‘Now to take care of the rest…’
Lucien’s eyes glowed as he raised his right arm and extended his hand with his fingers spread out.
The temperature began to drop immediately and a few soldiers in the back watching the fight go down in the front line felt their bodies begin to go numb. As they wondered what could possibly be causing this, a few saw their skin begin to freeze and turn black and began experiencing symptoms of frostbite.
Some began to scream as they saw this on their skin and their skin began to burn due to the extreme cold.
The screaming would continue until their lungs and vocal cords froze and they stood completely still and silent.
Some of the soldiers hearing the screaming turned around to see why they were hearing it and were more confused by the sudden stops.

Lucien woke up the smell of fresh bread and the chirping of birds outside. He rubbed his eyes, then yawned.“Morning sweetie. Ready for breakfast?” asked his mother.Lucien smiled, “Yes mother!”As Lucien ate his bread his father walked in the door.“There you are my boy, ready to learn some basic self-defense?”“Yeah!” cheered Lucien.“Good, meet me outside, when you finish your bread,” Instructed his father.Lucien stuffed his bread in mouth, took a small drink of water to help swallow it, then rushed outside to meet his
Ice Monarch The Whole Story
“Hey guys look, it’s that low-life Verglas,” sneered the boy in front who looked to be the ringleader of the four boys behind him.“Hi Cletus,” greeted Lucien. Cletus Adelson was a noble’s son, so naturally, many kids would flock under his leadership. He was a little taller than Lucien with combed blonde hair, blue eyes, and freckles. He was dressed in fancy clothes that suited a noble’s son.“What do I keep saying peasant? You don’t deserve that bread. Now give it to me.”“Come on Cletus. This is my food. My family barely has enough as it is. I can’t be wasting it on someone like you. Besides, what did I ever do to you guys?”Cletus scowled in response to t
Ice Monarch A New Friend
Lucien woke the next morning to a light pitter patter of rain on the roof of the cabin. He put on his new shirt that his mother did her best to clean, and the pants he always wore, even though they were too short for him now.His wounds healed slightly, but they were still tender.After having his breakfast, he gathered his books and set out to school.By the time he had reached the school, he was soaked from the rain outside, water dripping off of his hair and clothes. He was a little earlier than his other classmates, so he patiently waited and decided to practice writing some of the letters Ms. Grell had taught him yesterday.His other classmates slowly filed in and took their seats. Lucien noticed that everyone avoided sitting any
Ice Monarch One Year
As the days went by, Kalin and Lucien became great friends. They accompanied each other wherever they went, to school, to The Tavern, on the way to each other’s home. They even took the same beatings. Although, Lucien felt bad about this because all of the beatings were only supposed to be for him, but Kalin refused to leave Lucien when those times came.Lucien’s father also hung a bag of dirt on the tree nearby their cabin. Lucien made immediate use of this and practiced hard. His father wasn’t able to teach him much during the week, but he had the weekends off, so his father was able to instruct Lucien then since Lucien had the weekends off as well.It was tradition in the country of Verglacia to not do any work during the weekends unless you were tending to your home. Lucien made use of these times to practice his s

Lucien ran home to tell his mother the news.“Mother! Mr. Fuller gave me ten coppers!” Lucien exclaimed.“That’s amazing sweetheart!” his mother congratulated. “Did you wash more dishes than usual?”“Yeah. He paid me extra for it!”“Oh, tell me how you did.”“The tests? I felt like I did alright. Results will be posted at the school in a week.”“That’s good.”“I’m going to back outside ok, Mother!” Lucien rushed back outside, picked up his wooden sword, and headed towar

Two days later, it was the start of the second year of school.“What do you think the new teacher will be like?” Kalin asked Lucien as they walked towards the school.Kalin looked to have gotten a little taller after a year. Lucien, however, hadn’t grown at all except mentally.“I’m not sure. I hope whoever it is teaches as well as Ms. Grell did.”“You got that right. All I want to do is pass. So they better be good at teaching. I don’t want to put in any more work than I have too.”“What do you want to do when you finish school?” Lucien asked.“Hmm. I’ve
Ice Monarch Struggle
The next day, Lucien’s shoulder would throb in pain with any movement he made.“What happened to you Lucien?” asked Kalin when they met up to walked to school.“Oh, this…” Lucien told the entire story of going to the edge of the forest and running into the Siagan and his father coming to save him.“That’s insane. You’re lucky your father showed up when he did.”“Yeah, I’m lucky that this is all I received.” Lucien pointed at his shoulder. “A pretty good punishment, don’t you think?”“For sure.”After school, they both tried t

Traitor
‘This can’t be… Alston killed by Lucien? How…’“Stay back!” Alisha yelled as he drew another arrow and shot it straight at Lucien.Lucien limped forward and extended his good arm again.Clap!The arrow disappeared as Lucien breathing became even heavier. Lucien stumbled and fell to his knees, but he never once took his eyes off of Alisha.‘He may have killed Alston, but it is obvious that he is close to death himself, so why am I so afraid of him?’Alisha franticly drew more arrows, unleashing them all upon Lucien.The numerous arrows were deflected and ended up destroying Alisha’s own troops as Lucien tried saving some magic power. Neutralizing them took more out of him, but in this way, Lucien was able to cause the deaths of the enemy soldiers.Lucien was now lying on the ground as he used up an enormous amount of energy to deflect them all.‘I&r

