A couple of years ago, there's this mobile game called war of crown. Its game-play is turn over strategy game like vandal hearts or final fantasy tactics. It was fun, the graphics were very good, the character progressions were pretty generous and interesting, the lore was really good. I really like the game.
But unfortunately they had to discontinued the game. I wonder why, because it doesn't seem to be falling behind for me.
Anyway, they regularly make events for in game currency prizes. One of them is making your own art based on the game. So it has been about 2 or more years now if I'm not mistaken... this was my submission:
---------------------------------------------
It was a sunny day deep in the woods. Makenia
is bustling with crowds from all over the region, taking advantage of the sunny
weather.
The town of Makenia appears colorful from up
above, the tents of street vendors, ocean vale's famous fruits and fishes,
Ivanl'sk's iconic garments, fairy dusts from the fairy realm, and various types
of dungs from different beast species painted the white stones of Makenia like
a painting on a canvas.
Despite all the beauty, All eyes seemed to be
fixated to a direction...
"Father look!" shout the
blacksmith's son, "That enormous axe must be all steel, and he carried it
like a piece of stick". "Yes son, and those armor, they're made out
of crystals, they are very strong but very heavy as well".
Not only the blacksmith family were
interested, the guardians took an even closer eye at him. What is he doing
carrying that massive axe in the middle of the town? Call the others, call the
others now!
That mysterious person ran into the town
center, in the middle of the town hall there is a fountain, He stepped into the
middle of it and shout out loud, "I'm Azlar the Unyielding Champion,
Makenians hear me out!"
Then he reached a pouch from his belt,
"There are 100 garnets in this pouch,
whoever can beat me in a fight, I will give this away"
The crowd turned clattery. Some people at the
back seemed trying to take a closer look at him.
He's a human lion, with golden hair and sharp
feline teeth. Standing as tall as the Minoses. He spell tremble to all the
onlookers.
Then all of a sudden; three big guardians came
in front of him. This is not allowed, you're creating a ruckus, throw your axe
to the ground and come with us! Said one of them.
Azlar: I came here to fight and it seemed my
wish soon will come true...
Soldier: You dare to resist arrest against the
guardians of Makenia?
Azlar: Hmm, Do I dare? Hahahaha, the question
is guardians of Makenia, do you dare to fight me?
The guardian's face turned ugly, then he took
out his whip and charged forward with his friends.
Azlar smiled and held his axe with his left
hand, and after taking a short breath, he swings his axe forward and hit all of
their hands at once, their weapons flew, one of them almost hit an old man.
The crowd realized they are standing too close
and they move 10 steps back.
Azlar: "Hmmm, missed the head"
The guardians' faces turned pale, but they
took their weapons again...
This time Azlar Roared, made a loud noise
which brought all of the Guardians tremble with fear, the fear was so intense
they dropped their weapons again.
Guardian 1: "Lets report this to Aruru,
she will know what to do"
Guardian 2: "Yes, we need to move quickly
we don't know what this guy is really up to"
Guardian 3: Ran away...
And so they all ran...
Azlar: "Hahaha, too easy, Is there anyone
else wish to fight me?!
"So, 100 Garnets... isn't that too much
for a rascal like you to carry around?"
Azlar: "Hmmm?"
Azlar looked at the direction of the voice,
the sight seemed to took him by surprise...

Thanks in advance for
reading this... here we go!
(Second submission)
Azlar’s face turned
grim, in front of him a really huge bear with giant claws, covered with crystal
gears heavier then his. He stepped back a step and paused for a bit.
Azlar: “So, is this
an acceptance to my challenge?”
The bear noticed
Azlar’s respect and replied shortly “Yes”
Azlar: “Your name?”
The bear put a
strange look on his face... then he said “Alexandro”
The crowd turned
clattery again
Azlar took a step
forward with his left foot, both of his hands were holding the axe tight, his
eyes sharp, paying attention closely to Alexandro.
Alexandro stood
still, with his paws on his side leaving his front open, compared to azlar he
seemed rather relaxed.
Azlar made the first
move, slashes forward three times with quick successions, no one expected such
speed coming from someone carrying an axe that heavy. Alexandro managed to
dodge one, blocked the other one, but the third slash hit his helmet all the
way to his face.
Azlar lifted his axe
up again, he seemed ready to do another strike, and then he strikes... only to
find his giant target was missing. Out of nowhere Alexandro’s huge claw slashed
Azlar’s left stomach. Azlar felt immense pain... but no time to rest,
Alexandro’s paws is already on top of him, now Azlar have to use his axe
defensively.
