Arc Chronicles Euphemia VI
Euphemia VI"You should contact the court," Daliah said, writing in her notebook. In the distance, I could see smoke rising from across Bayard. One, two three, four different spots. Four different spots, four different bombing sites."I'm sorry, contact the homeland? Why?" Did Dahlia want to report me? The bombings had happened under my watch, so it was my responsibility. What would my father think when he heard? If he hadn't already. The city was crawling with OSI agents, eager to report back to my father."We will need a design for your personal crest. Your Highness, this is something you should have finished by now."... "Don't you think that can wait? With the bombing-""If we put this off, it will not get done. We need to put in an order quickly. Once we return to the palace, I will need a telegram. I will summon a court artist from the capital."I shook my head. Sometimes I wondered if Dahlia had her head screwed on right. "Now isn't the time for paintings and crests," I said, v

Euphemia VIIThe tag looked a little... Childish. Okay, maybe that was the wrong word. Not childish, per se, but close to the gang tags that spray-painted cross Aquroya before the city council put a stop to it at my father's request.They looked like gang tags, not something I would not associate with supposed freedom fighters. The NGLF was far from a gang. According to some reports, the NGLF didn't just engage in radical movements, but they had taken the role of police onto themselves and had cracked down on criminals. From the petty to the big fish our justice system released."Mr. Ordel?"The police commissioner or chief or whatever he was called was red face. He was sweating like a pig and was whipping his forehead with a handkerchief. "Yes, Your Highness.""I've read reports about the NGLF acting like vigilantes."For some reason, he went redder. "They are radicals. Criminals rebelling against Aquitaine.""That much is clear. What was unclear was the vigilante activities mentione
Arc Chronicles Euphemia VIII
Euphemia VIIII dreamed I was in Aquroya. The capital stretched out as far as the eye could see, the city dominating the landscape. I was overlooking Aquroya from the throne, watching my empire, which the sun never set on. I was the Empress of Aquitaine, and all the power in the world was at my fingertips."Your Highness?" someone was shaking me awake. I cracked my eyes open, seeing one of the palace servant girls. shaking me. She looked nervous. When yelped when she saw my eyes opened and bowed at the waist. "Please, forgive me, Your Highness. Dahlia instructed me to wake you up?"I shook my head. I should never have agreed to take her into my service. She's been nothing but a pain in my arse since day one. "Why?""It's the ball, Your Highness. It starts at twelve."I looked over at the desk next to my huge bed. The clock ticked 7:06. "That's in five hours."The servant girl looked sheepish. "I'm sorry, she said that you have a bad habit of noting getting up when you're supposed to,
Arc Chronicles Calixte VIII
Calixte VIIIThe hunger was abuzz with activity. It wasn't just their hanger either; all the hangers were preparing for the invasion of New Siberia. The first part of the invasion would be an airstrike to damage all the defense around the border. Oyashima was allowing them to fly through their airspace if I met with the prince when I got back. It wasn't exactly a meeting I was looking forward to. Another wife? I had two of them and they didn't seem to want to get along, but I was given no choice in the matter. That was part of the deal.It was a hot summer day in Acadia and the last thing I wanted to do was fly an air raid. I'd rather be in Karafuto Prefecture with Princess Kaya and her underage. Karafuto had a resort town with lots of pools and swimming sounded good right about now. Or hell, maybe I could go to Port Royale and swim in Alphonse's family pool. He had made the offer and I should have taken him up on it. It was a little too late now, given the situation I was in, but oh
Arc Chronicles The Chauffeur
The ChauffeurI would be moving between the battlefield and Karafuto in the days to come. My father wanted me in public with Princess Kaya as much as possible, but at the same time, he wanted to be in front of the camera for the war effort. It sounded a little conflicting to me; how was I supposed to be in two places at once, but my father never met a problem that could stop him.So I would be flow in between the battlefields and the capital of Karafuto as often as possible, to spend a few days in both. I thought my squad would be mad, but they would get time off while I was away playing Aquitese prince. That seemed to satisfy everyone on my team. Everyone but Rolo, that was."Are you kidding me? Why do you get to go off and play prince while I have to stay here?" he demanded when I told Sunrise Squadron."Because he's a prince and you're not," Alphonse said in a bored voice."That's not fair!"Alphonse snorted. "Since when is life fair? Calixte is a prince, so he gets special treatme
Arc Chronicles Calixte IX
Calixte IXI dreamed I was back in my warplane, flying over the desert of Morocco, the golden dunes extending as far as the eye could see. Below me, a battle was raring. Strangely enough, the skies above the battle were empty. It was a crystal blue sky with white clouds scattered through the endless azure.Then suddenly she was there, my enemy. She a better ace and it was everything I could do to avoid dying in my sudden new battle. The sky had turned into a death zone and I wished that I was on the ground, in the safety of the trenches, far away from my enemy. As far away from her as I could be.She appeared at my left flank and fired. Her bullets shattered my shields and ripped through my wing. The Jupiter Engine safety features kicked in and I was ejected from the plane, a powerful shield protecting me from the fireball that it had become.As I fell, she had come back around for me. My enemy was there, barreling through the sky towards me. Her guns were aimed at me. The shield that
Arc Chronicles Interlude
Interlude: AdolphAdolph Hitler was not having the best of days. The first thing that morning, he dreamed he was the ruler of a powerful Prussia, only the nation was called Germany, for some reason. They were the Germanic people, so he could understand where it came from, but the rulers of Prussia that negotiated and conquered the other nation had been too proud of their heritage to rename their country.He had been the leader of a party that had been great at the start and turned around this Germany. It remained him of the State Socialist Party, but it had more of an iron grip on Germany, whereas the state socialists were battling the monarchists for absolute control. Though the State Socialists controlled his home country.That was before the other powers of the world turned on them and crushed Germany underfoot. It was a world without magic, so it had to be a dream. Adolph wanted it to be a dream. He had taken his own life, instead of letting the Roslachnians capture him. After wha
Arc Chronicles Henri - Hans
Interlude: Henri Arc Part 1When the Prussian Ambassador called upon me, I almost declined. I knew it was coming, the OSI didn't have to warn me. I could see the writing on the wall. The State Socialists' grip on Prussia was beginning to loosen. The communists had been agitating for months on end, and even though they had stamped out major communist resistance, the Kaiser loyalist forces had come and taken their place. They had made themselves even more of a nuisance than the communists if that was possible. Given that they had declared war on The People's Union of Roslachny, it was their timing more than the failure of the communist insurgence organization.The Kaiser Loyalists had two advantages the communists lacked: the first was the war with Roslachny over their former African colonies. The State Socialists will have to direct resources that were free when the communists were agitating and focus them on the big communists.The second the last Kaiser's popularity had been shattere

