The Second Coalition War (80-98 EH) was fought 265 years after the conclusion of the First Coalition War.

Due to the the unification of Upper Empyrea into the Umbracresti-Estrinite-Glacian-Narcissian Archregion (UEGNA) under Archcountess-Khatun Vega Calliope Ego by marriage, inheritance and alliances, the other regions dissolved UEGNA seats on CEDA and formed the Cerulean-Vorantine-Aqulio-Pheasantine Union (CVAPU) in response.

After Vega abdicated in 78 EH, her twenty year son is crowned Archcount-Khagan Urlic IV & I Ego-Estrin-Romanakov of Umbracrest, Estrin, Glacier and Narciss. Urlic is more aggressive than his mother and the other regions declare war on the Archregion....

The Grand Army requires some understanding for this book to make any sense to you (the Grand Fleet is simply 308 Airships / Aeronautical Craft divided into 7 Fleets of 44.)

■ Combatant Command = 10 Million troops under the Marshal of the Grand Army.□ Army Group = 2.5 Million troops under a Grand-General.● Field Army = 625,000 troops under a Lieutenant General.○ Corps = 156,250 troops under a Grand Warlord.▪︎ Division = 31,250 troops under a Warlord.• Brigade = 6,250 troops under a War Brigadier.° Company = 1,250 troops under a Captain.Platoon = 125 troops under an Ego Lieutenant.Troop = 25 troops under a Lord Sergeant-Major or Colour Sergeant.Squad = 5 Troops under a Lance Corporal.

With that out of the way, you can expect: politics, battles, strategy, death, marriage, destruction and many other things.

A little bit of Geography now:

UEGNA Regions:

The West - Umbracresti Commisarate

The Northwest (Archipelago) - Estrin Dominion

About the novel:

The warring states of the world are warming around the new fires of a calamitous war, freed from half a decade in shackles of so-called peace. The seven great lands and seas of humanity are all but controlled by one element. Eifer. They give birth to the wrath of our species and is a breeder of sin. With the ever growing threat of the prosperous Confederacy looming over the continent, the ailing alliance of Aelon lies on an endless path of futile resistance in the face of the vastest invasion since the Second Calamity. Of the billions who would suffer for it, Arminius Reichner, a seemingly commoner schoolboy, is trapped in the outbreak of war. There is but one exit. Into the fields where no man would dare tread if they knew the horrors that would befall them. Every sane person had dreamt of the praise and fame that they could earn from the people of their kingdoms through war, but none truly understood how such a childish dream has shattered even the most resolute of minds. Victory has become a forgotten word in a cruel world once called paradise. Hell sits not so far.

"Father, could you tell me the story again?"

"I shall, but first, I have a question."

"Yes?"

"Have you ever truly believed in the truth of these stories?"

"Well, Father, I have doubted it in the past. However the more you tell me these stories and the more detailed they get overtime, the more they become impossible to doubt."

"Good. As a man telling a story one believes is shrouded in lies becomes a myth." The Father continued, "However, in my case, I wish for you to keep it as a myth, and nothing more. Instead of a lie shrouded in lies, make a lie shrouded in truth."

"To begin, remember this was how I met your mother."

As dark forces emerge from the cracks of a fragile peace, the next generation of mages must rise to confront an adversary unlike any before. Will they uphold the legacy of their predecessors, or will the weight of history crush them? The fate of five universes rests in their hands, and their journey will test not only their power but the very essence of who they are.PS: If you haven't read previous series of The Land of Spade, it's totally fine! You don't have to be caught up and can read this as a totally new story, because that's what it is!

DISCLAIMER: Dark themes - Violence - Sex - Abuse - Death

The capital city of this dark time, Ōkoku, was a town like others where the people lived their daily lives, but this was the night that everything would change.

Out at sea, a wooden fishing vessel bobbed gently under the moonlight. The fishermen aboard worked tirelessly, their calloused hands hauling in nets laden with the night's catch. Laughter and idle chatter filled the air, oblivious to the unnatural stillness that had settled over the sea—the dreadful calm before the storm.

On the deck, an old fisherman squinted, concern written over his weathered face as he scrutinized the distant shape above the sea. It appeared to be a massive wave at first, churning the sea ominously. But as it surged closer, his heart skipped a beat.

This was no wave.

Men scrambled across the deck to arm themselves, reaching for harpoons, nets, and anything that might serve as a weapon. The creature leading the tide charged lightning in its mouth while running across the water as if it were on land, firing the bolt out and setting the ship ablaze and leaping over the burning vessel and rushing into Ōkoku.

