《Wolf Bloodline》Strength Is Born From Unity
Advertisement
The elite soldier was holding his own against the two of us. However, he knew that the longer the fight went on, the harder it would be for either side to gain the upper hand. So he decided to even the odds.
Being half-human and half-animal, the elite soldier also possessed the powers of the possessive lineage. He used these powers to reveal a monster to fight Prince Arthur.
The monster was huge - almost fifteen meters tall - and resembled a deer. Its black fur was marked with white patterns and it had a long tail. The seal that controlled the beast was on the elite soldier's back, making it harder to break than if it were on his arm.
At the elite soldier's command, the monster charged toward Prince Arthur on all fours. I wanted to help but the elite soldier blocked me.
"I'll be your opponent, witch," he said and attacked me with his sledgehammers.
I had to focus on fighting the elite soldier and dodged his blows with my magic while using my earth powers to fight back.
As much as I wanted to read the enemy's mind, it was difficult to do so during a fight. So I focused on my attacks. Another reason was that the enemy was strong.
Whenever my staff collided with the enemy's sledgehammer, powerful waves of energy were released. I managed to dodge backward and surrounded the enemy's right arm with magic. I pulled his arm and attacked with my earth powers.
The elite soldier kept his balance and stopped my attack with his exposed arm. Seeing an opportunity, I ran towards him and aimed for his head. I jumped and swung my staff at him.
I tried to protect myself from the blow with my magic but it was too strong and threw me into the trees behind me. The elite soldier quickly followed and aimed his sledgehammers at me from both sides. I stopped them with my magic and cast spells toward his stomach.

The elite soldier took some damage and countered with his right knee. He knew I could stop that move so he caught me off guard by aiming his elbow at my head. He followed up with another kick and knocked me back.
The distance between us had widened slightly but I was still ready to stand up and fight back as if nothing had happened.
While the elite soldier and I continued to fight non-stop, Prince Arthur was dealing with the monster. Each blow we landed was heavier than the last. The elite soldier fought back with everything he had and I refused to back down.
I used my fists and kicks along with my spells and powers when necessary. Despite his large build, the elite soldier was fast. But I was able to counter him and was determined to win.
I rose into the air with my earth powers and shot spells at the elite soldier from above. He defended himself with his sledgehammers and eventually leaped toward me. I blocked his attacks with my staff as we floated in the air.
Our breathless battle continued even after we landed on the ground. I created a small crack under the elite soldier with my earth powers and trapped him. Then I managed to land a superficial blow with my staff.
In response, the elite soldier swung his sledgehammer and collapsed to the ground beneath him, causing him to fall. He got up as if nothing had happened and approached me quickly to attack.
I gradually memorized the enemy's movements and tried to respond accordingly. The elite soldier was angrier and faster than before, so I had to be careful. One wrong move and he could seriously injure or even kill me.
Instead of attacking with his sledgehammers one at a time, he swung them both together. The force of each swing created a gust of wind and when the sledgehammers hit the ground, I could feel it shake.

As the elite soldier grew more desperate, I caught his openings and continued to attack while staying on the defensive. I used the earth beneath me to not only stop his sledgehammers with my magic but also push myself forward with its power. This caused him to drop one of his sledgehammers.
Now that he only had one sledgehammer left, the elite soldier was more vulnerable. I had to fight him before he could retrieve his other weapon. I attacked him relentlessly, using my spells and earth powers to prevent him from reaching his sledgehammer.
As I continued my relentless attacks, reciprocated in kind, I noticed the prince was trapped. For a moment, I shifted my attention from the elite soldier to the creature, firing my earth power at it with all my might. The monster was caught off guard by the unexpected blow, and taking advantage of the situation, the prince sprang into action, hurling his sword forward and delivering a crushing blow to the monster, knocking it down.
Despite this distraction, the elite soldier remained singularly focused on me, convinced that I had missed my target. He seized me by the throat, completely unaware of the developments behind him. Just as he was about to deliver the final blow, the prince made a surprise attack and plunged his sword into the elite soldier's back. Caught off guard and bewildered, the elite soldier released me and turned his back. Seizing the opportunity, I summoned enormous chunks of earth from the right and left and squeezed the elite soldier between them.
The elite soldier, trapped and defeated, fell to the ground. Although it was a hard-won victory, we managed to emerge triumphant from the battle.
I was angry with Prince Arthur for the previous incident, but I knew he meant well. The way he helped me and the look in his eyes showed that he was sorry. I would definitely talk to him after the current war was over.
But for now, we had to keep our focus on the war.

Heaven Falls
-Book One Synposis- Vorlanys. A realm created by the angels for mortals. For millennia, many angels have lived amongst the mortals, aiding the mortals in their advancement. The High Angel Forynda has only tolerated this, however. She is concerned that ultimately the flaws of both angels and mortals would combine to create a cataclysm that would shatter both Vorlanys and the angels' home realm of Ceuna. Tragedies, unforeseen by any mortal or angel, set in motion that long-feared calamity and hurtle both worlds toward an irrevocable conflagration. Neither will ever be the same. Follow the lives of multiple characters, from lowly inhabitants of minor villages to the angels of Ceuna themselves, as they experience this approaching doom. *** -Book Two Synopsis- Ceuna has divided. Angels and mortals have taken their sides in a war for the fate of Vorlanys. Forynda, the High Angel and ruler of Ceuna, intends to end the entire struggle in a swift and decisive stroke with her awesome power. Meanwhile, the dissident angels, led by Omonrel, and their mortal allies cling to a thin hope that fate will break in their favor. All hopes for a quick end to the conflict will soon be dashed, however, to the detriment of all sides. The war for Vorlanys will take on a frightening new turn while mortals and angels alike discover previously unknown truths about their reality. ~~~ Some additional comments for readers: This is a project with a very ambitious arc encompassing a huge number of characters over a long period of time. If you are looking for a tight focus on just a handful of characters, that's not this story. It is meant to provide a broad series of perspectives on an absolutely calamitous world-shaping war. Thanks for reading and be sure to leave comments, ratings, and reviews at your convenience. I love hearing from you.

Delve
Truth hides behind action. Delve. A word with many meanings. It may refer to an abyss, a dark place of no return or may also be a refuge, a haven of retreat from the harshness of the outside. None of those are right to me. For me, to delve is to seek the truth. Delving into that dark abyss and coming back with answers. To leave that safe refuge and suffer the pain of the outside just because it is real. This is the story of me delving deep into the truths of the universe. Suffering things that should not be suffered in search of things that should not be known. Once a common man, drowned in the same questions that have plagued humanity since the beginning of times, now I have found my answers. Now I have meaning. Delve, and you shall have yours as well. Jack is a regular citizen of modern society: he works on an office, uses public transport every day, receives a meager salary, and drowns his frustrations with entertainment and alcohol. Maybe, the only thing that sets him apart from many others, is his unique outlook on life. Despite feeling an unfillable void in his soul and suffering from deep depression, he still sees as his duty to be a functional, exemplary member of society. All in order to prove his life-goal point: no matter how good you are, life is still shit. This point-of-view, however, will be challenged by circumstances as a mysterious encounter with a weirdly dressed man takes him to a strange and dark cave. In this place, he will have to fight for his life against fantastical creatures from fiction, and more importantly, get face to face with his own nature. In doing so, he will uncover secrets about the cave that will change both him and all he ever thought to be true.
