《My Inner Demons》Strange Human (Ch3)
Advertisement
We head over to the human and she's talking to herself. Strange, but I do it too. Just not usually in public.
"Descend at once," Asch demands, I roll my eyes. He doesn't have rule over humans, why does he bother trying to command them? Idiot.
"Huh?" The female asks, confused. Maybe she can't understand us?
"De-scend-da," Asch says slowly like that's gonna help.
"You can drop the medieval roleplay, I'm not in any way happy to participate. As you can tell!" She says. denying Asch's request and I laugh.
"Ha, you got denied Asch, funny that. Humans don't obey you." I smirk and he puts his sword to my throat.
"Say another word y/n. I dare you." He growls, being used to this treatment I roll my eyes at him and gently push his sword off my throat.
Calmly and confidently, I walk over to the female, "Hi. I'm y/n, the best female warrior in Daemos. Standing in front of you is the extremely stubborn Prince Asch. Along with his other knights. Who might you be?" I ask trying to be polite. If she's anything like the other female humans she could be powerful.
"Wow, you guys are really into this roleplaying thing huh? Okay fine I'll play along." I look at her confused and she starts to speak in a fake distressed voice. " Oh, cruel fate! How could a poor maiden like me get stuck in a tree? Oh, I remember! Because your stupid muscle-bound friend put me here!"
Annoyed with her antics I go to get her down but Asch sets the tree on fire causing her to fall off. Eh, I guess that works too. "You done poor maiden? You're getting quite annoying," I state and she looks at Asch and me wide-eyed, I turn back to the others to see Asch getting yelled at by Rhys, fair enough. Asch shouldn't have used magic.

"Prince Asch! Don't use your magic for such matters!" Rhys yells at Asch and he just rolls his eyes. Suddenly I feel someone grabs my horns and pulls on them and have no idea what to do, I was not expecting, for all the things the human could have done, was not expect her to grab my horns.
Everyone gasps and I try to get out of the humans grasp. "What the feck do you think you're doing?!" I squeak, my cheeks bright red. Did she really just- Why would she do that?! I manage to get out of her grip and fall in the process, "Ow." I state annoyed, rubbing my arm as I fell onto them first, causing them to catch my weight.
"They're real... Heh." She says in shock before fainting and I pick myself up from the floor, dusting myself off. "You killed her," Noi says and I look at him then back at the female.
"No, I didn't," I state, my voice still high pitched and very uncomfortable. Rhys walks over to her and checks to see if she's alive, "The humans alive. Just unconscious." He agrees, "We should take her and find a base of operations."
I look down to see a creature by Asch's feet, "Prince Asch. I believe that's a spirit by your feet." I say regaining my posture and it starts to walk away, "Follow it!" I yell following the spirit. The others come too and Pierce picks up the human, taking her with. She's a strange one.
The spirit takes us up some stairs in a building. We come to a door and I try to open it. But it won't open. "What now-" Before I can finish my sentence Asch melts the door handle and walks in. "That works I guess," I say walking inside. The others close behind.

Noi beings looking at everything in awe. Honestly, if it weren't for me he'd probably be dead with his naivety. But that's what I love about my baby brother I guess. He's too innocent for his own good.
Pierce places the human down on the couch and I kneel next to her, examining her. She's not that different from the females in Daemos. Her clothing is just a little more revealing I guess.
I move hair out of her face and study her relaxed facial expression. I can't seem to read her like I can Daemos. Daemos are easy to read but humans seem to be more complex.
"Y/n, stop staring at the human," Asch complains and I groan standing up to face him. "I'm trying to read her, humans are unfortunately a lot more complex than Daemos and I can't get a good reading," I complain flopping down on the couch next to her.
"This. Is. So. Comfortable!" I say snuggling into the couch more. "Really?!" Noi exclaims as he flops onto the couch too, but because I'm spread across it he jumps onto me.
"Noi! Get off!" yell pushing him off me and he lands on the floor roughly, "Ow..." He whines looking over at the spirit in awe as it walks over to him.
"I think this spirit likes me." He says touching its nose. This only annoyed the spirit though...
Noi screams as the spirit chases him, "It's not friendly! Help!" He screams, reluctantly I go to help him chasing after him. "Noi! Your moron you angered it! It better not kill you or I'm gonna be so mad at you!" I yell.
The other four accept that Noi has been chosen to die and are no help, "Noi! Die in silence! You'll alert the nearby humans!" Rhys complains and I try to help Noi.
The spirit is definitely harmless though as it doesn't hurt Noi at all. I can't help but laugh at Noi's panic. "Noi it's harmless stop screaming!" I state tackling him to the ground and putting my hand over his mouth. To my disgust he licks it and I instantly remove my hand.
"Ew! Noi!" I complain getting up rubbing my hand on my clothes as the cat sits on Noi. "Ahh! Y/n! I'm sorry! Help!" Noi exclaims and I laugh hysterically.
"Noi calm down it's just sleeping!" I say through my laughter he sighs in relief. "Just don't annoy it again and it won't kill you," I explain and he nods slowly.
This place is weird. I wonder if the human is awake yet.

