A Journey That Changed The World.

Battles were going on all over the continent, from the frozen wastes in the north to the jungles and deserts of the south.

When the girls heard about this they used Archer's domain to travel back to their homes thanks to the upgrades he made on the bracelets.

While Nala and Halime were escorted back to the college under orders from their families.

The only ones left back in the Avalon Empire were Ella, Sera, and Leira. They were staying in the imperial palace as Thorin was sent to the eastern border.

While Marion was sent north. The three girls were sitting around a table talking about Archer and where he went.

''I wonder when he will be back. I hope it isn't any longer.'' Sera commented as she drank some tea.

Ella quickly answered. ''I think he will be back soon. Somethings stopping him from returning.''

Sera and Leira agreed with her, they continued to talk until they were interrupted by the first Princess Anna Avalon.

She had her Father's blonde hair but their Mother's purple eyes. Anna got closer and spoke. ''Hello sister Leira. Who are your friends?''

When the cat girl looked at her older sister, they had never seen eye to eye. Anna was threatened by Leira's knowledge and magical prowess.

Sera was the one who answered bluntly. ''We are Archer Wyldhearts fiancee's. Who are you and what do you want?''

The blonde woman looked confused and then angry but shook her head. ''I am the first princess Anna Avalon.''

Sera nodded her head as she continued to drink but didn't say anything else as Leira interrupted. ''We were talking about the war.''

Anna's eyes shined as she sat down without asking anyone and started gossiping. ''Thorin has battled the Rankers in the Stormhaven army to a standstill while his wife has won her battles in the west with the help of the Lionheart King.''

All the girls looked at the blonde woman and waited for her to continue but she didn't so Sera snapped. ''Continue! Or leave now.''

The first princess looked at the redhead and wondered why she was angry. But Sera wasn't angry she was just horny and wanted Archer back.

So now she resorted to taking her frustration out on the blonde princess who was already annoying her just by her attitude and the way she looked at the three of them.

The girl possessed a certain charm, yet she paled in comparison to Leira, who seemed nothing short of perfection.

Leira, the princess with striking purple hair, not only radiated beauty but also exuded a warm and gracious personality.

Her genuine kindness and deep concern for those in her presence were truly admirable and made Archer's harem like the girl.

Anna ignored Sera and continued. ''In the south, we have lost all battles apart from two which were won from Sentinels Reach. General Sia has been trapped in the castle but has destroyed any army that comes close to the castle.''

She took an empty cup and filled it up with tea while the three girls looked at her like she was an idiot.

But Sera spoke before any of them could. ''If you're going to drink our tea, continue telling us everything you know or I'll burn off your eyebrows and give you a new stylish haircut.''

When the blonde heard the threat she moved away and grew wary of the girl who looked no older than fourteen but in reality was the same age as her.

Anna went on to tell the three that the northern part of the war had come to a standstill because the weather had gotten worse.

The emperor sent an army to help in the south but they were ambushed by a large group of bandits that was formed by the main four enemy kingdoms.

But even now more kingdoms have gotten involved and are conducting raids on the empire which was spreading the imperial army thin.

The army could defend the cities and towns but the villages were left to the invaders, who destroyed them while butchering or enslaving the people.

Most Avalonian villagers were evacuated to the bigger towns and cities which was putting a strain on food.

Two weeks later the war was going bad for the empire and their allies when a group of island nations declared war on them.

They were known as the Iron Helm and Sunfire Kingdoms. They were from a large island that was northeast of the empire.

Their armies overran the northern Duchy within weeks, they were only stopped at the Southern Gate Mountains where they were annihilated with ease.

In the west, the Goldenvale Kingdom was joined by the Aetheria Kingdom who began fighting Duke Leonard Ashguard's forces.

But the Duke's preparations in the last ten years have paid off and his forts, castles, and walls managed to stop the invaders.

Leonard defeated the Aetheria army and managed to cause enough trouble so Goldenvale ceased their attack momentarily.

After the last battle, he sent a message to the emperor requesting reinforcements as soon as possible.

All Duchies were under pressure due to the sheer amount of enemies that declared war on them.

The Oakheart kingdom sent its armies to the empire's northern border to help guard against any enemy armies.

But the wood elves had their own problems as a band of raiders had infected their massive forest.

They also sent one thousand healers to Starfall City to help any injured soldiers that flowed into the capital every day.

During all this, the College of Magic was still teaching classes. But they limited their students to the college grounds and that's all. 

The mercenaries they hired to guard the college to the best of their abilities and the Witchhunters Ophelia's Mother sent helped out and patrolled the central Duchy eliminating any bandits they found.

Ella, Sera, and Leira were eating out in the city as the panic had now died down. The empire has conscripted thousands of citizens into it's armies.

There was a massive training field outside the city and new recruits appeared every day. As Ella and Sera walked out of the restaurant, Leira got called by someone.

She ran over to a group of girls and started chatting as two guards approached the two girls who were waiting for Leira.

One of the guards started to speak to Ella as they stopped in front of the pair. ''Excuse me, young lady. Do you know healing magic?''

Ella looked at the guard and nodded as she answered. ''Yes, I do. Why?''

The second man smiled as he started talking. ''We are recruiting both of you girls into the medical core. Come now we need to go to the southern gate.''

When the man finished speaking he went to grab Ella's wrist but soon felt something slicing through his arm.

The first guard looked down and saw a stump which made him panic. He started screaming catching everyone's attention.

Leira saw this and rushed over while speaking. ''Girls, what happened?''

Ella looked at the cat girl. ''He tried to drag us off to the medical core, so Sera dealt with him.''

The dragon girl walked over to the other human soldier and used her tail to slap him across the face.

Her sudden attack sent the man crashing to the ground before she spoke. ''Don't you ever try to touch us again. pathetic humans.''

When Leira saw this she sighed before talking. ''They were planning something underhanded. The empire doesn't recruit for the medical core in times of war.''

After Leira spoke Ella pulled out her bow and ended the two humans before they could pray on anyone else.

Once they were done with that business and explained it to the guards who appeared in the area just after the half-elf killed them.

The three girls went and bought some chocolate before heading back to the palace. As they were walking they spotted figures leaping down from windows.

They were surrounded which shocked them. Sera quickly changed into her dragon form and lunched at the closest assassin.

When Sera got close she smelt the same smell as the Ratlings but these things were much stronger.

Leira started casting Lightning spells as Ella pulled out her bow and started shooting mana arrows made from Earth magic.

The arrows hit some of the Ratling assassins but even more missed, but soon new spells slammed into them as Leira's bodyguards appeared.

They started battling the creatures as the three girls pulled back. When they were further away even more soldiers appeared.

The Avalonians swarmed over the assassins and butchered them but more kept coming. So the soldiers formed a protective barrier around Leira, Ella, and Sera.

When the three girls were in the middle the commander called out to them. ''Princess. We will escort you to the elevator, the creatures have invaded the city.''

They nodded and started walking as the guard took out many Ratlings but the soldiers were dropping as well.

At first, there was a little over two hundred. By the time they reached the main street, they lost twenty men.

When they were travelling down the road the commander recruited all the guards he could see and ordered them to protect the princess.

The men agreed and pushed through to the elevator but soon were stopped when two warlocks stepped out.

They fired some toxic-looking liquid that splashed on a group of men and started to burn. It caused them to let out blood-curdling screams before they died.
