I'm sorry to say this, but this story has been discontinued and this account will no longer be used. If you wish to read a story set in the same world as this but with lesser elements of fantasy, then read this http://w.tt/1qO2aVd 


The kingdom of Relicia has been at peace for centuries. But the death of the chief advisor leads to a series of events that causes all-out war. As the nation crumbles away control over the kingdom shifts between the various houses. On the other hand raids from the west grow stronger and harsher by the day. Fearing the loss of his power, the king reopens the kingdom's doors to the world and brings further chaos to the dying nation. Meanwhile in the midst of all this chaos an ancient evil awakens in the west and there is nothing they can do to stop them.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. As this story is still in development I will update it every week or so.

(Finally! I'm updating this story again. Sorry for the much longer delay than anticipated. I hope to add at least four chapters/month. I will shoot for one chapter every Sunday.) The Masters are gathered, and the students have shown their skills, but the training has barely begun. Natalia waits for the new life growing in her body and her soul. She has made her choice, but it will not be the last one. In the safety of the Master's Vale, the complexity of the real world can be forgotten, especially during the rigors of training. But outside of the Vale, forces continue to move towards war. Lukas waits outside the Vale, trying not to become jealous of the life Natalia and Raja are building together. His purpose is clear, he must save the Kingdom from downfall, the Queen must not win this ground. But his reasons for fighting are beginning to blur and forces around him seek to shift his focus. Who is his true enemy? Raja should be happy. He has two bondmates, growing magic, and an offspring he had never anticipated. But everything feels like it is balanced on a knife's edge and his Tribe calls to him. What will tip the scale? The intrigues of the Masters and the Queen become ever more complex, weaving a web over the three. As more people enter their lives, the tangles and snares multiply.
