The drumbeat pulsed rhythmically, sounding like a heartbeat that resonated in every chest and soul. It was followed by the sound of trumpets, which sounded like mournful cries, but strangely enough, they fired up the fighting spirit like flames kindled in warrior hearts.

At first, the rhythm was faint, but it grew louder and louder until it filled the very air with its power. The drums were beaten so hard that everyone's chest pounded in time with the beat, their hearts synchronizing with the call to war.

Even their ears rang when the trumpets sounded with the voice of destiny itself. The combination caused a feeling of unease in the hearts of the audience, as if they stood on the threshold between peace and the unknown.

"Shh, be quiet. The enemy is approaching!" someone whispered, though they meant the parade, not true foes.

The procession was led by a large army wearing bright red coats that blazed like captured fire in the morning light. Each button and embroidery on the sleeves of

The Enchanter seemed satisfied with his protective wizards, each one a weapon forged for the coming storm. He whispered to Hogret with the confidence of one who had chosen well."What do you think, friend? Do they have strong magic to protect me when darkness falls like a shroud?" Hogret did not answer with words, his silence more eloquent than speech.His two thumbs answered the question with gestures that spoke of approval. Hogret himself tested the abilities of the wizards, his experienced eye measuring their worth.After everything was settled like pieces on a game board, Guo Jiang thought there was something else he needed to take care of. He excused himself with the authority of one whose time was precious as gold."I am leaving this camp. I hope you all know your duties during the war, when chaos reigns and only skill determines survival! The first thing I want is a leader who can recite spells with the voice of command.""I will communicate with this leader. He will be the one

Fey also knows the truth, understanding the reality behind Milla's brave words. However, she tries to deceive herself by believing the words of her lover, Milla, clinging to hope like a drowning person clutches driftwood.Ivien left the spell-casting tent with long strides that spoke of barely controlled emotion. The sound of her boots echoed loudly as they hit the ground like funeral drums beating a solemn rhythm.Everyone could guess the torment that raged within her soul. Ivien was tormented by Milla's decision, love and fear warring in her heart like opposing armies.+++"The performance is over. Allow me to apply for the position, Mr. Enchanter." Milla bowed, humbling herself before Guo Jiang with the grace of one born to magic.Meanwhile the Enchanter remained silent, his dark eyes studying her with the intensity of one who could see souls. He witnessed it himself, the drama that had just unfolded like a tragedy written in starlight.Milla's lover did not approve of her idea, an
Five Enchanter Protective Spell Casters – Part I.
It was still early evening, the twilight air thick with the scent of woodsmoke and steel. Many soldiers were walking around the Vellenor Army camp, their armor clanking softly in the gathering dusk.Not only were those on guard duty patrolling and keeping watch, but there were also many soldiers spending their time relaxing under the moonlight that cast silver shadows across the encampment. Of course, they were carrying weapons and ready to act at a moment's notice, their hands never far from sword hilts and spear shafts.That night, in almost every part of the camp, there were bonfires to keep warm against the night wind that carried whispers of approaching war. Some soldiers were showing off their combat skills, their blades catching firelight like captured lightning.Meanwhile, at the spellcaster camp, the atmosphere was tense as a drawn bowstring. Ivien, the Fey Chief, appeared to burst into the tent just as the audition for the selection of five spellcasters conducted by the new
Assembling the Enchanter’s Guard.
Guo Jiang shrugged, his shoulders bearing the weight of impossible decisions. He sounded annoyed, frustration bleeding through his composed facade."I don't know. We'll see. Right now, you'd better follow me to see the army of wizards, they are spellcasters from various races. We also have to check the readiness of the healers!" The two walked through the night, passing dimly lit tents to meet the magic troops, the spellcasters whose power would tip the balance of war.The camp of spellcasters was quite large, sprawling like a small city within the greater encampment. There were many spellcasters of various races there, their diversity a testament to the alliance's strength.Humans, Elves, Fey, and magical creatures filled the space with their otherworldly presence. All of them greeted the Enchanter when he suddenly entered the tent, their respect palpable as morning mist.The Enchanter's gaze swept across the large tent, taking in every detail with the precision of a master tactician
Blessings, Betrayal, and the March.
At that very moment, as if awakened from a deep sleep, all the people who had been silent and mesmerized since the appearance of the Enchanter with the Water Dragon reached into their pockets and took out holy water that shimmered with blessed power. They sprinkled the water while reciting prayers for the safety of the Enchanter, each droplet carrying the weight of desperate hope.Lin and her friends, and others, were among the most enthusiastic in sprinkling the blessed water, also fervently reciting prayers for blessings that rose to heaven like sacred smoke. "Bless the Noble Enchanter of the Vellenor Kingdom!" "May the God Kyujun bless the Enchanter, so he may lead and win the upcoming war!" "Long live Vellenor! Long live Vellenor!" The chants rose like thunder across the morning sky.The previous silence and tension were now broken by cheers that shook the very foundations of the city. Thousands of water droplets splashed toward the Enchanter like a shower of liquid diamonds.Now
The Ice Dragon and the Royal Enchanter.
After the dragon's roar was heard, cold steam billowed from the direction of the deserted intersection like the breath of winter itself. It was freezing cold steam, ice vapor that could crystallize anything into eternal ice, each droplet sparkling with deadly beauty in the morning light."If that was the roar of a dragon, why wasn't it hot air or fire that was emitted? Why was it cold air that billowed out?" The people of Nip North City wondered, their voices trembling with both awe and fear. And they received their answer after ten breaths had passed, a time that felt as long as ten years to their racing hearts.The creature was extremely long, its serpentine form stretching beyond mortal comprehension. Its head was that of a dragon, as everyone knew from ancient legends carved in temple stones.Its whiskers hung down on both sides like silver ribbons touched by frost. Its scales, made of greenish-yellow steel, glistened in the sunlight like armor forged by the gods themselves.The d
