The Horseman's Culling
Community Rating
Description
After millennia of normalcy, a primal change came over the earth. A horde of gigantic drills burst through the earth’s crust all over the surface, punching a hole out into the light of day. From these dark chasms, creatures of fiction sprung out into a world that has never known magic or monsters. There was no warning, there was no gloating from some deity figure or system notifications designed to give humanity a fighting chance. There was only unbridled chaos and slaughter, as most of humanity’s technology no longer worked.Deep in the dark void of space, nestled within the huge mass of dirty ice known as Halley’s Comet, an ancient guardian noticed the change on Earth while in its perihelion approach to the Sun.On that day, Týr returned to the realms of mortal men.Warning: Rated 18+

- HexwolfxRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0I found your series an hour ago and love it keep up the great work
- callmesteveRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0I have to say that this is an interesting one. It's too short for me to comment on it much, but I have to say that the poison apple idea is a still a nice touch, despite its ancient origins.
I wonder why these creatures all match those of stories (in-world reasoning, at least) yet predate them without any real human awareness of their existence.
Hopefully the Horseman finds a way to get his powers back. Maybe a slow-recharging form with a lower maximum cap? While magic is all well and good, their Powered appearance is too cool to let fade. Immortality will also have to be on the plate for later. Perhaps they'll find some way to do that with magic, since that's at least one thing their normal powers can't seem to do yet. Certainly Tyr has some things to learn about technology. Even if it does not work now, I can't imagine that the underlying mechanics have changed that much. Cell biology should have some analogue.
How on Earth did you come up with such an awesome description of a horse, anyway?
