Ephesus was a high elven kingdom, and strangely the ruler was not an elf but was Vulpine, a subspecies of Elves and lives quite longer than other species.
She’s the current ruler and it’s said that she has lived over 108 years and still looks astonishingly young.
.
Being in the high mountains, Ephesus mostly was mostly covered in snow throughout the years. It also had to do with a high concentration of pure ley lines around the area. The magicules that were generated due to ley lines would channel heat away from the air and make it colder.
Due to its geology, it was hard to march on such territory and thus had managed to stay away from wars for quite a while.
But the main reason for them to
As Theodore and others entered the healing chambers, there were many people already waiting for their turn. The guard led them to the special chambers where Jason was already being healed. There were many high-level mages working on healing people and was a legend healer as well. She was healing Jason as his injuries looked quite deep. It was a tall room and had a big shiny crystal hanging from the roof. It wasn't a chandelier but was a large crystallized mana essence. It was the source of power for healers and mages around the palace. . . After a while, she turned towards Vivian who was looking at her with a worrying look,
As that beast closed in, arrays of blasts started pouring on the dragon."Was that small fly out of your reach, Legendary Ace'' Griffin asked Aeneas in a ridiculing way."If I had a pair of wings like you…" he replied in a sharp tone to which Griffin laughed and walked to the gallery,"Move aside everyone."At his command, all the wizards in the vicinity moved back letting the dragon close in.As he closed in Griffin chanted a spell, "Gravitas".To his chant, the dragon was pinned to the ground, the next moment he was struggling to get up."A stubborn one, let's see how you handl
In the upper plane of Nine Hells, a minion spoke with determination causing an uproar, "It's time to overthrow those arrogant Gods and reclaim what is truly ours." "Then what about the primal plane, there are some powerhouses we can't overlook." Another minion raised a question to which everyone got silenced. "Those flies are not even worth bothering with, our master can clean them up if you wish so." This time an old minion sitting in the dark corner spoke draining everyone's attention. He was no ordinary minion as he had a royal crest on it, meaning he was a direct subordinate of a demon lord and not just any messenger. Which demon lord, no one could figure that out.<
The next day in the morning the scouts reported that the attacks were halted completely as the enemy troops were not moving any further for now. Further, they reported that the enemy forces have taken many of their people as hostages for labour work. It seemed like they were taking only men into the forest. Most probably to the Etherblade. The scouts couldn't go any further and thus it was a mere estimation. It was quite easy to understand the intentions of Etherblade kingdom by now, they were trying to use the situation in their favour as best as possible. The southern territory was in chaos, even Jason's brother Anthony was facing many problems after their business and communication were cut off with other neighbouring nations. The room got quiet suddenly. Theodore was holding onto the envelope with wide eyes. It had been many years since he received any gift from his mother, after her death his father also stopped talking much about her. It was known to many that his mother was quite secretive about her life, thus everyone in the room was looking at him curiously. After a brief moment, he opened up the envelope. To his surprise the envelope was empty. Everyone was confused to see this, but a moment later the letter got engulfed in fire and burned up. Theodore felt a sudden pain in the back of his palm. Everyone closed on him to see what hBurning Soul The Gift
Everyone was involved in helping each other with something. Elder people in the castle were looking after the decorations.As per decided, Diana and Catherine were helping at the camps, sure enough, the people also wanted to participate in some way and they were helping this happen.It was an occasion to celebrate, people needed to relax and this was a perfect occasion.In the castle, there was a bit of struggle in the kitchen."Princess, let us handle the cooking, you shouldn't be doing so." A maid called out to Vivian who was trying her best to cook a giant-sized cake."It's nothing, I can handle such a small matter. In the morning the hall was locked up for anyone other than royal guests. "So basically this is the plan okay?" Athena said looking at everyone. "Nah! That's not going to work. Let's work this one again." Griffin replied with his cup of tea in his hand. Everyone was working on planning the journey to the north. There was no doubt that Theodore had to travel, but it was still a question of who will accompany him. The powerhouses of the South Region won't possibly be able to travel as that would mean leaving millions of people unprotected, and it was not a good option to let him travel alone or with no good backup. After roughly 20 minutes, they gathered at the main gates of the castle. Aeneas along with Athena, Chloe, Merida, and Nicholas was waiting for them with a well-prepared horse cart. Griffin and Diana were keeping Evan and Jason busy at the camps. "Vivi, please look after our brother." Nicholas asked her in a worrisome tone to which she replied with a bright smile, "Yeah sure, I will brother Nic." "Hey, you! Don't you dare let my brother get in trouble or I'll come and haunt you, idiot?" Merida was yelling at Aeneas for the last few minutes and she now just threatened him. "Hey! Kid save me from this little dragon. How come you are so different?&nBurning Soul The Journey Ahead
