Calen stepped out from behind the cover of a barricade, his eyes locked on Evan. With a powerful burst of speed, he closed the distance, unleashing a fierce barrage of strikes. His sword danced in his hands, each swing filled with precision and strength. The force behind his blows made the air around them hum, forcing Evan to focus entirely on dodging.

Evan, however, remained calm. He moved with practiced ease, his movements fluid and deliberate. Each attack Calen delivered was narrowly avoided, the blade missing him by inches. Evan smirked, his confidence building as he gradually gave ground, retreating further into the arena.

Unbeknownst to Calen, Evan’s retreat was not random. He was leading Calen to a specific area of the arena—a section where the ground was lined with faintly glowing symbols. These symbols, part of an old military training mechanism, activated when pressure was applied, triggering a web of energy whips that lashed out violently at anything within range.

Even Evan, confident just moments ago, felt a pang of unease as he stared at the transformed Calen.“What… what are you?” Evan muttered under his breath, gripping his sword tightly.Calen advanced, his steps deliberate, the ground beneath him crackling faintly with each step. When he raised his sword, it seemed to hum with energy, its blade gleaming brighter than ever.

A cruel smile curled his lips as he ran, deliberately leading Calen toward the

  • The God of War Calen Storm   The Dinner

    Rumors spread like wildfire, and it wasn’t long before the Frost household was abuzz with whispers of the latest spectacle at the military training grounds. Lila sat stiffly in the sitting room, her hands clutching a teacup as her mind raced. The image of Calen—once dismissed as weak and unremarkable—standing victorious over Evan with power no one had expected haunted her. It wasn’t just the duel; it was the unanimous recognition from the military elites that had turned the tide of perception.“Lila, darling, this is becoming quite a problem,” Marylin said as she paced the room, her delicate face pinched with concern. “I never imagined Calen could rise this far. He was supposed to fade into obscurity, not outshine someone like Evan.”Lila put the cup down, her hands trembling slightly. “I… I don’t know what to think anymore, Mother. Evan was supposed to be my future, but now… Calen… He’s—” She hesitated, unsure how to express the storm of emotions inside her.“Enough of this nonsense!

  • The God of War Calen Storm   Postpone The Wedding

    The room fell silent, all eyes on Elijah. Reginald raised an eyebrow, curious but guarded. Helena’s smile faltered slightly, and Evan looked between the Frosts with mild apprehension.“What is it, Mr. Frost?” Reginald asked, his deep voice steady but edged with curiosity.Elijah exchanged a quick glance with Marylin before continuing. “As you’re aware, the recent training exercises have garnered significant attention, not just for our families but also among the public. While we remain deeply committed to the union of our families, Marylin and I believe it may be prudent to consider postponing the wedding.”The words hung in the air like a thunderclap. Evan’s face fell, his eyes darting to Lila, who looked down at her plate, avoiding his gaze. Helena stiffened, her expression unreadable, while Reginald leaned back slightly, his brow furrowing in thought.“Postpone?” Helena repeated, her voice calm but

    Elijah stammered, his usual composure cracking under the weight of Helena’s words. "I—Reginald, you must understand... your family’s support has been a lifeline for us. Without Reginald’s investment in our shipping enterprise last year, we would have..." He trailed off, unable to voice the catastrophic outcome that had nearly befallen them.The Frosts’ shipping business, a cornerstone of their wealth and influence, had been saved by the Drakes during a financial crisis that threatened to sink them entirely. Without that support, not only would they have faced ruin, but they would also owe debts they could never repay.Helena’s eyes glinted coldly, her tone sharp. "You would have lost everything, Elijah. And now, after all we’ve done, you think you can treat my son like some passing suitor? Delay his rightful place beside your daughter as though he hasn’t earned it?"Reginald added, his voice steady but firm, "Evan

  • The God of War Calen Storm   The Storm

    The night was dark, the moon veiled behind thick, rolling clouds. Calen walked slowly through the narrow, uneven path leading to the cemetery, his steps heavy with exhaustion and the lingering pain in his injured leg. Each step reminded him of the duel with Evan Drake and the price he’d paid to prove himself.He clutched the hilt of his sword tightly—not as a weapon, but as a crutch to steady himself. This sword, once his father’s, had become his constant companion, a symbol of his unspoken promise to honor the name "Storm."Reaching the cemetery gates, he pushed them open with a creak. The air was cold, laden with the scent of rain, and the surrounding silence was broken only by the rustle of leaves in the growing wind. Calen made his way to the gravestone marked with his father’s name, its surface weathered by time.He knelt down, placing a hand on the stone. His heart ached as he stared at it, a million emotions surging through him. For a long moment, he stayed silent, letting the

  • The God of War Calen Storm   The Servant

    Calen walked back to the military barracks, his steps steady despite the murmurs and pointed stares of the soldiers gathered along the way. His clothes were singed from the lightning strike, the edges blackened, and faint scorch marks marred his skin. Yet, he moved as if untouched by the ordeal—a living anomaly that left everyone speechless."How is he even walking?" a young soldier whispered, his voice hushed but audible enough to carry through the tense air."Shouldn't he be dead?" another muttered, incredulous.Calen ignored the whispers, his gaze fixed forward. He had no time to entertain their astonishment or their questions. Instead, he headed straight to the military bathing quarters, eager to wash off the grime, sweat, and remnants of his burned clothing.The warm water cascading over his body was soothing, melting away the tension that clung to his muscles. As he stood under the shower, something extraordinary began to happen. The cuts, bruises, and deep aches from his duel w

  • The God of War Calen Storm   Enough!

