Artifact 3 back up

   Among the trees of an eternally blissfully spring like land there is a tiny village whose houses are scattered among rice fields and peach orchards; in silhoutte the people here look to be humans with tiny antlers upon their brows. However upon closer inspection one sees blue skinned people who in face and movement seem more deerlike than human; their eyes those of goats, their clothing sown from silvery threads, men and women alike thin in build and wearing skirts and small tops barely covering their chests.

   On this day a small group of them, adults only, are gathered at the large dirt road leading from the village, up a hill by the edge of the woods. Gathered there with enough carts of rice and peaches to feed a small city. They stand silent as at the edge of the woods where the dirt road meets a paved metal like road a massive silvery craft approaches, hovering over the ground. It stops at the edge of the road and from it disembark fifteen men in silver high tech armor with pointed edges and sharp joints, helmets looking designed more intimidate than any practical purpose. They escort three individuals wearing armor that is adorned with shape concealing robes that fan out like curtains giving them an unnatural, spectral apperance; an indented top T-shape visor on their helmets where as the others with them have only small slit like eyes.

   The three men carry staffs that they wave over the food stuffs, a blue light scanning it all. One turns to the fifteen guards, "Take it all" his voice booms.

  "But sir!" says one of the deer like women without thinking.

   Everyone is silent, heads turned towards her, a look of shock and horror in her eyes as she covers her own mouth with both hands.

   "What does it want?" asks one of the robed men.

   None of the other villagers speak and take a step back from her, one male having to forcefully pull the arm of the female that had been standing closest to her.

  "I think it wants to join the rest of the food," says one of the guards.

   "Rice and fruit," says another, "we need more meat."

   Her eyes are wide in horror.

  The robed men stand, "Very well, this one will work for the meat part of the offering. We were going to ignore that, given the sheer volumne here, but livestock should not..."

   A bolt of lightning strikes the man dead on the spot.

   "I have read your souls!" comes a woman's voice echoing from above.

   "What is this!?" screams a guard as he draws a gun, a bolt of lightning then striking him dead as well.

   From nothing a figure appears, a woman clad in blue and silver form fitting armor with ridges on the gloves and boots; her face covered by a silver curved mask like a simple shield for her face with only two almond shaped eyes with a blue glow inside them. Her hair is long and blue with silver tip, her back adorned by a long blue cape as well.

   She points at them, "Survivors, tell me would you actually eat the flesh of a sapient being? These farmers?"

   "Whomever you are," says one of the two remaining robed men as the fourteen guards pull their guns, "do not interfere, for we are emmissaries of the gods of the great walls, sent to gather,"

  "Yes or no,"

  "Kill her!" shouts the other robed man.

  The yellow bolts fired from the guns do nothing as the figure *zips* between the blasts, landing among them, striking with a fury of fists and kicks that send the guards flying about, their armors dented and cracked. She lifts one and peels the helmet off revealing a broken and bleeding man.

  She lifts the man, her fingers actually crunching the metal of his armor behind his neck to the villagers, "Mortal creatures, these are no more divine than you yourselves."

   The villagers are stunned silent, the woman who had spoken speaks again, "We know, champion, b...but, in these lands they serve the gods of the wall, if we do not give them offerings, sacrifice, the gods will punish us."

   "That's right!" shouts one of the two robed men, "you step out of line champion! Return to which ever golden land you wandered out of!"

   "No," says the other, "tell us your identification, we cannot overlook some wandering champion coming here unannounced causing us trouble."

   The woman tosses the man to the ground and *laughs*, the sound thunders through the trees, "Champions! These outfits? Who runs this mess of asteroids posing as a planet? You sound like those idiotic Dimension Police and their ridicilous attempts to immitate the Inferverse."

   "A stranger," whispers one of the robed men, he points his staff at her, "Whom ever you, you are outside your jurisdiction, and will be evicted at once!"

   They raise their staffs, a blus pulse of light emanating from it, the deer like people hide their faces, the men on the ground vanish in the light, teleported, but the woman remains.

  She walks up to them, grabs their staffs and simply by compressing her fists crushes them so completetly as to pinch the tops off.

   "I am a god," she whispers and blasts them pointing blank with bolts of lightning from her hands; their steaming bodies lying on the ground. With her claw like gauntlets she peels the door open of the transport and tosses them inside. She flies to the front of it, aims her hand at it and says, "Telekinetic Hold" and lifts the craft into the air, "Telekinetic Thrust." and sends the craft flying over the trees to crash many miles away at the giant bay doors of the massive many miles high silver wall surprising the guards there.

   The villagers stare in fear as the woman turns towards them. She approaches the one deer woman who spoke before, "If you would, where am I? What is this place? What was...all that about with the sacrifice techno wizard assholes and cannabalism stuff; and who did I just declare war on exactly?"
