Excerpt
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Midas looked around only to hear those restless voices grow louder and louder. All the anger and frustration that the people around him were withholding finally found a way out. The vent was the green skinned lifeform that calmly stood in front of everyone in the square. Agitated people started crowding menacingly around the lifeform, almost as if they would be overcome with violence. 

"Wait, Wait, What the fuck are you talking about? We don't know who or what you are, and we don't care!"
"Yeah! We wanna go home!"
"Let us out!"
"Yeah! You better let us leave or else we'll f"

*BOOM*

Right on sight, the heads of twenty odd people who were moving forward seemingly with the intent of stirring trouble all had their heads simultaneously explode. Jets of red blood squirted up from the exposed necks of those people, while the insides of their heads colored the outerwear of the bystanders around them. The steamy red blood immediately created a suffocating atmosphere. Screams and profanities abound as people attempted to move as far away from that green "demon". Some fell over on top of each other, crushing others in the process, others fell on the floor hyperventilating. A piece of flesh landed on Midas' face, but he hadn't even noticed as he was now trying to calm his heart rate while looking around trying to figure out if there was a way he could get away from this situation.

"STOP!!", yelled the green lifeform while exuding a terrifying atmosphere about it, and immediately all in the area lost their ability to move or even speak. Midas had never felt such fear in his entire life. Every molecule of DNA in his body was telling him that at that moment in time, his life wasn't in his hands. All he could do was stay still and watch the green lifeform while his ears throbbed with the sound of his own racing heartbeat.

"Now that I have your attention, let me continue with my explanation. I will explain this once and once only. The planetary body that you lower beings call 'Earth' has Awakened, and thus it has attained it's right to undergo Planetary Ascension. You all have been chosen by your planet and your performance from now on will determine what will happen to your home planet. If you succeed a whole new Universe will open up to you. Knowledge, and Wisdom that will teach you Evolution. However, If you fail, your planetary body will have it's right of existence revoked... That is … Death."

"..."

None of the Chosen could say anything at that moment, but their expressions held visions of disbelief, excitement, confusion and despair. Right then, there was a high pitched sound and almost immediately everyone realised that they could now move again. Many fell on the floor from their muscle strain and tense emotional states but that did not stop the green lifeform from continuing it's speech. 

"Well, it seems we're all on the same page. Now, let's begin the 7 Trials."

A Chosen's Ascension: The Path To Omniscience

The blindingly bright beams of energy streaked through the air, violently sending out a flash as they headed for their marks, the Titans that were fighting on the battlefield.

The first two shots sizzled in the air as they bored deep into the Reptilian Guardian's body, while the third somehow found itself slicing through the already heavily wounded Draconic Python, severing it in two.

Midas' heart leapt in triumph, as he heard the pained roars of the two who despite turning to face his direction, never really let go of paying attention to each other. Midas quickly tempered his emotions.

Even if the two were now heavily injured and possibly close to death, Midas knew better than to count his chickens before they hatched. This battle was far from over.

The Killing Blow!
