2024-10-29 19:42:56Charles was in horror as watched one of the strongest knights he had ever seen get killed so easily.
‘No not easily. He killed hundreds, if not thousands of monsters before he died. But still… no matter how strong you are, you can never be invincible. Death always finds its way in.’
Charles sank to his knees as he observed warrior after warrior get swallowed up by the monsters. He felt that history was repeating itself, only this time, no one else was there to save them.
The general, who was still giving it his all finished off a large snake before collapsing face first into the ground, completely wiped of energy.
“Get out of there!” Charles shouted as he watched the red dragon from above spew fire from

With the little manpower they had left, the warriors began to hold the monsters off since they had the help of Kalin and didn’t have to worry about the dragon anymore.“Push forward!” Charles yelled as everyone fought back the monsters.Kalin slashed away at the monsters before them, cutting them to pieces, all the while still searching for his comrades.Slash!Kalin jumped high into the air, avoiding the mallet of a giant then swung his own swords, slicing the giants head clean off.He landed on the ground and looked around at his surroundings.‘I think that was the last giant, but where the hell are the res

“Lucien!” Roseline screamed as she rushed to where Lucien lay, quickly kneeling down by his head and shaking his body, “Lucien!”She held her ear against Lucien’s bloodied chest, but she couldn’t hear the beating of his heart.The others that crowded around looked at Lucien’s body with concern as Roseline sprang up.“Quick! We need to get him to a healer!”I will take care of that,” a deep voice sounded from behind the warriors.The knight wearing gold armor appeared and the warriors automatically formed a path as the knight walked forward.“Kirklin?” Roseline i
Ice Monarch Subjugation
… About Two Years Later, within the country of Kasnar, west of Verglacia’s border… It was a brisk spring night, not a cloud covering the sky as the moon lit of the ground surface. The tree’s leaves rustled softly in the night while most of soldiers of Verglacia slept on the ground. However, two men sat upright against a tree, watching a fire crackle while they talked. “I hope this is the last sight. I’m sick of carrying all of this Altrite around,” one of the soldiers grumbled. “Yeah,” the other agreed while he sighed. “At least all the heavy lifting is taken care of by the magicians. They can lift it into the wagons like it’s nothing and if it wasn’t for their protective spells, the stuff would drain our lifeforce dry in mere minutes.” “That’s true…” The soldier titled his head back and looked up into the sky at the brilliant white moon as a flash of light blue fill the sky followed by a low rumble. “What was that?!” he
Ice Monarch False Freedom
“So many people today!” a guard sighed. “I can’t wait to get another assignment. I hate checking going through a checklist with every single person that wants to enter the castle!” The guard put up his hand to stop the next person.“Name?!” he demanded. The person gave it and he began to check the person’s name on a number of pages he was holding. As he did so, the guard was bumped into as a man strolled through the gates.‘Who is this asshole? What makes him think he can just waltz in like he owns the place?!’“Hey! Where do you think you’re going!” the guard shouted after him. “You know not just anyone can enter right?!”The man stopped and looked over his shoulder.“It’s a good thing that I’m not just anyone then, isn’t it?” the man growled.The guard began to shiver as he recognized the man before him.“Sir
Ice Monarch Warning
Lucien was astounded by this discovery as he glossed his fingers over the frozen wall. ‘Where does this lead to?’ Lucien looked down the hallway and was about to release another blast of cold magic to freeze more of the wall when he heard someone calling behind him. “Sir Lucien!” Lucien relaxed and suppressed his magic as he turned around to see Roseline standing before him, her breath freezing as it escaped from her mouth. “Are you alright?” she asked as she glanced at the frozen hallway. “I heard a yell.” Lucien sighed, “Yeah. I’m fine. It’s nothing.” Turning away, Lucien was about to leave when Roseline spoke again, “It’s about your parents, isn’t it?” Hearing this, Lucien stopped and looked over his shoulder. Roseline looked up at him with a look of sorrow. “Do you want to get something to eat and talk about it?” Roseline asked hopefully. Lucien looked at her pure innocent beauty, but the idea of him
Ice Monarch Change
The door opened to reveal a rather large room with a bunch of chests pushed against one of the walls while on the opposite wall was a bookcase. The bookcase was filled half with books while the other half was filled with medicinal instruments and other miscellaneous tools. On the back wall was a set of chains and handcuffs. Within the center was a single table with strange drawings carved within the wood.The room had an unpleasant stench and was in dire need of cleaning.‘Guess the maidservants don’t get to clean this room.’As soon as Lucien walked in, he felt a very dark power lurking within. He paused as the hair on the back of his neck stood on end. Lucien decided to move slowly and keep his senses alert as he inspected the room.He first looked at the table to see that what was inscribed within the wood was a magic circle.Lucien took note of this as he moved to one of the chests. He tried to open it, but it was locked. He d
Ice Monarch Guild Order
The next day, the order was printed in every newspaper, a letter was written to every registered guild, and to the registered adventurers, a message popped up on their bracelets. It wasn’t long before almost every living sole within the nation of Verglacia knew of the order.Lucien waited within the castle, constantly listening to the reports of what guilds were complying, and those who weren’t.He heard these reports from within the council room along with the twelve council members. He stood against the wall while the twelve conversed amongst themselves about how to subjugate those who refuse to comply.“Not many are agreeing to obey the order. It seems they all adore the freedom to do as they please rather than be under our control,” one of the council members observed.“They still have the rest of today and tomorrow to decide what they are going to do. I say we give them a chance before we do anything,” another advi

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!

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.

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