Arc Chronicles Volume 1: Finale
Calixte Arc: FinaleThe plan was simple: divide and conquer. Once we finished dealing with the Roslachnian soldiers, it was a simple matter of planning the attack. Because of the vision, she showed me, I knew where to find that room and we were going in guns blazing.Bian and Alphonse were in first, charging power to their shield gems. The hail of gunfire was deflected from the shields and all the focus was on them.Rolo and Sasha followed, making another loud entrance, to draw the rest of their attention.I was sneaking in last. As the room was filled with the sounds of bullets and magic, I sprinted in under the power of a cloaking spell. It should have been called a camouflage spell because that's what it did. In the chaos of the assault, no one was going to notice me sneaking in.The plan played out perfectly. As I slinked in pressing myself to the wall, I looked around for her. For my enemy.

The passanger
We were supposed to board the plane at three, but we didn't get on the damn plane until five. Five o'clock, TWO HOURS after we were supposed to board. We should have been in the air by that point, but Charles de Gaulle airport was never the most efficiently run place.As we were at last allowed to board, I took one last look at the City of Lights. In terms of architecture, Paris was my favorite city in the world. I didn't get to visit often and I realized I was going to miss it. The three days of relaxation had gone by in a flash and I wished I could stay just a little bit longer. It was a very beautiful city and these days I never had many chances to relax.My life was my job. At least my sacrifice was about to pay off...***"Of course, sir. Please, enjoy the complimentary-"I waited for her to continue, but she didn't. My eyes were on the Paris skyline, but her silence drew me over. She was standing by my chair, holding the wine bottle. She was frozen. Not moving."Enjoy the compli

Calixte Arc
Calixte ArcAs the world swam around me, I was jolted back into a familiar scene. One that had happened less than an hour ago. This was the freshest memory I had ever gone back to.The dark figure formed a black ink sword out of its arm. It was large and bulky, and it pointed it at us. Before I could react, the creature leaped forward. Despite how bulky his sword was, it moved like a fucking ghost. Before I could defend myself, it was right in front of me. Its sword-arm gleamed in the light and he struck me in the chest full on.The question was, how did I get into this memory? The woman in that room must have been the one assailing me, but how did she do it? It had felt like she forced a spike of ice into my head and then I was here.That mental assault was more powerful than anything I have ever felt from her. I didn't know she had that amount of force. If she had... If she had... Why didn't use it before?I found out the creature was made of mana because my shield gem flickered to

