Armored x Magic girls ‘title forever work in progress’ stories of the past "the king that sits on the hill of the dead"

maybe some 5-10 thousand years ago in the world of magic. separated from the rest of the continent by mountains the people living there believed on the other side is the spirit realm and dared not venture there. in their own past there used to be more kingdoms but as one smaller was destroyed by their former allies it sparked a war between the 2 biggest kingdoms. another instead of picking sides left out of fear towards the mountains never to be seen again. the trouble making kingdom was defeated and lost a good chunk of territory. nowadays they're trying to provoke war again. to be fair these are not big nations while they claim big territories they don't have cities, towns, villages conquered territory only has a fort. technically there are 3 kingdoms nowadays but there is also underwater realm which they believe is ruled by a god of see but spoiler back then people didn't know what a necromancer is.

now this king had 2 wives. the one he loved with whom he had a lot of children and the one that was forced on him by underwater "god". she had one child and the king did not believe it was his so he asked a wizard to use magic and try to find out. the wizard instead had a weird vision from which the sacred spirit of this kingdom chased him out off. in the field he saw a man sitting on a chair surrounded by dead soldiers a wolf lying next to him as he approached the man it turned out this was no wolf as sacred bear spirit roared at him. funny thing is the boy showed up with bleeding arm and a wolf, guards made a big fuss about it. the boy claimed it wasn't the wolf that hurt him and it's his friend. king allowed the wolf to stay because in the vision it was the sacred spirit but the 2nd wife was pissed at that decision.

skipping some details in their present day the other kingdom got their casus belli and crushed this kingdom mostly because a traitor gave them infos (spoiler mc's mother) and they executed everyone

mc was holding a fort and as they lost something triggered in mc who released unusual magic that killed the 1st army attacking them. the 2nd that arrived latter retreated as they had no way of knowing the situation. 1st was lead by king's son while the 2nd by his daughter and the 2nd thought how the 1st just lost so the woman was advised by her advisor to seek reinforcement as the fort's strength was clearly underestimated. she hated he was right as she wanted to prove herself. later someone shows up out of nowhere in the fort and ask mc what did he do. mc is confused what he means as his soldiers return to life while this person is claiming to be the keeper of the underworld.

he tells him how he will allow this only if he does few things for him. 1st save a trapped giant, 2nd save the sacred spirit of his nation as it is dying, 3rd go to mountains as there is a spirit in the underworld with a regret he would like to fix. turns out the kingdom that vanished has been living in cave systems under mountains but this spirit of their former ruler wants them to return to the surface. at the same time enemies are searching for him, his mother is there and the fort is now occupied by them. they don't consider him to be a threat as his mother is on their side. at the same time in 3rd kingdom queen receives messengers and asks them if they're aware what the content of the letter was, they were not. her own daughter was kidnapped by their king so she tells them she will spare their lives but they have to decide, options are to continue living under evil king or save her daughter. upon returning they find out her daughter was actually dead this whole time and escape to tell her that. turns out it was really the queen's sister that made an agreement with the evil king and this was her doing and now she will kill the queen but her daughter will be shocked at what her mother did.

and now for my favorite scene

at the fort as the daughter of the king is sitting with her back to window at the table, her advisor opposite of her and mc's mother on her left. the advisor is shocked at what he is seeing.. snow, snow is failing in the desert. soldiers are shouting and a huge impressive army can be seen from the walls and mc shows up on a horse, giant on his right and wolf on left and the wolf is about to do something but it's the sacred spirit that roars and the snow storm becomes heavier as archers fill the sky with arrows but the enemies wizard blocks them with a shield but now he is struggling to hold his staff and the shield breaks and he sees the keeper in the sky. and now they're asked to leave the fort. the woman is once again angry that her advisor is right as she listens to him and they leave. but later they will find the fort abandoned as this was just a distraction. mc's army left for 3rd kingdom as the 4th request from the keeper was also from the dead queen and she wanted them to save her niece.

