Calixte ArcIt's monstrous defense... We should have been prepared. We had destroyed the inky creature that attacked us, but the rest of the team was still dealing with the other monster.It was an impressive mystical defense. I was surprised the Roslachnians had such a talented sorcerer here with them to set that up, but I guess that goes to show why we shouldn't judge the enemy so simply.I looked through my scope. Bian and Sasha were still fighting off their monster. They were making progress though, I could already see cracks developing within the dark shadow.I channeled my mana into the rifle and aimed at the creature. Bian and Sasha dived to the side as it attacked and I took advantage of its back was turned. The enchanted bullet struck it through its back and the cracks that were already there splintered. Like our own shadow, it died in an explosion of light."Did you get it?"I tossed the binoculars at him. "Check for yourself."I reloaded the rifle as Alphonse looked. "You s

"Did it work?" the master asked.Emer nodded. "Yes. The message has been sent. If nothing else, I'm sure my prince will want to come see me."The shadow snorted. "Prince, huh? Don't you want to lill him?"Emer shook her head. "No. I want to capture him and sell him to the highest bidder. That might be a connected Aquitese lord, or a new bider."The Shadow Master ordained to look at her. "I thought you had an outstanding contract?""I did, but she is agreed to double the pay fot Prince Calixte. I'll sell him to the highest bider, so I hope you've prepared. I can't let him get away this time."

Calixte ArcThere were two vectors of attack, the front door, and the side door. Both of them would no doubt be guarded, but Bian split us into two teams: Sasha, Rolo, and her would go in the front, while Alphonse and myself would try the side door."I'll take point. I have more mana."Alphonse nodded. "I'm not going to argue, my prince."Approaching the side door, I was surprised about the lack of snipers. As I grabbed the doorknob, there was... Nothing. No bullets, no shadow monster, no nothing.I looked back and Alphonse was still hidden behind the brush. He wasn't gone, he wasn't being attacked.I looked back at the door. I grabbed the doorknob and threw it open. A familiar wave of nausea washed over me and the world vanished in a spin.Emers Gallagher was nowhere to be seen and as far as I was concerned, that was good. Fighting for my life in the skies above New Siberia was bad enough, I didn't need my personal hunter there as well.We had pushed the Roslachnian Communist forces

Calixte Arc"I didn't mean to. Something hit me."Alphonse raised an eyebrow. "What? Were you daydreaming?... Your Highness," he added as an afterthought."No, I wasn't daydreaming," I said amused. "It was... I can explain later. We have to find that soldier-"The sensation hit me as the world spun again.As the sun came over the horizon, the dawn of the final push slowly arrived. I sat at the top tower, staring at no man's land that separated us from the New Serbian-controlled land.Someone else must have had access to that research. They were using it to attack me. I had... I had to get out of this.Alaska was beautiful. I wished I had got to see it before I had been reincarnated. I wish I had come up here to see it in this beautiful land in the other world, in a world where these lands were peaceful. A place where these lands wouldn't be soaked in a sea of blood in just a few hours.I could see my breath against the cold air as I breathed. My breath dispersed against the pale blue

Calixte Arc"A mental attack? I didn't think the Roslachnians would have a magician who specialised in mental attacks. If they had someone that talented, I assumed they would have taken them to the front to fight the Prussians.""One might hope.""Are you going to be alright? If they find us and you're suffering from the enemies attack."I was starting to get the hang of it. The gravitational force that seemed to be trying to keep me trapped was just a part of those memories. If I concentraited, they weren't as effective. The more I worked at it, the easier it became in freeing myself-They had barely escaped with their lives and once it was known that the Tsar had fled the country, his loyalist forces quickly broke up. Her home, the only life she knew, everything was lost to Tanya because one trusted general disobeyed. More than disobedience, he turned on them.That colored Tanya's life and she wouldn't be a disloyal soldier. No matter how much it killed her to obey the Office of Sec

She whistled low and quiet. As much as she hated to admit it, she was impressed. Her opinion of the boy prince, Calixte Arc, was improving. He had learned to control the dreams easier than she would have expected.If only Master Shadow could have taken that Commissar before Prince Calixte coule have gotten to him."Where is the shadow?" she asked one of her servants.The White Cloaked Man looked into the crystal ball and frowned. "It's in the far corridor, away from the soldiers. None of them of them have been stupid enough to approach it."Master Shadow nodded. "Good. I would hate for our pet to slaughter it's way through the defenders."She pointedly ignored the soldiers in the room as she spoke."Where is Prince Calixte?""With the first group, sire.""I see. Let's move the shadow. Though we must assume direct control."

Calixte ArcThe drag was still there, trying to pull me back. I had mastered it, but it remained. At first, I couldn't understand why. What was the point? Surely whoever it was recognized that I couldn't be trapped again.Not unless I was injured, or my ability to resist was diminished. Could that be it? Where they waiting for a soldier to shoot me? If they were, whoever it was wasn't going to be happy. I wasn't about to let a soldier shoot me."The soldiers have retreated," Alphonse said, peaking his head out of the cover. I hoped for his sake that he was supplying mana to his gem.The sensation was constantly there, prickling at the back of my senses. I wished it would go away. It may have no power, but it was annoying. I could even feel the connection back to whoever was doing it...The connection back to the castor. Could I reverse it? Or at least find out where they're hiding?"Alphonse, I need you to keep watch for a minute.""... Your Highness?""I told you to call me Calixte.
Arc Chronicles 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