Too Late
As soon as Alston yelled, the Monarch’s forces let out a roar and charged forward. As they did, Alisha drew her bow and arrow and aimed at the center of the Revolutionary army forming a massive magic arrow. She allowed the string to slip through her fingers and the arrow shot off with massive energy behind it.The Revolutionary army watched as the arrow screamed towards them. It grew bigger and bigger in their vision, and they felt death was just around the corner as they closed their eyes.There was a loud sound like that of a thunderclap and then a blast of wind as the ground beneath their feet shook.The Revolutionary army opened their eyes with confusion to see a cloud of smoke where the arrow just was.Lucien stood before them, staring at the Monarch’s forces as they continued to charge forward.Alisha couldn’t believe her eyes as anger began to boil within her.‘He blocked that?! That shouldn’t even be pos

Revolution
The plan to let the Princess be the face of the proposed revolution was a great success as many people form Alophia gathered in the city square in front of a rather makeshift platform that was thrown together to hear what she had to say.Roseline stepped onto the stage and the crowd grew silent.Using magic, she amplified her voice so she could be heard amongst all the onlookers.“Thank you, people of Alophia city, for coming out to day to hear my proclamation. As you know, I am Princess Roseline of Verglacia. I have come to let you know about the wrongdoings of my father. Did it seem strange to you, all the wars we were fighting with the other nations seemed to give no results, other than throw away the lives of our soldiers?”She paused and the crowd began agree, some shouted while others just nodded their heads.“It did to me. With further investigation by a colleague of mine found out about a certain ore the Monarch has been g

The Next Move
“Hey man! What did you talk with Roseline about?” Kalin whispered as he sat down next to Lucien.“I apologized to her,” Lucien answered simply as he looked at her as she picked and ate some berries nearby with Gloria.“Are you sure that’s all? I heard some yelling and moaning? You didn’t do anything to the princess of Verglacia did you?” Kalin prodded as he nudged Lucien with his elbow.“Come on Kalin. Give it a rest. She was just setting me straight is all. I was at a pretty low point last night. I was ready to give up, but now I know what I need to do. We need to get to Elesron and gather supplies first.”“What might that be?”Lucien looked at Kalin and smiled, “I’m going to leave him with nothing, just like I was.”Before Kalin could ask what he meant by that, Lucien stood up and began to walk in the direction of Elesron.“Let’s go

Absorbing Reality
Kalin coughed as he lay on the forest floor, or what was left of it. His vision adjusted and saw uprooted trees as well as splinters of wood and dirt everywhere.‘One shot did this?’Refocusing his attention on his objective he got to his feet to see that Roseline and Gloria were struggling to theirs as well.“Is everyone ok?” Kalin asked.“I’m alright,” Gloria answered.“No, look at Lucien!” Roseline pointed out.Lucien’s skin continued to grow darker as his body began to freeze up.“We need to hurry! Where are the horses?” Kalin yelled.“One was killed the other two ran off,” Gloria explained.They began to hear shouts coming from the direction of the capital nearing their position.“SHIT!” Kalin quickly picked Lucien up onto his shoulders and began to run off, the girls close behind.They dodged fallen trees,

The Altrite's Purpose
Lucien pushed Roseline, who was still crying, off of him and began to walk forward.“A-a-ah! I wouldn’t move any closer or I will have them killed here and now,” the Monarch warned.Lucien stopped as the guards pushed the swords closer to his parent’s necks, drawing blood.“Why?!” Lucien shouted. “Why are you doing this?! I’ve done everything you asked me too!”“Why? I’ll tell you. You’ve become too influential, and you know too much,” the Monarch answered simply.“Know too much?”“Don’t answer as if you don’t know anything. I saw you near that room. No one is able to get there except me due to the spell cast on it. However, you were able to. You also know about the altrite and its actual purpose. You are too smart not to but two and two together by now. That is why I am going to have you disposed of. You took away the hearts of my peo

Bout
Kalin made the first move and quickly rushed forward and threw a jab.Lucien tilted his head out of the way and countered with a fist thrown towards Kalin’s side. However, before Lucien’s fist connected, he felt Kalin’s arms wrap around Lucien’s head and was yanked down causing him to miss. Instead, he felt Kalin’s knee drive up into his stomach.Kalin then threw Lucien onto the ground and pounced. Lucien avoided and swept Kalin’s legs out from under him.While Kalin was on the ground. Lucien drove his elbow into Kalin’s chest with such force, Kalin felt the bones there break in half as well as the floor crack under him.‘Fuck! It hasn’t been a minute and I feel like I was run over by an entire caravan!’Kalin, out of desperation, grabbed onto Lucien and then threw Lucien over him with his leg, allowing him to get up.Just as he got up, Lucien swung his foot in a big sweeping motion

Submission
…A few weeks later, within the capital…The people of the capital were bustling around with news of recent events. No one couldn’t help but bring it up. Two women were doing this rather loudly…“Did you hear most of the guilds are signing the order that went out?”“Yes! I have also heard that others decided to just disband themselves rather than go through with the signing. But what was most interesting to hear was that for the ones that refused to do wither of those was destroyed by Sir Lucien Verglas!”“I know! Did you hear about the first city he forced into submission? Anyway, he froze up the entire town and then demolished their guilds! A bit extreme I think…”A man who overheard their conversation then joined in.“It’s not like that was the furthest he went,” the man explained. “I heard that after he destroyed a guild hall in a d