they will save dead queen's niece whom her own mother imprisoned so she would not revel the truth. now that the truth is out nobleman want the niece to be the queen but she rejects as because of what her mother did she doesn't believe herself to deserve the crown. she tells them to rule themselves and to stay out of war with that troublesome kingdom and she will go with someone who deserves the crown more than her "a king with no kingdom" "a king who sits on the hill of the dead" she didn't know about the vision she said those words because he was the only heir of a kingdom where everyone was dead.

the last request from the keeper will have mc go to ruins of old destroyed kingdom where he will find out more about his side of the family.. skipping the details i mean its no secret that he is great grandson of the "god" of see but he will meet his great grandma there for the first time. skipping some other details like evil king lost a lot of children 2 sons in this war and the oldest long before the war as the 2nd oldest wanted to be the heir but now he will realize him from prison believing his ambitions will make him a good threat for the mc but meh died like all the rest on the battlefield.

this kingdom lost as even the 3rd kingdom joined in final battle and castle was besieged not only that but the mc will got some help from family he never meet as ships from the other side of the mountains where his mother's mother was show up. as the evil king will commit suicide the advisor says to that woman they should surrender but she had enough of his advises and is shouting to keep fighting and the advisor just stabs her in the back.

Regulus is the type of sibling that would make fun of the way Sirius dresses (calling him tacky and tasteless every chance he gets) and then turns around and steals the very clothes he this is “unfashionable”. He’ll walk around the house in Sirius’ band tshirts and be caught leaving the house in his leather jackets because “they look better with his outfit” than anything he owns himself. Regulus will look him up and down and without blinking say “you’re going out dressed like that” and then copy the outfit word for word a week later.

I can't stop thinking about if Simon had taken Edwin's offer

Like Charles finds Edwin in the hallway as ever but this time there's another boy there too, cowering against the wall next to him. Maybe the dollhead spider doesn't care about Simon, too busy focusing on its favorite target, so Charles is left standing in the hallway with Simon when Edwin is taken.

They get out of hell, but Edwin doesn't confess due to Simon hovering behind his elbow. He doesn't want to confess his emotions in front of his killer, who he probably hasn't even properly figured out how he's feeling towards yet.

The Night Nurse is pissed they came out with an extra soul but Niko's same loophole still applies and Simon stays.

"This is Simon," Edwin says when it's all said and done, finally introducing the boy that's been hiding behind him since the door closed. "He was a...classmate of mine."

"He saved me," Simon says, looking up at Edwin moony-eyed and Charles knows that look and something settles heavy in his stomach.

"Glad to have ya, mate," he tells him even though the words taste sour. This other boy knew Edwin when he was alive, the thought is slightly terrifying to him.

Simon settles in fine with the agency even if the agency feels a little crowded now with five people in it but he continues to moon over Edwin and Edwin just...never tells anyone how they actually knew each other. He reasons it just doesn't matter, that he can't find the right time, whatever.

Charles never really warms up to him, though he tries to hide it, but he sees the looks Simon gives Edwin, a soppy smitten look that is somehow worse than anything Monty or the Cat King ever tried with Edwin because of all of them, Simon arguably knows the most about like Edwardian courting. That, like Edwin, Simon has also survived hell. Charles hates the idea that someone could potentially understand Edwin more than he does.

He hates it so much that nothing further happens between him and Crystal because the idea of Edwin being left alone with Simon bothers him so much. He sees Simon adjusting Edwin's collar one (1) time and it makes him feel sick.

And then there's the fortune-teller.

They only go to her sometimes for cases because she never fails to freak Charles out but her prophecies tend to be accurate like 60% of the time which is pretty good for a fortune teller. She looks at the two of them at the end, because it is just the two of them for once, and then looks just at Edwin.