    Calen finished dressing and walked out of the military bathhouse, his steps steady and purposeful as his thoughts remained elsewhere—on the storm, his newfound power, and what it meant for his future.Meanwhile, the servant woman from earlier quickly exited the military bathhouse as well, clutching Calen’s oversized coat around her shoulders. She headed toward the correct servants’ bathhouse, her face still flushed with embarrassment. As she approached, she encountered a young soldier who appeared to be on cleaning duty near the servants’ quarters."Excuse me," she said, stopping him. "That man back there in the bathhouse... who is he?"The soldier raised an eyebrow, surprised by her ignorance. "You mean you don’t know? That’s Calen Storm. The son of Aldric Storm."Her eyes widened. "Calen Storm? I’ve heard that name before.""Everyone has," the soldier replied with a mix of admiration and gossiping glee. "He’s been the talk of the barracks—and the entire court—lately. Did you know he

  • The God of War Calen Storm   Divorce?

    Astra froze, her heart pounding as she stood in the shadow of Lila’s fury. She had barely been in the Frost household for a day, and now she found herself at the center of a storm she didn’t understand."N-Nona, I swear, I only met him earlier today!" Astra stammered, clutching her hands tightly in front of her.Lila stepped closer, her eyes sharp and accusing. "Don’t lie to me, Astra. A servant doesn’t just meet Calen Storm and end up with his coat. What were you doing with him? What’s your connection?"Astra shook her head vehemently, her voice trembling. "I’m telling the truth, My Lady! I went to the wrong bathhouse by mistake, and he was there. I was... I didn’t have proper clothes, and he lent me his coat. That’s all!"Lila’s expression hardened, disbelief etched on her face. "You expect me to believe that? A mistake in the bathhouse, and he just gave you his coat? Do you think I’m a fool?"Tears pricked Astra’s eyes. She dropped to her knees, bowing her head low in desperation.

  • This Cannot Happen

    Calen watched as Queen Elara trembled, rain-soaked and vulnerable in the middle of the garden. His voice was gentle but firm as he asked, "Your Majesty, are you alright? Do you need me to escort you back to your chamber?"Elara's breath hitched. She couldn't look at him. Her heart pounded so loudly in her chest that she feared he might hear it. The warmth of his hand still lingered on hers, a touch so foreign yet… comforting.No. This cannot happen.Without another word, she turned sharply on her heel and ran. Her soaked dress clung to her as she rushed through the palace gardens, past the lantern-lit corridors, and up the stone steps leading to her chamber. She didn’t dare look back.I cannot fall for him. He is the enemy. A general of Aerondale. A man sent here to see my downfall.Her breathing was ragged when she finally reached her chamber. She slammed the door shut and pressed her back against it, hands clutching the fabric over her racing heart.But the Sacred River…The River h

  • The Rain

    Calen remained hidden in the shadows, his sharp eyes fixed on the stone doorway built into the palace wall. One by one, the priestesses emerged from within, their hoods drawn low over their faces, their expressions grim. Their movements were hurried, almost anxious, as if burdened by something that had just transpired inside.But Queen Elara was not among them.Calen's brows furrowed. What had happened in there? Why was the queen still inside?He stayed rooted to his spot, waiting, watching. Minutes dragged on like hours, the night stretching into silence except for the occasional roll of distant thunder. And then, finally, the door creaked open again.Elara stepped out.Even from a distance, Calen could see that something was wrong. Her posture, usually so poised and commanding, was frail. Her steps were unsteady, and as she passed under the dim glow of a nearby lantern, he caught sight of her face.Tear-streaked. Eyes swollen a

  • Don't Know What to Do

    Queen Elara knelt by the river’s edge, her fingers trembling as they grazed the cool surface of the water. The Sacred River, once the life force of Vynoria, was now weakened—its flow sluggish, its once-lustrous glow barely a flicker.Desperation clawed at her chest. Why? She had done everything in her power to restore it. The rituals, the offerings, the prayers—nothing had worked.Tears welled in her eyes, but she refused to wipe them away. One by one, they slipped down her cheeks, falling into the water. Her voice, hoarse with exhaustion and despair, barely rose above a whisper."What do you need?"Silence.Her fingers curled into fists, still submerged in the river. “I have given everything,” she choked out. “And yet you continue to wither. Vynoria is on the brink of ruin, and I—” Her voice broke. She swallowed the lump in her throat. “I cannot fail them. I cannot fail my mother and father. Please…” Her fingers tightened. “Tell me what

  • Love?

