Arcadian Castle – The Solari Empire – The Land Of Mediterra

Hemera was standing on the castle walls watching the enemy armies setting up their siege camps.

All over Mediterra the Solarians and Lunarians were winning battles but all of a sudden they were attacked from the east by an army of pirates and bandits.

The emperors dispatched any spare soldiers to the east to put a stop to it. But this left the western border weak.

That’s when the Delphosian Republic and their allies attacked. They laid siege to castles along the Hyacinth River.

The Solarians tried to launch an attack to disrupt the enemy, but they were repulsed while losing hundreds of soldiers.

Talila was useful as she fired her mana arrows into the crowd of soldiers causing explosions all over the place.

But the Delphosian, Aeternumians, and Achaeanians returned the attacks with ones of their own that hit the already damaged walls.

They fired their siege engines that sent mana blasts crashing into the castle’s protective shield.

The commander who was in charge of the Arcadian castle was Hemera’s cousin Kostas Solari rushed up to her to report the situation.

”Princess. The Delphosians are getting ready for an attack. While the Aeternumians and Achaeanians are attacking on two other sides.”

Kostas looked over the landscape and sighed to himself as he continued. ”I was hoping you could ask Princess Talila to head to the Eastern Wall and take out the siege towers.”

Hemera looked up at her cousin who she wasn’t really close with but answered. ”Yes, I’ll ask her right away.”

She rushed off to find the elf adventurer and found her bombarding the Delphosian soldiers who tried to bring ladders to the wall.

Upon spotting her, Talila’s face lit up with a warm smile before she spoke, “Aunty, is something wrong?”

Hemera smiled and answered. ”Kostas asked if you could go to the Eastern Wall to deal with the towers that are approaching.”

Talila nodded her head before running across the wall but it was too crowded so she jumped up on the side and ran along that.

Her actions shocked everyone around as she reached the Eastern Wall and started firing her mana arrows at the enemy.

Talila’s keen eyes scanned the horizon, and with a deep breath, she focused her energy on her bow.

Enemy siege towers loomed on the horizon, threatening to breach the city’s defenses. .𝒎

With a steady hand and unwavering concentration, Talila drew her mana-infused arrow and nocked it onto her bowstring.

The elf whispered an incantation. As she released the arrow, it streaked across the sky, leaving a shimmering trail of mana in its wake.

It struck one of the advancing siege towers with pinpoint accuracy, and a brilliant explosion erupted, showering the enemy with fiery debris.

Talila’s eyes never wavered from her targets. With each shot, she unleashed the destructive force of her mana-infused arrows.

Her attacks were causing explosions that sent enemy soldiers scrambling for cover.

The siege towers, once a formidable threat, crumbled before her relentless onslaught. When the Solarians saw this they were amazed at the girl’s power.

Talila’s mana-infused arrows proved to be a devastating asset, turning the tide of the battle in favor of their besieged city.

She continued to rain down destruction upon the enemy siege towers until they lay in ruins, their threat neutralized.

Hemera rushed up to her again and spoke. ”We need help at the western wall they are about to climb up.

Talila nodded as she followed the Sun Elf along the wall but once they got closer a mighty explosion erupted from the wall they were running to.

Thrown from the towering wall, the two women plummeted to the courtyard below, their bodies colliding with the ground.

They lay there for a moment, disoriented by the impact before their senses gradually returned, and they realized the dangerous situation.

Their surroundings came into focus, and they spotted enemy soldiers fighting on the ramparts above.

The Solarians, outnumbered and outmatched, found themselves in a dire predicament as they were cut down without mercy.

Overwhelmed and unable to resist, the Solarians were quickly subdued and captured.

Meanwhile, the vanguard took custody of Hemera and Talila, who had been instrumental in the city’s defense.

In response to the unfolding chaos, the Delphosians issued orders to the Aeternumians, instructing them to locate and capture any members of the eastern empires’ royal families.

What they didn’t know is that shortly after that the devil alongside his army would descend onto Mediterra and forever change it.

