        Previously, on Sword Of Vengeance 

                             

All his life, he’d longed to do something.

 No, great things. 

Things that would make the world rise to its feet and clap until their hands bled. 

Without that, what was the point? If he couldn’t etch his name into the history books… then he may as well be forgotten.

But could these hands.

    Previously, on Sword of VengeancePrincess Lirl gasped as General Bale’s lips brushed against hers. The world blurred, and her breath caught between memory and moment. She should have pushed him away, but she didn’t.Instead, her body betrayed her resolve. It relaxed. Yielded.And then... tingles. Familiar, yet not.The same warmth that once danced across her skin whenever Xena kissed her.Those sparks that ignited her, now kindled under Bale's touch.But this... this was different. Deeper.As their lips met fully, she closed her eyes. Not out of affection, but confusion. She was trying to feel.To distinguish.Was this love?Or just the longing for something real?Because when Bale kissed her, it wasn't with hunger.It was with heartbreak.

    Previously, on Sword of VengeanceThe Emperor snorted, his lips curling into a cruel smirk.“So in love, you skipped class just to see her,” he mocked, each word laced with venom.His voice was like ice. He took a step toward Princess Lirl, then another.She backed away instinctively, every inch of distance swallowed by his towering presence.“Your Highness, please,” Lord Azril pleaded, stepping between them.But his voice hadn’t even finished echoing when the Emperor’s hand lashed out.The crack of palm against flesh echoed like thunder.Lord Azril's head jerked violently to the side. Blood splattered across the ground as his legs gave out beneath him. He crumpled like a puppet with its strings severed.“Father!” Princess Lirl’s scream tore through the chamber.She lunged for the Emperor, grasping his arm in desperation, but he swatted her off with the ease of brushing dust from his robe.“The only way you make up for this, Lord Azril,” The Emperor said, breathing hea

His fingers loosened around the hilt of his blade.The sword won’t win this fight, he realized. Only instinct will.With that, he flung the weapon aside. It clattered against the stone floor, echoing like a death knell. A symbolic gesture. A declaration. This wasn’t about steel anymore—this was personal.He lunged.A barrage of fists flew at the Emperor.Fast, relentless, full of raw fury. But the Emperor shifted, almost lazily, using only his left lower arm to parry the blows. Each block was surgical, his form tight and unshaken, as if he’d seen every strike coming before it landed.Then, in a blur, the Emperor vanished.As General Bale spun, his was overwhelmed by fear. The presence behind him was unmistakably cold, looming, patient. The Emperor stood there, poised like a predator sa

    Kalus plummeted through the void, his screams swallowed by the endless expanse of shifting, prismatic light. The world above spiralled away, shrinking into a distant pinprick of sunlight until it vanished altogether. Darkness enveloped him, and his consciousness dissolved into nothingness. He jolted. He gasped, coughing as he regained his senses. Cool, damp soil pressed against his cheek, gritty and damp. The distant roar of waves filled his ears, their rhythm steady and hypnotic. And slowly, he pushed himself up on trembling arms, blinking against the brightness of the sun now hanging low in the sky. Before him stretched an endless ocean, its waters shimmering with hues of gold and silver under the fading light. The salty breeze stung his face as he took in the vast, alien expanse. He touched his chest, confirming he was alive. But where was he? And more importantly, how had he survived? He groaned, crawling to the ocean, drinking greedily from its waves till he quenched his
