The Stones of Magic
​​ The Quest for the Stones of Magic will take one young boy and will either turn him into the man he was meant to be or destroy him completely. The loss of everything that he has, everything that he has ever known, has forced Mach Derune into making a decision that he would never have dreamed he would need to make. Does he search for the last member of his family in the hopes that she is still alive? Or, does he follow a group that may lead him to the one responsible for the destruction of his home? Either choice he makes will take him down the road of revenge, but the path he takes will show him far more about himself than he ever thought possible. The strength and courage of his newly found friends gives Mach an insight to himself that was never there before. Their willingness to allow him to forge his own path leads him down a road of discovery that will show him just how strong he is and how true the lessons of his late father were. The Stones of Magic have resurfaced after three hundred years and two forces will collide in order to obtain them. The Power they wield was enough that the Great Mages of Old were afraid to use them in order to prevent the genocide of their own race. Will Mach find himself a pawn of the Power of the Stones, or will he and the others find a way to control it.
Renewal of Royal Lines
Revenge burns hot in the heart of Mach Derune as the losses of all that has happened fills him with rage. For Mach, only the death of the one responsible for that loss will ease the pain within. Mach must rejoin the group he had left behind to have any hope of tracking down the King of Sirunre. But the events that are unfolding will bring him closer to his family’s heritage than he had ever thought possible. Time is of the essence and information is needed to complete the quests that have been started. However, the lack of information is disheartening. Any leader knows that it is information that is key to winning a war. But for Mach and his crew, information is a commodity that they do not have. Their search for the legendary Stones of Magic and the hunt for King Rubious must be placed on hold as the group searches for a way of tracking down the Stones. Whispers that the great Mage race may have survived the years following the Damnation have been heard for decades. One village may yet thrive and it is with that hope that Mach heads back to the islands of the Four Guardians to seek out the mystic city, praying that they may finally find what they need. However, the royal bloodline is returning to Juiint after three hundred years. The renewal of the royal lines is at hand alongside the coming of Mach and his group. A new king will be sworn in as the rarely seen Festival of Life comes to Juiint. The time has come for the Mages to begin forging a new future for themselves. Can Mach and his group aid the new Mage king and the men and women who wield the Power of Magic in rising from the ashes of the past?
Allies of the Past
The location of the Stones of Magic has been found and the search continues. As does the personal quest that Mach has sworn he would complete. As important as the Stones of Magic are, the need to stop King Rubious is just as great. The measly forces that Mach has at his command are limited and he and his men know they stand no chance against the mighty army that Rubious commands. Allies are needed in order to survive. Long before the Damnation of the Mages, there had been an alliance with a group of seafaring people that had supported the Mages in numerous ways before the Great Wars. Mach has decided that it is vital to seek out these allusive people in the hopes of renewing that alliance. If the people within the Empire Seas are to survive Rubious, it is imperative that every race stand their ground. That belief is only strengthened as the group Mach had begun his quest with splits into three. A new Power comes to Rubious’ command and the race for the Stones only becomes more important as the welfare of the Empire Seas is put on the path of destruction. Mach's own strengths and abilities will be put to the test as Rubious’s Power grows.
Shadows of Ruins Past
Time is moving faster than ever for Mach and his group and it is quickly running out. Armies have assembled and are on the march into the eastern lands of the Sedan Kingdom. The time to attack could never have been better. The Hunt for the Stones of Magic will be put on hold as the chance of ending a war before it starts comes to unfold. Rubious’ Power seems to be growing with every passing day and with it his hunger to obtain more. A new dark entity has come to Rubious’ side and it is unclear who or what this new comer is. But one thing is for certain it is something more dangerous than the King of Sirunre. Hints that Rubious is after an ancient text that predates the Rise of Creation and the Goddess Kriasta herself are whispered among the enemy ranks and it is with horror that the Mach and his group find that the Book of Black may be far more dangerous than all the Stones of Magic put together. And easier to find. The race is on to see who will reach the Book in the ruins of a fallen Empire first and who will weather out the storm that is interfering with their march. Whispers of the past have arisen to those who are listening. Will Mach and his group hear the words on the winds or will those words fall to Rubious?
Rebirth of the Dragon Phoenix
Rubious has disappeared and with it Mach's chance at avenging all that he has lost. For now, he must put aside his vengeance and continue the search for the Stones of Magic. It is a long trek from the southern lands of Sedan to the northern crater that had once been another mighty Empire. He and his group must prepare to stand against anyone and any creature that stands in their way until they reach their ultimate goal. Dragons Valley. Believed to be the home of the last of the Dragon Race, they are the keepers of one of the Stones of Magic and it is assured that there will be a price to pay in order to obtain the Stone. What worldly possessions could they possibly bring a race that legend says the Goddess Kriasta made first when she remade the world? The journey continues to find the Stones, the only question is will it still be worth it or will they find themselves facing far more than what the Power of the Stones can handle?
Dawn of the New Empires
Things have changed greatly in the months since the attack on Mach's home and in ways that some have been praying would come for decades. The barriers of kingdoms are wearing thin as the alliance against Rubious grows stronger. A new Empire will rise with the fall of kingdoms and the friendships that will arise will last for ages to come. With the rise of a new Empire a new army will come to meet it on the field of battle. Mach must defend people he had once thought of as enemies as a leader among their ranks . The battle will change a great many things and Mach can only hope that it is for the better. The time for the final confrontation with Rubious is coming closer with every day that passes. The need to retrieve the last of the Stones of Magic has never been greater. And the hope that the end to the Damnation is coming has never been stronger.
A Time for Revenge
The time has finally come. The kingdoms of the Empire Seas have joined with Mach and the Mages that follow under him and the end of the old laws is coming to a close. For the people that live within the lands of the old Five Empires, a new era is about to begin. But for Mach, it is the end of the quest he promised he would complete. The hopes of all the races are being put into this one moment in time and they rest on the shoulders of one young man, a young man who has sworn he would protect those that reside in the Empire Seas. One way or another, the quests of many individuals, and entire races, will end with the setting of the suns. The rise of a new era is guaranteed, but will it be an era of Peace or Power? The battlefield is set, the armies are on the march and Kings will lead their followers into a battle that will give rise to the beginning of a new world. So long as they survive.
