Town of Savaria
Furius knocks on the door of his family’s house.
“Who is…”
“I hope I didn’t miss the wedding.”
“Big brother!”
Tears form on the eyes of Furius’s little sister as she hugs him.
“We thought you died.”
Furius smiles.
“Your older brother won’t die that easily.”
Inside the house, an older woman looks from a room.
“F… Furius?”
“I'm home, mother.”
Furius’s mother slowly walks to him for an embrace.
“I knew you were alive.”
“I’m just glad to be home.”
Mercator, who is behind Furius and is standing using crutches, coughs to get his attention.
“Ah, oh yeah, this is a friend I made in the Army, he’s Mercator. Is it ok if he lives with us for a bit? His home is in Industropolis and it isn’t really a good time for him to go back.”
“Of course! I’m going to call your father, he’s working in the fields. We are having a celebration tonight!”
A few minutes later, Mercator, Furius, and Furius’s family is at the dinner table.
“Son, ever since we got news that the Americans have landed and that your unit had been wiped out, we were extremely worried.”
“Well, we were lucky and barely escaped.”
“What exactly happened?”
“Well... you guys have read the letter I sent you correct?”:
“Yes.”
“Well, Mercator and I got stationed at…”
Through dinner, Furius and Mercator recounts their experience of the war.
“... we were able to get a ride from this nice guy who has a sister near Burdi.”

Near the town of Isca
A knock came on her door.

“Who is it?”
Pomponia slowly walks to her door confused. Usually no one would come to her house seeing that it is secluded. Recently, she had feared that the Americans would barge in during the invasion but that never happened. Even more surprising was that she heard that the Americans didn’t even pillage Industropolis when they arrived and won. Usually a victorious army would pillage and plunder a defended city.
Pomponia opens her door slightly and looks out. A man is there looking down at her.
“Nice to meet you, I am a diplomat from the United States of America. Are you Pomponia Industros?”

Crowds line the streets for miles. Confetti rains down from houses. Long columns of soldiers with bayonets shining from their magirifles march in formation. Behind them, magitrucks pull magiartillery and light, medium, and heavy magipanzers motor along. Squadrons of magiplanes fly overhead. The infantrymen are singing to their National Army marching song
“Our glorious Army marches on human land and sings this glorious song
A rifleman stands on human’s shores and silently hums along
Up and down we move forward
And the whole world may
Curse us or hail us
Whatever they choose to do
Wherever we are, let’s go forwards!
And we shall laugh like this:
Ha-ha ha-ha!
We’re fighting for elves,
We’re fighting for our leader
We’ll give the humans no rest.
Wherever we are, let’s go forwards!
And we shall laugh like this:
Ha-ha ha-ha!
We’re fighting for elves,
We’re fighting for our leader
We’ll give the humans no rest.
We are prepared to fight in many battles,
To the north, south, east, and west
And now we stand ready to fight against the human plague!
Our glorious Army will never rest,
We will destroy all humans

So that no one will disturb our good fortune
And when our ranks are thinned
For us there will be no retreat!
Wherever we are, let’s go forwards!
And we shall laugh like this:
Ha-ha ha-ha!
We’re fighting for elves,
We’re fighting for our leader
We’ll give the humans no rest.
Wherever we are, let’s go forwards!
And we shall laugh like this:
Ha-ha ha-ha!
We’re fighting for elves,
We’re fighting for our leader
We’ll give the humans no rest.”
On a balcony of a palace overlooking a street where soldiers are marching through, a young and tall person stands looking proudly at this display of strength.
“My leader, the Great Magus’s death is nearing. The doctors are saying that he will die within the month.”
“Send him my regards. He has done his duty for all elves. Finalize the preparations for surfacing.”

She Who Reigns the Stars [Vol. 1]
*Remastered version of She Who Reigns the Stars* Tell me, what will become of us? Presenting your Goddess… Asteria, Supreme Deity of Stalera, the nation of the Universe. She who rules the stars with steel eyes and an iron will, the glorious, the beautiful, the adored Goddess, has now fallen under the hands of her nemesis… The Archfiend, Emperor of Talonis, the nation of Vice and its Shadows, has now assumed reign over Stalera after the death of the Goddess. With the power of Vice, its Shadows, and the Universe, it is assumed that he would be satisfied now that Stalera was under his mercy, and the other two nations of Yelerna and Antalis would follow suit. But much to our surprise, he isn’t because he still lacks the… Ruby, The Goddess’ last attempt to save her empire and the entirety of the Universe. Before her death, the Goddess sealed a portion of her blood, which contained the remaining powers of the Universe the Archfiend hadn’t obtained, away from his grasp. She entrusted it to one of her Zodiac Warriors, a member of her elite service known as the Zodiac Warrior Circle, and instructed him to hide the precious jewel on Earth. The restoration of Stalera and the defeat of the Archfiend would lie in the hands of whoever inherited the ruby jewel. Those who inherited the ruby were known as the Goddess’ Successor, and the one next in line to inherit it is… Auriella Corentin. Life was never the same for Auriella the night her Grandmama gave her the ruby jewel and died, thrusting the poor girl into a world of magic. Now in possession of the Goddess’ blood, it wouldn’t be long until the Archfiend found her, killed her, and obtained her ruby inheritance. But Auriella never wanted this responsibility, not when she had her own past and inner demons to battle against. Nevertheless, she finds herself seeking an alliance with the Zodiac Warriors and a strange barista as she learns to wield the powers the Goddess bestowed to her. But as frequent demon attacks, a secret admirer (or stalker), strange notes, and a handsome, amber-eyed boy pile onto her plate, it is no longer clear whether the universe needed Auriella to be their savior or to be the Goddess’ (inferior) replacement. A Goddess in need of redemption. Four Nations at the brink of destruction. Our question still remains unanswered… What will become of us? [Updates Monday, Wednesday, Friday @8pm PST]
