A few weeks before Ava arrived into human lands Emperor Acadian was beginning his armies march into elven lands.

He was fully prepared to take back everything that should have been his by birth right. The notes the Orgrasan line left behind worked perfectly, allowing him to break past the elven defences that has held back a multitude of armies for thousands of years.

The Orgrasan ancestors of old when they were being pushed back by the elves knew they were on limited time, that there was no hope to defeat them however they successfully lay a trap.

They knew the elves plan was to lay a massive formation using their expertise, using the natural mountains to empower it many fold making it impossible for anyone under the third realm to breach it.

Knowing this the Orgrasans prepared a weak point that would disrupt the formation, one that would remain undetectable until it was exploited, to the elves the formation worked perfectly they did not notice anything amiss, and why would they since the formation had served it purpose since it was built without any problems arising.

No one dared to use it since it has been introduced, there would be only one chance since the elves would be able to remove the weak point making his ancestors sacrifice useless.

None has the strength or confidence to oppose the elves until him, if he still wavered despite having the entire Greenlands at his disposal he would be a failure.

Using the weak point he was able to breach the elves defences catching them off guard, they had been holding back the large human army almost casually at this point.

They did not expect him and a detachment of his strongest monarchs to sneak into Fort Casden, this time they did not hold back and brought the full strength of the human experts to force.

Infiltrating the fort they sabotaged the gate, allowing his large army to charge in, they then disrupted the formation by targeting the heart of the formation that was located at the fort, the central node of the formation had to be held at Fort Casden since the auxiliary nodes along the natural formation of the mountain points all met at this position.

It was why it was heavily defended and it’s fall took down the entirety of the formation.

Even he despite being the strongest human in the Greenlands continent would be a bit at a lost of it if not for the weak point enabling him to breach it.

However now he was able to enter his ancestors lands once and for all, it doesn’t matter if the leader of the elves holes themselves inside the capital, he will annex the surroundings lands, use the territories natural resources to bolster his Empire and box them in until he flushes them out eventually.

He was young for a Human Monarch, he had the means to be patient, he had already waited centuries for the opportunity to take these lands, what does a few more mean to him?

Acadian almost chuckled to himself at the thought. It was then he heard the flapping of wings indicating a Wyvern flying nearby.

Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.

Expecting his subordinate the Wyvern landed, sat atop of it was his right-hand man, the leader of an elite division he had coined the Orgrasan Hunters for their detection abilities, manoeuvrability and versatility.

He was one of his strongest experts so it was a great shock seeing the state he was in.

His black armour was chipped, he had multiple slashes over his cuirass and his Wyvern one of the stronger ones he had reared appeared injured.

Rake was a Monarch like him. Although he was weaker, he was a dual-cultivator possessing great adaptability being a Warrior and Mage although he was more adept as a Warrior.

“I expect that group of elves you tailed led you to an interesting find?” Acadian asked.

“Yes my liege, we were able to employ our stealth abilities to the max following the clan lord to this area, however we ran into problems as he met up with a key member of the Royal Clan, Prince Lisin. The Prince was able to detect us despite the stealth runes on the Wyverns hiding our presence, it was why we were forced into making a move for the Prince himself.” Rake said seriously.

“And what was the results?” Acadian replied with a curious tone.

“We almost got the clan lord, Kais, however Prince Lisin is as formidable as they say. His mind magic was able to penetrate the protections our Rune Masters have worked on to defend against them, the Prince is also a capable combatant, we believe he has formed his Sword Heart similar to your Majesty.“ Rake said with disappointment.

“Hmm. You don’t have to concern yourself about this Rake, Prince Lisin is one of their best and has been alive for a long, long time, it is to be expected for him to be strong. However even as Elves those old dogs must be reaching their end, their tricks to prolong themselves have to be running out, it has been almost ten thousand years since they have entered this land and they were thousands of years old back then. At least it will give us the opportunity to take down the culprits of my ancestors ruin.” Emperor Acadian said with a fire glowing in his eyes.

“Yes your Majesty, the Prince escaped along with the clans lord. However they abandoned the remaining elves as soon as they realised we had more Monarchs coming in as support. We have captured a few, I also have further information that may be of interest to you.” Rake said.

“Hmm, the Prince escaping is to be expected. Though what of it?” Acadian said questionably.

“A few of my men came across a Druid, a Mage, an injured elf and alongside them was a little girl…” Rake said to Acadians surprise.

“A Druid is somewhat interesting, accompanying a Mage too, but Druids rarely interfere with matters such as this, even if he lived among these elves their order has maintained its neutrality for years, I will respect them and not interfere with a member of their order if he knows best for him and stays out of this.” Acadian said believing this matter was over, however Rake continued.

“It’s not the Druid or Mage that should be focused on, it’s the child. Her features show her to very likely to be one of them, you know how valuable they are among Elves, maybe we should pursue to…” Rake was about to make a point but Acadian shook his head.

“Forget about the girl. The Druid spared those men’s life for a reason, let’s see it as doing him a favour. I don’t want to needlessly provoke the Druidic order for no reason, we have more important things to focus on, Prince Lisin is one of them. Pull the rest of your men back, I want to focus on securing this land over the next few years, we will block them in that capital of there’s whilst we take down their foundations within these lands one by one.” Emperor Acadian said firmly giving Rake no reason to rebut.

He was fully focused on those lands. Acadian wanted no further distractions. The girl was interesting, but was too young to interfere with anything for a long time. He did not believe she would be anyone of importance in the grand scheme of things.

Acadian found himself soon forgetting of the matter of the young girl entirely, not realising in the future he would gravely regret letting go of this opportunity.
