety of the Empire as all manner of evil come from the shadows to get him.
The Coruscant Film Company produced the film and it leans heavily on the star power of its lead actor, Johnson Jones, who’s featured prominently in most film posters and commercials. So much so that many test audiences had no idea what the film was about before they saw it.
“I think the mystique of the film comes from the fact that you don’t know what it’s about going in,” claims film’s director Steve Paul. “I mean, if you don’t know dementors were going to be featured prominently, you wouldn’t be able to mentally prepare yourself. I mean, everyone’s afraid of dementors. That’s why no one goes to Camelot anymore.”
Grow will premiere on the Dataverse this coming weekend.
