《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........."

Where Titans Fall
I was taken from my home and brought to a distant land, Alone. I arrived a Boy, treated as a Slave, Conscripted as a Soldier, survived as a Huntsman, and claimed my vengeance as a Titan. After decades of fighting a war I had no part in, and having lost all those I hold dear. I returned home, a broken and tired man. Only to find that maybe my war has only just begun. Aleks’Andros Titanos returns home after five decades at war, hoping to find a place to belong and a chance at peace. But fate has a cruel sense of humor and old habits die hard, as he’s faced with the realization that his homeworld may not have been as mundane as he’d once thought. Vampires stalk the night and werewolves roam the countryside, all the while witches barter their craft and covert government organizations scheme. Will he find the life he’s looking for, or will he be forced to regain the powers he left behind and face the demons of his past? Only time will tell.

8 160Vemödalen: From The Other Side
War is coming - And when it comes - And where it comes - And whence it comes - The living shall envy the dead One to carry their sword in the name of their goddess and lady, to protect their land and people against the threat of the wicked. They know their path to be the righteous one. One to roam the land, hunting for all apparitions, and be scorned by man and beast alike. They know their path to be an arduous one. One to wander the realm in search of power, to protect themselves and what they believe in. They know their path to be the only one. Writers note: The first chapter will set the standard in terms of mood for the remainder of the story. It also comes to no surprise to me that half the people who read the first part stop reading any further. It has quite a bit of the good ‘ol ‘ultra-violence’ mixed with a great deal of realism. As much as I could fit into it from my own knowledge and experience in the elite forces. The first few chapters will be slow, after, but starting from ‘Restless Destroyer’ the remainder of the world will start to open up, and when we hit ‘Adronitis’ the prologue is largely finished. The novel is well thought out and filled with hidden lore, culture, history. So even if my word choice appears random – it’s not. There is a reason why these chapters take as long as they do. Vermodalen is fantasy adventure, with magic and heroics in an as realistic setting as I could fit. Things are rarely what they seem, and the ugly nature of people bleed through the letters at the turn of every page. I hope you can give this story a fair chance, even if it isn’t immediately to your taste. Lastly, english isn't my first language. It isn't my second one either. So, if you find errors in grammer and spelling, wordplay and sentance building, do let me know, and you will be rewarded by a surge of dopamine that will be released inside your brain for helping someone whom you haven't even seen or heard.

Just a normal day until it wasn't. Joram finds himself in a new world with the woman, quite literally, of his dreams. How did he get there? What happened? Joram finds himself questioning reality, much to his detriment as his assumptions of it being a coma-dream became quite painful. Queue training montage. A.N. - The tags are there just in case.