    The night was cloaked in heavy silence, broken only by the distant calls of nocturnal creatures. Under the cover of darkness, Queen Elara moved swiftly through the hidden corridors of the palace, her robes flowing like shadows in the dim torchlight. Behind her, the priestesses followed, their hoods drawn, their steps silent.They emerged at the towering stone wall—an unassuming barrier that concealed the most sacred place in Vynoria. No ordinary person would ever know of the hidden door built seamlessly into its structure.Elara placed her palm against the cold stone, whispering the ancient words of passage. A faint glow pulsed beneath her hand before the wall groaned softly, shifting inward just enough for them to slip through.“Hurry,” she instructed in a hushed voice.One by one, the priestesses stepped inside, and the moment the last one entered, Elara pulled the door shut behind them, sealing the entrance. The world outside disappeared.<

  • Secret Ritual

    The quiet knock at the door pulled Queen Elara from her troubled thoughts. She turned away from the window, her emerald eyes dark with exhaustion. "Enter," she called.The door creaked open, revealing Seraphina. Her expression was tense, her usual composure slightly shaken. "Your Majesty," she began, stepping forward. "I bring news from the priestesses."Elara straightened, already anticipating bad news. "Go on."Seraphina hesitated for only a moment before speaking. "The Sacred River is taking longer to recover than we initially expected. The ritual with the Eastern relic was successful, but… something is causing a delay. The energy isn’t returning at the pace we predicted."Elara exhaled sharply, her fingers curling into a fist. She had feared as much. Time was slipping through her grasp, and she could not afford endless delays. "We need to accelerate the process. We will conduct an additional ritual," she said firmly. "Prepare everything necess

  • The Rebels

    Queen Elara sat by the window of her chamber, the silver moonlight fading as the first hints of dawn painted the horizon. She had barely slept. No matter how much she tried to push the thoughts away, they returned with relentless persistence. Calen Storm.Her fingers tapped lightly on the wooden surface of the table. She should have been focused on The Sacred River, on strengthening it so Vynoria could stand against Aerondale. Yet, her failure last night gnawed at her. The river had rejected her efforts. Had she miscalculated the ritual? Or had her own wavering resolve weakened its effect?Her gaze flickered to her reflection in the polished metal mirror across the room. She looked the same—proud, composed, the Queen of Vynoria. But she felt different.Calen had saved her life. Twice.She exhaled sharply, rubbing her temple. It shouldn’t have mattered. He was still an enemy. A threat to her kingdom. His presence in Rivermoore was a danger, his all

  • She Would Kill Him

    Dawn had barely broken.A pale gray light stretched across the horizon as Evan Drake paced impatiently near the secluded entrance of his family’s estate. His breath curled in the cold morning air, but he barely noticed.His fists clenched. The waiting was unbearable.Finally, the sound of footsteps broke the silence. A hooded figure emerged from the shadows, moving swiftly toward him. Evan’s sharp eyes locked onto the spy, his expression dark with expectation.“Well?” Evan demanded, voice clipped. “What did you find?”The spy hesitated before shaking his head. “Nothing.”Evan’s expression twisted in frustration. “Nothing?”“Rivermoore is locked down,” the spy explained. “Ever since Calen Storm arrived, Queen Elara has tightened her security. No outsiders are allowed in or out. Even merchants are being turned away at the borders.”Evan let

  • Heartbeats

    Calen exhaled sharply, steadying himself before finally releasing Elara. The warmth of his embrace disappeared as he swiftly stood, putting a careful distance between them. His eyes flickered over her, as if making sure she was truly unharmed, before he placed his fist over his chest in a crisp, disciplined salute."I’m relieved that Your Majesty is unharmed."His voice was even—calm, composed. As if nothing had happened. As if she hadn’t been trapped beneath him, lost in his gaze, breathless from something more than just the fire.Elara swallowed hard, struggling to regain her own composure. She was Queen Elara Wynn. She did not falter. She did not waver. But the rapid beating of her heart betrayed her.Before she could gather her thoughts, the thundering sound of footsteps echoed through the night.Torches bobbed in the darkness as her royal guards rushed into the clearing, swords drawn, eyes scanning for threats. Shout

  • Waiting for the Right Moment

    Queen Elara Wynn walked gracefully through the marble corridors of her palace, her emerald-green gown flowing behind her like a river of silk. A small, satisfied smile played on her lips—Calen Storm had agreed to delay his answer to King Ryan Ashford. That meant more time.More time for The Sacred River to regain its strength. More time to prepare. More time to eliminate Calen Storm before he could return to Aerondale.As she entered her private chamber, Seraphina was already waiting for her. The high priestess sat beside the tall arched window, bathed in the golden afternoon light, her long silver hair cascading down her back. The scent of burning incense filled the air, calming yet laced with something ominous.Seraphina looked up as Elara entered. “I take it he agreed?”Elara nodded, unfastening the veil from her head and setting it aside. “Yes. He will wait. A week, perhaps more. It gives us time.”Seraphina exhale
