Eyes of the Emperor

A half-moon shone brightly in the midnight sky filled with stars that dotted across the darkness to no end. Silence loomed in the forests located deep within a secluded mountain, it was a silence that was almost eerie and unnatural.  There was a reason for this silence, a reason seeped in blood and terror.    In one particular clearing, with four pillars surrounding a tall marble platform that had once been the resting place of the ruler of these woods now stood a bloodied, mangled corpse. Blood dripped from it on all sides as the marble was dyed in a crimson red.  The body was so disfigured that you could no longer tell what species the creature once belonged to...  On top of the corpse stood the silhouette of what seemed to be a man, however this man was far from what you would call human...   It was a Monster.   Left arm was missing, its right

The wind blew softly within the forest clearing and its rather bloody scene, two silhouettes still stood tall while conversing. “Show you what being human means?” Elyenora asked, looking up at the eyes of the tall man. She was easily dwarfed by Mon’Ter who had an entire foot over her. “Yes...” Mon’Ter spoke quietly, hoping to have his request accepted. Elyenora beamed a smile, and said. “Of course!” The answer had given Mon’Ter a rather pleasant feeling he had not felt before, bringing out yet another smile onto his face. However, a face of concern suddenly appeared on Elyenora’s visage. “But, does that mean you intend to follow me...?” She asked. “Yes.” Mon’Ter replied, “Me must know.” “Mmm...”, she contemplated, “Then you must know of my situation first. Else it would not b

The middle-aged man counted down, signaling the beginning of the match. However, both Elyenora and the Orc slave had their hands simply stand still there on the table, waiting for the other to start pushing down first. “Come on, female. I ain’t got all day, so give us an amusing attempt before I shut you down.” The orc spoke with a gruff arrogant voice. Still smiling confidently, Elyenora shrugged and replied, "Don't cry later on."  Soon, she used her strength to push the orc's arm slowly to the other side. When Elyenora had pushed him slightly, the orc was still feeling smug on the inside and had wanted to overwhelm her right at the end.  But after each passing second, the orc noticed something strange. His opponent's grip and power were beyond what he had imagined, making the situation out of his control.  He started to seriously push back on Elyenora’s hand, trying

Far away from the trading town of Cloran, was the capital city of Benulis, the city of Banul.  This city is one that could be called both gorgeous and humongous if it were compared with any of the other nearby cities.  Banul was divided into three circles. The inner circle that is filled with nobles from various households as well as where the royal family’s castle stood within the center of the city.  A river ran through the entire city, flowing from the western side where a big mountain range stood. The water circled around the castle, giving it a rather pleasing look.The streets of this part of town were paved with marbles and decorated with expensive vases and flowers, the buildings were clean and made with many artistic addons that gave a pleasant sense of relaxation to the residents.  There was also the middle circle that was dominated by the market and merchants, it was where mo

As the horde of monsters with shining green eyes approached, the carriage horses began to get restless, trying to set themselves free and run. The carriage owner did his best to calm them down and get them to pull the carriages to another direction for them all to escape, but the animals were too afraid to listen or make any sound decisions. “Damn it! Damn it!” The owner bellowed as he tried to rein them in to no avail. The people had given up on the horses and were about to start running on foot, when Elyenora stood up and shouted with a powerful voice. “Everyone! Calm down and take your seats!” She spoke, taking her hood off. “Don't fear, because we will take care of these creatures! So suck it up and wait patiently over there!” She bellowed, brandishing her sword.  The Silent Wind Rapier.  An exquisite sword that even the common eye could tell it would be wo
