Book one: The Misfortunate One
  • This is the story about a young woman by the name of Reyna Emilia Estella Militia, but before we get to her story first we must get to know the world before her time. It all began in a world called Iaclumar, where there once lived three kingdoms, The Kingdom of Estralla, The Kingdom of Lumina and the kingdom of Militasora. Each kingdom was unique and had different types of terrain. The Kingdom of Estralla was a snowy ice terrain, The Kingdom of Lumina was mainly grassy, Hills with many rivers going through the kingdom, while while Militasora had some grassy patches most of the lower parts were filled with dark sand that was hard for anyone to live in. For centuries the three kingdoms lived in peace with one another, until one of the kingdoms, the kingdom of Lumina 'got bored' of the peace and chose to pick a fight with the kingdom that looked the most vulnerable-which happened to be the kingdom of Estralla. It was a mistake on their part, they mistook those who lived in the ice and snow as weak people due to how the snow and ice would wear their people down.
  • But the kingdom of Estralla overpowered the Lumina kingdom and chose to give them one chance to surrender or make peace. The king and queen at the time-King William and Queen Ashley wouldn't dare surrender or make peace, unlike their three children Richard, Gillen and Lily. So they ended up going against their parents to kill them before Richard took over the spot as Ruler and chose to agree to make peace. In the treaty to make peace the eldest of both families married. The eldest of both families were Richard Lumin and Amatae Estral, with the two of them together they chose to break apart the large kingdoms that they both held under them.
  • Amatae let her youngest sister Cordelia take half of the kingdom that she ruled as her own, as Richard allowed his siblings to do as they wished only for them to both leave the kingdom together. Gillen being the middle child went to the kingdom of Estralla himself and married the second eldest daughter Amaya who became the newest ruler of the kingdom due to Amatae not having enough time to go between kingdoms, she had to step down from the throne to her own kingdom after she had married Richard and given birth to their first born who was a male named Kalin.
  • As time went on the kingdom of Estralla and Lumina were no longer around. Instead there were kingdoms that were made in their stead. Where Estralla was the kingdom of Mirfield was built for the angelic people and the dragon's that they were partnered with, and below them was the kingdom of Tamworth was built where Cordelia the youngest of the Estral offspring went to start up what would be known as the elemental welders who are rather fickle with whom they are friendly towards.
  • While the war between the two kingdoms happened the kingdom of Militiasora kept neutral due to not really wanting to deal with the conflict between two ignorant kingdoms. It wasn't until the old King and queen of the kingdom Elias Militia and Ria Sola died off leaving their four kids on their own that they had wanted to reach out to the other kingdoms only for the princess of the Lumina kingdom to come straight to the kingdom. She asked for peace and to start anew there. It was the eldest child's choice to marry Lily to give her the life that she wished to have. As the two ruled over the kingdom Onyx knew that the kingdom was too much for him, so he allowed his youngest sibling-his only sister to take the lower part of the kingdom for herself, since she knew exactly how to deal with the terrain there.
  • When she got there she had managed to see that there had been people who had already claimed it as their own that closed themselves off from the kingdom of Militiasora, the man that she had met up to that ruled over that section of the kingdom called it the kingdom of Oakheart. The males name was Marcus Sparkfreed, after learning who the female he had met up with was he chose to make her his wife with very little thought and they had one child by the name of Aiden, the male had short black hair and purple eyes who they raised for centuries before things got rough and difficult for every kingdom that had began to form. Which is where Reyna’s story began. It all started with the offspring of the kingdom of Mirfield that came from Gillen Luma and Amaya Estella by the name of Emilia Estella-the First Archangel and Commanding Valkyrie of the Kingdom. She had found out that her father came from a family of unique power. She took her best fighters, including her own daughter to where her father once called home. At the same time, Lily and Onyx’s offspring-All eight of them had found out about where their mother had come from.
  • Curious about the life of those that would have been their cousins they flew to make peace not wanting war on their doorstep. They had been taught that war and bloodshed wouldn’t get them anywhere. Knowing that all of them couldn’t go due to someone having to own the throne, only Zavier, Bram, Andrea and Darius went, leaving the others to protect their homeland. They took part of their forces along with them just in case there were some problems. Darius would rather be safe than sorry when it comes to leaving their homeland for the first time. When it came to the Militia offspring to go to the place that their aunt and uncle lived in they were greeted by a duo who had two children. One male, one female-both children having white hair and pink eyes as traits. At first the couple was rather surprised to see the four, not knowing that Lily had married or that she even had children of her own.
