《Shadowlove (Lite)》Chapter 56: Night of the Battle
Advertisement
"It must have been quite the battle. Who was combatting the enemies if you were down?"
"I'll let the reveal of their identity near the end, that way you would believe every word I say now. Anyways from what we could gather, the enemies that were the most threatening were the White Reaper and a powerful member of the Hellfire Gang. Some report seeing a large serpent-like being in the castle."
"Was it a summon?"
"There was no summoning circle or any traces of dimension magick that would suggest a summoning occurred. We can pin this on one of the Hellfire members being able to transform into a giant dullbeast or something."
"Incredible, the person who managed to defeat such a thing AND with the White Reaper. They must be even more valiant than you, Captain."
"I would be forced to agree with you all with that. I cannot say I could handle two enemies like those at the same time and still have my life."
"Well, that answers my other question."
"About if the person actually lived through the battle? Yes, they have. So that makes about three individuals who have faced the White Reaper and lived to tell the tale."
"The process of having people who are capable of handling the menace is growing. Good. We could have a full party soon."
"Not soon enough. But with this person, we might have a good chance of finally taking him down. In the battle, it looked like the individual has shown to have great power. Traces of Light magick have covered the throne room and tons of debris."
"Impressive. Not many people use Light Magick."
"Yes, anyways with whatever skill they have used to protect themselves with, they were able to repeal both enemies from the scene. We searched the castle and the capital and have found no trace of either of them. We have concluded that both have left the capital for the time to recover."

"How do you know both were hurt from it?"
"Blood was found. And lots of it to form a trail out of the castle. But no body was found, so."
"Ah, excellent work."
"Not enough to find the White Reaper, but for now, I conclude we have seen the last of him. Least for a good while."
"Yes, now he is unpredictable. He has never failed an assassination before."
"The Silverclaw tribe, have they send word about this situation?"
"No, but I expect a message from them soon enough."
"Is that all you needed to report?"
"Hmm, aside from me gaining consciousness, the queen growing tired of waiting and actively searching the castle for her family. We would then find both the king and the princess in the throne room."
"So, our mysterious savior has saved both our current and future ruler. Sounds like they have already earned themselves the Champion class."
"I believe they would if they were able to. But they have a more important role to consider, so they would have to decline."
"If you're done dancing around the subject, perhaps telling us all who this person is could forward this meeting?"
"Ah right, well the person I believe to have defeated the White Reaper is-"
"Yasuline" Her father finished his sentence, giving off a proud smile. He extends his hand onto her shoulder and lightly shakes her as she appears shocked that they said her name.
"Wait, Princess Yasuline fought off the White Reaper herself?" The nobles asked, completely in disbelief, and were staring at her now."
"Yes, we both agree that the one who fought him off was the princess herself." Caliber continued.
"But, how can that be? She doesn't even have training in combat or anything to the likes of your level."

"We believe it was another miracle that saved her from the White Reaper. But nonetheless, she still survived the wrath of him."
"That's my girl." Her father would continue and her mother goes around the table to hug her. Mixed emotion of fear and proudness. Either way, her mother was squeezing her tightly. It kinda hurt.
"So how exactly was she able to thwart the White Reaper?"
"With my trusty Runeblade Prototype!" Her father would excitedly answer. He would then reach under his cape and pulls out the runeblade that Yasuline had obtained from the Labyrinth.
"What is that?" Everyone had said. With the exception of Yasuline herself. She had a different question. Hesitant to ask,
"This is a prototype weapon from the Drago civilization. It is a sword-tyle weapon that allows the wielder to use it like a magick staff. Even have a Skill Series dedicated to it."
"That's quite the impressive weapon. Is that what she used to defeat the enemies?"
"It looks used, so I would have to say yes."
"Actually, I don't even remember knowing how to use it."
"She likely activated it during her struggle. What about the Blast of Light?"
"Yeah, I don't know how I did that either."
"She doesn't sound like she is confident about being the one who defeated the White Reaper.
"Well, neither I nor Caliber was able to combat him, the only conclusion we have is my own daughter."
They then went silent again. They were all slowly accepting the fact that the sheltered princess of the kingdom of Lumines was able to fight off the world's enemy, the White Reaper.

Memories of the Fall
This is a story about two sisters, Jun Arai and Jun Sana, and their friends, Juni, Ling and Shu who make their living as members of the Hunter Bureau, an organisation dedicated to dealing with the terrifying flora and fauna endemic to their home Great World. When they get dragged into a grand scheme to unpick the ancient secrets entombed within one its foremost forbidden zones in their world, the Yin Eclipse Mountains, they must all try to survive the dark machinations, eldritch undercurrents and the echoes of a terrible conflict trying to re-emerge into an unsuspecting cosmos that had rather hoped it was done with that kind of thing a few eras hence. So please come join Arai, Sana, Juni, Ling, Shu and the rest of my cast as they journey through strange lands, meet all kinds of unusual beings and unravel some of the power and glory of a land time tried very hard to forget. I promise terrifying mushrooms, angry snakes, confused gods, even more confused cultivators and much, much more! Update schedule: (02/6/2022) As chapters are done, sorry. Progress: Currently up to old chapter 13-15. Chapter 24(or 25)/13, Parts 1 & 2 will be the end of the rework. Part 2 has been temporarily delayed due to me getting a frozen shoulder in the middle of June, which has been very slow to properly clear up. It is getting better, though, but Shoulder/neck is the worst set of muscles to have issues with ;( You can currently pick up most story threads after the rewritten chapters, starting from chapter 13-14 (old) Genre-wise, this is a bit hard to pin down. It's technically a Xianxia (because cultivators!), but it also veers towards Xuanhuan and has more traditional High Fantasy elements and a bit of Gods and Monsters and All Myths Are (on some levels) Valid. It also has a fairly large, ensemble cast, so if multiple point's of view are not your thing I am sorry. It won't ever really be considered 'grimdark' by any real measure of that definition but it does go to some complicated and fairly places dark occasionally, which I will note in author pre-chapter notes when expedient!. About the Author I mainly write fiction for my own hobby, it makes a nice change from academic scribbling! I started writing this quite a number of years ago. It has grown somewhat organically out of a bunch of different interests in all kinds of Mythology, World Building, Drawing Maps, Archaeology, Anthropology, History and Epic Fantasy fiction into what it is today. So I hope you enjoy the story and thanks for reading! Other stuff The cover is made by the author, using photos taken by the author. There is a Discord Server- Please come and chat, but beware of spoilers.
