Year 2, Winter, Second Month, Second Week. “We should rest here for a few weeks or at least until the storm ends…” Elder Said had a pitiful expression, and unfortunately, she wasn’t the only one. Walking through the forest was wearing their health bit by bit. Every day, another person fell from either magic poisoning or exhaustion. They have covered a lot of ground, but not without a cost, and right now, the price of keep moving might have become too expensive. In the first few days, they…-

Year 2, Winter, First Month, Fourth Week. “Around 50 years ago. The three of us were sent to a post village in the first section of the Wind region, located near the border with the Fire region. The three infiltrated agents are always trained in different areas besides the basic training. Omero was trained in politics and he would strive for the position of Chief in the village, which isn’t difficult for a new village. Bill was trained in different crafts so he could provide basic skills and help…

Year 2, Winter, First Month, Fourth Week. Omero was caught unprepared by Karl’s ultimatum so he had to control himself to don’t give any indication that the boy was right. He masterfully changed his “I was caught” expression to an offended one. Marlen, on the other hand, already counted on someone confronting them at some point, however, she didn’t expect that someone would be Karl. Although some Councillors thought that he was being disrespectful, they couldn’t speak up since they were…

Year 2, Winter, First Month, Third Week. Windsor, who still remained in the awkward standoff with the other cloaked figures, noticed the hunters leaving and started to gather energy over his free hand, clearly something to intercept the fleeing villagers. However, the talkative cloaked figure moved to the left, symbolically blocking the Mage’s attack, who responded by making an unpleasant expression. “Are you really trying to get in my way? Even your people should know better than meddling into…

Year 2, Winter, First Month, Third Week. From the Royals to commoners, passing through all races, regardless of the Country or their heritage, everybody accepts the Origin as the immutable truth. Although fate and destiny are also universally accepted, few truly understand the threads that connect all beings, and even fewer would be able to grasp it. As the ancient saying goes, fate is a capricious thing, its tides change like the wind’s direction. However, there’s no such a thing as coincidence,…

Year 2, Winter, First Month, Third Week. The moment of the explosion. Mages live interesting but really ironic lives, they sacrifice everything, even their families, to advance and reach the apex of magic. Life-saving spells are just a good example of this, they pay a lot to get it and put a lot of training into something they wish to never use. Even though they imagined the situation when they would use it, most would be surprised when the time comes, or even furious, if in their case, like…

Year 2, Winter, First Month, Third Week. With everything moving as planned, the rescue team left and soon was time for Omero to go outside. Karl had given him the go signal and they would soon start forming the earth barrier, so he moved. Time seemed to pass very slowly, they could barely hear the conversation outside. Only a few key members waited for Omero close to the border. The rest had already been moved to the opposite side of the barrier, and everything they could spare was placed between them…

Year 2, Winter, First Month, Third Week. In the Council meeting before the explosion. “… Then, after we get Tael away, we would proceed with the explosion, Karl?” “Hmm… Before, I said that I had a way of causing a massive explosion but it would be costly and very dangerous, so we left it as last resort. Let me briefly explain how I could do it…” Everyone listened attentively as he explained. “My mother should also know about it because it’s one of the most common questions we…

Year 2, Winter, First Month, Third Week. When dealing with dangerous and unpredictable situations, a simple plan has more chances of achieving better results, and that’s what the Council decided to bet on. Unfortunately, the consequences of their plan couldn’t be avoided, so they hesitated, but in the end, they could only follow through with it. Whether they would be able to execute it, was an entirely different matter. Lew observed carefully as Karl placed the arrowhead on top of the Array. The…

Year 2, Winter, First Month, Third Week. Even with the cold, the sweat accumulated on Tael’s forehead. With only a few hours of daylight, he had to act now or they would be completely left at the mercy of their enemies. After peeking a dozen times, he was sure of their numbers. Fourteen armored and two robed figures, which probably meant only two Mages and the rest were either Guards or Fighters. The situation was both fortunate and dire. Fortunate because their worst fear was facing the Kingdom’s…
