What do you do when you want to be famous?
In a fantasy world like this, there are few ways to make it big: kill a dragon, save a princess, win a fighting tournament. But there is one definite way to win fame.
Be a general.
Now, for an ambitious young lamia this looks easy. But when you can't even get out of bed in the morning, how are you going to travel half the country?
Well, meet Rinire.
Traveling, drinking, and maybe a bit of punching are all in the plan. She spent half her life training, and is finally ready for fame and glory, but when it's close enough to touch something always goes wrong. Whether her OP friend steals her kill or she wakes up with an open wound and a hangover, it's always out of reach. Until now.
(I have to stop rewriting these things...)
[UNDER EDITING]
Rhytdros--leader of the Gods.
The ruler of the elements. He is the oldest and most powerful since the beginning of time itself. He is credited for all the prosperity of a kingdom, and no mortal knows what would happen if one were to raise his temper.
Lantana knows her place. She's the monarch, the future queen of a kingdom bustling with magic and myth. She would be the most renowned and praised person in the land.
Never once overcome by power or wealth, she envied her people's simple, free lives. So, Lantana runs away, into freedom, and from the throne.
Years later, she is found and returned to her kingdom. Sorrow, despair, and disappointment all come with the sudden lifestyle change. Along with the negative comes a new, powerful feeling of leadership.
The home Lantana is reintroduced into is nothing like how she remembers it. Taken a nasty turn for the worse, her kingdom is being wracked with disaster because of her father's mistake. She will do anything to bring back peace and prosperity to her kingdom, even if it causes catastrophe in its place.

As stated, I'm undergoing editing and am too lazy to change all the banners in the chapters one by one, so I'll be doing it gradually.
Huge thanks to @redflowers- for the beautiful banner and @wandology for the cover and banners!
