The Tales of Infinia

Chapter 7: Voices of Rebellion

As both factions of Tecknotia and Arcania march with their armies for an unexpected grand clash in Darwin Harbor, another force readies itself to rise and step out of the shadows, a group of unlikely mages who will raise the banners of rebellion within Tecknotia.

Over the passage of time, almost unknown to the eyes of the Tecknotian Liberation Force was a faction of Etheran born within their nation. It truly defied their knowledge that a normal human can only give birth to another normal human. Theories were made, but were instantly wiped out from the board.

In a span of some years after the start of the skirmishes between the rivalling countries of this technological empire against Arcania, many of these mages came together under a mage named Luna Asphyx, a descendant from a long and twisted bloodline ages ago, and formed the Sentinels of Elluna.

After an incident, Luna Asphyx was killed by her own son by accident who was being manipulated by a group of the Liberation Force who knows of their existence.

Before dying, Luna handed her son the keys to open the labyrinth and therefore succeeding leadership over the whole rebellion. This was the beginning of how Lucas Asphyx, the Technomancer of Bullets changed the ultimate goal of the Sentinels. It was not about saving their own kind in Tecknotia anymore, it was about escaping this wretched land and gaining the freedom to be who they truly are.

At first, Lucas was loathed by a few of the elder etheran after he gained leadership over the Sentinels and was called "The Bloodtraitor". Eventually he revolted against the elder etheran who were secretly planning to shut down Lucas' ideals of an all-out rebellion against Tecknotia and reformed the Sentinels who were now mostly comprised of teenagers from different cities of Tecknotia.

As clouds pass over the full moon, lots of teenagers crept out of their houses, marking their door with a symbol only seen by those who possess etheren. Under the cover of night, they went inside the inner city, dozens and hundreds of teens of different ages.

Sneaking swiftly past guards and patrol officers, jumping on rooftops, blending under the shadows, they swarmed inside a building with a huge sign saying "Francesca's Café".

One by one, group by group, they went within the café where a woman in a maid outfit awaited those entering with a loving smile. Looking at each of the teens, scanning each one of them with a device she called an "Etheric Lens" which senses the magical presence of an individual.

Many of the passing teens seemed allured by her stunning outfit, but they knew they shouldn't do anything hasty. The maid was standing next to a huge custom-made rifle which can take down an entire twenty-story building.

To make sure the area wasn't too suspicious in the eyes of Tecknotian patrol, some teens were disguised as a patrol unit as well. Suited to look like one and trained to act like one.

After being verified by the heavily armed maid, each individual went at the back of the café by the kitchen area where they walked through a wall. Passing through the wall was where hundreds of young Etheran were gathered.

Inside were many other individuals, armed in custom-made protection suits and weapons. There were lots of murmurs flying about as they awaited the leader of their rebellion.

This location is hidden from the eyes of Tecknotia's forces, located in Infinia's mantle, The Labyrinth of Asphyxius, used by the druids of old and the Etheran of the fallen kingdom Alumar, constructed by none other than the Grand Sage Asphyxius.

Within one of the rooms of the labyrinth near where the young mages were gathered were three people, armed and ready for battle. Although they seemed geared up, they were very anxious about this plan for lots of fears and doubts surrounded them. They were awaiting something.