Destruction engulfed the city as the demons descended. Above, Winged abominations screeched, raining down torrents of flames that reduced buildings to ashes and filled the air with the stench of charred flesh.  Below, grotesque monsters rampaged unhindered, consuming the fleeing humans and leaving nothing but devastation in their wake.

Amidst the chaos, the commander of the demons made himself known.

"Such beautiful suffering, I can't believe it has finally come, to think I almost missed the end of the world. Such pure pure ecstasy." The commander's wings spread as he motioned for all the demons under his command to attack.

"The demons have shown themselves to the world, now we have no reason to hide ourselves. Kill as many as you can without worry of being spotted." A man's voice echoed through the heads of many.

A man stood on a roof with his rifle aimed at the lion-like beast that destroyed and killed those people at the harbor. He lined up his shot and took fire, sending the beast flying and crashing down dead.

A comrade of his wielded her Naginata to cut the legs off of one of the many giant demons before spinning around and slashing its head clean off.

Another warrior tossed his chain onto the wing of a flying demon, sinking the blade in. Using the momentum of the demon's flight, he launched himself into the air, slicing its back open to kill it in a single strike. It came down with a screech, crashing to the ground as the man landed on it.

These were the rays of hope that these citizens needed: allies who were just as powerful, if not more powerful, than the demons. So much so they could be considered demons themselves, but not just any demons.

These were The Fiends, Demons who kill Demons!

They came in full force following the orders from their capital, known as the Divine Mountain. They all stood together strong and with wills unbendable and emotions incorruptible, and with them came their captain. A warrior who graduated to the top of the Divine Mountain in mere weeks, a record unheard of by any Fiends known to record. Known as "The Tyrant Of The Battlefield," they called him a Warlord and One Of The Divine Mount's Greatest Fiends.

This is a series in the Counter-Terrorism universe set a few months before the events of Task Force 105.

But as Slyviadelves deeper into the mysteries of the other saintesses, she begins to uncover truths about her own awakening. Was her revival truly an accident, or was it fate? And what sacrifices will she have to make to save Arcadia—and her own heart—from the shadows threatening to consume them all?

Love God and your neighbor, Love hard with your favor, The truth is precious, The truth got a message, I walk in the power of peace, They walk in the power of the beast, They fear the energy, I don't fear the enemy, The test is to make you the best.

Calculate your steps, Calculate your reps, Don't be where your enemy is seated, Don't be where your energy ain't needed, Wrong place wrong time, Strong grace strong time, Yes we will succeed, Be still the seed, No pill for deceit, Can't blame me or flame me.

I'm not on the sixth power, Heart free watch how I shift the power, Love is foreign, The doves is mourning, God takes care of me even when they pretend like they there for me, Feel the animosity, This is real like varsity, You can't hide, Jesus is my guide.

Higher energy, I got the fire for the enemy, In the pulpit is the heresy. The culprit is the pharisee, You got the audacity to play, They can't part the sea cause they don't pray, To our King who is God, True wings even when it's hard.

My heart is in service to God, When it start they get nervous cause it's hard, Spiritual warfare going wild, Biblical warfare going dialed, Answer the phone, They try to censor the stone, Wisdom over fame, The system like the game, Know your light and right.

Strong pressure, Stay fresher, They thought I would crumble, In the drought I didn't fumble. Remain humble, The rain couldn't make me stumble, Love is the x factor, It ain't made up no actor, It's already explained, Are you ready for the next rain.

My heart got to renovate cause in the dark they bending weight, Elevate your soul, Generate your soul, By God's power, It's not hard to get devoured, It's odd to not see the world is sour, Stay present in love, Pray the blessing of the dove.

I know what's hidden in the temple, I glow cause of what's written ain't for example, This is the real, Her kiss is the deal, Babylon seducing minds, Singing songs reducing minds, This is spiritual warfare, It's beneficial the more you bear.

This is the last go around, They try to blitz cause I'm not who you want to play around, Ain't nothing being rebuilt, They do what do thou wilt, Can't succumb to the pressure, My soul ain't dumb when it comes to the measure, The gold ain't numb all treasure.

Not trying to fake who I am, They shocked I ain't dying for their mistake of who I am, Folks seen my light, The yokes been in the night, Break the chains, The earth quakes in the rain, For the sake my life won't be in vain, No flowers and cake for my pain.

