Iron Empires Novels & Stories

"Not politically good. Actually good. That is rarer." "I know," I said. Rhen gave me a look that said she suspected I was aware of more than I was saying and that she respected me for not overstating it. She was a perceptive woman. It was what made her good at her work. Emily ran the full boundary of Ironblood's territory for the first time on the morning of the fifth session. Not as preparation for the session, she simply woke before dawn with her wolf pressing forward and went. I felt her go through the bond and let her. She came back an hour before we needed to leave, her hair damp from the early morning air, her wolf settled in the specific way of a wolf who has confirmed what was theirs

"Even our brothers sell us off for cheap change, and the battle our fathers from century fought and conquered, are the what in an ensemble we turn a blind eyes to, yet we suffer with gritting teeth." The hope for a utopia, was immersed in despair. The leadership was as it has always been in a typical dilapidated era, ruled by only power hungry lords. Ekryons, are the names of the emperors who ruled the four continents -Empire- that survived the last war: the servants of the god Ekron.

I really didn’t notice this the first time I came across it, maybe because I travelled at a really fast pace when I first came here. “It’s so pretty.” I said out loud. Prince Shiro looked at me with a smile on his face. The wide open fields reminded me of a park that I visited back when I had free time in between deployments. I know I’ve seen the map of this entire region but I’m curious if there are any other regions besides the one within the maps. What awaits us outside of this region? I began to think of every possibility of what could be out there. I’ve only known the 5 Empires within this whole region: The North, South, East, West and the Central Empire.

Flipping it over, Clara saw an almost faded illustration of five banners, each representing the five ruling empires of Hiestora—green with a golden brown tree for Terralis, red with a blazing ember for Fiordalt, misty gray with a spinning wind for Eirinia, blue with an ocean’s tear for Nivalon and chilly white with smoking icicles for Frostalia. In her mind, Clara’s curiosity was clawing its way out. It was the first time she saw the other emblem, the odd one out, drawn separately from the others. Surely, there was no existence of another empire, was it? It could not have been possible to be hidden from plain sight. Because, frankly, how could a big empire, assuming that it was, be invisible

After the great war, the Empire was divided into 5 lands, the Northland Warine, the Southland Marshforth, the Eastland Downbridge, the Westland Hurthend, and the middle of the empire, Runalia. Each of the lands had their own lord and was famous with many tales behind the land. Some were ferocious with only mythical creatures or beast around and some mixed with each other to learn how they could co-exist with the human.

The student body went into applause. “Any question?” Chloe asked “What was behind the name Empire?” Cami was the person to ask the question. Yes Cami was still in school, she was still a grade away from graduating high school. “That is a great question. Empire was the name of my late Godmother; I owe her a lot so I named everything I own after her.” Chloe replied with a smile

Everyone wanted to know the guy with no expression on his lower face and a black mask covering his upper face who could dance too well to be a mafian. Curiosity. That's what is going to make them so invested. That's what is going to make me so announced. I, Ariel Winter D'Angelo, the next ruler of the Empire. I'd finally gotten what I wanted. What I spent 12 years of my life targeting. My hand went to my leg in that instant and I swiftly removed the knife which I had placed there in the restroom. With the last beautiful and glorious turn, I pulled closer to The Viper's chest and sent the knife in.

He froze. “Mother,” he whispered. “You need to see this.” Ariadne strode to him with Ianthe behind her. Alessia’s heart hammered. “What is it? Another assassin?” “No,” Eryx said. “Worse.” Alessia stepped closer and her breath left her lungs. Outside, across the solar horizon, three beams of light rose into the sky. One gold. One silver. One dark violet. A heralding and a declaration. The Three Empires had activated the Summoning Pyres.

Adrian Chase wouldn’t allow himself to be weakened by something as trivial as love. After my workout, I got in my car and drove across town. I parked across the road from the towering, clinical-looking building and stared at it with fury coursing through every cell in my body. It was the central DC headquarters for MID, and I had plans to get inside to try and find out more about the homeless people Amelia and Barney Fucking Fife had stumbled upon.
