《VIKING PRINCESS》Chapter Seventeen

She was sat on the stairs of the room they had King Ecbert caged in. She was next to Ubbe which wasn't far from the hung cage. "We have to decide what to do with King Ecbert!" "I don't understand. What is there to discuss? We blood eagle him. Ecbert is as guilty as Aelle, so we should do the same thing to him."
She heard Ivar say as she looked up and rolled her eyes. "I've told you this many times. I was here! I saw Ecbert hand father over to King Aelle." Ivar said as Bjorn began to noticeably get annoyed.
She put a hand on Hvitserk arm as Bjorn said "we all understand those feelings, Ivar. No one is denying, what you are saying. But sometimes, sometimes. We have to consider things beyond our feelings." "Thank you, Bjorn."
She agreed with what her brother was saying. "And think what is best for our people!" "I know what our people want, Bjorn. And they want what I want." "Are you even hearing yourself, Ivar!" She said to him as he looked at her.
"I know what they want, Sister. Nothing will change my mind." "We have to consider our position of strength. And use that to our ultimate advantage!" Bjorn Said to him again but then Ivar started to laugh.
"You always like to complicate things, Bjorn. You think it makes you look clever." She had enough of Ivars attitude and got up. She moved to Sigurd and whispered to him.
"When they are done being children, come find me." She said and patted his shoulder and with that left. She found a seat and sat alone outside. She watched others talk amongst themselves.
She saw Sigurd sit next to her. "What did they say, Brother?" She asked moving to face him. He smiled and said "he said he would give us full claim of land." She took his hands in hers and looked him in the eyes.

"Do you trust King Ecbert." "As much as you do, Sister." He said then got up to follow Bjorn. All the others gathered into a room with King Ecbert. She stood between Sigurd and Hvitserk. King Ecbert and his helper were talking in their language as she stood their bored.
"Bjorn Ironside, Son of Ragnar. I, King Ecbert, give you the right to settle the Lands of East Anglia. And I pray you succeed. And now. I have a final journey to take." They all watched him leave and they all looked at the paper in awe.

The Paths of Magick
Credits: Story by Xcaliburnt. Cover Art by @Bervolart. Magick, the power to bend the laws of reality. All because of a mystical substance known as mana. Mages follow the Paths to achieve power, for there is no more addictive chase. Each Path winds and twists, forcing mages through the flames of adversity and challenge. Though the operative word is "path", the reality is far less straightforward. Instead of a road, Paths are like the branches of world trees, erupting into the heavens, intertwining, and ending in sharp snaps. Only the strongest reach the sky. There are several Paths, and many Ways to walk them—variations of the same Path, and like the stars, they are endless. Magick is the sacred flame that scours the fat, rendering the truest self. Superfluous flesh melting away to show the skeleton of one's being. A chance for ascension—apotheosis. Though not every mage works to godhood, if they survive long enough, It is inescapable. Witness the lives of those that tread the knife's edge of self-destruction. Each one intertwined in their search for answers, revenge, and, most of all: power. These individuals have all lost something precious—irreplaceable—and In search of filling the void left behind, they have taken up the mantle of a mage. Per aspera ad astra. Ad mortem vel divinitatis. (Through adversity to the stars. To death or divinity.) There is no consistent release schedule except my consistent inconsistency. Besides, there’s like a thousand pages worth of content, how can—you already read it? Goddamn. Oh, and there is a very long hiatus between volumes as I intend to edit and rewrite a lot. What to Expect: This story is progression fantasy, so expect a healthy dose of training. It's also heavy on slice of life, and it isn't entirely overarching-plot-driven. Expect characters to live their lives, and not always be on some quest to save the world. There's a lot of magic theory and discussion about it in the story. So, if you don't like impromptu lessons on sorcerous theory by traveling monster slayers, this might not be for you. But if you do like it, rejoice! For there is a lot of it. This is also heavy on prose, purple as a bruised eye. I use outdated, uneccesarily collegiate-level terms and play around with the writing style just for the heck of it. I find it fun to wax and wane poetic, and that might grate on you—I don’t plan to change this aspect of the Paths much if at all. Onto the viewer discretion is advised parts: This is grim-dark/ grim-heart. Take the tags seriously. There will be combat scenes that are brutal and horrifying. Fights to the death tend to be. This is a tale about medieval mercenaries (quite literal killers for hire), man-eating monsters, and eldritch gods beyond the material plane. Beside that, there will be traumatic events that are best left unread. I do not detail certain acts I find heinous enough, instead leaving some parts unwritten but still alludded to if not outright stated; there is simply no graphic narration thereof. This is not for the faint of heart.
