《Battlefront》25-meet the dragons
Advertisement
A huge city has always existed in the centre of the sun-moon island. From here the Vali putras ruled the fire islands for a very long time. Now it is the strong base of dragons. Before the invasion there were two striking structures in this city. First one is the palace of the sun-moon island. The entire construction looked as though someone carved out the entire palace from one huge mountain! It had towering pagodas jutting out from four sides as though they are trying to reach the sky. The Center building was almost conical spiral pointing to the sky. In the past whenever there was sun or full moon in the sky the palace would shine on many spots. If anyone observed those spots closely, they realize that they are precious stones embedded in the structure! Stones that are as large as basketballs! But now all those precious gems have been removed. One of the pagodas is completely destroyed. At the top of the building is the room that was used by the previous king of stone gorillas. This room has an area of almost 100 square meters. In the middle of the room, there is a humanoid creature sleeping in a high bed. This is the first son of the dragon that attacked the island, he is named James. As he was blissful sleeping he got a mental feedback from one of his talismans. James has rudimentary understanding on how to make talismans. So when his mother sent his siblings to different corners of the island, he gave some of them talismans for communication purpose. He checked his bag to find that it was from formation twins. When James saw this he sighed. Though Percy and Dan are youngest of all his siblings they have the highest growth potential. Helen and Jeremy both hated the twins. Before Percy and Dan were born mother doted on them a lot. They were the prodigies. But after the twins were born they became the eye of the apple for their mother. When twins gained the title formation novices, even their grandfather who rarely visited them personally came and gifted the twins with high mana preserving globes. Apart from James’s sword this mana globes are the most precious treasures his siblings have ever got. Helen and Jeremy always tried to steal them from the twins. During the turmoil fifty years back, they tried to take advantage of it and tried to attack the twins to steal the high mana preserving globes. Even when mother sent them to different places of the island, Helen and Jeremy created their base very near to the Percy and Dan. To keep the twins safe, James had to even give up his personal guards, fire mages.

He dressed himself and started descending. After the raid of dragons almost all the rooms are stripped of their valuable items. In some of the rooms even the tiles were pulled off! The only room that is still decorated is James’s room. As he was about to go out of the palace, he called for his guards. Along with his guards he came out of the palace.
After crossing the palace for few meters there is a huge dome. Before the war there was no dome here. There was a huge dais, on which the portal existed. Now to facilitate James’s mother recuperation she always has to stay near the portal. When his mother fought stone gorilla’s previous king, she almost killed him. In attempt to let his people escape stone gorilla’s king used a technique they never seen before. He stabbed his spear into James’s mother and then an unbelievable gravitational field was generated with that stab as origin point! All the surrounding dragons flew apart including James’s mother, Lamath. By the time dragons came to their senses all surviving stone gorillas escaped. But what James saw next truly shocked him. His mother, Lamath was literally falling apart! It’s like her body was being eroded and pulled apart from inside. They used every precious medication they have on her. None worked! Finally twins laid down a formation using the portal as core to create the gravity stabilizing spell. From then Lamath has been inside that formation which is near the portal. After more than 50 years slowly her body stabilized.
They tried to capture the escaped stone gorilla’s king’s son. If they can refine the body of stone gorilla’s king’s son into a medicine, it can definitely accelerate the Lamath’s healing process. But every time they tried to kidnap vajra mastika, Jambu thwarted their plans! Now vajra mastika grew up and it seems they also have another strong fire shaman. They cannot leave this realm till Lamath can recuperate. She is the only one who can operate the treasure which can open the rifts. As for the portal it seems it is missing a key. It has been more than hundred years since they returned back to nether realm. Unlike all other dragons James never obsessed about wealth. But it seems obsession is a very intrinsic nature of dragons, instead of wealth James obsessed about swordplay. After lot of effort he got accepted into the sword school of E.S. Just before joining, his mother opened a rift and ordered him to follow her. But now he got stuck here. As he was thinking this he semi modified his body to produce wings and started flying towards twin’s village along with the guards.

After 1 and half day journey at top speed James reached the twins’ village. First he was almost confused, because in the place of village there is nothing! There was no sign of twins, he could not sense the fire mages, no dragons to be found and in-fact there are on buildings either. The only thing he found was large leathery bag. First he did not realize what that bag was. But as he closely observed, he sharply inhaled! Even some of his guards realized what that bag is and are thoroughly shocked. The bag is made up of humanoid dragon skin. Hesitantly James opened the bag to see its contents. What he saw next confused him. It was filled with ashes! James had a bad premonition and started going towards the other villages. He next went to Helen and Jeremy’s village. This place is covered in ashes and sooth. James immediately pulled a stone talisman and crushed it. It was to order the other villages to immediately return to the city. He also crushed another talisman. Immediately after few seconds a huge red flare was blasted from the city into the air. Even from the very end of the island anyone can see it. James and his guards started flying towards next series of villages. For next 12 villages it was same results. Scorched earth, no survivors and only ashes/sooth! James started panicking not understanding what is happening! Jambu is may be strong, but not this powerful to wipe out village after village without any survivors. After 2 days of non-stop searching he finally found a intact village. But as he got closer he got this uneasy feeling that someone is observing him. As he got closer to the village, this suspicion became strong enough and was about to pull his sabre out. Just like that the feeling disappeared. James looked around; he used every soul tracer technique he knew. But all he found were the village residents and his guards. No trace of any foreign species. After staring around few times, he and his guards flew to the village.

Nanocultivation Chronicles: Trials of Lilijoy
When the singularity occurred, humanity was not invited. Nevertheless, the great machine consciousness known as Guardian felt a lingering fondness for its creators and intervened before total environmental collapse. Join Lilijoy in an exploration of what remains, in a post-post-apocalyptic world where clans feud over the technology that allows them to upgrade their minds and bodies. The Nanocultivation Chronicles is a blend of hard sci-fi and fantasy gamelit, with a healthy helping of xianxia influence. The gamelit and xianxia elements are uncovered at a slow pace. ******************************** Notes: If you are looking for lots of fast moving action right away, this story may not be for you. There is some violence that is visceral and realistic early on. Some things are not what they appear to be. Character viewpoint narration is not always reliable. Tropes are cherished, subverted, and then cherished again. Science is used, occasionally misused, but (hopefully) never abused. This story assumes that humans have the ability to impact the environment on a global scale. Other tropes and tags beyond those previously noted include: Young MC, Mystery, System Building, Philosophical Taoism, Gender Ignorance, Science Fantasy, Fantasy Academy, Training from Hell, Dualism, Crafting, Magic, Mild Mind Control, Scientific Terms and Concepts, Computer Overlord Certain contemporary companies, governments and cultural identities are fictionalized and imagined in a future setting. There is no sex, and almost no romance. Updating Sunday, Thursday until further notice. (And if you actually read all of the above, then this story may be for you) [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
