Edenshield. The city, no matter how peaceful it seemed- undercurrents swept beneath the concrete roads and behind the fortified walls. After all, the city was home to the nobles, the church, and the underworld- three separate parties with different ideals and goals. But no matter how much tension there was between the factions, peace prevailed in the community- at least on the surface. Nothing major happened in the recent years that incited the public. But today, a news swept through the whole city- a…-

Sorry for the delay. Here- a long chapter as compensation. ********* Afternoon. The sky was dark, but not dark enough to ensure a rainfall. The Royal Palace of Aurgoth. King Leopold was walking to and fro in his room with a grimace on his face. His wife, who was sitting on the bed did nothing but following with her majestic eyes. She had never seen the man she had spent more than half of her life with in such tension, barring his previous tantrum of course. She had been asking him for days what…

Everyone’s eyes furrowed further. “Pardon?” The brown haired Elise said. “Just like you, we are here on a mission as well.” Adrian rested his back on the crouch. “And for that, we need influence- the authority to move many people on our wills.” “I do not know what your mission is and I was ordered not to ask.” Elise shook her head. “Even though we were commanded to follow you, I have to apologise.” Her black eyes turned serious as she looked right into the eyes of the young Royal…

I was searching for the flower that symbolises ‘Secrecy’. And apparently (and surprisingly), it is ‘Rose’. ********* “Is that so?” The middle aged woman frowned. The scar faced Halseed was standing just before her. “Who?” She asked. “‘Guests’ sent by the one above. One’s a young woman and the other’s a young man. The lady almost killed the three of us with just one snap of her fingers.” He sighed. Her brows furrowed even further. “This is a troublesome matter indeed. I…

The room was quiet- with only one rhythmic sound permeating through the air. There were subtle cracks on a few of the furniture. But the sofas Adrian and Irene were sitting upon were completely free from such imperfections. *Tap. Tap. Tap* Adrian’s right index fingers were clashing against the wooden armrest while his head lied on his other hand- the one that was pillared on the other arm of the crouch. Irene, on the other hand, was looking into nothingness- her body still, and face…

The Confederation had used countless means to besiege the unassailable Edenshield. To get through those giant and indestructible walls, what had they not used? They tried to fly over them, break through them, sneak into them and of course- dig tunnels through the ground under them. A considerable amount of tunnels had been dug under the city, some by the attackers for the sake of siege, some by the defenders to evacuate their citizens. After the wars were over, many were filled up, never to be seen again.…

“Pardon?” The young man scowled, so did the tall middle aged man and the young girl, Ley. “You heard it right.” Adrian abled to the closest crouch to him and sat down, crossing his legs. “From now on, I am in charge of your group.” Irene followed and sat on the sofa beside him. It was his job to do all these things. All she needed to do was watch, learn, and protect him. The middle aged man stepped forward. “Who are you to decide that? Do you have anything from ‘the one above’ that…

A shoutout to my dear reader ‘Silver’. He is my top voter with a whopping 252 votes. This number might sound low for power stones, but for one single person who can only vote by a limited quantity daily- it’s a lot. One has to vote 3 power stones for 84 days to get there. And my book is not even 120 days old yet. Thanks a lot! ****** What stood between the Empire of the East and Confedration of the West was a mountain range, a dense forest, and a gulf. At the north, was the Ariel mountain range.…

Midnight. There was a full moon above in the sky, shining bright. There were clouds above, but none came in the way of the moon, as if they were giving it third respect. Below, in a narrow alley carpeted by grey bricks. Two figures could be seen. On was a tall middle aged man with a scar on his face. And the other was a short and delicate looking young woman. Her skin was a bit tanned. Both of them were wearing black clothes. The ragged looking attires were anything other than something nobles would…

Phew. Done. Back to my old schedule from today. Chapter publishes just before reset. Enjoy! ********* Midday. The sun shone brightly and the day was comparatively clear. But the sunlight could barely sneak through the dense cluster of leaves and trees of the Wyvian forest. *Splash. Splash* *Neigh* Both Adrian and Irene were riding through marshy grounds of the woods. The constant heavy rainfall took its toll on the otherwise hard grounds of the forest. They had started their journey early in the…
