《Onyx Dragonling》Magic
Advertisement
I decided to spend time in Crestview to learn magic inside the mage tower. I found out I had the affinity for fire, air and lightning magic. I have a suspicion that I have more but these mage's knowledge was too limited. Casting spells was alot more simple for me than humans as all I had to channel all my mana either to my claws or mouth and release the only difference was the fire which actually took my stamina and could be only fired from my mouth. Each element I used came out black which looked extremely cool. When I first used the air element everyone thought I created shadows or darkness. It is cool as I can spread pitch black air around and shroud the area in a cloak of darkness. After a month of studying I decided time to travel again but before I left Travis decided to give me a mage cloak with a medallion that signified that I was officially a mage which I thought was intriguing. A dragonling mageling who wore golden armor that can breathe fire but can't quite yet fly even though he jumped off said mage tower a couple of times and came off more annoyed than damaged.
Heading north from Crestview will lead us to a small unnamed village. The road leading there was still just dirt and the trees weren't much present, just more open plains. The trip there only took us a couple hours of casual walking. We only saw a couple of carriages which rushed once they saw me. The village was actually very lively once i got there. People were moving back and forth around doing different activities like moving furniture, baskets of clothing or barrels of some type of drink. They were so busy they didn't even notice me entering. I have no clue why everyone on this side of the world is so relaxed when there are dire wolves that could hunt them down. To be honest I haven't run into any dire wolves but the one. Maybe they aren't as threatening as I thought. Not wanting to make a scene, I just walked right through the village. I even saw someone looking at me but they just continued what they were doing. Why is that?

"Maybe the mage cloak is magical and alters your look for people."
What would I look like then I wonder? Dwelling on it wouldn't be productive on to our next adventure.

This book is COMPLETELY FINISHED as of 3/10/22, with a sequel currently serializing HERE. Born a fire mage, destined for something greater. For hundreds of years, Sombria has lived in peace thanks to the delicate balance the Council fosters between those with magic and those without. But unrest is brewing under the surface of Sombria, and the Council's tenuous hold may be on the verge of collapsing. All Alara ever wanted was to become a soldier, fighting to protect Sombria from the bruya rebels that threaten its borders with their chaotic magic and lawlessness.

Quenti, raised to hate the oppressive thumb of the Council, has only ever wanted a life of peace away from those who wish to control her. When her abilities are revealed, she finds herself at the center of a world she grew up despising, where magic is suppressed under the illusion of control. And her only means of escape may lie in trusting those she grew up doubting most. When Alara is given one final chance to prove she's worthy of being called a Mage of Sombria, the key to her success may lie within the untrusting Quenti. And Quenti doesn't plan on making things easy. Though as their two lives come crashing together, trusting each other may be the only choice they have to survive what's coming. -- COMMENT AND FOLLOW! 📕 This story is completely written, but these postings on Royal Road double as a beta run, so please feel free to point out typos or inconsistencies. 📖 Content Guidelines: Mild language, PG-13-level violence

The Last Marshal
Weird West Fantasy Noir Once the Republic Marshals brought order to the chaotic lands along the Frontier, facing dangers both human and supernatural with ancient wisdom and a six-gun —but that was a long time ago. Destroyed by conspiracy and betrayal, all that remains of that secretive order is one nameless man on a trek though the West seeking revenge on the woman he blames for the Marshals' fall and his disgrace. When a visitor from our world joins him on his journey, they together must confront the horrors of a strange land, the mysteries of the past and the real meaning of their quest for justice. The world of Tellus is what 19th Century Earth would have looked like if the stories of Poe, Ambrose Bierce, Lovecraft and William Hope Hodgeson were real. History in this world moves slower. The old faiths persist and civilization never conquered the dark corners of the map, at least not without being inextricably changed. Technology and culture takes a little longer to evolve in this land, as people here tend to spend more time pursuing their elaborate revenge plots or trying to avoid being the next sacrifice to the Outer Gods rather than advancing science or statecraft. Imagine Cormac McCarthy by way of Edgar Rice Burroughs, though a little less testosterone-drenched than that description would imply. Three caveats: First, there are deep mysteries here, including how such a world came to be and who controls it. Second, this world is not wholly unconnected from our own. There is a historical point of divergence, but in the distant past. To paraphrase Twain: history in this world is not a repeat of our own, but it does often rhyme. And finally, this is not a setting that lends itself to happy endings.
