Storm Queen New Chapter Teaser · 3:19pm Apr 1st, 2019
Well folks, we're at 181 likes, I'm still searching for a person to do coverart, and I've got the general idea for the next fan voted chapter. So, since this particular chapter is going to take me a while, (and has been. Seriously, been working on it for at least most of the week) I decided, why not give you lovely readers a sneak peek?
"My Emperor, I bring..." The bull gulped, shaking visibly as he knelt before his ruler.
Steel Axe growled. "Spit it out already," he ordered.
The bull gulped once more, then produced a small, round, metal ball from his coat pocket. He held it out to the Emperor, and bowed his head lower. "...a message from the Queen of Storms."
Immediately a vein bulged out on Steel Axe's forehead, the bull gritting his teeth and gripping the arms of his throne hard enough that one would swear they heard the cracking of stone. "So, the whore lives..." He took a deep, shuddering breath, then gestured for the messenger to continue. "Continue."
A third gulp from the messenger. "Y-Yes, sire," he replied, before reluctantly pressing the button on the top of the ball. Immediately, a hologram of Lucette appeared, smiling that same smile she always wore.
"Hello there, Emperor Steel Axe. As you no doubt can tell, I live," Her smile grew. "And I killed your hired swords myself." She polished her nails on the side of her armor. "Barely worth the trouble. Complete waste of money, if you ask me." She looked back to the Emperor, who had gained five new bulging veins on his head as he listened. The guards and all present in the throne room tensed, giving their Emperor wary looks. "In light of your attempt at assassination, I am willing to talk this through in the emergency Council meeting this week. However," Steel Axe swore he saw a glint from her golden eyes behind her signature mask, despite the fact the hologram was one solid color. "I wanted to leave you with a little present. Enjoy~." With a giggle and dainty wave, she disappeared, and a tune began to play.
That day, Steel Axe was labeled the Crimson Emperor, for he killed all in the room in his rage.
I know, I know, I went a bit further than just spies, skipping straight ahead to assassination and all, but trust me, it'll make more sense when you read the full thing. Right now, this little tidbit is all you'll be getting. For now.
Until the next chapter, my dearest readers~
-Timeless Celestial
Very interesting peek. And not a bad song choice.
The song was great and the setup made it perfect! I wouldn’t be surprised if Lucette’s plan to get rid of him is to keep pissing him off until he finally either dies of high blood pressure, an aneurism, or gets himself deposed for being a mad king.