"How kind you are," she says, the words a compliment but the tone snide. "To house your killer. Pray tell it doesn't come back to you."

"What." Charles says. "The fuck."

Charles is furious, of course, and it takes Edwin a long time to talk him out of smashing Simon's face in with the new cricket bat.

"He's like me," he insists in that quiet but firm voice. Charles wants to scream that Simon is nothing like Edwin - that he doesn't have a fraction of Edwin's kindness or pissiness, that his blue eyes are not nearly as beautiful as Edwin's green - but before he can even open his mouth, Edwin continues. "He...He likes boys, Charles. He likes me."

Oh. Oh.

Charles stares at Edwin who is looking back at him, trying and failing to hide the fact he's terrified, and Charles doesn't give one shit that Edwin likes boys because he's his best mate forever. He's still pissed that Simon is apparently staying but he has to hug Edwin at that. "I'm still pissed you didn't tell me about him," is all he says, swallowing back the other words he wants to say.

Charles grows even more paranoid about Simon being around, who has to get used to the fact that Charles takes to swinging his cricket bat ominously every time he comes within ten feet of Edwin. He finds out that adjusting clothing was an Edwardian courting thing and wants to break something. The very idea the very person who killed his best mate is now trying to put the moves on said best mate pisses him off.

It also makes him think of numerous times Edwin had readjusted his collar or jacket in the past and it makes his non-existent stomach flip.

Eventually, Simon decides he's ready to move on to his after-life and Charles keeps his hands from fisting when he looks at Edwin with that same soppy look. He knows Edwin has forgiven Simon by now but Charles has always been better at holding a grudge and he knows what is going to come out of Simon's mouth before he even asks. He knows that if Edwin says yes, he won't stop him.

Charles also knows that if Edwin does, there is no way he is going to find any kind of his own afterlife.

"You could come with me," Simon says hopefully and the moment after is the longest in Charles' life.

"Thank you, Simon," Edwin says kindly and Charles has to keep himself from crying. "But I have no interest in going anywhere without Charles."

He steps back - away from Simon and back towards Charles. Ears suspiciously pink, Edwin links their hands and they watch as Simon follows the Night Nurse.

“I wish you’d stop wearing my brother’s clothes,” Sirius said with a scowl, nodding at the Slytherin scarf wrapped around James’ neck. “Green isn’t your color.”

“Every color is his color,” Regulus argued, suddenly standing beside James.

James had slept over in Regulus’ dorm room the night before; he had gotten ready there before breakfast, and wasn’t expecting to see Regulus again until after their school days were over. “Although I am partial to him putting my clothes on instead of his own after we fu—”

“That’s—“ Sirius cleared his throat, quickly drowning out the rest of Regulus’ sentence with his own sound of disgust. He turned away, muttering quietly to himself, “I hate this.”

“Are you trying to give him a heart attack?” James asked with a laugh, turning away from his best friend’s retreating back and looking down at his boyfriend.

“Me?” Regulus asked indignantly, feigning offense. “You’re the one who grabbed my scarf this morning.”

“It smells like you,” James replied, almost petulantly. The words were confident, but he could feel the heat of embarrassment creeping up his cheeks.

Regulus smiled up at him, a soft, knowing thing that was reserved only for James, before grabbing each end of the offending scarf in each of his fists. He tugged roughly, yanking James’ head down until their lips were a mere hairsbreadth apart.

“Meet me in my dorm at lunch and you can earn it back,” Regulus said suggestively, before pulling James into a deep kiss. There was the distant, unmistakable sound of Sirius choking on his pumpkin juice behind them, but James could hardly hear it, all of his senses honing in on the feel of Regulus’ tongue against his own. His focus was solely on the promise of what was to come. “But right now I need it back, or I won’t hear the end of it from Slughorn.”

James whined as they broke apart, but he let Regulus pull the fabric from around his neck, and watched as Regulus turned to walk away with nothing more than a wink.

