A lost child, scarred and orphaned, is found by a new family. Time passes, wounds heal, and the child finds peace in his new life. His rescuer, once a stranger, becomes a friend and brother to him. But then, pain, denial, betrayal. Best friends, brothers, become mortal enemies, leaders in a war set to tear their land apart. A familiar, tragic story. But perhaps, the story was changed. Perhaps the will of the ocean brought the child to a different place, a different rescuer. Perhaps, in this story, the child's fate took a different path. A fanfiction of Songs of War. Spoilers are present; you've been warned. I have decided to try nanowrimo... I may regret this. Honestly if I finish this thing in two months I'll be happy. Holy. Crap. #1 in Voltaris, Galleous, Ataraxia, and Ingressusvoltaris??? ???????? Holy crap.

Ardonia fights its bloodiest war in history. The Voltaris strike against the other clans for the first time in 900 years. The Nether seeks vengeance against the Overworld with a gigantic siege. In the midst of it all is Thalleous Sendaris: Champion of the Ardoni, lieutenant in the Sendaria Militia, and one of the first combatants of the Great War. As powers older than any record join the battle, Thalleous wages war not just against enemies bearing swords, but the doubts he has about rivalries older than memory and the seductive power of the Prime Songs that this war is fought for. This story is the first in a set of two; the second being Champion Revised, a redone and notably modified work. If you are coming here from the Revised edition, don't feel worried that this is a strict copy of the newer text; there's satisfactory difference to keep you entertained. If this is your first foray into Champion, then pick either tale and fight the Great War! Proofreading by @Ingressuswrites.
