    Could be a better story if plot made more sense and slowed down with development

Chapter 1: Tough choices

The Blackwoods gathered in their grand hall, feasting and laughing as they always did. But even as they enjoyed their opulence, they couldn't help but feel a twinge of resentment toward their lowly son-in-law, Markus. They snickered at his shabby clothes and mocked his lack of refinement. "You're nothing more than a peasant," sneered Lord Blackwood, the head of the family. "You'll never amount to anything in this world. You're lucky we even let you marry our daughter.""I may not be as refined as you, but I have something you'll never have," replied Markus, his eyes flashing with defiance. "I have the favor of the gods. You can mock me all you want, but you'll never be able to touch me. I'm beyond your reach.""You arrogant fool!" snapped Lady Blackwood, her face reddening with anger.The Blackwoods were among the wealthiest and most powerful families in the land, and they looked down on Markus with scorn.

Chapter 4: The trial
The sentries from Capital City of Precipice arrived at Markus's home, their faces grim and unsmiling. They explained that he was to be brought before the governor, to answer for his actions."What have I done?" asked Markus, his heart sinking. "I only did what I thought was right.""The people are in danger because of you," said the lead sentry. "And the governor demands an explanation."Celeste's eyes flashed with anger. "He is the god of war!" she exclaimed. "You saw the dragon! Surely that must mean something!"The governor waved a dismissive hand. "Anyone can tame a dragon, if they know the right incantations," he said. "It is not proof of divinity.""But he saved me!" cried Celeste, her voice breaking. "He is not the one who has put us in danger. It is the god killers who threaten us all!""Enough!" roared the president, slamming his fist on the table. "You will not speak out of turn, girl! And as for you, boy," he said, turning to Markus."You have put our people in danger," said

Chapter 5: Raid
As Markus approached the governor's office, his injured leg throbbed with pain. He knew that he was in no shape to fight, but he also knew that he had no choice. The governor might have respected him for his courage and resolve, but he made it clear that there was still a long road ahead."You've shown great bravery," the governor said, "but you still have much to learn. You must train hard, and prove yourself worthy of the power you wield. If you fail, you could endanger us all."The words struck a chord in Markus."I know," said Markus, his voice heavy with exhaustion. He was still reeling from the battle, and the governor's words only added to his fatigue. But he knew that the governor was right. He had a lot of work ahead of him, and he could not afford to falter. He would have to train harder than ever before, to become the god of war that his people needed."You have the potential," said the governor, his voice firm but not unkind. "But you must be willing to put in the effort."

Chapter 7
Celeste looked at the king, her eyes cold. "I will never submit to you," she said, her voice trembling but resolute. "I would rather die than be with you."The king's eyes flashed with rage. "So be it," he said, his voice low and dangerous. "You will starve in this room until you are nothing but skin and bones."I know you want to break me," said Celeste, "but you won't succeed. I am stronger than you think. You may starve my body, but you will never break my spirit."The king growled in frustration. "We shall see," he said. And with that, he stormed out of the room, leaving Celeste alone, locked in the library.She looked around the room, her mind racing. She had to find a way out, a way to escape.

Chapter 8
The king was silent, and Markus could see the wheels turning in his mind."If what you say is true," said the king, his words slow and measured, "then I would be a fool to keep her. But how do I know that you speak the truth? How do I know that you are not simply trying to manipulate me?"Markus took a deep breath, his eyes fixed on the king's. "Because I have nothing to gain from this," he said. "I gain nothing from freeing Celeste, except for her safety.As Markus watched the slaves disappear into the distance, a weight lifted from his shoulders. But then, he saw the king's expression change, and a chill ran down his spine. "I have changed my mind," said the king, his voice cold and commanding. "Bring the slaves back to me, now."Markus's heart sank. He knew he couldn't fight the king's forces, and he couldn't let the slaves be returned to captivity. He had to think of something, and fast.As the slaves were released, Markus felt a surge of relief. But then, he remembered Scales, th

Chapter 9
Finally, she spoke. "I cannot go back to my old life," she said, her voice trembling. "But I cannot stay here, either. I must find a new path, one that will allow me to help those who are suffering."As Celeste stood, silent and still, she considered her options. She could return to her parents, and live a comfortable life of ease and privilege. Or she could stay with Markus, and face a life of danger and uncertainty. The choice was not an easy one, but in the end, she knew what she had to do."I will stay with Markus," she said, her voice shaking. "I know it will not be easy, but I cannot turn my back on what is right.As the Blackwoods left, their expressions were full of anger and resentment. They did not approve of Celeste's choice, but they could not force her to come back with them. So they left, their departure marked by an air of bitterness and disappointment.But in the city, the people were celebrating. They had heard of Markus's bravery, and they were grateful to him for sa

Chapter 10
Markus's hands clenched around his sword. "I only did what was necessary to save my people," he retorted. "I'm not the villain here. You are.""I am the savior, and my people will be grateful for the change I bring. You are hated by all, and you know it." Rockwell's head rose with pride, and his pegasus pawed the ground.Markus's stomach twisted as he realized the truth of the king's words. His actions had caused chaos and fear, rather than the peace he had hoped for. The weight of this realization pressed down on him, and he felt suffocated by his own guilt.Markus's eyes narrowed as he glared at the king. "Hero? You enslaved and exploited my people for your own selfish gain. You tried to seduce my wife. You are not a hero - you are nothing but a spineless man-child, hiding behind your title and your wealth.""I'm doing what I believe to be right, and you have no say in the matter," Rockwell declared, his voice hard as steel. "The god killers are your doing, not mine."Whom do you se
