Arc Chronicles Sir Edric Risley
Since Edric Risley was a boy, it had always been his dream to become a knight. He had been raised on the stories of great knights from across the history of Aquitaine. Men of Valor, such as Sir Mendal or Sir Rowell. Men of great renound. He had always wanted to be a knight, but his ambitions forced him to climb higher and higher.When the emperor selected him to be an Imperial Knight, Risley believed he made it. The Imperial Knights were the greatest knights in the empire, the personl tools of the empire. In glories past, they had determined the outcome of battles across history.What he found was not the glories of old. He was honro bound to do as the emperor commanded and while he fought when ordered, it wasn't just battles that he was commanded to do.He would spy and lie and even poison for the emperor. It was inglorious and he felt like he would die of shame if it all came out, but thankfully poisonings had only been ordered once. The emperor promised it was necessary and Risley
Arc Chronicles Calixte and Preview
Calixte Arc(Preview part after Calixte is from my story Strix)My shields flared to life as her gunfire struck me. However, unlike before, when she entered the cloud, she didn't know where I was. So when my shields came to life, I changed the system from the A1 over to the main system and unleashed the enchanted bullets.For the first time, I got to look at the A1 while it was activated. The piece glowed a soft red on the outside, so dull that I wouldn't be able to see it if I wasn't right next to it.I observed it just for a second before I turned to look at Emer. I slowed the memory down and zoomed in on her warplane. For now, I focused on the shield she was going to create. How long would it be before cracks started to appear?If I could figure out how fast those cracks appeared in comparison to how much mana I unleashed, I might be able to shatter her shields quicker.Three enchanted bullets later and her shields had shattered. Emer seemed to know how vulnerable she was because s

"I'm impressed, little boy," a voice said, coming over my radio. I grabbed my receiver. "Who is this?" I asked, but I already knew. She laughed. "I think you know, little boy. Honestly, when I first saw you, I thought it was going to be boring. But you put up a good fight. A much better fight than I assumed you could. I'm going, to be honest with you, my worthy enemy, I thought it would be over quickly. A pampered little prince playing sky knight? I figured I'd have you by lunch and I could get out of this hot hell." "You know who I am?" Was that why she kept but the chase? "You wanted to capture an Aquitese prince, was that it?" "Exactly. Those were my lord's orders, after all." "Why does Florentine want an Aquitese prince?" "Florentine doesn't want you. I don't serve Florentine. I'm here with them because of a deal struck." "What deal?" Was she a mercenary? "That is something I can't tell you. My lips are sealed. If you want that answer, you will need to speak to my lord."
Arc Chronicles General
"What!?" the general yelled, almost spitting out his coffee. "Are you sure?""Yes, sir! We confirmed it just now!"The general slammed his fist on the desk. "Have the mana lines been set up yet?""No sir!"The General almost spit. "Is Princess Victoria in radio range?""She might be.""Then run this by her. It's almost time for the operation to begin." It was little more than a week out. "Why thr hell is an Imperial Knight coming here?"The Imperial Knights served the Emperor. So if the Emperor had ordered them here...The General hated politics. That's why he became a soldier. If one of the Imperial Knights were coming...
Arc Chronicles Sir Risley
Sir RisleyAs his plane began to land, Risley took one last look over the New Siberian wilderness. The authorities back in Aquroya were going to name New Siberia Alaska when they won and make it a new country, to be handed over to the Romanovs.At first, Risley couldn't understand why they would do that. It was imperial police never to surrender land conquered. The land was bought with the blood of Aquitese subjects. Their very people. Any land bought with such a price was far too expensive to allow it to be given away.Sir Risley wasn't looking at the big picture though. It had to be pointed out to him. When the Romanovs were given Alaska, they would have to give up their claim to the Roslachnian throne. The Emperor had designs to put his son on the throne with the Roslachnian princess.That plan revolved on trusting Prince Calixte, so if he needed to trust his son, why was Sir Risley being deployed as a spy?As the plane touched down, a retinue from the general met him. "The general
Arc Chronicles Sir Risley
Sir RisleyThe door opened and a man with the biggest handlebar mustache Sir Risley had ever seen stood to greet him. The general was a huge, well build man that looked like he spent the entirety of his day working out.He was wearing the uniform of a general, so this must be the man who called him. The large man looked Sir Risley up and down, eyeing his uniform. Then he saluted. "Sir Risley! It is a pleasure to meet you!"Risley returned the salute. "Likewise, general...?""General Visset, Sir Risley!"In terms of military, the general outranked him, but the Imperial Knights spoke with Emperor Francois's authority, meaning that Risley was the most powerful person on the base right now.Well, except for maybe Prince Calixte. As a prince, he was also the extension of the emperor's authority.The general stepped to the side and Risley entered what he assumed was a meeting room, but it was completely deserted. This room must have belonged to the Roslachnians at one point because Risley c
Arc Chronicles The Knight
The Knight"You? A knight?" Tammy said. She had that mocking look in her eyes. "Don't glare at me. Being a knight is dangerous. Do you want to die on the battlefield?"They stopped walking when they reached the top of the fill. The town of Branwell spread out before them, nestled in the middle of the Reaux Forest. The town at been built before the Industrial Revolution, when ships were still built of wood. The empire had transitioned away to an economy powered by industrialization. It was only the mining of sunstone that stopped Branwell from turning into another ghost town."I don't want to stay here for the rest of my life.""Then don't, but why does that mean you have to become a knight?""Maybe I should join the army.""That's hardly better. Prussia is at war with Roslachnian. Aquitaine is constantly an aggressor force and geared for war. A war we're likely to be dragged into. If you enlist, you'll be dragged out to some battlefield somewhere.""My dad thinks Prussia is just postu

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. Emer Gallagher, the woman who's haunted my nightmares since she almost killed me in Morocc

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

Calixte
Calixte ArcI couldn't do anything but watch as the shadow melted out of Alphonse's own shadow. 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
