《The Zodians - Book 1: The Outlander》Silhouette and Shield
Advertisement
Only Phalanx, Hargnes, and his parents remain unarmed. Jon looks at the four of them with a puzzled look, but he does not say anything either. Then Jon comes and takes his mother's hand, and gives her a silver shawl. He puts it in her palm, saying:
“This is Dasanilash…” he interrupts, then speaks so quietly that no one could hear. “…You will turn the table.”
Victoria looks at him and then accepts the cloak. Dasanilash is a hooded cloak. When she puts it on, the whole cloak glitters with a beautiful silvery light. But just seconds after she covers it with it, Victoria becomes completely invisible. She seems to disappear without a trace. They all look around in amazement but find nothing. It is not until a moment after Victoria removes the hood that she reappears.
“If you close her eyes and focus on yourself, Dasanilash has another power besides invisibility,” he said.
Indeed, when Victoria does as she is told, she closes her eyes and focuses on herself. When she opens her eyes, she is holding a longsword made of water but as sharp as ordinary swords. Not only that, but she also realises that another version of herself is standing beside her. Another "Victoria", identical to her exactly, even a curled strand of hair is the same. The two "Victoria" look at each other without taking their eyes off each other while the rest are equally shocked, only Jon remains calm. He says:
“It is your illusion. You can create as many illusions as you want. Illusions only go away when you absorb them or they get attacked.”
Victoria turns to look at her mirage. She takes it by the hand, feeling an infinite truth. Then Victoria closes her eyes tightly and concentrates her strength the same way she summons her illusion. The clone Victoria then re-enters her body and disappears, the water sword also dissipating. But she also knows that, with this ability, the situation of the battle could change in favour of her side. And just hope, her hunch is right.

"And this is yours, father. The Pyrossid Shield,” Jon hands it to him. "Father, use it with the Mighty Dragon sword."
Reind takes the Pyrossid shield and grasps it firmly with his left hand, while with his right he draws the Mighty Dragon fastened to his belt. Jon continues:
“Father, go over there, towards the rock in front of you,” then he turns to Leila who was standing next to him. "Can you let thunder strike my father's shield?"
"Of course!"
With that, Leila once again uses her power. She summons a pillar of thunder from above, which attacks Reind's Pyrossid shield. Thinking, if an ordinary person receives a lightning strike like this, there will be only ashes left. But amazingly, all the damage of the lightning column is absorbed by the Pyrossid. No one knows how or how all that power is transformed by the Pyrossid and passes through Reind's body. His eyes are so bright that his eyeballs have turned white, and his whole body is surrounded by electric flashes. That energy runs through his body and then focuses on the Mighty Dragon he is holding in his hand. Thus, it is clear that Pyrossid is an energy absorber, and the weapon, for Reind, is the Mighty Dragon that will explode that huge source of energy. After completely absorbing Leila's thunder column, Reind is like a ball of energy about to explode. His strength right now is unbelievable. Reind swings the billowing sword surrounded by lightning at the rock in front of him. Immediately, a death slash carrying the power of thunder explodes the rock, and sweeps a wide area around it.

Path of the Stonebreaker
Femira spent her life stealing scraps and looting corpses just to survive another day. When she stumbles upon the chance to steal another's identity, she thinks she's found the ticket to an easy life. But she soon finds the glamour of the runewielder's hall hides as much peril as the bloodslick streets. Can she steal the greatest prize of all, the knowledge to reshape the earth, and make it out alive? Abandoned by his abusive father at the far reaches of the world, Daegan may not have the powers of his ancestors but he refuses to die in banishment. Will he make it back home in time to prevent a brewing war? ------------------- This is a gritty drama-driven, rambling tale that presents mysteries early on that the characters work to unravel throughout the story. It swings between action, drama, and sometimes some darker comedy. Warning: A whole lot of profanity, alcohol, drugs, implied violence, actual violence and mega-violence—the kind that involves knives sliding into eye sockets and brains spilling onto floors—the usual stuff, scenes of intimacy, mercenaries, pirates, lots of moral ambiguity, including a wizard that likes to make tea with the heat sucked from his victim's bodies and a heap of world-ending monsters ready to eat people. _______________ Expectations: Updates every Monday and Thursday. Chapters will be between 2,000 and 5,000 words. I'm Irish and write in "Irish English" which is to say that I don't use much of the letter "z"
