Lucien was extremely confused. He was expecting to walk in on a battle between the monster army and the capital’s forces.
‘What the hell? It looks like nothing happened here. Where is that top hat?’
Lucien sighed then walked inside the gates of the capital and took in the absolute beauty and complexity of the capital city. The city was so big it could have been a nation all to itself.
Towering above everything in the middle of the city, was the Monarch’s castle that was ten times bigger and taller than any other building within the city.
Lucien took it all in and then took a deep br

Lucien watched from afar as Kalin emerged around the corner of a dark hallway with two guards by his side.Kalin bowed then turned away and put his helmet on as he began to head for the double doors.Lucien couldn’t help but wonder what was down that hallway.“Excuse me…”Lucien jolted a little bit as he was caught off guard.He quickly turned around to see Roseline behind him.“I’m sorry to disturb you, but could I have your name?” the princess asked curiously.Lucien didn’t notice before, but she was wearing a beautiful purple and
Ice Monarch Surprise
“Who are you?” asked the same guard that had stopped Lucien during his first visit.Turning his attention to the guard, Lucien replied, “You’re Stanley, correct?” After saying this, Lucien noticed that Stanley was the only guard present at the moment.“Is that you Mr. Haze, sir?”“Indeed. Where’s the other guard?”“Oh, he’s in the castle for now taking a break. I’m thinking of taking one myself once he gets back,” Stanley explained. “Why do you ask?”“Just confirming something.”“Confirming something?”
Ice Monarch Kalin's Father's Mistake
Lucien gazed in surprise at the numerous cells holding prisoners that looked to be half-dead.The place contained an awful stench, the stench of death. It was very dark, the only source of light being the occasional oil lamp.‘Why’s there a dungeon here in the castle. They normally hold outlaws in the dungeons of the council buildings.’Lucien walked down the hallway, half expecting the prisoners to jump to the cell doors and start to beg. However, the most attention he received was the simple movement of their eyes as they followed him as he walked down the hallway.At the end of the hall, the hall split off to the left and to the right. Lucien decided to go left which lead him to even more cells.
Ice Monarch Target
…The North Battlefield…The front line quickly broken through as some monsters charged deep into the warriors’ formation.“Assassins!” the general yelled.The assassins, however, were quick on their feet and didn’t need the general to continue with what he was saying. They took action and began to cut down the monsters that broke through.“Reform that front line!”The archers continued to fire showers and showers of arrows, but the monsters didn’t seem to care and continued to charge forward recklessly.“YEAH!&rdq
Ice Monarch Backup
Cletus pulled out his daggers and stood cockily waiting for Lucien to approach.“What are you waiting for?” Cletus asked as a massive grin broke out on his face.Lucien looked at Kalin’s body one last time.“Just making sure I don’t have another interruption.”Cletus glanced at Kalin’s body as well, “You’re right, should I finish the job, just to make sure…”Clang!Lucien shot forward and threw his fist at Cletus’s face.Cletus flew back and skidded to a stop on his feet.

Eric rushed at Lucien and swung his sword. In response, Lucien blocked the sword again with his hand and clasped down on it.With his hand on the blade, Lucien began to freeze the blade as his entire arm ached from the powerful blow.‘I need to get rid of this sword. I can’t block like this forever. My ice just isn’t strong enough and using Viserion’s power does damage to my body.’“That wasn’t smart!” Eric announced cockily.Eric pulled his blade towards him, pulling Lucien along with it and threw a punch.Boom!Eric’s stomach sank into Lucien’s stomach and sent him across

“YOU FUCKER!”Kalin walked hastily towards Cletus who tried to push himself away with his legs, but it was no use.“My father was innocent all this time and you used him just so your name wouldn’t be stained?” Kalin growled as he raised a sword to Cletus’s neck.“Now hold on! You kill me and your father will never get out of that cell. Without me, you can’t proof he’s innocent!”However, Kalin wouldn’t listen as he was blinded by rage, “My father has rotted away in here for no reason at all. My mother is slaving away at home, with almost no hope left. Both of their spirits were crushed, as was mine!” Streams of tears began to stream down Kalin’s face a

Change of Plan
Seeing Alisha’s dead body on the ground, Lucien turned back towards the battle still going on between the revolutionary army and the Monarch’s forces. ‘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. 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
