Oathbound: Blades of Aetherion

Ariesx
In the shattered realm of Aetherion, the empire of Zarephis lies in ruins, its throne empty, its banners torn, and its gods silent. From the ashes of a long war, four warriors emerge as the last living symbols of the empire’s might. Veyren, the strategist of the Emerald Codex. Nyavell, the shadowborn princess with blood on her blade. Ruzakai, the red storm raised in chains. Caelith, the silent sentinel of the north. Together, they carry a relic torn from the heart of a demon dragon, a jewel, pulsing with dormant power, sealed within a warded ark. It is not treasure. It is not victory. It is a warning. Worn by battle and hunted by silence, the four descend the mountain path toward what remains of home. But peace does not greet them. Instead, a figure waits on the road a cloaked stranger with a single glowing eye and a presence that stops the wind. As the jewel stirs in response, the warriors realize the war is not over. The fifth has come. And whatever he is… he is not of this world. The road to the throne begins with their return. But only five shall stand at its end.

Ascending Pride

What happens when a dragon gets sacrificed by his mate for his blessings? Blame the bird. What happens when a fish wants to rule the skies? Drag the bird down. What happens when a fox wants revenge? Seek out the bird. What happens when humans are lied to for generations? Coarse the bird. What does any of that have to do with the bird who most have never even met? How do they subdue a being that not even beast gods were able to defeat? How do they force a bird to stop flying? How do they kill a being... that cannot be killed? ... They break his heart... over, and over, and over. It's been over a thousand years since the beast god sealed itself away to heal from it's injuries. 700 years since the dragon was sacrificed. 600 years since a feathered snake started accepting human "wives". Almost 500 years since his heart was shattered. 300 years since history was rewritten. 200 years since the fish sent out a call. 50 years since the fox was tricked. 20 years since he gave his broken heart to a young warrior. 10 years since he was once again betrayed. 2 years since the bird found himself in a new body with only a fraction of his memories. Now, the most precious piece of his heart must either return, or bond with another. Now, the blessings from the sacrificed dragon have become a curse. Now, a young warrior has become leader of her people. Now, three nations are on the verge of extinction. Now, a snake wants his covenant honored. Now, a bird shakes his head as watches with a sigh. So few will live, while so many will die.
