《A Sword Master's Travels (1)》Chapter 10 - Conclusion
Advertisement
The king didn't look the least bit alarmed at Fang's declaration. "Ayda what's the meaning of this? Don't you see that I'm busy? I couldn't care less about you and your boyfriend. You're not real royalty anyway." He went back to pleasuring himself with the women around him. Most of them seemed happy but their eyes told a story of misery and fury.
Ayda looked even more disgusted at the man who called himself her father. "This is Fang, an ambassador of the humans who comes in peace. They want to make peace with us father!" She lied smoothly. This made Fang raise an eyebrow.
"Ambassador of the humans? What's that bullshit, they can take their peace and shove it right up their arses! We'll kill every single of them if we can!" The king cursed and shouted. Fang was grinning at the king and turned to Ayda.
"So you brought me here to make peace between your two races?" Ayda nodded. "This war's gone on long enough. They drove us to the brink of extinction, now it's time to make peace. There's not point in going further with this."
The drunk/drugged king shrugged the women off of him and pointed at Ayda. "The only way this is going to end is with the death of all the humans! I won't stand for any less! Take this man out and have him executed immediately!"
Ayda looked even more disgusted. "Father, he's an ambassador of the humans let's at least listen to what he has to say. Let the council of elders hear his message at least."
The king looked at her for a moment and then smiled. "Fine, just for you... It'll be tomorrow. Now get the hell out!" Fang could see the killing intent in the king's eyes.

The duo left the room and a pair of guards escorted them to their arranged rooms. Along the way, "I apologize for my father Sir Fang. I have some supporters amongst the elders, we won't let you come to any harm." Ayda said. A smile came across Fang's face as he thought of something. "Alright."
After sleeping and waiting around for a bit Fang was escorted to the supposed meeting room still wearing his gray robes. Navigating the massive wooden halls they came upon the enterance to the meeting room. Ayda and six elder figures stood outside of it.
The guards respectfully left Fang with the group. "These are all of my supporters for peace. Meet Elder..." Ayda introduced the elders. "Just say that you were sent as a peace ambassador from the humans and we'll take care of the rest. Alright?" Fang laughed internally.
"Ayda is too innocent expecting an outside stranger to work with her. Good thing it's me." Fang thought.
They filed into the room after their preparations were complete. It consisted of a very large circular ampitheater with a podium settled in the middle at the lowest point. Fang was directed to the middle.
Various handsome and beautiful gray haired elders walked in and the meeting began. "What is your message ambassador?" One of Ayda's supporters questioned.
"The humans want peace with the elves." There was an immediate outrage at Fang's fake announcement. The supporters argued with the other elders as the council discussed this shocking news. A majority of the elders called for a continuation of the war.
It was a bit unfair, the supporters numbering six while the opposition numbered twenty. The king sat at the highest point of the ampitheater with a beautiful and dignified noble woman. A few of what was presumably his sons sat on the same level. They were all sneering and calling out. "How foolish! The humans are just afraid, now is the time to strike! They all deserve to die!"

Fang stood at his podium and watched all of the commotion. "They're all beautiful, but stupid. No wonder they lost. Time to crash the party." Fang thought. He drew his wooden sword, the guards had thought it no threat after checking it for magic.
None of the elders except a few noticed Fang's action. With a speed faster than the elder's eyes could see Fang thrust out his innumerable times. The shouting stopped as holes appeared in each of the opposing elder's heads, along with the king's family. Blood trickled out of each of these holes as they collapsed on the spot.
Ayda, who was sitting near the bottom level, and her supporters all stopped mid-sentence. Their jaws dropped as they saw they were the only ones alive in the council room. They simultaneously all turned and looked at Fang who looked calm.
"Now you don't have any problem with making peace. I've had enough of that corruption. Enslaving humans and wanting to continue a war they had no chance of winning? They were only thinking of themselves." Fang announced.
Their faces went through a variety of changes, shock, anger, fear, and finally resignation. Ayda was the final one to come back to her senses. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!"
"I solved your problem." Fang responded. Fang had killed many people throughout his life but there was always a reason. He was taught the difference between right and wrong and had experienced many things. Selfish people causing the extinction of a race was a good enough reason as any to kill.
On the plus side, he got to test his enlightenments in the foundations of swordsmanship. Those thrusts were nearly twice as fast as Fang could attack before!
"Calm down Ayda, I just solved your problem. They all deserved to die anyway for almost killing your race." Fang waved his hand and said dismissively.
After the massacre of the council of elders Ayda was announced as the new queen of the elven people with her supporters becoming the high council. Peace was achieved with the humans, who didn't care much anyway about such a weak and fallen race.
Fang left the elven capital and began travelling once again. A massive red city came into view as Fang walked away from the capital, heart and mind calm as the stillest waters.
"Here I am again..."

