In the morning, Tharn came down for breakfast, and the others were already there, minus Iris and Archa Panigrahi.
When he sat and greeted them, the Guild’s door opened, and Archa entered, with Iris on her right shoulder.
Tharn made a slight frown because Iris was not shining like usual. Instead, her light was turned off, but her body was still reflecting the light inside the room.
When they sat at the table, that was when he realized why she looked so different.
She had a dress made entirely of shining jewels, completely white, and with tiny emeralds embodied in it. She was like a sun ray, but with green in the mix.
Iris noticed his stare and said, with an enormous smile that brightened her face, “What do you think? Does it look good on me or what? Rusalka and Omarosa finished it early this morning, and we went there to get it. Do I look yummy or what?”
Archa placed her on top of the table, and a
Istar glanced at Tharn, who shrugged at her. She felt that something was off because the soldiers stationed in that long corridor kept on looking at them as they followed the servant, and near some of the soldiers, there were Mages, also checking out the group of Adventurers.At the end of the corridor, there were four guards, with yellow shining armour and long swords in their hands, and before opening the doors, they checked Istar’s invitation and Synesia’s gold-plate.One soldier gasped at the sight of an Adventurer gold-plate, especially at their young age, meaning that they were absurdly powerful and dangerous for a
Istar and Synesia moved at light speed, and together with their friends, they made a protective circle around the Head Cleric, his family, and all the other members of the government. Noticing the strange reaction of the Adventurers that were invited to the celebration, the soldiers at the entrance of the ballroom ran to them, only to drop dead from Ice Spikes, shot by people mingling in the crowd of guests. While Tharn and Istar were still trying to find out where the attackers were, five Fire Bolts were coming at them, shot by three men on the right side of the room, while a Noble dressed in dark green clothes shouted with his eyes wide open, “For the glory of the Grand Duchy of Ulble!” From the left side of the room came more Ice Spikes, and a woman shouted, “Long live the Kingdom of Heszils!” Istar and the others reacted instinctively. They shot Ice Spikes against the Fire Bolts, and Fire Bolts against the Ice Spikes, and right after, Istar summoned her three flying lions, who
Then, Tharn came to a halt and walked to the table. Without waiting for an invitation, he sat at the table, right in front of the Head Cleric, and after looking around at all the members of the government, he explained, “What I am about to say can’t leave this room. It would be better if all the soldiers, Mages, and prisoners went to another room so that I could explain what happened and what we must do.”One Cleric, seated on the right side of the Head Cleric, complained, “You can’t possibly think we are going to trust you and your friends to be all alone with us without any kind of security after what happened!”“I expect exactly that because if it weren’t for me and my friends, you would be dead by now. Do I also need to remind you that Mage had been working here for five years and you trusted him blindly? And if I wanted to kill you and everyone in this room, you would all die, and these soldiers and Mages wouldn’t be able to do a thing to stop me. Besides, I have a Fairy on my sid
Istar glanced at the Clerics at the table, who were wondering what they were talking about, and Tharn explained, “Remember I said we are aiming at all Classes of Magic? Istar is training in Necromancy, but only with the Novice Spells, which are more than enough for this case. We are aware that you all condemn Necromancy, but it has its uses, as long as the Mage doesn’t go higher in Level and loses his soul, which shatters among all the creatures he creates. It is also why Necromancers like it so much to do their sinful work in this country. That law about not burning the corpses to ashes works in their favour.”The Head Cleric looked at Istar while rubbing his chin, while his comrades were still discussing the implic
While Istar went to the exit doors, followed by all her friends and the guests, the Head Cleric went to the balcony with his family and all the members of the government, and Istar’s Force Old Elementals exited the room from a big window and flew to the rooftop of the building to watch over the crowd.The Head Cleric saw them landing at the edge of the rooftop and said, “Amazing creatures… They seem alive and extremely intelligent!”His wife was looking up as well and said, “I never heard about Elementals that could act on their own! How did she do that?”“That is something you can ask her, my dear. Those youngsters seem to know a lot more about Magic than they should at their age. Perhaps the way they do things will make the Scholars rethink their conceptions about Magic.”“Yes, you could be right. But creating a completely new Elemental... and the others! Those enormous spiders and that Golem made of rock! How they made those, I have no idea!”The Head Cleric approached his mouth fr
