Silver Spear cut cleanly through the clouds in its path as it led the Tribal arks onward.
A month had passed since Leon received the tau’s request to pause his expedition, and he’d acquiesced to the request. The tau returned a couple times during the month to touch base with Le...

Leon glanced around at his advisors. It was a fairly limited meeting, all things considered, featuring just his retainers, family, and some of his most powerful Tribal allies and army officers.
Judging by the expressions that everyone was mak...
2023-09-20 15:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostLeon stared at the Sunlit officer who’d come to Argos in shocked disbelief. “Peace?” he said. “You want to discuss peace?”
With a nod, the Sunlit visitor said, “Yes, such is the order I was given. I am to discuss peace.”
Something in the man’s tone stuck out to Leon, s...
2023-09-18 15:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostYeah, as I said I'd do 2 weeks ago, the revisions (Chapters 56 - 137) are now out of their 'beta' period on my website, and have now fully replaced the old chapters on my website and 2023-09-16 20:11:18 +0000 UTC View Post
The Imperial Palace in Thunderhaven was once a place of light and music, the glittering crown of the Sunlit Empire. Its enchantments ensured that it seemed perpetually bathed in sunlight, and its extensive gardens evoked a certain cultivated utopia that had even in millennia past won the admirati...

“And what were those lessons?...
2023-09-13 15:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostIn the months since Leon’s ascension as King, the barracks and other associated facilities assigned to the central army had been vastly expanded. Arkpads and mustering grounds large enough for tens of thousands to assemble upon had already been present, but the army needed more with the surge i...
2023-09-11 15:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostHundreds of thousands of prisoners of war were taken during the campaign on the Sword, but only some of them were taken back to Kataigida. Most of them were left in various places around the Sword, but Leon ensured that the officers were brought back across the Veins of Vigilance. He had some pla...
2023-09-08 15:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostLeon watched with gleeful, if quiet, fascination as six arks lifted off from the Ravens’ arkyards. These six arks were the largest and finest vessels the Ravens had ever produced, the thunder wood that Leon had given them allowing the Tribe to increase the arks’ size and armor significantly. ...

Leon hovered in the middle of a great storm raging off the coast of Stormhollow, and he felt alive. The energy of the storm w...
2023-08-30 15:00:06 +0000 UTC View Post“Be careful,” Nestor warned as Leon lowered the thin needle he held down toward the target of his latest experiment.
Leon rolled his eyes and kept going. He knew how this might affect him, having already lived through it once before; he didn’t need any reminders to be careful. Instead...
2023-08-28 15:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostLeon entered his soul realm like a conquering hero, his mood soaring higher than the Thunderbird herself.
Tenth-tier. He stood on the threshold of virtual divinity; how could he not feel the excitement?
When he entered, a smile splitting his face in half, the Thunderbird was ...
2023-08-25 15:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostSunlit sighed in contentment, his day finally over. His palace was dead quiet, the events of the day having quieted all but the softest of murmurs. As he finally got off his feet, his hard work done and satisfied that he now had fewer enemies at home that he had to deal with, a young maid he hadn...

2023-08-21 15:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostLeon returned to Kataigida in triumph. It had been a few weeks since the Sunlit Emperor abandoned the Sword, and in that time, Leon had done his best to consolidate his Kingdom’s hold over the island.
He supervised the construction of new fortifications to protect the island in case the I...
2023-08-18 15:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostAs Leon entered his soul realm, he found it calm, peaceful, and quiet. This was hardly out of the norm, but with both Xaphan and the Thunderbird present, and the former not in a healing trance, Leon did find it rather odd. In fact, they were both not fighting but instead were pouring over the sta...
2023-08-16 15:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostWhen Leon returned to the infirmary, he was met by the lead healer on the team that had been working on Iron-Striker, a seventh-tier Eagle.
“How is he?” Leon asked, wasting no time at all as he strode back to the private room where Iron-Striker had been convalescing.

Warmth.
Comfort.

When he could finally deny reality no longer and accepted that he was, in fact,...
2023-08-11 15:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostSunlit bobbed and weaved, frustrating Leon to no end. Through countless clouds they flew through, rising higher and higher and moving further and further away from the battle that raged so far below them, now. Leon charged after Sunlit, flapping his wings while lightning streamed off his feathers...
2023-08-09 15:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostIt didn’t take Leon much to get together a force to respond to Sunlit’s attack that left thousands of Bear Tribesmen dead, including their most prominent ninth-tier mage, the Beast Lord. To cap it off, Leon had it announced that Iron-Striker’s severed hands were found there as a provocation...

His forces were pulling back into a more defensive stance as they prepared for the incoming Sky Devil relief force so that they could protect their most important assets.

2023-07-24 15:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostFor the briefest of moments, Leon wondered at the value of trying to keep quiet.