  • Seeing that they were in their twenties-Richard knew that it had to be a blood trait of the demon that Lily had married that made them grow faster than their own children. The four demons were very welcomed since they just wanted peace and acceptance, which they were given once they asked for it. They got to know more about their cousins-Kalin and Julia who were rather keen on being close to Zavier and Lucian. As the lot of them were talking they were rudely interrupted by Emilia and the angels that came with her.
  • The first to know the sword of Emilia was Bram who had protected Zavier from being beheaded by pushing his eldest brother out of the way of meeting the blade of the sword-turning instantly into dust after going into flames screaming out in agony. Zavier was shocked that his younger brother had done such a thing and was glued to the ground as Emilia looked smug about killing the demonic male as she spat on the pile of dust where Bram's body once stood. "Evil deserves to die."
  • "You murder! What did my younger brother ever do to you!" Zavier said angered
  • Emilia looked to him with a smug grin "If he's your brother then you're just as evil as he is and deserve to die just as much as he does." Emilia, a blond haired female with green eyes said as she pointed her sword at the raven haired male.
  • Richard had his wife take his kids to a different room as he tried to defuse the situation as peacefully as he could. "Miss, who are you?" Richard asked
  • "My name is Queen Emilia Estella of the Kingdom of Mirfield, the eldest daughter of Gillen Luma and Amaya Estella." She said proudly
  • "Gillen Luma is your father huh?" Richard asked curiously
  • She rolled her eyes. "Yeah...Didn't I just say that?! gods! What is with old people and not listening?!"
  • Richard went up to Emilia and he grabbed her sword out of her hand before he broke it into dust with his bare hands making everyone there look at him in awe and shock. Emilia was enraged that her sword was broken. "How dare you! My father gave me that sword on my sixteenth birthday as a gift!"
  • "And guess who made it for him?" Richard stated seriously
  • Emilia was silent for a bit before she stomped her foot like a child. "That’s not fair! I worked hard to get that sword!"
  • "Oh cry me a river you self-righteous child! You can get a replacement for your sword! Unlike me, you killed my own brother without even a good incentive. We may have demonic blood in us that's given to us by our beloved father but at least we don't kill people for the heck of it. We wish peace and want nothing more than to be accepted by the man who you've talked back to." Zavier stated seriously "Stop acting like a child and act your age for gods sake!"
  • Emilia glared at Zavier before she went up to him pushing him up against the white stone wall behind him. "Bite your tongue demon spawn, I don't care if you are family. You have no ties to me and I will end up killing you and everyone that shares the same blood as you!"
  • Zavier's left eye twitched before he showed his demonic form which made him have six rather muscular black and dark blue skinned arms, large long black wings that looked to be made of toughen leather, Horns sticking from his head and a new attire that was just him wearing a pair of black pants and a vest that covered part of his upper body with sockets on the side for his six arms as well as a tail that was split into four dark spades that look as sharp as daggers. He grabbed the angelic woman by her left arm and threw her across the room making her back hit the wall as he glared at her.
  • "Threaten me all you want-I can take the pathetic words from a bratty queen wannabe. Threaten my family and Kingdom and you are asking for unnecessary bloodshed and death. I do not wish to quarrel with someone who should have been family. But if you do not see me as such then I shall call you a stranger as will all of my younger siblings. Being that I am in fact the eldest I call the shots here I am the king of my Kingdom. Since you do not know who I am-Let me elaborate for you. My name is Lord Zavier Militia, the ruler of Militia, Son of Lord Onyx. Militia and Lady Lily Luma, the youngest sibling of the man beside me-Richard Luma." Zavier stated
  • Emilia pried herself from the wall and went at the male with a vine whip trying to choke him"I don’t care who you are! You are the epitome of evil! You must die like father and mother have taught me growing up!” Emilia shouted
  • Zavier scoffed and he blocked it with his upper two arms before breaking the whip into pieces on the ground. She looked at him in utter shock as she realized she had made her match-she had been the strongest angelic person out there. With someone who could best her...she had no other choice but to glare at him and point her left pointer finger at her.