Lineage Saga (Kingdom Building Fantasy)
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] The continent of Erdenia is in flux, nations large and small move to swallow their neighbors. Roving bands of marauders pillage the countryside, and the seas are choked with piracy. Against this backdrop upon the central island of Syroneika exists the Mercan League, an alliance of city states ruled by the Archon from his seat in the Capital, Merlabria. Yet all is not well beneath the surface. The Archon’s health is waning, while the House of Mercan appears on the verge of conflict. Both princes vie for the Archonship, with the aristocracy close behind looking to settle old scores. In the immediate west the Althai Federation is in a state of civil war, the conflict spilling over the border into the League, while nobles’ squabble over petty slights. In this time of growing conflict, the Archon has summoned the warlord of the southern frontier, bulwark against the horrors of the dark forest, and former Grand Scholar of the court. Behind the scenes pieces are in play, and the Scholar possesses numerous enemies, many still envious of his meteoric rise to power. A simple trip to the capital may be more than it appears. However, the branches of fate are fickle things, a single encounter could change the course of history. Or perhaps that is simply the will of fate, and nothing has changed at all, who could know? Could the meeting between a simple slave and a warlord truly be fate’s bough? And if so, where could that lead?

On the Road to Elspar (Book 1)
The year is 1329. The Huntress' War has entered its tenth year, inflaming competing nationalisms and pitting the Confederacy of Caldrein against one of the continent's superpowers, the Tenereian Union. Desperately outnumbered, the Confederacy has relied on the prowess of its famed Caldran mercenaries, with highly-trained and experienced warbands returning from foreign conflicts to the defense of their homeland, and it is on their backs that Caldrein has successfully mounted a valiant defense for a decade. But they are losing, and day by day, with all the grace of a sledgehammer, the vast Tenereian armies take one more bit of Caldran territory, one footstep at a time. Sixteen-year-old Neianne from the village of Caelon has submitted herself to Faulkren Academy, one of the centuries-old institutions established to train the next generation of Caldrein's elite soldiers of fortune, to learn the ways of wars for three years before embarking upon the defense of her country. Her dryad family once hailed from reclusive woodland communes isolated from Caldrein's complicated mainstream society, and her upbringing leaves the shy village girl unprepared to suddenly train alongside other apprentices from backgrounds as low as the dirty slums of Caldrein's cities and as high as the halls of aristocratic power. Yet the war is eroding the norms and traditions that the Caldran people have long considered part of their national mythos, and the tensions within the confederacy that have long simmered under the surface - race, class, community, identity - are slowly but surely dividing its people, and Neianne must grow and discover who she really is, even as the war that she is steadfastly training for comes to its inexorable end... On the Road to Elspar is a fantasy quest - a work of interactive fiction wherein readers get to vote on what happens next at critical junctures - that is the first entry in a story that follows Neianne of Caelon, which first began on July 20, 2016. Originally a three-part in medias res prologue to a larger story titled On the Elsparian Road, it was eventually decided that this section - which covers Neianne's three years at Faulkren Academy - become its own independent story due to length, structural, and accessibility reasons. Despite this being a reader interactive work of fiction, due to logistical and verification concerns, voting will only be counted on its thread on the forum Sufficient Velocity, where this story originally began. As such, the content here on Royal Road serves as a story-only archive. You are, of course, entirely welcome to enjoy On the Road to Elspar as a conventional work of fiction, just as you are welcome to comment, discuss, and provide critique. But if you would like to participate in the voting, then I would be honored to welcome you on Sufficient Velocity. To facilitate accessibility and to ensure the best reading experience, this story-only version of On the Road to Elspar will be updated at a periodic pace, even though further content exists, so as to not overwhelm new readers on Royal Road. If you enjoy this story, wish to binge it, and/or want to participate in voting immediately, you may of course read all additional content via the link provided above. This paragraph will be removed once the content on Royal Road catches up with what has already been posted in its original thread. Cover artwork by DreamSyndd.