My World To Live
[Do Not Read this version, New FINAL version uploaded August 9th, 2021 as separate fiction, click to link here on RR. Essairyn had never felt truly alive on Earth. It felt like something was missing ever since she was born, but even after nearly 20 years of mundane living, she could never pinpoint what this or the emptiness in her heart was. Suddenly, she awakens in a grandiose, primordial forest and encounters both demons and spirits in a parallel world called Sol'h'meyr. She befriends, in particular, a sassy fox-spirit named Akari who just reincarnated after three millennia. Essairyn is an abnormal human with elemental powers, and Akari is being chased by those of her dark past. Together, they set out on an adventure in a world of magic, danger, mystery, and intrigue. But this not a game. That simple adventure is actually the modest beginnings in a chain of disruptions that tear even the dimensional fabric of time and space. No one, not even Essairyn, was who she thought she was. And not even the gods can change the destiny of the universes... A single promise shook eternity’s existence. — Fantasy || Adventure || Romance || Action || Mystery || Drama || Science Fiction — The My World To Live (MWTL) series, the alternative short name is Canaan, is comprised of three books symbolically named My World, To Live, and My World To Live. Two years prior, the entire story had been planned and detailed out from start to finish before actual writing. Thus, the story will never be dropped. While the genre is largely Fantasy, the book is comprised of many other elements including a School Life (Magic Academy) story portion. MWTL has a lot of scattered symbolism and allusions, hence, the mystery aspect. The science fiction elements progressively become more pronounced, and the slow romance is a late bloomer. The female lead is strong and independent, and her backstory and identity unravel as drivers of the plot. Expect lots of action/fighting throughout and scattered philosophical and psychological themes arising. It's a human journey to find the essence of one's living and purpose. What kind of world do I wish to live for? Any feedback is greatly appreciated. I hope to share the journey with you~! Canaan's Original and New Covers: If you're curious about my art and the various covers I made for this series and other authors, I have a RR thread that makes free covers and shows art processes. [October 1, 2020 Notice: Hello, I aplogize to all followers for suddenly taking an extended hiatus. Life threw a lot at my face and then the pandemic happened, so I hadn't been able to write until around the last month when I decided to challenge myself and finish the first book in this series. I am ok now, and thank you for your patience and understanding. No words can express how much every reader means to me. RR was the first writing platform that I ever felt accomplished to any small degree, so I am forever grateful to it. Multiples changes have been made since this final revision and writing of the ending, so please see the latest chapter detailing the update. This also includes my decision to submit this story to the 2020 Wattys contest (the deadline was Sept 30th). That means I will not be posting the updated version of this story on here until the contest is over (since I doubt I'll win anyway lol). And so, if you want to read the full, now completed (woohoo!) story, please go to my Wattpad. Thank you once again, and wishing you all the very best health and happiness! FINAL UPDATE, March 7, 2021: The complete story has been re-posted after the Wattys. This version that was on Wattys is the one being re-posted. However, the Final Version (which will be on a separate book from this to remain organized, and is technically the fifth version of the story xD) will be released May 2021. For more information, please read this update linked here. Thank you to all readers for taking this two year journey with me!

But looming over the gears of fate, their enemies follow the same prophesies. With the unknown close upon them, Kingard and his allies face a mortal quest to restore their infected empire. Praise for Awakening: If you love Anne McCaffrey, J.R.R. Tolkien and Tad Williams, then Awakening is a novel you will surely want to pick up. D.N.Frost is a consummate world-builder with a knack for creating characters that are complex and three-dimensional. Frost writes with graceful prose that is descriptive and well-edited. The plot is fast-paced and entertaining. What really sets this novel apart is the cartography, which is a spectacular accomplishment. Incredible world-building! - M.L.

An Id of Primal Chaos
TAG DISCLAIMER: The tags 'Portal Fantasy / isekai', 'High Fantasy', and 'Non-Human Lead' do not take place until later on in the novel. Probably mid-way through the first volume. The 'villainous lead' tag is a very loose tag. Some of the things the mc does can be considered villainous to those with a staunch moral code, however, I have not made the mc out to be overtly villainous. True Title: Advent of the Silent Storm (I came up with the original title a while ago, before I had even written a single chapter. It still kind of fits but this new title fits a lot better. I would change it but I don't know if it would screw up the recommendation algorithm.) Excerpt: My mind wanders through the soup of unconsciousness, still startlingly awake despite my physical form’s stasis. Electricity completely paralyzes the air around me and lightning flashes in a constant strobe of blinding light. The ground, thousands of feet below my being has been wiped clean of all manmade artifice and natural beauty; leveled, through absolute power. My power. Synopsis: Tetal Faelen, a very successful businessman with lofty goals, is introduced to an omniscient being through less than pleasant means. This being has an irresistible offer for Tetal with next to no downside. Tetal can’t help but wonder, “What’s the catch?” Additional Notes: Second novel I have started within the Web of Interconnected Realities. My other novel is not posted on this site so don't bother looking for it. I might post it here in the future.