  • "You've done this to yourself Demon! Your kin will die and the angel's will be the highest race here!"
  • Zavier scoffed as he turned back to normal. "No...they won't. The founder race will still be the high race around even if you kill me and my kin. You see, if it wasn't for Uncle Richard and his wife our families wouldn't have ever existed." Zavier said before he looked to his siblings that were there with him that were still alive. He spoke in a tongue only they could understand before they scurried off.
  • Zavier told his younger sister and brother to go home and report to the others. Telling them that they were at war with their angelic counterparts and that one of them struck Bram down without even a good reason. When they left Emilia glared even harsher at the demonic male. "Just how old are you?" Emilia asked
  • "I'm currently twenty five years old, you?" Zavier asked with a raised eyebrow as he turned back to his normal human-like state to conceal his demonic-like appearance from those around him.
  • "I'm Twenty three, how is it possible that you are older than me? My parents are older than yours?!" Emilia hissed out
  • "Hm...Let's see." Zavier stated sarcastically. "My family loves one another, even after the passing of my beloved mother-we still did everything as a dear family and kept the routines as such-my parents taught my seven siblings and I that we are to make bonds with love and friendship on our side, that war and bloodshed..."
  • Zavier sighed as he looked at the ashes that were now his younger brother. "War and bloodshed would only cause more and more people to die-that war is Never ending unless people learn to love one another and accept the differences that we have. We were also told that if we are provoked by someone who opposes us, that we have yet to know-then throw out what we know and go with our natural instincts. As of now you have war on your doorsteps young lady-pft, if I can even call you that with your attitude. You better be ready for the storm of hell that you've placed upon yourself destroying one of the eight Lords of Militia! If you want ruins-we will give you that but at your kins blood as the cost. Be prepared and don't you dare hold anything back, we have a lot we hide and I hope you find our little surprise for your kin to your liking."
  • As he spoke to her about the war he pushed her up against the wall and had his hand against her throat as he stared straight into her green eyes with his gold ones. It was safe to assume that Zavier was *ed but was keeping a cool composer due to not wanting to show his uncle that he could be violent. He was a peacemaker, not a warrior-even if he did have the training to fight. He never liked it and chose to let his younger siblings have something to boast about when they had their evening meals together. As of now Andrea and Lucian-The two youngest of the eight lords of Militia, are the best that Militia has when it comes to fighting, Zavier knew this and hoped that whatever forces they had would be good enough to take on whatever the Angel's may have. With that Zavier left saying a final farewell to his uncle. When he got home he had to make a rather large announcement that Militia for the first time was being placed through war, any male or female who was over the age of sixteen would be enlisted into the war to help protect their homeland.
  • Zavier hated having to call upon his own kingdom for help, but it was something he knew he had to do. Being that he was taught at a young age that at times he would need to. That it would be a burden a lord of Militia would have, his mother and father both taught him that lesson very harshly. To that day he hadn't understood what it meant to rule a kingdom-but he knew then that he would have to try to understand. After his mother died when he was only ten years of age, his father stayed until his siblings were old enough to remember who he was-then he left. Without a word to anyone, he just vanished. The only thing that was left in his wake was a small note stating that Zavier was in charge till his death-then it'd be the next eldest in line and so on. It was a week after their father's disappearance that Zavier was crowned in front of his kingdom and was given the throne that his father one sat on so strongly and boldly.
  • He hadn't married but he did have a girlfriend at the time-in time he had married her, he now had a young rather silver tongued daughter who was five years old. He adored his daughter with all of his life and heart, he'd do anything to see his dear princess smile and laugh. With Emilia-after Zavier left she glared at Richard.
  • "How come he does not get the cold shoulder or glare that you give me?" Emilia asked
  • "He came bearing peace-he didn't come here sword blazing and killed an innocent man where he stood. Tell me exactly how is someone 'evil' to you?" Richard asked
  • "If the blade you turned to dust burns and turns them to dust." Emilia stated seriously
  • Richard got a dagger from his side and took it out. "I made this dagger with the same material I made your father's sword from, it's a rare material that is only found in a certain forest that one of my wife's brother's owns. Hold your hand out."
