《Ethereal Creator of Realms》BK 1: Chapter 15 Hollow Victory Part 2
Advertisement
Fallen peak in the distance is a few miles behind us visible just below the horizon.
The Star Stream in the sky beginning to slowly brighten, dying the sky a mix of pink and purples over the tower trees of the jungle.
I command my army of fellow wildes through the treetops, and canopies, leaping forward through the tree branches a few of them leaping above the canopy's leaves showing the enemy where we are.
This is not a surprise attack.
This is a fear tactic.
This is war.
My first war.
I don't count that last one where those three attacked Guardians of Origin.
I was nothing more than a hostage for political reasons.
Damn, I'm glad I killed them.
Now I just need to deal with these damned Regals, enslaving my brethren.
I see smoke starting to rise along the tree line ahead of us, embers dancing among the smokestacks.
They lit it on fire.
Shit.
They're trying to flush us out or dispatch us along with the forest.
But the jungle shouldn't be able to burn so easily, unless.
Magic.
........New plan we'll come out where they least expect it and attack them where their least guarded.
Oracle Seri, "All units forward through the flames let us show these regal scum what we're made of!!!!"
I lead my army leaping through the branches and into the flames.
The first one out of the flames my body is only slightly singed, a few black marks here and there.
I land on the ashen ground channeling the world's energy through myself and releasing in a shock-wave as my feet touch the ground, a bronze saber in each hand.
My brothers and sisters follow behind me bursting through the flames barely even burned.
I turn my eyes to the mages on the ground and command the animals of the forest to attack them.

Massive packs of greyrats swarm the regals ranks dispatching the mages still on their backs or attempting to get up.
Great Hawks fly down and snatch up those not already dead.
Iguana's dash through their ranks and bite off the heads off several regal soldiers.
Channeling the world's energy into my blades I lead my brothers and sisters into the fray.
Seri, "Let us show these horned ones, what it means to be a wildes!!!"
Just as our charge is nearing into the fray, a massive shock-wave of mana blasts away the wild animals killing them but leaves the regals untouched, and a strong wind slowing our charge to a halt.
Gazing at the scene I and my army stand there speechless.
Enemy Commander, "Form up, do not let such beasts overtake you in your stupor!
Mages line up!
Mage Knights to the front!
Spellguard surround them!
Spell Monks penetrate their ranks and break them down!
We shall show them what Regal's are!!!"
A large male regal dressed in adorned bronze armor and a red cape surrounded by several powerful-looking mages in hoods walks up out of the ashen fog blown up by the shock-waves force, and among his troops.
He stares me right in the eyes before turn his head to head back to the rear, my ears picking up him whisper, "Women have no place on the front line."
Hearing this my anger boils as the wind begins to blow harder, anger and defiance filling my mind.
What do you know, you think I wanted to be here.
You think I wanted my people to be attacked.
No, I came here because I had to, because I need to be here.
I came here to keep you from enslaving more of my people.
I came here to keep you from razing our lands, and settlements.

I came here to kill all of you.
The wind grows stronger the regal general once again taking notice, as a storm brews and thunder sounds with flashes of lightning.
Lightning strikes the regal's army and before I can hold back my rage a single sentence escapes my lips.
Seri, "Kill the Horned Ones!!!!!!!"
My army responding in kind with a resonating storm-like chorus.
Wildes Army, "YYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!"
Swept up in the feeling I respond in kind, leading their anger and our charge.
Seri, "For the glory of Wildes, for all of our enslaved brothers and sisters, for our countless fallen comrades, for the safety of our loved ones!!!!!!!!
WE FIGHT!!!"
AS I charge along with my brothers and sisters towards our enemy who has taken so much from us, my people chant.
Wildes Army, "WE FIGHT!!! WE FIGHT!!! WE FIGHT!!! WE FIGHT!!! WE FIGHT!!! WE FIGHT!! WE FIGHT!!!WE FIGHT!!! WE FIGHT!!! WE FIGHT!!! WE FIGHT!!! WE FIGHT!!! WE FIGHT!! WE FIGHT!!!WE FIGHT!!! WE FIGHT!!! WE FIGHT!!! WE FIGHT!!! WE FIGHT!!! WE FIGHT!! WE FIGHT!!!WE FIGHT!!! WE FIGHT!!! WE FIGHT!!! WE FIGHT!!! WE FIGHT!!! WE FIGHT!! WE FIGHT!!!WE FIGHT!!! WE FIGHT!!! WE FIGHT!!! WE FIGHT!!! WE FIGHT!!! WE FIGHT!! WE FIGHT!!!WE FIGHT!!! WE FIGHT!!! WE FIGHT!!! WE FIGHT!!! WE FIGHT!!! WE FIGHT!! WE FIGHT!!!"
Inhaling the word we, and exhaling fight, our every breath a chant flowing in the resonance of the chorus of our brothers and sisters.
As we penetrate their ranks.
WE FIGHT!!!
As we slay our foes.
WE FIGHT!!!
As our brothers and sisters fall dead.
WE FIGHT!!!
As countless more are slain on both sides.
WE FIGHT!!!
As we fight upon their hills of corpses.
WE FIGHT!!!
As I behead their commander and raise it up.
WE FIGHT!!!
As the last Regal takes his breath.
WE FIGHT!!!
As we take a look at our dwindled numbers and massive losses.
We Fight!!
As we burn the corpses of wilde and regal alike.
We fight!
As we march back home with massive losses, not knowing if our current numbers can further defend our territory.
We fight.
I sit on my throne of bronze plated wood, staring forward out the balcony of the keep at the tree-line of the jungle, contemplating our hollow victory, as I see a massive army of Regals approaching.
The words escape my mouth.
"We fight........."

A Broken World [Dropped Pending Rewrite]
This work has been dropped- because I am rewriting it. Look forward to the new and improved "A Broken World," now available HERE on Royal Road! Three thousand years ago, Demonic creatures invaded the world. Though their power seemed irresitable, a band of heroes managed to steal the knowledge of summoning rituals and worlds from them and created, "The Millenial Summoning." A powerful magic that would bring forth a being from another world with the power to change the world forever. The first being summoned became known as "The Speaker," and he brought the power of the Gods with him. Teaching prayers and invocations that blessed humanities legions and began to push back the demons, founding of the "The Church of the Spoken Word" rose to power and a stalemate was reached. Two thousand years ago, that stalemate was broken by the second casting of "The Millenial Summoning," and the arrival of "The First Sorceress," who taught humanity the basics of magic and enchanting. With the power of the Sorceress, the mages, and the priests the tide turned and the Demonic hordes began to be shoved back, signaling hopes of a golden age for mankind. One thousand years ago, the hopes of final victory and a new dawn for mankind were dashed by traitors who slew the participants of the ritual and took their places, using the ritual to bring forth a godlike being from the demons home world, "The Demon King," for no human knew his name, erased millenia of growth reducing humanity to barely a fragment of its former glory. Now the ritual is being cast again, and a new being is being summoned... In our world, after nearly two decades of studious work, Luke Jaeger is making his dream come true. Working and going to school full time, sacrificing his health and social life in his youth, Lucas obtained Doctorates in genetics and virology, as well as associate degrees in business and accounting. The modern world is not easy, and despite it nearly driving him mad from stress, this was the bare minimum he needed to be approved for a business loan to start a company focusing on commercial genetic therapy. Despite the challange of getting his business running, Lucas feels that his work has finally paid off. Lucas's car never left the banks lot, nor was Lucas ever seen again in our world.
