《Falling Stardust》Extinct
Advertisement
This day was marked down in Ethos's annals forever. It bore two significant events. The first was the debut of Xasha and the Falling Stardust in the cultivation world, and the other was the Extinction of the elves.
People still marveled about it centuries later. The falling Stardust flew into Leighton on their airships in broad daylight. They were so fast most people only saw a shadow flashing past in the skies. They did not stop and headed straight for the Elven City of Lionfort. Their purpose was to wipe the elves off the pages of time.
It was said that a giant flaming snake appeared in the sky above Lionfort city around noon. Then a Carbonemys appeared above soon after. The two worked together to create a flaming forcefield around the entire Lionfort. The elves were trapped inside for less than a day, but the heat was so unbearable they roasted alive in the streets.
People reported that the smell of burning flesh, along with the agony-filled screams of the elves, traveled hundreds of miles. Their vassals noticed something was wrong and moved out to help, but it was useless. The ones near enough to reach them were quickly defeated, and the ones from afar did not make it in time.
The more powerful elves broke their way out of the barrier, intent on defending their people from this attacker. They were met with only two people: a tall man with long red hair wielding an unusually long sword and a slightly shorter man with green hair wielding a usually long black.
The two men were like specters in the night as they blinked in and out of existence. No matter who came to face them, they lasted a few bouts before they were stripped of their life. For the entire day they did this, no one escaped their grasp. Every single elf inside of Lionfort was left unrecognizable after heat boiled their bodies inside out.

When the flames died down, Lionfort was a pile of melted rocks and dead bodies. It took a few days for the news to spread to all the vassals. Some rejoiced while others were afraid. Whoever their new master was, he was ruthless and decisive, not to mention powerful. They worried for their safety under and Lord like that.
While everyone was preoccupied reacting to and digesting news about the Elven race's extinction, they got even more shocking news. The Lows had also gone extinct after refusing to relinquish their authority and become a vassal of the same strange new people.
This news got gears turning in everyone's head. The discussions got darker as fear ate away at everyone's rationale. It was at this point that another even more shocking piece of news came. Every person who heard it felt like they would faint on the spot.
The Mu people had submitted to this new power and have become a vassal state of theirs. The last piece of news came a few weeks later, but everyone was more prepared for this, given everything that happened. Ethos now had a single ruler, and every single organization in Ethos was now a vassal of that organization.
The name of that organization was Falling Stardust, and their new supreme leader's name was Xasha. Every leader of a vassal state saw an airship appear above their palace. From it came a single person who introduced themself and handed out an invitation to what they called an assembly.
They would meet their new overlord and hear his plans for Ethos, as well as swear their loyalty to him. This was even more of a shock than anything else. An invitation like this was unprecedented. No leader had ever invited all their vassals to discuss anything, much less tell them about his plans.

The last part made the leaders nearly spit blood in their anger. Did he want their loyalty? Was this supposed to be a joke? However, when they remembered the fate of the elves and the Lows. Not to mention how the Falling Stardust did all this in a single day made them think twice about ignoring the invitation.
Their only choice now was to leave Ethos or swear loyalty to their new leader. This was easier said than done, as Estia was at war with itself and every other territory was in turmoil. Ethos was the only peaceful territory in Estia, mainly because it had few resources to exploit. The assembly was in three months, so they had time to decide.
While all of Ethos was in turmoil and everyone was worried about their fate, Xasha couldn't wipe the smile off his face. He stood in his new research facility with Felix, Tulip, his other apprentices, and every other enchanter in the raid teams.
Everyone was busy researching the new environment, materials, and creatures. The sky was filled with a constant supply of airships, bringing over skilled labor from Sutherland to build the new home of the Falling Stardust. Where the Elf city once stood was now an even more amazing city dubbed LoinStar City. It was similar to Stardust in architecture, but the buildings were much farther apart and several hundred times larger and higher.
Xasha figured since there was no shortage of space or resources, there should be some splurging. The Falling Stardust had spread its fingers to every inch of Ethos. Studying, surveying the land, and mapping out resources. The natives got used to seeing airships flash by and became curious about the Falling Stardust.

Child of Dusk
Life can be cruel, especially to those who don't fit in. But what would you do if you were given a second chance? Tim was a nobody during his time on Earth. As a penniless orphan with no friends to speak of, life was tough for him in his little Arizona town in the '90s. He'd utterly lost hope for the future until one day, he was reincarnated as Alvanue, beloved daughter and heir to the Starlit Throne of Silthonduen. Now, Alvanue has everything a princess could ever want: a loving family, loyal comrades and an entire kingdom at her finger tips. But what good is a kingdom when there's a whole world of magic and mystery out there to explore? *** Ok! Disclaimer time. I do edit my own work and I do not have a beta reader, so please feel free to point out any errors or plot holes (politely, of course). Each chapter will be around 4,000 to 6,000 words long and while I was posting every day at the beginning, I think I'll cut that down to once a week for now, excluding bonus chapters! I really don't want to get burned out. I started writing this because I love world building, so this is gonna be heavy on lore. If you're not into that, there's still a ton of character progression and action to look forward to! It's going to be slow at the beginning, but I promise it will pick up eventually. Thanks for checking my story out, I appreciate it a lot!
