Chapter 3 : The Ascent - King’s visage

The man Stared intensely at the portal , it was constructed from interlocking arches of writhing tek , shaped and molded like vines and cacti , between the two largest rings was a vertical sheet of orange energy - quickly turning a deep violet - sparks flew off the energy as it twisted like a cyclone - an eerie sound of silence filled the air , the shifting sands flowing almost scared of the portal - a roar sounded from the other side and the figure rose his hand - about 30 longneck rifles trained on the glowing gateway , a nasal horn edged through - and bullets were sent loose - the nose retreated but returned with a earkilling screech that would scare a saddled mammoth -

‘Oh cr–’ the figure’s authoritative pose was interrupted as he drew a revolving fabricated pistol ,

Gun shot rand rang out as a large armoured head broke the portal - troops with spears forming a barricade the head - the man gawked all hope of control shattered - the head of the creature emerging from the the energy was easily 12 ft long - about 3ft longer than a rexes - it was decorated with a crown of spikes with a glossy membrane connecting the tip to its head

‘Sir what is that’ two of his elite soldiers ran past a 5’3 soldier with a prosthetic arm and a behemoth 7’5 man with a ballistic TEK shield ‘ King - if you do not kill that thing i will you’ the short one roared as he chucked a javelin at the beast and ducked behind the shield the figure didn't understand why they hid though the beast was only half out the portal -

The man who you may of guessed to be the fabled king our hero served - kept shooting and cussing as nothing drew blood from the beast in the portal , he couldn’t risk sending troops to the portal or he’d have to wait 5 minutes or so for them to arrive at the aberration - as he contemplated risking a legion’s life he noticed a banner poking through the portal - it was familiar but not , whilst his empire flew a black flag marked with a silver yutyrannus skull - the ferrous tyrannus - this flew a dark purple background torn to ribbons with the faded form of the black skull of the emerging creature -

‘ Hold fire ‘ the king roared as his troops froze - backing up slowly ,

‘T-t-that is your baron’ he was nervous as the creature’s large left leg broke threw the portal ‘get to position to greet a noble’ his soldiers scrambled to position still scared sh*** from the unnamed creature ripping his tail from the portal - like his head it was decorated with spikes and membrane the length of his back and thighs —
