THE ASC3NDANTS, Apprentice Prodigy. (II)

Cobham is an apprentice to Stoyler Kleed, MOTH's most prominent Alchemist. Stoyler is organizing MOTH's Alchemist tournament when a report comes in that the Yakunko are back. However, this time in a unique version MOTH has not dealt with before!
When Cobham comes out the champion of the tournaments, he is entrusted with his first MOTH mission to Winchester. His investigations show that the threat is a result of reckless trade with the African Sultanate Empire and so must cease until further notice.
On his return, the MOTH guard arrests master for violating one of MOTH's top code of conduct and it is the last time he ever saw him! His sister is the queen mother in Wales and the king is slowly dying. And when his childhood best friend Van'klopp, also the youngest of the Council of nine Lords in Wales becomes regent to the throne, anarchy boils.
However, the Grand Sultan won't listen because this trade has been the back born of his empires mighty. And when the queen mother places Cobham in command of the Walsh fleet alongside the English forces, the sultanate may bend the knee but he won't return home for three months for several personal reasons he won't disclose!
However, these three months of his voyage within the great sea fog turns out six years away! His sister is dead, and half of Wales lies in waste because two-thirds of the Lords of wales are revolting against the Regent's new industrial policies.
Same time, an army of intelligent apes sweeps towards England, gone loose from Walsh underground industrial sectors. Van'Klopp, the regent can hold on no longer without the necessary resources. However, Cobham's time away was a research mission assigned to him by Stoyler Kleed in a letter. And his findings could be England's only hope to victory. Nevertheless, all victories come with great sacrifice still!
