Chapter 43 Rising arc VI

Pdf and Epub versions below.

Vistus Decimus Olomnus, a name that had gotten him mocked in childhood and nearly revered since becoming Archmage, watched the growing number of sick and dying with a resigned air.

He had long, long ago gotten used to death, but unnecessary suffering had never quite sat right with him. And here, in these hundreds of medical tents, there was suffering. A great deal of it.

Poison and dysentery, near-fatal wounds and delirious minds. Nearly eighteen...

Helios nodded to his Knights as they departed, bowing towards the Queen. Elly nodded in return, eyes glancing at the men and women he’d just dismissed, and Helios suppressed a grimace.

He hoped the Queen wasn’t setting her sights on the Knights. She could forge them into a terrifying order, no doubt, but...

Marcus watched Vess shift on her seat, glancing at Elly, and realized that those two actually liked each other. Not overly, but neither did they hate one another nearly as much as they pretended. Not an issue he was going to involve himself in, certainly.

“This is the great plan?” Elly asked, eyebrow rai...

Marcus grunted, suppressing a hiss of pain. “Remind me why this will help me focus?”

“It will ground your mind in the present,” Elly replied, dancing away as he struck. Her wooden sword impacted his hand, fingers tightening instead of letting go. “Good, good. You’re building proper fighting ...

Hargraf kept his face perfectly smooth as commander Mirre recounted her events of the battle, resisting the urge to grimace when the Queen leaned forward in interest. The King’s bride could not be called subtle, but if this war had proven one thing, it was that she had an eye for battle.

“Hold him still,” Marcus barked, straining to keep the fourth tier healing matrix stable. A pair of soldiers shifted their grip, pinning the injured man to the table. “You have his leg?”

“Here, your Grace.”

Marcus took it without looking, holding it to the stump. He paused, setting it down with a sigh. “That isn’t his leg, it's a leg. They have different kinds of tans. This is only just about possible without his body rej...

Xathar let out a joyous laugh as they raced past friendly lines, Marcus not sharing in his mount's good mood. A shield flickered and died, the stone being thrown at a company of his men rolling over them instead of being deflected.

Marcus looked away, knowing there was nothing he could do. Stone wasn’t mag...

Marcus kept his tone level, but even so he saw Elly tense as he spoke. It didn’t stop him from continuing, didn’t stop him from voicing his opinion, but he supposed it was good to know she wasn’t wholly comfortable with this either.

“I fail to see how this will boost morale.”

She flickered ...

Marcus dismissed the summon, nodding to himself for a reason he forgot the moment he’d done it. Just a nod, the action feeling concrete where the future was vague.

The shapeshifter bowed, one of the more polite demons he’d encountered, and stepped backwards through its portal. A bit stylish, but Marcus...

“Monsters, knights and demons,” Elly sang, skipping over the small hill. Well, someone else might call it stalking, and her tone was more a mutter than a song, but she was feeling whimsical. “Bandits, soldiers and pirates. My blade craves variety after so long at sea, and nothing in the world will deprive me of your misery.”

Thank the Gods she was going unheard. Her army was preparing for battle, the Imperial half legion they were chas...

This, she would admit, was one of the creepier things she’d done. Looming over someone’s bed, staring at them, hoping not to get caught by either himself or others.

Mages had tested her for a whole host of things before she was even allowed to enter, for demonic influence to regular identity verificat...

Marcus kept trying to slowly regain his breath as Elly took command over the nearby troops, ordering a full search of the surrounding hills and a lockdown of the camp. He could hear hundreds of feet march off to obey, more Life Enhanced soldiers arriving. He h...

Marcus took a deep breath, arms like lead and legs like jelly. At least his Royal Guards wouldn't care, which meant he could pant as he wished, but holy Hells he was sore.

He should have known that Elly’s insistence on taking over his martial training was a trap. A vicious, elegant and ruthless trap that d...

Marcus didn’t look up as the tent flap was pushed aside, the sounds of their war camp filtering in. Whoever had entered stepped inside fully, the cloth falling back down and reactivating the minor runic seals painted on them.

Near absolute silence returned for almost two whole seconds, the rushling of cl...

Why is he smiling?

“Why are you smiling?” Elly asked, more curious than upset. Her husband didn’t reply immediately, still pacing. “Better question. How likely are we to win?”

“So run me through this one more time,” Carl said, pulling deep from his drink. His tone was incredulous, Marcus taking a more restrained sip from his own drink. “You fought her in a war game, magic against Life Enhancement, and you won? We are talking about the same Elenoir, right?”

“Hello, father.”

The King’s eyes focused, his voice low and weak. “Hello, son.”

“You’re dying, then,” Marcus said, feeling more bad about how little he felt than that his father was dying. �...
