《lord fear》5. I changed my mind
Advertisement
POV: vile
The wasps returned with a few captured dwarves, I make a pit in the ground and order the wasps to put them in it. I stand over them until they all notice me and quiet down, I sit down at the edge and start sharping a stick.
“Hello everybody my name is vile and I brought you here to be my workers, you lucky few have the great opportunity to serve me.”
“Go to hell you bastard!” somebody in the pit yelled.
“Zagat bring that person up here.”
“Yez mazter.”
The man is brought out of the pit and is now standing in front of me. He was a strong looking male; I took note of the hatred coming from his eyes as he looked at me. I walked a distance away and faced him.
“I like your spirt mister! You will be my demonstration for today, all you have to do is come and fight me and if you make me admit defeat I will let everyone here go.”
The dwarf smiled and spit on the ground.
“I’ll teach you a thing or two about us dwarves!”
What vile didn’t know was this dwarf was a retired captain. The dwarf kicked off the ground and ran towards vile.
The dwarf threw out a punch at my face; I caught his risk in my hand and snapped it back.
“Ahhhhhhhh!
I giggled. “You make such a funny face when I do this”
I bend his hand back more causing him to sink to his knees. I could feel him struggle to break free from my grip.
“Thank you Mr. Dwarf for playing with me but you use is no longer needed”
I shot my towards his neck, he looked at me with a steal resolve not afraid of what was about to come. I snapped his neck making his head turn sharply to the side. I picked up his body and threw it in the pit. A female dwarf screamed could be heard with a few others cursing me. I didn’t care or felt nothing towards these people, maybe if they were mine to control only then I would care slightly. Even the creatures around me are only my playthings and luckily putting those under my control helped me unlock common knowledge. It may be little but it will come in handy to understand a few things.

I went through my head to think about some of the powers I have unlocked recently. I wanted to get a better understanding of them.
LAIR MAKING: allows me to create a home using my magic to shape the environment around me.
LAIR DEFENSE: makes it so I can set runes traps and defense runes on doors and stuff.
LAIR OFFENSE: I can send my lair guards out to attack things outside of my lair. That could come in handy.
LAIR GUARD GOLEM: gives me the power to create lifeless creatures using the elements. I can summon theses creature using rifts that connect between me and them. And shape them how I want. Depending on how I make them depends on what they are going to be good at. So if I made a skinny golem I think it would be good for speed, Seems there powered by my magic and runes also.
TAME: allows me to basically tame creatures and have them as a companion. I could also make them into summons. I would be able to send them into a dimensional plan and call them when I need them. To do this I would have to create a signature with my magic and place it onto their souls.
RUNE: runes are symbols of power that can amplify magic to be stronger. When I use runes it comes natural to me like an extra arm. I just think about the action I want and the runes form into what I want. Like today for example I wanted something to protect me from the arrows and the runes formed on their own. Runes allows you to make things stronger, the doors in front of my lair have runes that make the doors strong against magic attacks.
I was really interested in the golems but for now I had to put a hold on my plans for this village. I walked back to the pit and jumped inside.

“Hey”
The people looked at me in shocked and confusion. I started killing them.
“hahahaha I changed my mind about you all.”
They had nowhere to run, they could only die as I moved and jabbed my hand into their chest. Women men and children lifeless bodies filled the hole. There was only one dwarf left.
“why are you doing this I thought you were going to keep us alive.”
“I was but I had a change of plans”
“Please don’t kill me! Please, please, please”
“I am going to kill you; you’re not any special then the people who died befoe you”
“so all this death was for nothing”
I moved and stabbed my hand through her throat; blood flowed out onto my hand. It was warm and thick. Her eyes looked straight into mine; I could see the life fading away from her.
“It wasn’t for nothing, it was for my enjoyment.” I smiled at her.

On the Road to Elspar (Book 1)
The year is 1329. The Huntress' War has entered its tenth year, inflaming competing nationalisms and pitting the Confederacy of Caldrein against one of the continent's superpowers, the Tenereian Union. Desperately outnumbered, the Confederacy has relied on the prowess of its famed Caldran mercenaries, with highly-trained and experienced warbands returning from foreign conflicts to the defense of their homeland, and it is on their backs that Caldrein has successfully mounted a valiant defense for a decade. But they are losing, and day by day, with all the grace of a sledgehammer, the vast Tenereian armies take one more bit of Caldran territory, one footstep at a time. Sixteen-year-old Neianne from the village of Caelon has submitted herself to Faulkren Academy, one of the centuries-old institutions established to train the next generation of Caldrein's elite soldiers of fortune, to learn the ways of wars for three years before embarking upon the defense of her country. Her dryad family once hailed from reclusive woodland communes isolated from Caldrein's complicated mainstream society, and her upbringing leaves the shy village girl unprepared to suddenly train alongside other apprentices from backgrounds as low as the dirty slums of Caldrein's cities and as high as the halls of aristocratic power. Yet the war is eroding the norms and traditions that the Caldran people have long considered part of their national mythos, and the tensions within the confederacy that have long simmered under the surface - race, class, community, identity - are slowly but surely dividing its people, and Neianne must grow and discover who she really is, even as the war that she is steadfastly training for comes to its inexorable end... On the Road to Elspar is a fantasy quest - a work of interactive fiction wherein readers get to vote on what happens next at critical junctures - that is the first entry in a story that follows Neianne of Caelon, which first began on July 20, 2016. Originally a three-part in medias res prologue to a larger story titled On the Elsparian Road, it was eventually decided that this section - which covers Neianne's three years at Faulkren Academy - become its own independent story due to length, structural, and accessibility reasons. Despite this being a reader interactive work of fiction, due to logistical and verification concerns, voting will only be counted on its thread on the forum Sufficient Velocity, where this story originally began. As such, the content here on Royal Road serves as a story-only archive. You are, of course, entirely welcome to enjoy On the Road to Elspar as a conventional work of fiction, just as you are welcome to comment, discuss, and provide critique. But if you would like to participate in the voting, then I would be honored to welcome you on Sufficient Velocity. To facilitate accessibility and to ensure the best reading experience, this story-only version of On the Road to Elspar will be updated at a periodic pace, even though further content exists, so as to not overwhelm new readers on Royal Road. If you enjoy this story, wish to binge it, and/or want to participate in voting immediately, you may of course read all additional content via the link provided above. This paragraph will be removed once the content on Royal Road catches up with what has already been posted in its original thread. Cover artwork by DreamSyndd.
