The Blade of Steel

xrhainax
In the fractured kingdom of Thaiyocuria, where ancient alliances lie in ruin and war-hungry empires press against weakening borders, one princess dares to reforge what time and pride have broken. Ria, heir to the House of Ravens, has endured trauma, political isolation, and the heavy burden of duty-but she refuses to be a pawn. With the echoes of war on the horizon, she makes a bold move: unite the Old Four Kingdoms-Wolves, Dragons, Serpents, and Ravens-into one alliance strong enough to withstand the coming storm. But in doing so, she draws both admiration and ire, especially from the proud and powerful House of Dragons. As tensions rise in the council chambers, so too does an emotion far more dangerous than politics-forbidden desire. Her sworn knight, Alexander, is bound to protect her, not love her. But in the quiet moments between strategy and ceremony, their restraint begins to fray. Old secrets stir. Betrayals take root. And as foreign envoys arrive under the guise of diplomacy, Ria must decide if her heart has room for both peace and passion-or if one will have to be sacrificed for the other. A tale of power, love, and resilience, The Blade of steel is a sweeping political fantasy where romance and duty clash beneath the banners of long-forgotten kingdoms, and a single woman's will might be the key to saving-or destroying-the realm.

As Lex Luthor's Son in Young Justice/DC With Archangel Grace

To be born anew... One would think it a blessing, but to me for the longest it was a curse. A mighty soul they called me, and I was - I certainly still am. For I was a soul that the dying grace of a fallen archangel latched onto. I was reborn with might virtually unending, yet it was still a curse. I was born too strong. My body could not handle my strength, and it fell into a deep sleep. A sleep that was only physical, for my soul did not rest. There was only darkness for so long, and were it not for the echoing hyms of Heaven that my grace hummed I would have perhaps gone mad. That is, until like a dim pinprick a light began to appear within the darkness. It grew brighter day by day, year by year, and with it, I could hear more of the world beyond. I could... I could hear a man calling to me, his voice a incoherent murmer, yet always recognizeable. Always there, everyday. Until finally one day I could understand him. Lex Luthor. My father. His son. That is who I was. Who I will be. ---------------------------- (Author note: This is about a guy, from our world, reborn in DC, but with the grace of Lucifer as he died against Michael!Dean in Supernatural Season 13 episode 22. He was born in a body that couldn't handle his strength and was in a coma for 19 years, till he finally awakes. He's very overpowered, but can't really exercise it, since using too much power will destroy his body, and leave him only as an archangel that can't interact with the physical world. This story will have a lot of slice of life in it, action will be there, but real heavy fighting isn't gonna be a focus as he can't besides in special circumstances. Though, do know, he is Luthor's son. He is a anti-hero and not a hero, as he is the son of a villain, and an archangel who is quite cold to the world when he sees things from such a higher perspective, so will act only in ways that he wants and not out of a sense of duty fo help others or the like. There are more things to say, so please read the auxiliary chapter, well, I hope to see you all later, Bye!)