  • Skeptically-she did palm facing upwards, he then held her hand before he placed the blade against her skin. Her skin began to burn and singe as she could see that her blood was turning to dust just like the demon's body had. Her eyes widened in shock. "H-how...What witchcraft is this?!"
  • "This material burns the skin of anyone it does not see worthy of holding it. It is why your father probably told you not to touch the blade...did he not?" Richard asked
  • Emilia looked down sadly. "He had...How does one become worthy of holding it?"
  • "One must go to the forest that belongs to my wife's brother, and take the trial within that forest. Though I've heard from her that the trial isn't for those who act first and think last. So you wouldn't ever make it through it...you would die." Richard stated
  • "H...How dare you! I can do anything if I put my mind to it! I'm a queen after all." She said proudly
  • "Queen of ignorance no doubt...Leave my home before you are cast out." Richard said waving off the angelic female
  • Emilia took a book out of her satchel on the side of her and began to chant in an unknown tongue to Richard, he stopped walking towards the door only to see that the female was casting a spell. Richard counter cast and at the same time they hit each other with their spells only for Richard's spell to be overpowering and knock Emilia down to the ground. Richard glared at her.
  • "I see this is where you're going, you may be my brother's daughter-but you have placed ill thoughts in his name. If war is what you wish, you will see why the founders are the strongest and why we will always prosper over any side breed." Richard stated seriously
  • When Emilia and her warriors came back to the cold kingdom she called a rally of all of the angels in the council which consisted of her and all of her siblings-The five of them were known as the stars fate, or so they called themselves. Emilia told her siblings what had happened to her and that they were at war not only with their demonically evil counterparts but the founders who had made up what they were to begin with. She wanted revenge for what had happened to her and her sword. In her eyes, she did nothing wrong. So...the war began.
  • The founders backed up the demons, as the angels began to charge at the demons, Zavier had cut his hand with a dagger and placed his hand on a black lily tattoo that was marked on his upper right arm. In the middle of the battlefield a rather large black and purple vortex appeared and a large black creature that had dark purple glowing eyes, many arms came out of the vortex. It went in front of the demons and took out only a small portion of the angels that were there. Mainly those who followed the angelic orders of the younger two angels, for his own selfish matters. He then vanished back into the vortex once more. Once he was gone the founders and demons could see that more than half of the forces that were out against them were under the rule of one of the two that the spawn he had summoned despised.
  • The angel’s were now *ed at what had happened and went straight for Zavier-the main one who did was Emilia who had a new sword. Emilia did manage to clash swords with Zavier until their swords were lost and they were battling it out with their hands until Zavier managed to get her pinned to the grassy ground they were fighting on. Zavier smirked down at her “You know for an angelic woman, you fight with the spirit of my kind. It’s rather ironic to say the least.”
  • “Shut up you demonic trash!” Emilia hissed out
  • He laughed and smiled at her. “Really now? And here I was going to say even though you have the traits of a demon you have the beauty of an angel...but maybe I should have started with that first.” he teased
  • Emilia’s eyes widened as she heard him speak. “LIES! YOU’RE A SICK LIAR!”
  • “I am not-you don’t know me, and I know at this point you never will. All time for cease fire has passed, I refuse to kill those who are supposed to be family. So let's see how you do in the realm of fears and illusions.” He said as he had a tight hold on her arms and took her to a dark realm where she couldn’t see anything for miles.
  • Emilia could only tell that Zavier was no longer holding on to her and that she was no longer in the plain she was so used to. She was careful to walk around as she tried to get her light spell to work-but it wouldn’t. As she kept walking her left foot after a while triggered a long line of torches that held a bright yellowish orange fire, which led on beyond what her angelic eyes could see. Now being able to see she stopped walking and she ran-ran as quick as her small little angelic legs could get her noticing how anything angelic didn’t work in where she was. As she began to lose her breath she saw a rather big light at the end of the line of torches.
