《The Crest of the Emperor》Prologue 2
Advertisement
A beast awoke from its deep slumber; it has been sleeping about a thousand years. With slight irritation from disturbed sleep from an otherworldly presence. Out of curiosity, it expanded its senses and sought for the cause of the disturbance.
His eyes opened wide in surprise, extremely excited, it jumped out and flew to the location which was thousands of miles away. He was renowned for his strength and endless thirst for knowledge. He was extremely curious to explore the unknown and held back nothing to satisfy his curiosity.
The eight high level experts had retreated far from the mountain, as they felt the sudden change in atmosphere. They thought the heavenly elder has used a skill to annihilate the allied forces all together.
But before they could conclude, the flame had poured down to their very right enemy they had come to seal. Even if after fleeing a hundred miles couldn’t withstand them from the pressure, they were trying their best not to be killed losing their consciousness during this catastrophe.
Then they saw a crimson fire approaching rapidly from the horizon. It was aiming at the pillar of fire from the sky.
The crimson fire came to stop, a mile away from the white pillar of flames. There stood a divine ancient dragon. It had a fierce look covered by crimson scales enveloped in flames.
Their heart jumped out of their chest. The might and presence it possessed was godly and it could wipe out an entire continent at its whim.
As the dragon released its aura they suddenly lost consciousness, but the last scene they saw was the dragon diving itself to the flames from the heaven.
When he approached the place, he saw a man kneeling, bathed in white flames from the sky. He was startled by the huge pressure the flames emitted.

He released his aura, suppressing the heaven and found it useless against the white flames. But for an instance he saw the rift in time and space when his power collided the flames.
As a being lived for thousands of years, it understood it was a portal to another dimension forcefully calling out for something.
Exploring the unknown was his greatest passion, which he took risks of great strides to obtain new knowledge. He wasted no more time and dived himself to the flames.
The pressure of the flames was a force to abandon resistance and submit to “its” will, but enduring it, he bound his life-force and divine spirit to the man’s soul kneeling below the ground.
He embedded his consciousness into the man’s mind and soul, sealing his spirit inside his heart.
In middle of the flames, he tried his best to hold his body and mind together. Even though he felt dying, he did not wish to die without a fight.
But then he felt a heavy blow to his mind, something was binding his soul, warm but powerful, kind but aggressive, before he could feel anyyhing anymore he lost grip of his mind felled unconscious.
After a few more minutes, the flames stopped and sky returned to its state of calmness. The light of dawn broke in the distant horizon. Neither the man’s or dragon’s presence remained in the world, leaving nothing left for the proof of their existence …………

The Dreamside Road
Five years after the world fell into chaos, a treasure of artifacts is up for grabs. The relics of the Dreamside Road offer a power that could help rebuild or annihilate what remains. Orson Gregory is an adventurer for hire, but hunts this treasure for answers, not glory. Enoa Cloud’s late aunt helped hide the Dreamside Road, but following in her aunt’s supernatural tradition offers her as much peril as power. Together, Orson and Enoa battle a magic-obsessed militia, clash with a host of rivals, and face constant adventure on their journey to find the Dreamside Road. *Updates Monday and Friday The Dreamside Road is now on TopWebFiction! Vote so people know this exists. _____________________________________ NOTE: The Progression tag applies specifically to Enoa. Also, fair warning, that element doesn't enter the story until she begins her studies. Content: Main characters range in age from teenagers to people in their thirties and older, but it will not contain gratuitous violence or explicit sexual content. It also won’t shy away from implication, anything to make this story and its world feel more real. Characters will freely allude to potentially triggering topics, including living with a disability, facing terminal illness, coping with trauma, surviving societal destabilization, and the consequences of bigotry. At its most intense, the Dreamside Road is a hard PG-13. Worldbuilding: This is not a story with a lot of early exposition scenes, conveniently explaining ‘magic systems’ and political dynamics. Readers will learn, progressively, as the characters do. This story/world has a ‘magic system’, or rather, a set of systems, but the effort to quantify and understand the truth of the setting plays a role in the backstory, as well as in some character motivations. In that same vein, not every character has a firm grasp on the nature of their world, and not every piece of dialog from every character should be taken as entirely truthful Worldbuilding. Also, this isn't the softest Sci-fi. There are at least some basic explanations given for various elements, but Royal Road does not give me a spectrum to choose from. Given the choice between hard and soft, let's just say The Dreamside Road won't be cited in any college Physics papers. Setting and Theme: The Dreamside Road walks the line between fantasy and science fiction and deals with finding one’s place in a changing world. Many of the characters in this story are United States natives and the story begins in the United States, my homeland. However, knowledge or interest in this country is not necessary to understand the story, especially as it progresses. Also, as this is a novel that deals with societal collapse and while that damage may be widespread, in story, I don’t want to overstep and critique the culture of others’ unless I have particular knowledge in a given area. Ultimately, the Dreamside Road is American in the same way Harry Potter is English, fantasies that do not have a full secondary world, but with enough original elements to fully diverge the setting from our the real world.
