Chaos From The Moon An imminent confrontation
"First of all, ow! Secondly, let go. Geez," Naomi said. Azriel stared at her for some seconds before he dropped her hand.She rubbed her sore wrist then whipped her head up to meet his violet eyes. "What do you think I'm doing here, huh?" Naomi glowered at him."Directly disobeying your emperor, I presume?" Az responded cooly as he crossed his arms against his chest."Oh fuck that," Naomi answered sharply.Azriel blinked once, then twice. Silence reigned for a moment then out of the blues, he burst into a fit of laughter.Naomi stumbled back a bit, startled by his outburst."You are very lucky that the archers all around know who you are because you would have been dead right now," he said between chuckles."Yeah, I kind of figured that out when I felt a hundred watchful gazes drilling into my back," Naomi replied."Two hundred," Azriel clarified.Naomi's eyes widened as she turned her head around but still couldn't pinpoint anyone exactly.Azriel took off her bag and then slung an ar
Chaos From The Moon Hope
Aelyna, come," Naomi ordered through the bond between her and her dragon as she and her husband stepped out of the command tent and into the afternoon sun."Where's Dreygor?" she asked Daegal who had a troubled look on his face. "and what's wrong? What are you thinking about?"Daegal glanced at her for a second before turning away. "In a cave, a short ride from here."As he answered, two squires brought over two horses for them, which they mounted."You didn't answer my second question," Naomi said as she spurred her horse into a trot."Do not worry about it, Cari. Let us go," he said and before Naomi could prod him further, he dug his foot into his horse's flank and it galloped off."You're lucky I love you," Naomi muttered to herself while she motioned her horse to go faster just as Aelyna flew overhead, following her rider.Within a few minutes, they had cleared their camp and were now deep into the woods. Eventually, they both came upon a wide clearing surrounded by caves. From th
Chaos From The Moon Ready for battle
"I hope we are not interrupting," said Chief Sirius. Daegal cleared his throat and went to stand by the large table. He spread his palms on its surface then shifted his gaze from Naomi to Sirius and finally Azriel."There is something my wife and I heard today from our encounter with my sis—with Nezetta. She mentioned that Master Faizar, the man whom we have nothing on, is the one, true ruler. She serves him now," he announced. Sirius was taken aback. "What do you mean, Emperor? Babatunde Alen has always been the rebel leader who wants to overthrow your rule, eliminate magic, and make himself the ruler of this continent!" "So I thought," Daegal said. Then he straightened and crossed his arms over his chest. "Nezetta did not say more but it is now obvious to me that Babatunde is merely a pawn on the chessboard. This Faizar is the one moving all the pieces on the board. We must find out something about him. Something we can use."Sirius stroked his bushy beard as his brows furrowed i
Chaos From The Moon A disturbing report
The world was at peace. No war and no evil warlord was trying to destroy everything Naomi loved. Life was bliss.And then she woke up.Naomi rubbed her eyes as she rose from the bed she shared with Daegal. When she glanced beside her, her husband was gone but his side was still warm meaning that he must have left not long ago."When would everything go back to normal?" she murmured to herself as she stretched out her muscles and climbed out of bed.Naomi did her morning routine with the preparations that had been left for her and when she was finally dressed in a flowing gown that was cinched at the waist since she didn't feel like wearing leather, she opened the heavy flap of the tent, nodded to the guards stationed outside who bowed at her and stepped out.Two of the guards trailed behind her as she walked. Everywhere she passed, soldiers, workers, and camp followers alike bowed and offered smiles to her which she graciously returned.Everywhere seemed calm. The sun was out and the
Chaos From The Moon Breaking into minds
"It will not matter if you kill them, Naomi. After this, we will not need them alive anyway," Azriel added but Naomi was still not convinced. She leaned against Daegal's chest for solace. "What if I kill them before I get any information? I don't know if I can do this..."Daegal turned her to face him. "You can. And if you kill them, who cares? No one else knows you have this power in you, so others will just think our torture methods were ineffective on them. We just need you to try, beloved."Naomi chewed on her bottom lip so hard that she almost drew blood. "Okay. Okay."Azriel patted her back as she stepped closer to the captured soldiers. Then, she pressed her thumbs against their foreheads and closed her eyes. Naomi concentrated on finding that tether that she usually had to grab onto to hurtle her way down a person's mind. Shuddering sighs came out of her as she focused on releasing a strand from that roiling ball of magic deep within her chest and attaching it to the men be
Chaos From The Moon Control
Naomi couldn't sleep. She turned once on the firm mattress and then twice before she tossed the sheets off of her body.The weather was cold but her skin was sweaty and clammy. The events of the day still bothered her even though she had spent the rest of it teasing Azriel with Daegal and watching how the blacksmiths fashioned fresh weapons and armor.Remorse wasn't the problem. No, Naomi didn't feel any guilt or sorrow over the enemy soldiers she had killed. She had come to realize that in this world, it was kill or be killed and for her loved ones, she would do anything for them.It was the terror of her power that ate at her, and the mystery surrounding its origin. There were too many questions that had no answers and damn if it wasn't frustrating.Meriana's unfortunate passing had opened her eyes to just how volatile and unpredictable the magic she possessed could be and while she felt better that it was the enemy she used it on earlier that day, Naomi wondered how devastated she
Chaos From The Moon Siege
Ransia was a combination of island cities and a mainland city. Naomi wasn't even sure if she preferred Estoria anymore. It resembled a paradise. As she flew behind Daegal, over the sprawling city, she couldn't help but marvel at the view below her. There was a perfect balance between the residential, industrial, and forest areas. They all thrived individually and collectively. Finally, she and Daegal landed their dragons atop a hill on the outskirts of Chief Malon's palace and used horses for the rest of the way. Their small host which consisted of images and soldiers including Azriel and Thalia, caught up with them before they got to the entrance of the palace where a tall, handsome man in his early fifties alongside a shorter, pretty woman; stood waiting to greet them. Behind the two were three armored guards and about seven servants. "Emperor Daegal, welcome to Ransia," the man bowed deeply. "This is my wife, Lolo Aurora." He pointed to the woman beside him who curtsied.Daegal
Chaos From The Moon Defender of Ransia
Babatunde had finally made a direct attack and they had not expected it at all. With the dark look on Daegal and Azriel's faces, Naomi immediately knew that they would blame themselves. Azriel turned to Chief Malon. "Where is your army situated? Are they ready for battle at the moment?" "No," Malon answered. "They are in their barracks in different areas of the city. We were not expecting a siege. They should not have been able to break through our-" "Well, they have, Malon. They have. Now get out there and rally your army immediately. As your scouts must have told you, Babatunde's numbers are immense. Go, now!" Daegal ordered and turned to Naomi just as Malon rushed out of the room with the messenger soldier at his heels. "Azriel, go with him. You are in charge of his army and if he dares to say anything more, remind him who his emperor is."Azriel nodded and cleared the room. "How are we going to get our army here? I don't think our dragons can carry more than three at a time,"