Sia Silverthrone – Sentinel Reach Castle – The Summerfield Duchy

When Sia heard that the Emperor’s Vanguard Legion had arrived in the south and had already beaten two Duskmire armies and were making their way toward them.

As the news spread the soldier’s morale skyrocketed and they waited for him to arrive. Sia was standing on the wall when she saw a dust cloud in the distance.

It was heading in their direction and she guessed it was her Father. They all waited until they saw banners with a white wolf’s head on them.

Sia turned to Valeria with a smile as she spoke. ”We can finally get the upper hand in this war without getting beat all the time.”

But she spoke too soon as another dust cloud could be seen in the opposite direction but this one was much bigger.

That’s when her Father’s army picked up the pace and made it to the castle. As they entered the Duskmire, Silverpeak, Everfallen, and Shadowfen Kingdoms armies all converged on them.

They quickly set up a siege camp and blockaded the city. When Albert got off his horse he saw Sia walking up to him looking worn out.

Albert smiled as he hugged her and spoke in a teasing voice. ”Little Sia. You’re going to be a married woman soon you got to look after yourself or a certain dragon will burn down the continent.”

She laughed as she hugged him back before explaining the situation. ”Well, now we have four armies breathing down our necks so let’s prepare the defenses.”

He nodded his head and ordered his army to rest before joining the defenders on the wall.

For days on end, the Avalonians and Moonhaven armies had stood united, defending Sentinels Reach against the relentless assaults of the four enemy armies.

The air was thick with tension as the clash of steel, the roar of war cries, and the boom of mana cannons filled every moment.

From the besieging armies of Duskmire, Silverpeak, Everfallen, and Shadowfen, waves of soldiers launched their assaults, each resolved to breach the castle’s formidable defenses.

The soldiers on the walls fought back with powerful mana cannons, shooting beams of mana at the enemy, which briefly slowed down their advance.

The nights were ablaze with the eerie glow of the ongoing battle, as the cannons illuminated the darkness and sent enemy soldiers scattering.

The defenders of Sentinel Reach held strong, their determination unwavering in the face of overwhelming odds.

Yet, despite their valor, the enemy forces eventually managed to breach the castle’s outer defenses.

The battle that followed was a brutal and grueling affair, as the enemy soldiers fought fiercely for control of Sentinel Reach. .

In the cramped courtyards and narrow corridors, every inch of ground was contested.

The clash of blades, the roar of war chants, and the spatter of blood painted a harrowing picture of the struggle for dominance.

The defenders, now fighting a desperate last stand within the castle walls, refused to yield.

Days turned into nights, and nights into days, as the battle raged on. The once-mighty castle became a battleground soaked in the blood of both friend and foe.

The defenders of Sentinel Reach, though outnumbered and exhausted, held their ground with unwavering resolve, fighting not just for a fortress but for their way of life.

But as the relentless enemy onslaught continued, it became clear that the fate of Sentinel Reach hung in the balance.

The defenders could only hope that their resilience would endure and that reinforcements or a miracle would arrive to turn the tide in their favor.

In the final courtyard, surrounded by the chaos of battle, Sia and Albert stood side by side, their weapons at the ready.

The clash of swords and the cries of combat echoed around them as they defended their last stronghold with unwavering determination.

The fight was brutal, with enemy soldiers pressing in from all sides. Sia and Albert fought valiantly, their skill and resolve shining through in every strike and parry.

But as time wore on, the relentless assault took its toll.

Amidst the chaos, Sia found herself overwhelmed for a brief moment, and before she could react, she was captured by enemy soldiers.

Albert, fighting fiercely to protect her, suffered a similar fate, his efforts to free Sia in vain.

With their hands bound and their weapons confiscated, they were hauled off to the dungeons, the heavy iron doors closing behind them.

In the dimly lit, cold cell, they shared a knowing look, their spirits unbroken. Battered and bruised Albert sat up and looked at a sulking Sia. ”When is that boy going to return?”

When Sia heard that she smiled as the two of them spoke about everything and used this opportunity to catch up.