“Stop staring at my little brother,” Sirius said, walking back up to James and smacking him in the back of the head. “We’re going to be late for transfiguration.”

“But he’s so p—”

“If I have to hear you tell me that he’s pretty one more time, I’m gonna hit you again.”

James huffed out a laugh, but obediently followed Sirius to class in silence anyway.

He spent the rest of the morning keeping his thoughts to himself, the ones of a pretty pale body writhing beneath his touch, of pretty pink lips and pretty grey eyes.

Lunch didn’t come nearly fast enough.

Armored x Magic girls ‘title forever work in progress’ stories of the past "the heart of magic"

in the world of magic thousand and thousand of years ago before present day kingdoms there was one that got struck by natural disaster and lost their king. a fisherman saved a baby from the flooded village and the castle was lost in the see as the cliff broke.

nobleman of this realm do to their dislike of each other and disagreements didn't accept a child princess as the next ruler and so no ruler was chosen at all. as another kingdom started conquering them slowly even that was not enough to unite them once again and even the princess who grew up was defeated on the battlefield and hung from the tree by this enemies. the people then started calling one nobleman a king but his reign was short as wizard using magic to scout was deceived and as it was discovered how his vision was tricked he raised the alarm but not because of the enemies threat but because he send out his apprentices to bring a really important artifact and if what he is seeing is fake then both the apprentices and artifact are in danger. it was as he suspected as shadow wolfs attacked the convoy and surviving apprentices were trying to escape. they tried to lay a trap but the plan was ruined and their location reveled by a sorceresses who freaked out believing the shadow wolf discovered her. a knight from the castle saved them and send them on their way except the sorceress, he took her away as others were now hostile towards her but also because he needed her to trace back the stolen artifact. possessed by an evil spirit a different wizard from their castle had it now and they defeated him trapping the spirit in her necklace. as they returned to the castle the enemy besieged it asking for surrender which the king did but as the gates were open the black armored general showed no mercy and ordered attack. the young sorceress managed to escape with the artifact.

many years later in conquered parts of the realm the baby all grown up is saved by that sorceress now a mature women and really powerful in magic. she wants to meet with the rebellion and save same imprisoned people, she would not say it but she mostly wanted to save the knight that once saved her. afterwards she reveals the artifact is a puzzle which hides the location of the heart of magic and they need to find it.

the short lived king's brother is now besieged as the enemy wants to negotiate. he obviously does not trust them as the old man claims the general which killed his brother acted on his own. the offer he proposes is arranged marriage. his son would be married to the daughter of the nobleman who switched sides and joined the other kingdom. remembering the child this man is glad at the opportunity to take her away from her mean father but later it is reveled the enemy were just using the girl kinda like trojan horse. (they will not know it but that wasn't even her but a fake). as the town within the walls is attacked an imposing army shows up and everyone is shocked looking at their banner. "royal banners" (but whose royal army dun dun dun). that army crushes the invaders. and we find out it was the believed to be dead princess. she claims how the news of her defeat were wrong and how she is not interested in ruling only defeating the invaders and freeing the realm. something is definitely off tho as her army has people we saw die in her defeat and she hides her neck that has the mark from the noose.

at the same time as trojan attack xD the party finds the heart and it's reveled the sorceress was only this powerful now because the spirit in the necklace made a deal with her, clamming her safety is his he actually tricked her to gain a window out and waited for the heart to be found. now possessed sorceress and the knight jump into the heart of magic and 4 people emerge. the knight and the unpossessed sorceress, the spirit in physical form and later unknown girl who defeats him using same skills as the sorceress before deception was reveled and the knight. the heart created her after them. at that time too in a 3rd kingdom meditating sages sensed on the waves of magic the heart and realized its location as they discuss they come to conclusion the invading kingdom must have known the heart is in that kingdom and they all agree "the heart must be protected".

and this is not the end that's where me fantasizing about this story stopped xD
