Chapter 2: Loyalty of the Dead
[Lord Antonnio Coros, Council Member, The Third]
‘Oh No!!’ Lord Antonio thought.
The people who laughed and smiled watching the Emperor might have enjoyed it, but he knew better.
“SILENCE!!” Roared Emperor Charles suddenly.
As if his calm mask of a leader was broken, he grabbed one of the fools that was approaching him and proceeded to twist the fool’s head. Humiliated and angered, the Emperor gave the second decree for the day.
“Kill them all!”
The thirteen Council members stood shocked, those who are present included were their kin, comrades in arm that have stood the challenges facing the Empire and high ranking nobles. People who are loyal to the Empire. Lord Antonnio step forward to plead to the King to revoke his command. Without even a glance, the Emperor willed his command to the Council.
They knew of the Emperor’s facade to hide his narcissistic side even before the accession of the Emperor, but they never thought he would go this far.
For the oath is clear; He who has the Sigil is the Emperor.
Bonded by the Oath with the Sigil, they faced the mass behind them. By the time the audience could calm themselves, magic of all kind rain upon them. Their laughter turns to scream of pain and misery. Some who were lucky managed to put up defenses in time.
With eyes moist with tears of blood, Lord Antonnio faced his house, the House of Coros. They stood in a pentagon shield centering with his only son of barely five.
His gaze stops as his wife screaming at him. Pleading to end this madness.
Struggling to stop his body, he unwillingly gathered mana onto his hand and summon all the air near the audience in throne room to outside the castle. Suffocating those who were present. In the same time, creating a void barrier to provide quietness as to not disturb the Emperor any longer. While those who survived still where mercilessly cut down by other members of The Council.

His prize magic that is feared throughout the continent were finally unleash. A magic where no screams or plea can even be heard.
When the deed is done, they stood in front of the corpses and faced the Emperor.
“Long Live the Emperor!” they spoke in unison three times.
Their face shows eternal loyalty and brim with pride.
For only Heaven knows the true pain and anguish locked inside their heart.

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.