Alexandro attacked
time and time again, Azlar could only dodge and block for quite a while. Until
he saw Alexandro’s left stomach was exposed.
Alexandro roared
while Azlar launched his counter attack, Alexandro’s enormous body grew even
bigger as Azlar was slashing Alexandro’s left stomach. It was a direct hit, the
crowd yelped, mothers covering their child’s eyes, fathers cringed with their
face to the side and their eyes half closed, expecting blood splashes. Then a
scream of pain like everybody was expecting, but, not Alexandro’s, it was
Azlar’s as Alexandro managed to claw Azlar’s face repeatedly, moving in
increasing agility as if he was experiencing no injury at all.
Blood dripped out of
his wounds Azlar roared and jumped to the back, panting heavily Azlar stepped
back away to the edge of the fountain.
The crowd cheered
loudly.
Inside his head Azlar
spoke; “So he could heal his own wounds and increase his damage absorption”
Now Azlar stepped off
the fountain to the dry ground, he paid attention to his surrounding as if he
was searching for something. Alexandro saw that Azlar’s guard was down he
believed he could end the fight quickly, with a deep breath he ran towards
Azlar and jumped out of the fountain with his claws swinging. This time Azlar
quickly spins around and hit Alexandro’s face really hard.
Alexandro dropped to
the ground made a loud boom noise. But Azlar is not satisfied, he swings his
axe down with a deadly force, made another direct hit to Alexandro’s neck.
To everyone’s
surprise, Alexandro’s head wasn’t cut, but there was a massive wound, and blood
flowing out of it. Azlar seemed satisfied, he didn’t launch another attack.
Shortly, Alexandro stood up and shook his head, to Alexandro’s surprise, this
time the wound doesn’t heal well.
Alexandro ran
backwards a few steps, touched his neck while making a concerned face... Not
long after he realized something...
Alexandro: “So, you
have a special skill”
Azlar: “You sound
pretty calm for someone who almost died”
Alexandro: “This is
nothing”
With that said
Alexandro attacked Azlar with amazing speed, as if he was enraged, clawing left
and right, front and back, Azlar blocked some of the attacks with his axe, and
some he dodged, but he have to sustain multiple wounds again this time.
Once again Azlar
jumped back, then he spinned his axe again and again, blocking and attacking at
the same time. Alexandro roared in pain as Azlar kept on targetting his head,
his wounded neck made it hard for him to move his head around. Alexandro
stepped back, but he isn’t giving up, furiously he continued his attack again
and now with all of his might he charged into the swinging axe, and targeted
Azlar’s exposed back and sides successfully dealt critical damages.
Azlar screamed in
pain, these critical strikes managed to limit his movement because with more
swings, more pain must he endure. Alexandro is not doing so great either, his
body shrunk again to the original size and blood dripping from inside his armor
to the floor.
Azlar: “So, you could
only do this for a limited time...”
Alexandro: *Smiles
“Yes, and you could do nothing no more...”
Azlar: “What?”
Alexandro: “There’s
no point continuing, you are heavily injured”
Azlar: “What?
Hahaha... Is this an excuse to stop fighting? Are you giving up now?”
Alexandro: “No, I’m
just wondering, why are you doing this?”
Azlar was taken a
back by this question, his eyes became empty as he looked away far to the back
of the crowds.
But after a short
silence, he’s back to reality, his face looked annoyed,
Azlar: “Are you still
up for a fight? I see you are buying time to be able to grow your body
again...”
Alexandro:
*Speechless
Azlar: “Indeed”
Then Azlar hold up
his axe high again and charged forward, it seems that he really don’t want
Alexandro to be able to use his roar skill again...
Meanwhile, the
guardians have managed to meet with Aruru.
Aruru was just about
to eat in her little house when 3 of them barged in...
Guardian 1: Aruru,
there is a commotion in town, a lion...
Guardian 2: A lion
Guardian 3: A lion...
Aruru: A lion?
Guardian 1: with Axe
Guardian 2: with Axe!
Guardian 3: with
Axe...
Aruru: With Axe?
Guardian 1: Very
Guardian 2: Yes very
Guardian 3: Very Very
Aruru: Stop! Finish
your panting first,
Then they all dropped
to the ground panting heavily... (To be continued)
Aruru is a small halflings, standing only half as tall
as the average Minoses you would be surprised that she is the Chief of
Guardians in Makenia.
