Golden sunset rays punctured the towers of the soaring Palace. The breeze of the concluding afternoon gently blew past Ares and Eurydice as they meandered in the empty streets. Everyone was busy cleaning up the stadium, therefore, not a single maid could be seen running around errands. Only a few guards were stationed in the key points of the Palace for security.
Ares followed the Queen from behind, gazing at her airy, bouncing azure locks. He noticed something sticking out of her head and decided to break the silence. "I didn't notice you had a horn."
Eurydice turned around. The moment her sharp eyelashes fluttered and her crimson irises fixated on him- made his chest skip a beat. Eurydice brings her finger near to her head and slowly hides her horns with her hair.
"I thought I had hidden it all too wel
"She told me something unusual."Kagome and Daelan stopped munching their bread upon seeing the worry on the male's face. Since the First Game, the three have been inseparable, always looking out for each other's well-being and couldn't care less about others. However, just as their friendship had bloomed, Ares had been showing signs of uneasiness, which the two couldn't seem to ignore.Ares refused to tell them about it the past couple of weeks during their stay in the Palace, so you could imagine how shocked they were when Ares opened up."The Queen told you something unusual?" Daelan asked again while putting his bread back on his plate."What? She rejected you or something?" Kagome raised an eyebrow."No
The Enchanted Forest, a specific chain of mountains that surround the terrain of Fontana, protecting it from hurricanes and making it harder for enemies to attack the kingdom. The Enchanted Forest is a haven for mysterious beings that reside in Fontana and beasts that no one would dare challenge. These said beasts are the very reason why most enemies do not engage in fights or infiltrate Fontana.Legends tell that once you get lost in the Enchanted Forest, you'll never leave without a story. You'll be sure to meet faes, dwarves, and tree nymphs along the way. Many treasures lie in the deep jungle areas of the Enchanted Forest. There rest thousands of invaluable trinkets that offer great power to those who wield them and faunas that may be used as herbs that could heal any sort of injury.This part of Fontana is in the care of the Queen's childhood friend,
The Queen's whining brought different creatures to peek. As she continued hitting Ares with her small fists in the back, the male ventured deeper into the jungle where he would see a smoke rising above. Ares paced his eyes around and found the dwellers of the Enchanted Forest peeking from behind the tree trunks or bushes, just looking.Faeries giggled as they concealed themselves behind leaves. Eurydice narrowed her crimson eyes to them and they immediately stopped laughing. They knew who Eurydice was but they didn't recognize her as Queen. The Faeries have their own leader, and they belong to the Fae's court. Therefore, Eurydice had no control over them.However, despite their lack of social relationship, the faeries still fear the Queen of Fontana, for she was a wyvern. A creature so powerful it deserved to be feared. The treehouse was the largest tree in the Enchanted Forest. It was the possession of the Faerie King before he handed it over to the Moon Witch for purification after he found discrepancies in the tree's purity. The Faerie King told her to keep it as her reward and she has since lived in the tree and cultivated it to be her very own safe spot.The young prince was with Ares on a small river while Siv treated the poison on Eurydice's wound. The Queen did not feel any of it which made her condition even worse than it is. How would she know there was poison if no one told her?"You look horrible. Have you not slept?" Eurydice saw the dark circles appearing in the Witch's eyes."I was worried that you took the other entrance," the Witch told her. "I was wondering what took you so long. Turns out you were jusDraconic Ascendance: The King Selection Historia of Von Kranels
"Hey, have you heard about the King Selection?" So early in the morning, in the crack of dawn- blasted rumors in the village of the commoners. As the merchants and farmers prepared their stalls for their businesses, they could not help but listen to the news widespread from the City of Nobles. Passing from ear to ear, they spoke of the Selection they all feared. "The Queen is mad! If we don't remind her of this lunacy, Fontana will be sure to end up in scraps!" "Watch your mouth!" another said, her eyes dilating. "The Queen's soldiers are around. You do not want to be dragged and beheaded, do you not?" "What's this about the King Selection?" a young, roguish lad asked them as he drops the pile of sacks he had carried from the farm. "Ah, child," the woman beckoned the male and sighed deeply in regret. "The King Selection will be held tomorrow in the Queen's courtyards. We do not recommend to enlist. You are sure not to come out alive. Why do you think is this country's population
"The thief had escaped!" Soldiers were mobilized upon their General's cry after his body was mercilessly slashed into ribbons by a notorious criminal. Thick, fresh blood leaked before his meaty and worn skin whilst his vision continued to fade. The soldiers quickly came to his aid whilst the other soldiers panicked to search for the escapee. "Find him! Don't let him reach the Gates! If the Queen learns about this, she will have our heads!" Panic rose in the dispatched soldiers' chests as the General mentioned their Queen. One would never dream of witnessing the Queen's wretched wrath. Her schemes of punishments and never-ending quench of lunacy could not be compared to other Kings. Everything she says is absolute, and if she is to command them to take their own lives, they will not be able to turn away from her command. For the Queen is cursed with the Wyvern's Cry. Her power is unfathomable, and Her High Radiance, Maximillia Eurydice was feared by other nations. She has conquere
"The commoner has arrived, My Queen," Icarai whispered at her while she was taking bites of her scrumptious breakfast, which consisted of a hearty set of sweetened glazed meat and a healthy turkey soup. "Tell him to come join me," Queen Eurydice said while wiping the stain from her lips. "Has he eaten already?" "I don't suggest inviting him to the dining room," Icarai told her. "He is quite untidy and reeks of sweat and soil. His clothes are also filled with blood." Queen Eurydice played with her fork and jabbed a piece of meat left over from her plate. "I've seen limbs raining in war, Icarai. Why do you think such would disgust me?" "I'll call him over then." The Queen's loyal dogman went back to the courtroom and escorted the seeingly clueless Ares inside. The queen was eating and therefore, did not bother raising her head to look at the commoner. Though Ares intrigues her, the Queen does not care about his appearance and rather, regards him as somewhat 'average' even if she di
Trumpets blared in the air and the cheering of the noble women filled the stadium as the participants of the King Selection entered the ring. On the bleachers, watched some of the villagers and the married couples who wished to witness the becoming of the King of Fontana. Some families of the royal blood, came too, to witness the grand event. The queen's knights entered the stadium, all who wished to marry the radiant and intelligent, Queen Eurydice. They have been training their entire lives to dedicate themselves to fighting alongside the Queen. Every knight of Fontana wishes to stride along the battlefield with the Queen, who was known to never miss a war.
