Champion: A Songs Of War Fanfiction

Chapter Fifteen

Thalleous perked up at the sound of an explosion. He grabbed his sword and ran to where it had come from. He heard several groans of pain, and then saw it. A pile of rubble, cobblestone and deepslate coating the ground. He looked around for survivors, and saw an ardoni in the rubble, groaning pitifully.

Aegus Nestoris.

He rushed over to the master of the Nestoris clan, and yelled as he hoisted rubble off the fallen elder. He picked the yellow-gold ardoni up and off the ground, and rushed him all the way to the medical wing of the Sendaria Militia's base. He saw shadowy figures running in the surrounding trees, and heard more explosions in the background, but pressed on, determined to save this last master of the old age.

Acchilean rode on a dragon, skillfully making his way through the end, in formation with hundreds of other soldiers. He was just behind an enderknight, who smirked as he saw Acchilean lose his footing for a brief second.

"Having trouble there, Song-wielder?"

Acchilean laughed. "In ardonia, we call ourselves Singers."

The enderknight gripped the bridles of his dragon's saddle. "Then because you have turned the tide of your war, I guess you are the Tidesinger."

The Nestoris warrior didn't feel great about the title.

Pythus readied his blade for combat, observing its harsh, dark tones, accentuated with cooled lava. Its netherite curves had stained blood on them. Sometimes he wondered why his father had made the deal with Ingressus Voltaris to secure the Prime Songs, and then remembered the honor that was to be received by all soldiers in this war. He rushed into combat, pushing through the trees towards death.

Hello there!

Another short chapter today: hope you didn't mind that. I don't have a lot to say, only that chapter 16 will hopefully be a bit longer.

Godspeed,
