This battle was a lost cause, but Cal knew there would be no escape—not when nearly all the higher-ups had already been killed and the few that remained were too busy trying to save their own lives. He wiped the blood around his eyes to prevent it from blocking his vision. That was the last thing he needed at this time, a preventable handicap when he was fighting for his life. Cal stood in what used to be the best residence hall in the guild, where he had lived since joining over two years ago. Now, it…-

“Hey, Maryn. I have some word from the spark market…” “No names, from now on… And I’m shade now. What did hear?” “Got it, shade. Word is the Duchess is sending some real Fire to the Oasis, some big badass Mage… They say she’s pi**ed with the losses and wants to burn the Beastkin for good. This is worth some coins, right? Oh, and you need to find someone else to cover the market, I’m changing my spot to the Burning Bucks… Pete’s gang wants to get some of my “bread”. I told…-

Year 5, Winter, First Month, Third Week On the third week of winter, snow fell all over the Serion Kingdom painting in white cities, villages, houses, and castles alike. Well, everywhere except for the south, in the fire region. The land touched by the everlasting fire spell would never know cold or ice. Throughout all the extension of the flaming dominion, the fire energies burned bright, enhancing the sun’s blessing by the day and leaving the warmth of the earth by night. Close to the eastern fire…

Karl wore a complicated expression while he tried to estimate it. The reason why he didn’t want to reveal his plans and expectations for the cart project, was exactly this kind of behavior. He knew the others would drive him mad with questions that still didn’t have answers. Fortunately, they were at least sensible enough to not appear with unrealistic requests like building enough carts to transport back all the rescued. That would take years and more resources that he could count. “Humm… It’s…

Everyone stopped their considerations and waited for Omero. As risky as it could be, they were curious to learn what scheme he had devised. “We make use of the same system that was used to oppress us. The regions enforce their autonomy and the higher nobles delegate their tasks to lower nobles. They don’t share information willingly and they would rather try to solve problems by themselves for fear of punishment. So, we use this same isolation to free people in secret.” This time, the reply came…

Lew’s report was transmitted through the communicator and progressed slowly. Yet, nobody dared to not pay attention to it. Although they could certainly use more numbers, the Ministry of Defense's priorities laid on resources. Since they couldn’t match the Kingdom with numbers or magic power, they would need undenied superiority in information and strategy. The plan was to avoid confrontation, but that would happen eventually. So, they have to control the board, choosing where, when, and how to fight.…

The idea caused some disagreement amongst the Council, but they couldn’t deny that it had its merits. The most obvious challenge was personnel, but once Lew explained that they didn’t need a specific place for it since liquor could be sold in the food stores, the idea became possible. Even so, it would require transportation, both from AP to the Capital and from the Serion Kingdom to AP. Actually, the Council didn’t like giving money to the Kingdom, but they had to come to terms with it until they…

For now, the records only offered an overview of their population, leaving the complex magic applications promised by Karl to an unforeseen future. However, the records were in no way useless. Just the age and job distribution accurately registered on them were enough to justify using it. “As we all know, the Ministry of Defense employs most of our citizens, 602 to be exact, and more than half of them are part of the military. Though they represent the biggest group in AK, their requests and complaints…

After they finished discussing AK’s food prospects, Marlen made a gentle nod towards the nervous newcomer. Moira hesitated for a moment but managed to push through the embarrassment and fear. The Minister of Education had been invited to the meeting to participate in the report’s round, and though she was required to take a secrecy oath, the Council was welcoming enough to let her hear the other Ministers’ reports. Of course, any military and security matters would be left for the councilors-only…

Year 5, Winter, First Month, First Week The cold wind swept the dry leaves through the Capital’s main road making the few, who dared to go out, shiver. On normal days, the roads would be filled with eager workers and lively children, but the early winter annunciation dissuaded people from outdoor activities. Though sudden, the cold was anything but unexpected, as winter never failed to come every year. Hopefully, the improvements in the city’s heating circle would be done in a few days, or at least…