Istar told her Old Elementals to walk to the edge of the square, where the soldiers were stopping the common folk from stepping a foot into the square, and to take whoever approached them for a two-minute flight, but they had to be very careful not to scare anyone or let them fall.They bowed to her and did as she told them. As they were walking along the square, Istar faced the Head Cleric on the balcony and asked with a smile, “Was this entertaining enough? Or do I need to do something else?”“No, that was excellent, Istar! Please, come on in, and let’s meet in the ballroom!”Archa escorted her to the building, with her friends and all the other guests following them, and right before entering the building, Istar looked up, alerted by the excited scream of a child.A little girl with a big smile was riding Menace, the yellow flying lion, together with her father, who looked terrified. Right after them came Breeze and Destruction, also with two riders.At the edge of the square, the
By the end of the afternoon, Tharn and his group left, with a promise to return to visit the Head Cleric when there were fewer people around so that they could plan their next actions regarding the Brotherhood of Necromancers and their strange Leader.Tharn adjusted his bag, which was full of purses with gold and silver coins from all the pieces of jewellery he had sold, and complained, “This bag was lighter when we arrived. I wasn’t counting on selling everything that Omarosa and Rusalka made! Not even a ring was left! And I got a few orders for some very specific pieces!”
The Innkeeper arrived with the tea, and when he left, Istar asked, “Archa and Iris are a couple now? I thought she had a thing with you!”“They have particular circumstances and kinks that are not my business to talk about. Besides, you said that I shouldn’t have any women around if I wanted you to give me a chance, so if Iris and Archa are together, they will leave me alone and stop tempting me.”Istar took a sip of her tea and said, “As if it was their fault entirely, you pervert. And what are we going to do about sleeping? Becau

Climate: The Acidic Season happens right before Winter starts. In that season and for one month, acidic rain falls from the sky, burning most of the plants and trees as a way to prepare the soil for the Winter and the next generation of plants after the Winter Season, the so-called "Abundance Season" that lasts for four months. Calendar: Winter lasts two months, Acidic lasts one month, Abundance is four months, and Summer is two months as well. Days have twenty hours during most of the year, except in Winter, which has merely fifteen hours. Topography: The World is made up of a single massive landmass, with the ocean covering nearly 75% of the planet's surface. There are seven countries and a few small islands that belong to three countries because those islands are near them. Flora: Healing plants with Magical powers that have leaves of a triangular shape. Poisonous plants and flowers were extremely colourful, with some even able to glow in the dark. Anesthesia plants, aromati
It was already mid-morning in the 'Grand Duchy of Sirion.'The Duke was in his meeting room with all his Ministers gathered around a large table and a few Mages near the farthest wall, right below an enormous glass window.With a frown, the Duke asked, "Any news from Mage Tharin? The National Tournament of the Theocracy was yesterday, and he didn't send a message." Before any Minister could say they didn't get any, the window shattered, and an enormous creature landed on top of the table, with another knocking out the Mages with his enormous paws.
Istar didn't wait for the Peacekeeper's hammer. When the enormous hammer hit the shield and made it flicker again, she jumped forward at the same time the gap increased from the powerful blow. The Hooded Mage tried to stop her, but she tackled him, and they both rolled on the floor with the shield surrounding them both. Tharn saw the Magical Portal disappearing, and he heard Istar shouting, even with all the noise, "Got you! Die, you bastard!"
The day finally came.After the back gates, there was an enormous square painted on the soil, with rows of chairs near the City wall and a vast group of people, gathered around the square to watch the fights.Istar and her group crossed the gates with a crowd following them and cheering.She walked to the middle of the square with her group at her side, and they waved at the spectators, all gathered there to watch the finals.
