A being the likes of which you have never seen before has appeared, and is sleeping. Let's wake it up!

???: Bwahahahahaha! Well this is sure ta be interestin' lads!

ah, no great rune then. He's... not going to like that. Payment for services rendered i suppose.

So, is this rated Mature for sex?

From how Maker made it sound, I can see two things happening:

1) They’re holding onto it

2) Either Radahn or Leonard has it.

We at least know for a fact that Radahn’s Great Rune came with them. So I think it’s safe to say that it’s here.

Oh, I can safely say that his Great Rune does come into play. But it has a very...particular role.

11592606
Not exactly. While sex will be hinted at and very heavily implied to have happened or is going to happen, I won't be writing any full-on sex scenes.

The M rating is more for everything else, really. Violence, slavery - which is connected to the 'specism' that will take place in this story. And several other subjects that can be equally as harsh. I'm playing it safe, you could say. But definitely no 'clop' scenes.

We shall see!

A great chapter, Pomp, really well written!
Plus, I see that you used the song :)

Also, a nerd moment

“Ready.”

“Aim.”

“Fi-!”

Archers used “Ready-Nock-Mark-Draw-Loose” commands. “Fire” wasn’t used until the gunpowder and flintlock weapons became rather common on the battlefields.
End of the nerd moment.

Honestly this seems pretty good can't wait for the next one

Where is his steed Leonard? I did not see him mentions to have appeared.

Oh, snap! Thank you for that! I can edit that in easily, and will definitely keep it in mind going forward.

Thank you very much!

Leonard is the one who is set down in front of Mulan.

Radahn's in the desert of Saddle Arabia.

Thank you

A very emotionally charged chapter.
Though, I must say, I kept getting taken out of the moment as it kept switching between present and past tense so frequently.

That's fair. Thank you for bringing that up!

When I originally posted this chapter, I read it over again and did think it was switching between the past and present a little too frequently. But rather than trust that instinct, I low-key brushed it off and thought, "It'll be fine, I'm sure."

I should've listened.

Lessons learned for the future! And speaking of, the next chapter will be up very soon.

I love the set up for this, the aftermath of the bloom was cutscene worthy.