If you wake up with evil your mind, Then why you trying to say it's illegal to be kind, I hope you pray your ego don't make you blind, God should be your first thought, The devil should be your worst thought, Be holy cause God is your only.

I triumphed over the curses, I high jumped over with the verses, Wake up from this illusion, Take up your cross in this confusion, Second coming, They begging to summon, They reckon the drumming, This is the last session but this ain't the last blessing.

My energy warn folks, My enemy yarn folks, How you claim love and hate at the same time, Now they claim the dove and fate for game time, God is justice, The fraud lack substance, Turn from your sins, Learn from your sins, Point of peace, Can't join the beast.

Fast so you can erase the past, The world is cast so it won't last, Raise your vibration, Grace is my hydration, Folks plotting, The yoke's rotten, Don't taste the fruit, Don't waste the truth, We don't play no tournament, The glow is permanent.

Mental ranking wisdom, Central banking system, Love is the math, Doves know the path, I ain't going for that nonsense, I'm glowing cause of my conscience, Deceivers brought us into the night, Jesus brought us into the light, Earth is for God by the heart.

Since you carry the light, They rinse in the berry of the night, World is shook cause you know what's in the Book, The verses break the curses, Stay in the holy spirit. Try to play me cause they fear it, Jesus is in God's will, Increase our love to heal.

Fix your heart finance, Don't mix the rock of violence, New kix for the walk of silence, Folks don't get that, So they try to bet that, No time for a bracket, Gold lime for the packet, They mad cause you're really in Jesus, Don't be bad in the seasons.

My heart's symphony is telling me win for me, I don't you want to sin for me, They taunt you cause you're a kin to the story, Jesus died and rose, We cried and chose, To walk with God forever, Truth unlocks faith when it's hard morever.

Foks changing their tune from auto to lotto, My tune is the motto, Only God Knows, Lonely when the heart grows, Loved ones turned to foes, Dove'd suns burned the woes, They want to vex you cause they can't next you, When's the last time they text you.

Please don't sleep on the powers that be, Please don't sleep on the hours that be, Heart of truth the Bible hit different, They start to soothe the idol to get in shifting, People pretending, The evil they defending, The light got them shook, Lamb's Book.

I got the main ingredient, I'm at the spot cause I abstain from the expedient, The powers that be shook when you walk in Christ  The flowers ain't a crook in the price, Daffodils and Roses, Laugh and heal with Osmosis.

Be legit, Be enriched. Be a glitch, We don't switch, My heart ain't stitched, Covered in Jesus name, Love her in Jesus name, It's up to you to live right, It's up to you to give light, To the nations, Truth is ancient, The Lord rebuke you satan.

They trying to interfere so you can enter fear, Just understand the end is near, Repent in the holy spirit clear, They only scared cause they don't know the year, You can act tough but God had enough, Every heartbeat is real no bluff.

Specifically I'm biblically spiritually, Typically I'm vividly dimensionally, State of emergency, Your faith is currency, The earth belongs to God, The rebirth is the songs of the heart, The light disrupts the program, The night corrupts the soul lamb.

I adjust on the fly, I suggest you don't lie, Cover all your corners, They are lovers of mourners, Have a contrite heart, Better act right it's only the start, I ain't scared to say Jesus, God spared me from the prey of deceivers.

Praying to The Most High King who is God, They playing with the ghost of the one eye thing that is the pod, Look with your heart, Read the Book for your heart, Talking about the verses of biblical codes, They walking in doubt of spiritual modes.

If your ministry is race based then you might be called a worker of iniquity, If the industry was grace based then the light would be a worker of divinity, All is welcome to receive salvation, Wake up call for all nations, Jesus saves, Don't fear the grave.

Where I'm from I don't love sin, Don't be scared of the drum when the doves sing, You got to get rid of your ego, Still say Jesus even when they try to make it illegal, I'm not here to debate, I'm not here for the hate, Christ the Rock is my faith.

Sinners crave the grave, Winners is saved from the grave, Meaning death can't hold them, They scheming cause they was told the gem, Keep your heart purely love, Peep your heart if it's surely the dove, Rebirth to be in peace, Free earth in peace.

Contrite and meek, Act right it's you they seek, We not on dreaming time, We not on demon time, Take a deep breath, They fake cause they keep death, Life is your birth right, Your wife should be your earth light, There will be a revolution in execution.

The trail has been set, The grail has been set, We must live according to God's standards, We must give supporting the heart's manner, God is King, Love is everything, My heart opened to peace, The dark hoping for the beast, Whoever you are. Know you a star.

