*Rustle. Rustle* Adrian was running through the thick shrubbery of the forest. His jet black hair swayed while his refine coat fluttered in the wind. ****** 10 minutes earlier. “I have a plan.” “I am listening.” The old man said. Adrian took the sword on his lap in his right hand and leaned forward. He softly grazed the the tip of the sword to the fortified carriage floor. It easily pierced in- akin to a heated knife entering a bar of soft butter. The old man frowned. Adrian cut off a…-

Elesbog forest. It was a relative large woodland that was shared by three nations- two of them being Aurgoth and Darkshore. There was nothing noteworthy about this forest except the Tistan River that flowed past it. Tistan was one of the largest rivers in the continent- flowing through all of the four major nations of the Confederation. An emerald green carriage embroidered with wreaths and waving the insignia of the Royal family of Nemphis was wheeling through the bumpy roads of the forest. The old…

Aurgoth. The nation was built upon the most blessed land there was in Ervilia. There were rich ores of minerals, gold, magic crystals, exotic gems, and other magical metals scattered across the region. Moreover, the soil was fertile- capable of producing at least 10% more crops from the same area of land compared to other nations. Furthermore, the country bordered three of the other major Kingdoms- Nemphis, Northguard and Darkshore. It was also connected to many of the tier 1 Kingdoms, either directly…

The middle aged man with ordinary features- black hair and brown eyes- had an extraordinary demeanour. Each of his steps left an invisible mark on the grounds. His aura was almost visible, ethereal- it was giving off a golden glow. He looked as if he was the incarnation of authority and majesty itself. His broad shoulders looked as if they could lift the entire sky. But unlike the other attendees, he was not enamoured in gold or other shiny jewels. The golden crown on his head was all the pieces of rare…

The maids moved away, clearing the dashing black clad youth’s path towards the golden castle. Adrian had an indifferent countenance as he walked over the read carpet in the noblest way possible- with graceful, steady and equidistant steps. The guards did their best to not bring shame to their country by kneeling to a noble of another country. In the end, they barely prevailed. The young maids, on the other hand, were staring at the otherworldly handsomeness of the youth with utmost attention, embedding…

Evening. The sky above got cloudier and cloudier since the start of the journey from Damcus. The cottony and dark clouds above blocked the little light the evening sun was trying to gift. Winds were howling, blowing off dust and leaves, and other lost things everywhere. But it barely did anything to the old man sitting at the front of the royal coach, or the mighty magical beasts pulling it. The old man looked up at the day, but dark sky. “It’s going to be a downpour.” He muttered. And he was…

The next day. Morning. Unlike the other days, the sun was visible on the sky, illuminating the world with its rays. The clouds were not completely absent though, bits and pieces could be seen scattered across the horizon. Rain would not be coming for some time now. The Kingdom of Damcus. It was a small tier 1 Kingdom sandwiched by two heavyweights- Northguard to the North, and Aurgoth to the South. Among the few tier 1 Kingdoms the Confederation had, it was not ranked at the top, neither at the…

Northguard. Though it was called a Kingdom, ‘Queendom’ would be a better term to use. Because, since the beginning, the country had always been in the reins of women. There were no Kings- only royal consorts. The reason? Because of the special second property the Heera family had- a property that put them on the very top of circlers, a property only compatible to women. Northguard. As it’s name suggest, the sole duty of the whole Kingdom was to defend against the calamity that hides in the North.…

*Clip-Clop* Two dozens of fully armoured royal guards forced marched to the carriage. They stood in two separate rows, with a rough 2 meters gap between them, creating a way for the extremely special guest that came all the way from the East- the powerful Kingdom of Nemphis. The old ‘coachman’ stepped down from his driver’s seat and respectfully opened the carriage door. A youth with otherworldly looks stepped out. His jet black coat and hair fluttered with the gentle breeze. His eyes, which was…

The Royal Palace of the Kingdom of Nemphis. Some said that it was the grandest establishment on Ervilia even exceeding the Imperial Citadel and the Church of Ervil of the Empire. When it came to exterior the Church of Ervil was supreme. Nothing could beat the Imperial Citadel the resident of the ruling family of the Empire in size. According to hearsay one could fit a whole city into that behemoth of a building. These two had been the ‘Two wonders’ of Ervilia. And both of them belonged to the Empire.…
