《Destruction》Chapter 6
Advertisement
The next few minutes are a blur for Laia when she has pulled away from the lounge by Hao who is questioning her, not being able to focus on anything other than the blinding rage directed at the man.
Laia was tense as she was led with her group to a room everything was tuned out her just focusing on Him. Her mind was swirling as she thought of ways to kill the man that hurt, that woman Wolf, is what they called her but she wanted to know her actual name. She had to know she had t-
“Laia…”
A wave of calm flowed through her as Azia perches on her shoulder.
“Your emotions are at an all-time high you need to take a breath and relax focus on my voice.”
She did what she was told and took a deep breath.
Her vision comes back to her as she had been glaring at the man, Hao who had been confused by her behavior stood next to her. Jamire who tried to get multiple times to get her attention to calm her down sat with a worried expression on his face.
Lemga sits in a large chair at the front of the long meeting table smirking. He has been observing this girl since he felt the spike of blood lust directed at him. It has been a long time since he has seen a person emit so much anger at him, he has to admit it’s refreshing.
“That is a lot of murderous intent Little Bird it’s getting a little scary.”
He shifts his attention to the golden bird that appeared bird that appeared on her shoulder.
“Ah, so you have been chosen as well then?”
She takes another deep breath to continue to get her bearings before glaring down at the older man but her curiosity makes her speak.

“Chosen?”
Showing an irritating grin ignoring everyone else in the room his focus on her, standing abruptly he waves his arms in a grand gesture.
“Yes! Only people that are chosen by the Gods can have an Emotia!”
He points down at her right hand.
“And It seems you gave some of that power to another.”
She moves her hand to see what he meant realizing that her hand has a Golden Wolf Tattoo that is warm on her skin. She grazes her fingers upon it studying it, she didn't have this before.
“I didn't think one of my guests would find themselves attached to someone from the Old World. That’s probably why you want to murder me right since I hurt Wolf?”
“I...”
He cuts her off full of himself.
“Don’t worry I already knew the answer, now the real question is does your Emotia calm you down, or does it feed into your anger?”
Laia glares at him, Azia sends another wave of calm over her she smiles gratefully for her friend’s ability.
“You should know the answer since I didn't attack you.”
He laughs heartily.
“Good point but it is funny to know that Wolf has someone from the New World so protective of her.”
He turns back to Hao who calmly watched the exchange just in case anything got out of hand.
“Since my curiosity has been sated I think we should go back to the business at hand.”
Legma pulls out a map and spreads it on the table in front of the group.
“Now the Monster is called Neja he has been spreading the mist far in this area but he only seems to attack close to the New World and the Hughu.”
He points between the New World border and moves his hand down to a circle on the map.

“We are a few miles from where the mist is denseness that’s most likely where your target is.”
Hao nods in understanding.
“Do you know exactly what the creature looks like?”
“From reports, it crawls on all fours and has a lizard body with a bullhead.”
“Hmm if you called upon us to fight the creature it must have been reeking a lot of havoc. We will kill this beast for you post haste.”
“There is a problem though our carriages got attacked so it has been destroyed so we don't have a good way to travel.
“So that’s why my escorts didn't show up with you, I have an idea that will be fun.”
He focuses on Laia who just glares back at him.
“I know a Young Wolf that doesn't live far from here and she even has a carriage to take you on your mission but since you need another I can provide that.”
Laia frowns skeptically of his claim.
“But why would she even want to help us don't they attack outsiders?
“Yes but you Little Bird has a connection to Wolf on your right hand.”
The warmth of her right hand makes her glance at it.
“How can you be so sure?”
He lifts his sleeve and shows a pig tattoo.
“Because I was also chosen. Now I will let you discuss this with Wolf because I’m pretty sure you don’t want me anywhere near her right now. I will like to keep my head.”
He leaves the room as Laia unconsciously grabs the hilt of her sword.

8 104The Arcane Prince
Book 1 is complete and fully posted here on RoyalRoad. The story is on break as I work on Book 2, which will be posted once I have finished writing it. Max is a twelve-year-old boy from the slums who dreams of seeing the world, learning magic, and adventure. On the same day that Max learns his first spell, he meets Colt, a noble-born lad on his own path to power. Colt is kind. Oblivious to the world, but kind. By his grace, Max begins to learn under Colt's instructor, even hunting monsters in the forests to the north. Max is talented and grows in power quickly, but as he prepares for the first of his adventures, the kingdom faces the greatest threat in centuries. Posting Schedule: Every 3 days until the end of Book 1 (Chapter 45). IMPORTANT NOTES: 1) This is a story about an OP boy doing OP boy things. By the end of Book 1, there will be few fights that he struggles with, and he will rarely, if ever, find his life in peril. 2) This is a slice-of-life and adventure story, which means that there will be periods of chapters without any action or conflict, but also periods of chapters with battles and exploration/adventure (the latter mostly being Book 2+). 3) There will be NO petty squabbles or conflicts going on in this story, because it is meant to be a fun one, not a high-tension, drama-filled story. So it will NOT be that. If you want lots of action or lots of conflict, then find another story to read because this isn't it. 4) There will never be an overarching evil/villain/conflict to deal with in this story past Book 1. Ever. 5) Book 1 is entirely written and can be considered a standalone story on its own. Right now, the story may last 2-3 books, or it may last 7-10 books. It is guaranteed to make it through Book 2 or 3, and if I decide to go with the bigger journey I have planned after that, then it will be longer. There will be a several-month wait between Book 1 and Book 2. 6) The story contains the sexual content tag, but it will not contain any unless Max and his future boyfriend reach 18+ years of age in-story. If I decide to bring the story to a conclusion with Book 2 or 3, or they never reach that age in the full story for the long journey, then I will remove the tag. 7) There are currently absolutely no plans to make this story into a harem if I write the extended story. If I write the extended story and decide at some point to make it one, then I will add the appropriate tag and inform readers of this decision. However, there are currently zero plans to make it one. 8) This story takes place in its own story universe, with its own rules. Please keep that in mind when reading it and other stories.
8 83Crimson Gloom
Crimson Gloom. The time when the moon turns crimson, illuminating the landscape with its crimson glow. The time when the ‘doors’ to the Crimson Abyss open. One shall gaze into the abyss and gain its secrets and powers. Concurrently, the abyss also gazes into oneself, gaining one’s sanity and humanity. Dimensional rifts appeared spontaneously on Earth, bringing otherworldly demons along with the Crimson Gloom. Bloody battles were fought, noble sacrifices were made. Humans eventually sealed the rifts and successfully defended their homeworld. Alas, the seals were not perfect. The Crimson Abyss continued to exist, slowly influencing Earth and its inhabitants. Half a century of relatively uneventful years passed… humanity slowly descended into corruption, and the majority of them knew nothing of the effects of the Crimson Abyss. Is there only the dreadful gloom left to the world? Can one find brightness in the increasingly gloomy world? The youth who had gazed into the Crimson Abyss had no answer, nor did he care. He only wanted the Crimson Gloom to end, to forever seal the Crimson Abyss. A mistake and a twist of fate led the youth into a seemingly totally different direction. Will he forget his lifelong goal? Will he instead step back onto his initial path that he fervently pursued? Disclaimer: I do not own the image on the cover. Image edited on canva.com. This piece of work, after all, is only a first draft and by no means an end product by an amateur (beginner) writer. Mistakes are bound to happen. With that said, I will strive to improve as I write. Feel free to point out errors and inconsistencies as you read. I thank you for your time. Finally, I pledge to not rewrite this novel until the first draft is completed.