  • So she ran slightly quicker just to reach it until she finally reached the end, when she got to the end she saw the male who she had married there, who looked at her. Emilia said nothing as she allowed the lust and love she had for the man she married to get to her. What she didn’t know was that it was just an illusion of what she wanted to see, who she truly saw before her was Zavier. For days on end, he would be at her mercy due to her not letting him go, which was something he wasn’t used to. After a month he let her go out of the cave she had been in unconscious, he gave her a silent farewell before he left her alone. There was a stand-off after that month, Zavier went to make sure that everything was alright with his uncle and his siblings. When he went to check on his uncle the place was in ruins, he called out to the elder male but could only find a young white haired female with pink eyes who was losing consciousness.
  • He went to the young girl and helped her out the best that he could as he carried her. “What’s your name, little one?”
  • “I...I’m Reina...Reina Ruiz.” She said weakly. “Where...Where is mommy, Daddy and big brother?”
  • “Gone most likely, but I’m going to see if I can find someone who can take you in Reina, I assure you that you’re going to be okay little one.”
  • She nodded her head and leaned against him as he asked her questions about herself and what she was doing there. Zavier found out that Reina Ruiz was a side branch of the Luma family, in her own little words she told him that her family was one of three families that were protectors of the Luma family and her duty was to the Prince and Princess who she never got to meet due to the war. She had heard word that they had fled and went into hiding but where? She had no idea, which upset her. It didn’t take long for Zavier to find the aura of Richard and his family, once he did, he took his wings out and he flew towards where they were landing in front of the small shop where Richard was. Richard was surprised to see Zavier with a child. Richard took the child and thanked Zavier for finding her, from there the two of them spoke about what to do about the situation since there was a stand-off due to Emilia not being around, she was the one who led the entire war to begin with.
  • Without her around it was chaotic, Zavier had lost his two youngest siblings to rogue Angles. All of the dragons that were under Lucian and Andrea’s command were M.I.A or K.I.A. So he went searching for any survivors after giving the young girl to Richard to take care of. In the forest, he found not only a small young child-who no doubt was the love child of his siblings, but a dragon egg as well. He knew he’d have to take care of them, so he took both of them back to the kingdom with him only to give the egg to a dear friend of his by the name of Lucas and his wife Eliza. They were acid dragons that were the first dragons to make a pact with the Militia family when his father and mother first made the kingdom.
  • The duo weren’t fully dragons but enjoyed being in their dragon form. The dragon egg was left with them while the child was given to Darius, who was the only one who still had a woman who could take care of the child. With the child taken care of, Zavier waited in the forest to see what would happen for months on end, until it was almost an entire year. When Emilia flew towards the forest and kicked Zavier in the gut, making him be back first against the ground.
  • “HOW DARE YOU IMPREGNATE ME YOU DISGUSTING DEMON!” She yelled angered
  • Zavier just stared at her before he spoke, floating above tree tops. “How do you know that it’s mine?”
  • “You were the last person I was around! I knew something was wrong when I saw that illusion of my husband! He’s dead and you are not! So you take care of her! I cannot!”
  • “This child is yours, you willingly did things to me without any protest.” He stated with a shrug
  • He was then given the young baby girl in a red blanket. “Take care of that thing, it’s not my responsibility to take care of that.” She hissed out coldly
  • At that time, Emilia's siblings flew from the kingdom and stopped when they saw Emilia conversing with a demon of all people. Her four siblings went up to her confused as her younger brother’s kept a hand on their sword as they went up to their eldest sister.
  • “What’s going on here, why did you leave like you had?” Rosso asked confused
  • “This thing raped me and made me give birth to his spawn!” She hissed out angered
  • “Ouch, double whammy on that. First I never forced you to do anything, you did it all on your own, secondly this wouldn't have ever happened if you hadn’t killed my younger brother in cold blood like the sick * you are!” Zavier hissed out insulted “A life for a life, so you take care of your child.”
  • “It’s yours too!”
  • “You birthed it so it’s yours, demons aren’t allowed in the ice realms, our blood would turn to ice and we'd die. You of all people should know this. You can teach your daughter all she needs to know how to be an angel then have her kill me if it’s that much of a problem.”
  • “Well this is rather confusing...wait demon you said she killed your brother out of cold blood? That’s not what we were told.” Rosso stated
