Cycle 1 chapter 7: 1st War – Total Defeat (II)
How I envy my brothers, for them to be able to admire each other as a boy… I too am the same, I too am the same. Want to admire sir Lynn… but what could I do… the more our age grow, the admiration towards him become a love… I am always want to admire him in a not Love kind of admiration, but a pure admiration like a child to his grandparents..
However, Sir Lynn were not older than me… moreover, he’s even younger than me… He’s always so smart, and gentle, and so smart and more gentle and … and… and amazing! Not only did he strong, he always so.. so… soooo humble…
Never once did he brag like others noble child about what he can do, what he expert of, and what he loves… and that’s somehow too lonely for me… I want to stand beside him, and share stories with him… I want to know more about him, and I want to understand him more…
But, this time… the always calm Sir Lynn… is somehow very anxious. The first thing he did was asking for permission to meet with the king, my father… I wonder what make him so anxious…
Not long after, after Sir Lynn asking to the messenger to urgently report that to father. The messenger runs about in a hurry. At once, father grants him permission. At the same time, he asked me and my brothers to come too.
Of course me and my brothers arrived earlier, then after all of us sit. Sir Lynn allowed to come in.
“Pardon my rudeness your majesty”
My father only nod in response.
“leave the manner outside, now I shall tell first about your enga…”
“no, your majesty. I shall first tell you the situation my father’s in…”

Even though Father say leave the manner outside… He cut father’s words… how brazen…
Father didn’t say anything in response for several second.
“From the letter that came in the dove, they say the battle end fast. And there’s neither casualties’ nor retaliation against the enemies. So, what make you so anxious Lynn…”
“Yes, I believe it’s a triumph”
Say Father and Big Brother, while looking at the anxious Sir Lynn.
“it’s a trap, there’s a traitor in the army…”
Wha…
“… are you mocking the other nobles that defending the kingdom Lynn?”
“No, the enemy ran? There’s no way that’s happen… even though I’m not 100% certain but… it’s a trap… I ask for your majesty to allow me lead an army of 200 horse man or just by myself to the wall… or else father might die…”
“yourself? What can you do?”
“… in the first place what do you think I need to for asking a meeting?... it’s all for the deployment order… if I had a deployment order, then I will be able to act independently and cut those damn traitor… With the order, even if I don’t have any justification… I can act in case of the..”
Then, big brother interrupt him.
“wait wait wait, Lynn hold on for a sec here… what do you mean by trap, could you inform us more about it?”
Without any word, Sir Lynn let out a map of the wall of the kingdom, the Rieze Mountain region.
“As you see, the location of our base is in the valley between the rocky and unclimbable mountain, thus realistically talking… the unclimbable mountain isn’t unclimbable… there’s way to, but I don’t know how… then, for the truth to unveiled… do you all really believe that Xierz empire’s army will ran after conquering a fort?”

“NO! There’s no way they will! Even an idiot would not let a thing that hard to take to go away just like that! There must be some underlying trap behind this?... but what is?”
The room became silent… everyone start to roll their head, including me…
“… Baiting our nobles…”
Answer my big brother.
“Exactly… I’m afraid that this event may take all of our kingdom’s force… and kill every single household that still in the fort… and that is including the 4 Dukes…”
“But, It still a hypothesis”
“It’s a gamble, your majesty… but… if we lose, we won’t lose anything, while if we win we would be able to repel the thing…”
Hm… I didn’t really understand what is wrong with it… but... it’s sounds bad...
Thus after more and more unknown time of discussion of the probability of a traitor hiding in the fort... I’m fallen asleep...
“Hey, Lia. Wake up...”
Being awakened by my brother, I rub my eyes…
“It’s done?”
“yes… We approve him, but don’t give him any soldiers…”
“hmm… then?”
“ We forgot about your engagement talk with him…”
“Eh… me and Sir Lynn? Engagement?”
Whaaaaat?!

Flame Beneath The Snowfall
Alto is a world governed by Tones. Magic, as one might call it. Manifested through deep mental and physical conditioning, one can control the Tones in a way that is unique to them. The power to store items in gems, transfer life, affect a person's mind, and even the more primal abilities such as control of the elements. Those who have these supernatural abilities are called 'Vassals.' People that fully manifest their abilities are not as common as one might think, and not all Vassals acquire their ability through practice, given if conditions are met. In fact, those who had received much trauma manifest the Tones more frequently, albeit spontaneously. However, the rare kind of Vassals are those who manifest it from childhood. A gift, but not without its repercussions. Alto is stuck in a transitional era, where the line between modern and dated technology is blurred. One can travel to a city that has a tall skyline, bustling with people in sophisticated clothing, or a mere town governed by a lord, all the while riding on a powered vehicle. Cultures vary: Some turn to the more dated practices such as castes, others are more inclined to set equal footing on their people, led by nobility. Some are dedicated to become scholars, studying Alto's Tones, while others set foot on hunts, protecting lone towns from the creatures of some of the still-untamed lands. And the Vassals? Those willing are took under The Organization, an elusive group, its presence said to permeate all throughout Alto, taking care of Rogue Vassals that abuse their abilities and other businesses related to their side. But what is this story all about, you may ask? Well, set your sights on the upper portions of this huge landmass that is Alto. Yes, the 'whole' world is called Alto, but that is because the majority of the known people live on this large continent. Relieve yourself of the worrying tensions everywhere, and see the white snow. Trace the piercing mountaintops and focus your eyes between the valley. A town sits there. Mido. After realizing that the memories only left in his mind was the night of his town's imminent destruction in flames, a boy finds himself grasping for every fiber of his life as he lays down flat on the ground. Beneath him was soot mixed with the white snow. Fortunately, a group of investigators, who were supposed to answer their call for help, saved him from his sorry state. With a newfound second wind, but hampered by his loss of memory, he must solve his own case: Who had the audacity to set Mido, his town, aflame? Flame Beneath the Snowfall focuses on action, with a sense of adventure, but mostly the discovery of an outside world, and the protagonist's exposure to it. Add in a whisk of soft magical elements, and you get a story that I hope will be interesting to the readers. That is not to say that my work is without the sense of unnerving atmosphere, however. As a forewarning, there are elements of gore, horror, minor elements of mental trauma, etc. so it is not for all audiences. *The book is already completed. Although I have plans to continue the story (it would have to involve much larger scope in terms of world-building), I have yet to decide when to start the next entry.
