617 The Only King(Part One) When Lawrence woke up in a dark room, the first thing he noticed was that his head was pounding. His body hurt all over, especially in his leg. When he tried to move his hand to check it, Lawrence realized that he had been restrained by metal cuffs.. “Good morning, my dear little brother. How was your rest?” Lawrence’s heart sank at the familiar sound of Marco’s voice. The room was completely dark, so he couldn’t see him, but his malicious intent was obvious.…-

616 Spartan Death ***WARNING: LANGUAGE, GORE, VIOLENCE, AND DISTURBING CONTENT*** “Like Hell our King’s gonna bend the knee to another!” General Anton yelled, followed by a chorus from the men behind them. Lawrence felt his stomach tighten as his anxiety rose a hundred fold. Thousands of corpse soldiers stood behind the three, and had encircled their much smaller group. And if being completely surrounded and outnumbered wasn’t bad enough, his men were now screaming obscenities and threats…

615 Barren Lands ***CONTENT WARNING: LANGUAGE*** Anton grinned mischievously; “Well, it’s not my place to tell a king what to do, it’s his to tell me. So what’s the plan?” Lawrence patted his shoulder; “How about we gather everyone first? That way, I only have to explain things once.” With a nod of approval, the King of Ruscovic and the Commander of the Ruscovic Mage Division set off. It didn’t take long for them to gather just under five-hundred soldiers willing to ‘go for a…

614 Risks Versus Rewards **CONTENT WARNING: LANGUAGE** When King Lawrence had returned to Ruscovic, the first thing he did was make sure that his children were alright. They had been crying on and off about Shasta since she had left them with Maevis and Nicolas. The only times that they seemed alright were when they slept, and when the reindeer would nuzzle them for comfort. As soon as they saw fellow Ruscos, the reindeer had left them, and the royal family had traveled inconspicuously the rest of…

613 Dead Of Night(Part Two) ***WARNING: LANGUAGE, VIOLENCE, DESTRUCTION, AND GRUESOME CONTENT*** “Why aren’t you coming with us?! You can explain everything to Marco later, when witnesses are present. I don’t want you going off with whomever is out there,” Lydia half-pleaded, half-demanded. Lucas led them to the side, and wrapped a comforting arm around her; “Ya ken I canna do that, Lydia. If I run, then Magnus will have to label me a traitor. I dinna understand what’s happening yet,…

612 Dead Of Night(Part One) ***CONTENT WARNING: LANGUAGE*** Lucas Moonstone had been busily writing away at his desk when a servant had burst through his door. It took a moment for him to catch his breath, but the man had managed to get out; “People! Hundreds! Hundreds of’em headin’ this way, me lord!” “What?! In this weather?!” Lucas bellowed as he got up, and practically ran to his window. Astonishment overtook him as he watched men, women, and children heading towards his castle.…

611 Decimation(Part Three) ***WARNING: LANGUAGE, VIOLENCE, GORE, AND DISTURBING CONTENT*** Nicolas barely had time to take a breath as he ushered the remaining Fae away from the falling tree palace. Maevis’ rock wall helped to block the dead soldiers, but it also limited the directions in which the Fae had to run. Many had given up, and huddled down in terror instead of even attempting to run. It made sense to Nic, in a twisted way. Run away to be torn apart by undead soldiers, or be instantly…

610 Decimation(Part Two) ***WARNING: LANGUAGE, VIOLENCE, MASS DEATH, AND DISTURBING CONTENT*** Norvis felt like the greatest in the world as he rode his ‘Decimator’, and began to level Warrick Forest. He had always wanted to build a machine purely made for destruction, but the previous king never allowed him to. Saying that when humans made weapons of mass destruction, they tended to find reasons to use them, and that went against the principles of his rule. Because of this, King Magnus…

609 Decimation(Part One) ***WARNING: LANGUAGE, GORE, VIOLENCE, AND MASS DEATH*** Celestia, Aero, Nicolas, and Maevis all ran for the balcony branch to see what was coming. They could already see the faint glow from the beginnings of a fire along the edge of the boundaries to their sanctuary, but that wasn’t the part that made them worry.. A massive machine that was taller than most of the trees was cutting a line straight through the forest, and heading for the heart of their settlement.…

608 Bureaucratic Roadblocks(Part Two) Jonathan silently watched as Fae after Fae entered the war room. Centaurs, a Minotaur, a few Brownies, several different types of fairies, and even a banshee joined in for the meeting. Each controlled a different sect, land, or was the head of a Fae clan, so their opinions mattered to Celestia and Aero. Even though Celestia was Queen, and had final say on any and every matter; her mother had taught her well. The Empress had drilled the fact into her head that…
