Erunion, now unmeasurable old, strode up and down, up and down inside his laboratory. His assistants too were nervous. Erunion had a renowned temper.

Finally, Erunion made his decision and walked out of the lab, stepped into his personal hovercraft and zipped over to the palace. He knew something was going wrong with the world and was willing to offer his services to the Emperor, coming out of thousands of years of obscurity.

{I am not immortal and never was immortal. The Tigarians made me age very, very, very slowly. Right now, I look (and feel) like I'm in my mid-to-late forties.
Also, modern science + Magic = leetness! :P}

[Very very slow? This is thousands of years in the future, man! Xerxus would live longer than you!]

[Thats some insane magic.....it would kill almost everyone. More like 1 year everyone 100 years....because if my guy is dieing/dead then yours should also be.]

{Yes, it was some insane magic... All the Tigarian shamans cast it on me in gratitude for my bringing peace to their land.}

"Greetings, old friend! How is your body keeping these days?"

[[OOC: You became mortal, and your reflexes and body was limited to that of mortal limitations...]]

"It is good, Drakonian magic is quite strong...", said Septim the Dragonheart, "Apparantly Tigarian magic was good too, too bad the Serpentians and them killed eachother...now it's just humans, Elves, and Drakonians..."

[[OOC: The Orcs and Trolls also killed eachother until there was only one orc and one troll, the orc won and died many years later with no mate...]]

[[OOC: Dragons can live until they are about 20,000 years old! Jeeze, and plus my guy conquered you all when you went missing, Xerxus is MORTAL, no immortal powers at all, he couldn't destroy anything more than a mortal could in a second, so no, you wouldn't. Validus Septim gave control of the Eraborian Empire to his father because it is his by right. Validus died five thousand years ago and the line ran until the newest member, Gorris Septim, whom is the Duke of Oceanus. Erunion has his explanation, and plus, you ARE A MORTAL! With the destruction of the essence of immortals, immortality and all powers associated with it disappeared, rendering Xerxus mortal, so let me ask you this, how did YOU survive?]]

[Xerxus is still a bit ahead of you all in battle. Immortal only means that you can live forever. By himself Xerxus can live thousands of years. You still aren't thinking of how everyone on Erebus hates your guts :P]

Septim leads his guests inside and talks for a while, and soon after crisi*beep*s, the saucer was a scout, the real force attacks. Thousands of ships attack, destroying much, the jets cannot destroy them. The remaining Drakonians do little better before Septim calls them back, they are close enough to extinction as it is. Septim's manages to destroy a few with the blade of Erabor, and send them away, but not for long, meanwhile the scientists have reverse engineered the engines and hardware of the small scout ship and have made a squadron of small aircraft capable of space travel...

The pilots are trained in the new ships and sent out on raids while more ships are made.

Red is the megacity Erabor, blue is the massive city of Mightos, and grey is the city of Telcus. The whole world is again under my rule, and Dukedoms aren't allowed as much freedom as before because it was as if they were being independently ruled. Airships are obsolete, they were good for their time though Might. Eskillia is now so cold that it isn't marked on the map, no form of life lives there, the Eskillians have long since moved to either Serpentia or Trolleria. Xeris would have grown had it not been destroyed in the demon wars by Jonas Topal. I will now give a long plotline of the God War.

The Gods attack and take back Septim's power, Septim escapes barely. Afterwards he goes to Oceanus where a resistance is mounting with the ever so condescending Xerxus, the wise Emperor Telcontar, Emperor Topal whom is scarred after seeing his wife and son killed and devoured by a demon, and Validus Septim. Septim is killed by Topal after an arguement, but he manages to defeat projections of the Gods he had slain and escape the real Airos, he retakes his body and stops Validus from fighting Topal. Soon after Topal forgives Septim and takes his own life, wishing to be with his family, but finds that Airos will not let him see his family in the void without becoming his General after the assassination of his previous one. Topal agrees and is outfitted in demonic armor and given a new sword, Bloodfang. He begins his march towards Oceanus while Septim and the others fend off multiple attacks. After fending off the last one they drive into the mainland and are slaughtered by Topal's army, they return and Septim decides to descend into the cave of Ersos and speak with the planet itself. After going there, Ersos agrees that he will side with the mortals if, after the war, the immortal essence be destroyed so that no more wars of this magnitude shall ravage his surface, Septim agrees and goes into the mainland once more, earthquakes and storms shatter the demonic army, and the mortal army marches towards Erabor. Topal and his army meets them, a mighty battle takes place, but Validus manages to defeat Topal in one on one combat, and without a strong leader the battle begins to go well for the mortals. Mastros, Airos, and Creatos go forth in preparation to destroy the army, but their powers are taken by Ersos. They decide to fight without their Godly powers and Septim ends up fighting his father, Mastros, Telcontar fights Airos, and Xerxus fights Creatos. After a lengthy battle in the palace, Septim finally manages to destroy Mastros in his dragon form, and at that time, Xerxus destroys Creatos and Telcontar and his men destroy Airos. The immortal essence forms on top of the Eraborian Grand Palace and Septim runs to the top to find Xerxus walking towards the essence, wishing to become a God. Suddenly, Ersos tremors and Xerxus stumbles. Septim runs forward and takes the power, Ersos reminds Septim of the deal, and Septim gives up ultimate power for the good of humanity. All demons, harpies, and every other immortal creatures turn into humans, including Xerxus, and Validus gives rule to his father, whom is known as Septim the Selfless for giving up his Godly power instead of taking it back. Xerxus returns to Mightaria and rules for a short while before disappearing, Telcontar does the same, and Erabor conquers the land once more, and peace, only broken in short intervals, carries on for five thousand years...

