《Heir of the Divine Phoenix》56. Upcoming War [2]

He knocked the door before entering and seeing the old Butler holding his younger brother gently as he slowly rocked the little Hero till sleep before putting the latter on the crib and leaving ''Thanks for taking care of him...'' Feuer thanked the old Butler while giving him 10 Platinum Coins, it's not like he has any other aside from Platinum Coins, anyway.
Bowing, the old Butler left as Feuer and Silvy observed Damon, the silver-haired girl observed as she said ''Is he your siblings, Feuer? I can feel Mana on him, is he what everyone calls 'Hero, the Holy Child'?''
''...'' Feuer didn't say anything as he observed a little amount of Mana slowly circulating on Damon young body, he wasn't surprised that he has Mana despite not having been awakened yet, only Humans, for some reason, need to be awakened when they turn 7, most races don't need it, many being born directly with it or awakening by themselves.
'Probably due to my bloodline being sealed and stuff, I wasn't able to use it since I was born, I wonder if he'll grow up fast like Goldy, what do you think, Goldy?' Feuer thought to himself while summoning Goldy, that looked briefly towards Silvy before he said
''He'll grow up faster than most humans but not so fast as beasts, when he turns 1, his body and mind will be the same as a kid of about four years old and so on till he turns four, from then on, he'll grow like an ordinary human, this happens because Angels grow up faster and they mature at 4 years old, which is the same age as a 16-year-old human, the age they hit maturity and become adults, their body stay at that age forever...''

Feeling slightly surprised, Feuer said ''This means that Angels are immortal? Also, I feel it is a bit creepy the fact that he'll be four when he's actually one, this doesn't make any sense...'' it felt like some kind of nonsense.
''Mm, your growth being like an ordinary human is actually simple to explain, it wasn't only your bloodline that was sealed, your actual race was sealed, changed genetically till it was awakened, which is why you grew up slowly, the Silver Dragon at our side, per example, she was born with the same age as an ordinary 14-year-old human...'' Goldy said as Feuer facepalmed, does his partner really think this kind of nonsense is normal?
Sighing, Feuer looked to his brother as his gaze turned gentle, at least this means that he'll be able to take care of himself, as the so-called Hero, the Holy Child, his brother talent must be high, four years is more than enough to create a good foundation to him and the latter will also be strong by then, which means he actually has a year to create it...
'Father, mother and stepmother, I'll give the best environment to little Damon, no matter if you're on the so-called Heaven or Hell, I hope that you'll forgive me for not being able to save you, the least I can do is to give him a good life, when he's ready to protect himself, I'll probably be ready to ascend to the [Divine Zenith], probably a hella dangerous place but I must do this not only for me but also for little Damon and my friends...'
Feuer thought to himself, as soon as his brother is able to walk, talk and do everything a four-year-old kid can do, he'll start little Damon training to prepare him to the world, while he wants to protect Damon from the world danger, he knows that only by having enough strength that Damon will truly be able to protect himself from the danger that lurks on the shadows of the world.

Since then, a few days passed as a middle-aged man with green-colored hair stood in front of an army, the man is the current Ean King ''Attention, my soldiers, we're ready to attack the Geist Kingdom, they dared to take the Crown Prince as a hostage, however, we don't need to worry, we'll crush their body, destroy their spirit and take over the Kingdom!''
The soldiers on the Army roared in agreement as they marched towards the Geist Kingdom direction, meanwhile, Feuer was in front of the old Magicrafter, that had a satisfied smile on his old, wrinkled face ''Brat, behold, my greatest creation will be introduced to you, I did as you asked, an armor that would adapt to your body, I added a special material named [Metan], it gives a healing property to the armor, if it is destroyed, you'll only need to supply it with Mana regularly so it will fix itself!''
In front of Feuer was now a snow white-colored armor, it wasn't old-fashioned like Metal Armors, it looked good and had a cold atmosphere around it, also having scales as it was made by Dragon Scales, however, in the armor, it wasn't ugly, it was as if a Dragon was coiling on the armor, holding great power, appearing to be extremely resistant but also comfortable, he wore it, Feuer moved around as he felt how flexible the armor was, adapting to his every movement perfectly, he even made small black-colored gloves with Fake Mithril because he thought it was cool, despite being a glove, it was also extremely resistant.
''Brat, while I was making your armor and weapon, I felt enlightened, both weapon and armor are at Tier 7, as you probably know, Tier 7 Magicrafts can be bounded by soul and grow alongside the owner with certain materials, of course, anyway, here, pick your sword, I'm sure that you'll need it on the war that is coming, hm?'' The old Magicrafter said as he narrowed his eyes while looking towards the horizon, Feuer nodded while taking the sword.
The sword looked majestic, its handle being black-colored with golden-colored patterns while the blade itself was long and sharp, being blue-colored while it had some dark blue highlights, looking as if it was made by shining crystals, as Feuer touched it, he felt its lightness, a sword perfect to someone like him.
''You need to drop your blood on the weapon and armor for it to be bounded...'' The old Magicrafter reminded Feuer as he dropped it on both of them, instantly, he felt it is bounded to something, as if he could summon and hide it anytime he wanted, he then tried to do so as both armor and weapon disappeared in shining lights, then, Feuer tried to summon it as the armor was on his body once again and the sword on his right hand.
Looking towards the horizon, Feuer's eyes narrowed as killing intent was spread through the air ''I'll name the armor as [Kingdom Guardian] and the sword as [Kingdom Destroyer], now, I have a Kingdom to loot...'' he said before disappearing, the old Magicrafter thought to himself 'I pity you, Ean King...'

Mana Soul
Like many others across the multiverse, Markus was chosen as this world's hero to fight against the steadily approaching cataclysm. Only, something went horribly wrong. Left with only a handful of memories, Markus has spent years clawing his way up from poverty and officially registered as an adventurer to try and make his fortune. Unfortunately, Artificers are the least combat-capable class of the four classes, and Markus has no connections to join an established party. With the fate of countless worlds hanging in the balance, a chance meeting will determine the course of a war nearly as old as reality itself. Warning: Markus has trauma induced amnesia and will occasionally 'act out of character' or make 'poorly thought out' decisions. These events are rather obvously telegraphed abd represent conflicts between his current personality and the one repressed alongside his trauma. Just something to bear in mind.The story will bounce predominantly back and forth between the primary protagonists every couple of chapters. The time stream is linear, so events are not revisted/rehashed/retold through the narrative format. Characters may comment on something that has occurred, but that's different. Just giving a heads up.Chapters will be around 7-9k and updated 1/week on the same schedule as my other story Ogre Tyrant over the weekend.[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

8 131The Dawnfire Archives
It begins in the endless wastes, with an unknown man arriving at the bottom of the tallest mountain in existence. A mysterious voice provides few directions, bringing more questions than answers. Regardless, after choosing a name and weapon... the man begins to climb. He will not be alone on this journey. A young individual from a different reality has also made his way to The Climb. But what does their arrival bode for the people of this world? And where does climbing the mountain truly lead? This is my second novel on Royal Road, the first being "Beyond the Horizon's Eye", and the third being "The Card Thief of Culnivar". This story is much more GameLIT than Xianxia, and takes place in a different setting with an entirely new cast of characters. It does, however, contain several ties between the stories. Average post between 1000 - 3000 words.
