《Justice》Chapter 7 - The past
Advertisement
Ever since all these events happened, I've been wanting to get answers, and why the king was hunting me down.
"Chow, why is the King hunting me down? I've done nothing wrong"
"Because of your blood line, and because of what our ancestors did to the royal family"
"What do you mean?"
"you mean you don't know?"
I shook my head. I knew nothing of what happened in the past.
"Sigh. Sit down Laika, I'll tell you the story of the past"
I sat down to listen to Chow's story, I felt this story might take a while to tell.
"15 years ago, in the royal palace, all of the knights were quite capable of taking care of criminals, but a new threat arrived. Dragons came to the land. The King thought of this as a chance to take control of them and use them to conquer other lands. When the Dragons refused to help the King, he was furious.
"The King plotted to kill all the dragons, and succeeded in killing one, but just barely. The King heard of this and thought of an easier way to kill the dragons. He summoned his wizards and sorcerers and they performed experiments, and after many years, they finally found a weakness. Dragonite stone, created from boiling dragon blood and diamonds. The King was pleased to find that his army finally might have a chance to beat dragons. He sent a army of 50 men all with Dragonite swords and arrows"
"The army was surprised with their discovery, the dragons drew weak when they got too close to the stone and upon being hit, could not move. After they defeated 5 dragons, they felt like going on a killing spree but decided to stop and tell the king their discovery. When the King heard of this victory, he was speechless, pleased that after months of experimenting and test but after a while, he began to chuckle, and that chuckle turned into a laugh... a demonic laugh"

"Those pathetic dragons think they are superior to mankind! but with our new weapons and armor, they'll never stand a chance!"
"So that’s what they did. The king had the finest blacksmiths in the kingdom craft more Dragonite swords, halberds, arrow tips and armor. Now at that time the king's army had many men and armor, so the king finally made up his mind... he declared war on dragon kind"
"Little did the king know, the dragons also had an ace up their sleeve. There were some people who respected dragon kind and wanted to help them in war. That's when one smart dragon came up with an idea. This dragon asked for firstborn over the age of 15 and had them train for weeks before the war, and during that time he asked for one child to help him with experiments. A week before the war, the dragon finally came out from his cave with the boy"
"What the people saw changed the way people thought the dragons where capable of"

Fateless: The Silver Lining
It has been ten years of peace for the Union since the end of the great war with the eastern barbarian tribes, yet in the cold north of the Union's land, a new threat is looming. This time, an ambitious Lord is seeking to restore the yore pride of his kin, forcing the weakened Union into yet another unwanted war, as he ramps up the ranks of his army with thieves, murderers and mercenaries.* * *The temperature inside the forge was nearly twice as high as the one outside. A black-haired girl hammered a steel ingot into the shape of a blade. The heat of the steam was draining her stamina away, but her focus remained sharp as her sweat streamed down her face. Hit after hit, for hours, the sound of the hammering steel followed the rhythm of her breathing. Exhausted, she placed the blade into the water and wiped the sweat off her face using a drenched rag. Why are they screaming? Vatra dipped the rag back in the water, twisted it, and approached the window. Her mouth opened as her world shattered again into the living nightmare she had wilfully tried to forget. She bit her lips; it wasn’t a dream. The pulse of her heart rose. A cold sweat prickled her back. A mother was running, and a child was screaming. A torrent of smoke was emerging from the roof of her neighbour. Vatra’s eyes blinked. The mother lay on the ground, a spear through her back. A torch circled in the air and landed on the roof of her workshop. In the distance, a man wearing a banner well known to the world… Fateless is a philosophical medieval dark low fantasy centered on war, militaristic campaigns and geopolitical conflicts between multiple empires. This story follows the fate of Vatra, a former slave from the eastern Nar Empire who was raised in a culture far away from her own, forced into warfare against her will, and the fate of Lanaya, an ambitious half-angel exiled from her home whose existence is seen as heresy. As they wished for peace, both chose a path opposed to one another until their fate crossed. In this story where war dictates the law, love strikes them as a poisoned balm to which they grasp for with all their might, as it is in the darkest of times that the smallest flames may burn the brightest. * * * Tome 1 already completed and available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.ca/Fateless-Silver-Hugo-Emmanuel-Simard-Wallot/dp/B09LGSH1KK Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Hugo-Emmanuel-Simard-Wallot-100547579135891/ I will publish 1 chapter per week (sometimes 2 if the chapters are too short for my liking).