The Migharian Wars

Xerxus did return, however, and discovered Mightaria to be in the hands of Septim. Xerxus gathered an army and attacked, and Septim, in the lead of the Drakonian Army, destroyed the Dragonships, earning Septim the new name, Septim the Dragonheart. The Eraborian Army destroys the Mightarian Army, and Xerxus, saddened by his lack of power, began to travel the world.

[[OOC: After I deal with aliens of course...:-P ]]

[[OOC: After seeing demons massacre their families and friends, they didn't like you very much...I wouldn't either...]]

Twenty four more fighters are produced which leads to researching the frigate class ship. Septim begins flight training in a space combat simulator.

[[OOC: In our world they don't, but is this a game where we politically analyze worldwide Empires that miraculously started from scratch and managed to pretty much conquer the entire world through miraculous means, and seemingly has no war exaustion or loss of morale? NO! We are just here for the hell of it, and I give the people sufficient freedom, but no say in the government, they can buy, trade, sell, own weapons, say what they want, and I will not kill or arrest them, but if they begin a rebellion I take action...]]

The first corvette is completed, it is called the Killer after King Killer of the old kingdom of Killaria. It has six swivel guns that provide maximum coverage, it is more heavily armored than fighters, but it is not as agile, the best pilot, Baron Frederick von Richton, is picked to fly it. Two hundred fighters are produced by a new way of building them, and pilots are trained faster. Septim forms a new squadron, Dragon Squadron, from the fastest and best of the Eraborian pilots. They manage to win several battles with minimal losses before a new space Empire contacts the Eraborian Division 39 headquarters with a message.

"People of Ersos, we are the Dylessians, enemies of the ones attacking you called Revosians, we will help you fight them if you let us, if you think you are winning by yourself, you are wrong. This is only an inexperienced scout team, the Revosian Main Fleet is on it's way, and with it enough firepower to level your entire planet...", said the message translated from an old language in the databanks, a message is sent back through radio waves, "Of course we would like your help, we'd prefer not to be leveled..."

***

Two hours later, a fighter carrying Emperor Septim the Dragonheart goes to the Dylessian capital ship, he lands in a hangar and is greeted by several tall, slender creatures resembling humans, they hold staffs that seem ceremonial, but could probably be used in combat situations if the need arose. They escort Septim to large meeting room where one of them approaches him.

"Hello Sept-Um", said the alien, "I am Dov Usev of the Dylessian Navy", he said.

Septim knowns not how to greet him, but the alien rises bows, and Septim does the same.

"For many years we have been watching your Empire and you, it is impressive how you managed to conquer your planet in such few years, but space is a large place, much larger than your planet, over a hundred space Empires inhabit the universe at this time, we are one of them, but fortunately for you, the second most powerful, the Revosians are the first...", said Dov.

"How do you know our language?", asked Septim.

"As I said, we have been watching you, humans are the least fit species for space combat, you can't even breath out there, yet you adapt to situations so quickly that it amazes us, legends say that you even ended the rule of Gods", said Dov.

"We did, but that is not why I am here, the Revosians are assaulting our planet, what weapons do you have?", asked Septim.

"We are not warriors, Septim, but traders, we are economic, not militant, but we have another way to help you...have you ever heard of computer viruses?", asked Dov.

"Of course", said Septim.

"We infect their mothership with a virus, and their entire fleet is rendered useless, we ask that all you give in return for this virus is your laser technology...", said Dov.

"Our lasers are developed using a human ability called magic, now, can you use magic?", asked Septim.

"Magic? Oh heavens no! That is also why we are so interested in you people! You can conjured fires from your hands! Do you know how amazed our scientists became when Archonis first did that?", asked Dov.

[[OOC: Archonis was the first mage...]]

"I can give you something better", said Septim as he drew a dagger from his belt, he slid it across the table to Dov.

"That is Thundos, a dagger used by a good mage, it is enchanted, maybe you can research it...", said Septim.

"That's a deal", said Dov as he slid an envelope across the table with a small computer chip in it. Septim rises and walks out to his ship, he gets in and flies back to Ersos where he gives the computer chip to his scientists.

"Format it to fit the Revosian computers we found on their ships", said Septim.

{I'm in!}
