In the world of Dragonfire, anything is possible. Flying, teleportation, invisibility, the ability to create a lightning storm on a whim...anything can be done. And anything can exist. Goblins, Orcs, Dragons, Dwarves, Kitsunes...there are countless races, and countless abilities. A world of fantasy in which anything is achievable. Or so it seems. After all, everything has a cost. And victory...victory is the most costing of all.
Across the Black Sea, guarded by the Leviathan, there exists a large land separated into five territories. Celestia, Arvan, Ingres, Illicen, and Arumi. These five territories are named after those who control them. At least, that is how it used to be. From a distant land, the Snake Kingdom managed to bypass the Leviathan, and invade these five territories! Under the guidance of General Clauve, they crushed everyone in sight, until their only remaining opponent was Celestia. But they made a mistake, and Celestia capitalized. In a crushing defeat, the Snake Kingdom was bested after nearly 8 years of conflict.
After the war ended, Albedo Aria, a soldier from Celestia, was promoted to the rank of General. But she didn't feel like a hero. Suffering from severe PTSD, this story follows her as she tries to overcome the nightmares of war, and move on from the terrible things she was forced to do. She was raised to be a soldier, and joined the war from the age of eleven. As a soldier of Celestia, she could never, and still cannot ever disobey any orders. When war calls, she must answer. Whether she is truly willing to or not. But after four years without conflict, surely things couldn't reach that state again?
Or perhaps that isn't the case. After all, her dear cousin must deliver a letter to her. A letter telling her that the Snake Kingdom is on the rise in their very own land. A letter telling her that every sliver of happiness she has gained after the war ended will be lost. A letter telling her that she must return to war...

SUMMARY TEASER
One would think a princess has it easy, or extremely hard.
Vaylene, on the rarer hand, has nothing at all.
In her world, staying inside of the walls is key to protection. Regular citizens rarely, hardly leave and travel into the dark woods. Vaylene realizes with a fright that she never knew she was so afraid of the night until she looked at those same forests with the moon held high.
Because...what lies beyond the meadow was nothing to be excited about. So she's told. And yet, when she's offered a piece to savor with an nasty, monstrous aftertaste, why does she feel the blood rushing through her veins?
Why does she feel the need to run and never look back but stays still all the same? In the movies and in the stories, it all ends up well. She gets the happy ending. But what if she realizes too late life wasn't a book?
What if things get more complicated than that, and even the villain isn't clear? What happens when she ventures outside of the walls that have been created to protect her, sister in tow, in search of a reason?
Pulled into a world of monsters schemes, adventures, Chain-Toppers and war working under the only thing remotely close to a demon, she has no hope other than to save her sister.
How much can she get away with? And how much will she lose?
When the evil is unclear and nothing is simple like it should be in a fairy tale, is the past really so simple and plain as it's been told? If not, how will everyone move forward from the haunting past of MoonCaster looming over every shoulder? Could anyone really forget the damage done by merciless teeth?
The action in this story progresses as the plot does! So please me patient 🥺🥺 Thank you for discovering and taking the time to explore my worl