Heavenly Father, I pray I don't bother, May I have a cup of that holy water, Thank You for Your love, By the riverbanks with Your dove, The women by the well, I know they looming cause I won't sell, I know it's booming cause the truth I tell.

I speak to everybody even if I don't speak for everybody, They want to see you at every party, I'm not in that realm, I unlocked the heart of the lamb, No matter your race you can be saved by grace, God doesn't want you to perish, Get it by the dozen of fish.

See through the matrix with the eyes of love, Free through the ancients with the wise of the dove, Fight through the fear, Light truth clear. The night is near, Live right in every year, The mistake of sin, They kissed the cake to win, I ain't fake within.

I done seen God came through, I done see life is hard what it do, Rainbow is a covenant the sky is blue, I'm like an angel suffering cause my heart won't die in the truth, Just know I walk in perfect peace, Just know I won't worship the beast.

Every level is repentance, Cause the devil is relentless, They tremble at the sentence, It ain't got to be an example to be in the mentions, All that ramble can't take you to ascension, Feel like they gamble with the inventions, Free sample for dimensions.

You reap what you sow, Pray you keep your soul, Humble your heart, Don't fumble your heart, Trust in God. We're the dust of God, Need that boost, Duck duck goose, Don't push your luck with the truce, The name of Jesus. I don't play games with deceivers.

We attract peace and prosperity, They distract with the beast and austerity, If you playing with the charade, Then I know you be throwing shade, Life is not the arcade, Light of Christ can't let my heart fade, Night of rights won't let my heart wade.

In the Book of Revelation, Got them shook cause of my elevation, It's better you know, The weather brings in a new soul, You can't bathe in the grave. They fear you when you're saved, Yes you must be pure and endure, Bless the dust to cure the impure.

We must be unstained and blameless, They trust the untrained and shameless, Don't let the crown tilt, I won't let myself do what thou wilt, Fearfully and wonderfully made is how I was built, They against me tooth for tooth, We in the sense of truth for truth.

I been real with God since the start, That's why God healed my heart. Still some kinks, But no more links, They trying to throwing the kitchen sink, The world is dizzy, The Word is busy, Service of the worship, The biblical verses uproots spiritual curses.

Look at what's taking place, They shook at the awakened grace, Bills of Mary got them stocking up, Military coup is locking up, Now they entering the stage do it or get punished, To God I'm surrendering to gauge the new tip of the nourished.

I'm from the living heart, I'm from the giving heart, In the Book of Psalms, Within they shook cause I keep calm. They want me agitated and vexed. They want me aggravated and hexed, Still got righteous indignation, They still got  crisis by inclination.

The gifts bestowed upon you is beautiful, The shift of the free soul is a miracle Vibration is on the next, Hydration is not for the flex, Give thanks, Living by the riverbanks, The natural atmosphere is love, The actual last of fear is known by the dove.

What I may say is to repent, I got to pray to invent, Instruments of peace, They are insolent cause of the beast, We're all in a moment of reflection, There is a component to the intentions, Your temple belongs to God, The example is biblically strong in God.

Your mindset and the biblical minds is not the same, The vine net is to bring in the spiritual minds cause it ain't a game, We need all believers of Jesus on one accord, Don't plead with deceivers cause I know all they want is war, Without God we're all poor.

State of affairs, They hate cause I care, Live great and there will be stares, The crate of gold is the market shares, They did a lot of damage, But God didn't vanish, Took me under love's wings, The Book thunders when the doves sings.

Many different backgrounds have mapped into the Bible, Many gifted who act sound have tapped into the Bible, I say that cause there's the right hand and left hand, I pray that the stars light the plans when in the theft ban, God is King, Doves always sing.

I really shouldn't be here, I freely couldn't when I had fear, Now God is the only one I dread, Now God is the only one I ask for bread, We must leave this flesh one day, They grieve the rest everyday, Believe in the test for the berry clay.

Success is being holy in Christ, They obsessed in fleeing of the only price, Will you repent or be planted in cement, This world is temporary, The Word is legendary, Biblical commandments, Ain't no spiritual amendments, Be light or get lost in the night.

They be trying to make the matrix unglitchable, They be lying cause grace is unwishable, Whoever you are God loves you, The river of the heart dubs you, The victory is in Jesus, The mystery is in Jesus, The history is in Jesus, The symmetry is in Jesus.

A family of three Father(Logan), daughter(Vivian), and son (Alexander) moved away from the rest of their family to live at Logan's old family home, however their change to life brought about even more sudden changes.