Master Shadow - Calixte Arc
Master ShadowShe glared at the man in white, hunched over his crystal ball. She hated that she had to rely on him, but without his guidance, they'd be blind. Still, it didn't sit right with her."Where are they?" she demanded of him. Master Shadow had half a mind to run over and peer into the ball herself, but she didn't have the spells to work it. So she was left standing there, waiting."They just left the room," he said quickly. He didn't want to draw her anger, which proved he had a brain in his head."Where are the prince and the other one going?""They're heading towards the other intruders."Master Shadow rubbed her chin. They wanted to link up, did they? Her instinct wasn't to allow that, but it might be better. If she could cripple the prince in dreams and memories...But she had already tried that. He was resisting and the protection he put around his mind was strong. She could pierce him one more time, but after that, she wouldn't have enough power left. One last time and

The Inspector
The InspectorAs he was brought into the room, Inspector Calares watched him closely. The young man sat down with that calm demeanor of someone sure they weren't going to be executed. It wasn't an act and that surprised him more than anything else. If he was in that young man's position, he wouldn't have been able to remain so calm.If this interview went poorly, if the higher-ups decided he was guilty, Sanctus wouldn't just kill him. He'd be subjected to tortore as a tratior to the People's Union, a fate arguably as bad as hell. Of course, they would never send his soul to hell. The Party went to great lengths to ensure their people had a frame of reference to what happened to traitors.This man would be made an example of and Inspector Calares sure as he didn't want to be the one to send him there, but he had a job to do. If he failed, they'd turn their sight on him.The young man didn't say anything. He just grinned. Inspector Calares didn't meet his eyes at first. He picked up his

Calixte Arc
Calixte ArcThe enchanted bullet struck through the shadow, but I didn't have much time to admire my handy work. I thought I clamped down on my mind with iron, but the force drawing me back into my memories came back with a vengeance. The world swam again and drifted into the misty reality of my mind and my memories...Only it wasn't my memories. I could tell by the context of the misty world that there were memories. I was all too familiar with this state of mind now, but as the mist swirled around me and became solid form, I was in a room I recognized.Only because I was just there when I followed the source of these attacks back. This was the room of the woman who was orchestrating the memory attacks on me.She channeled her mana into the crest, watching as the Aquitaine team slowly surrounded the trap.As more plans landed and they were forced to retreat, the watcher brought her mirror up. She channeled her mana into it, creating a two-way reflection with her team."Commander.""W

At that moment, it truly looked like the grime reaper ready to begin its bloody work.The world turned to slow motion as the shadow swung its scythe. I aimed, looking down the sights at the monster about to reap my teammate.I channeled my mana into the bullet. I had to shoot now, or that thing would kill him- the world started to spin. No! Not now. I had to keep my eye on the prize and save Alphonse.I pulled the trigger before the memory could suck me in."You're probably right.""Calixte... Calixte and Tanya. Why are you so familiar?""Rolo, pin him down for me, will you? My arm's getting tired.""Roger."I took a deep breath and kept my arm in the same position. I closed my eyes and in an explosion of light, I was back in the real world.The monster cut through Alphonse's shoulder, but the wound didn't look deep. Or life-threatening. Alphonse fell to the ground, but that was just to rol

Shadow Master - Calixte
Shadow MasterShe watched as the prince blinked out of existence, not that he was truly there to start with. He had followed her mind back here, something she hadn't planned for. The boy was talented, but he was still new to the effects in the grand scheme of things. He shouldn't have been able to follow her."That boy." If she wasn't so furious, Shadow Master might have been impressed. As it stood, she was going to make him pay. He should have kept his guard up the whole time because she has a small point in his mind.With her shadow attaching him, the prince didn't have the time to stroll down memory lane. She'd throw him back into one of the memories he'd already experienced. Sure, he'd resist, but with that monster coming at him...She set the shadow to kill. She no longer cared what Emer Gallagher wanted. If the girl became a problem, Shadow Master would use the shadow to end her life as well. The Central Party couldn't fault her. Emer Gallagher was a hired assassin, nothing more
